Topsy turvy week
It’s been one of those weeks where it’s been impossible to predict what’s coming next.
On Monday I developed severe abdominal pains and had to go home from work. It felt like food poisoning, but apart from the excruiating pain there were no other symptoms. This meant I missed the last week but one of my marketing course. I had a telephone consultation with the doctor and he didn’t have a clue, but we both figured that I wasn’t dying so I’d just have to live with it. I was off Tuesday and Wednesday too, when I was supposed to be in Cheltenham on a training course, so that all went pear shaped too. Daytime telly really is a drag - I think they make it so bad to make going to work preferable.
On Thursday a work colleague decided to leave and left - she’s not working her notice, she’s got a new job starting tomorrow. Well I guess there’s no time like the present. We’re all a bit jealous really that she’s escaped.
Also on Thursday my sister had all manner of problems at work and had to call the Union in to sort it out. I was on emergency counselling duties to help her through it, but I’m not sure that I’d have coped any better than she did if I’d been in her position. Her management team have behaved disgracefully and should all be reprimanded.
On Friday I went out with some friends from work - we didn’t get charged for the train and we all ended up getting our meal for free (although I can’t say how for legal reasons). Very cheap night out and lots of fun - shame about the hangover though - I could have lived without that.
We also won £40 on the Euromillions this Friday with the work’s syndicate. OK, so we bought £40 worth of tickets, but normally we don’t even win a tenner. Maybe our luck is changing?
I received an unexpected package yesterday morning - Mum had sent me a book which was a lovely surprise. It’s all about food.
Obviously this morning we’d no water.
OK, so perhaps it’s not the most exciting week ever recorded but at least stuff happened. Not all good stuff, but not all bad stuff either. Helped the week speed by anyway. I wonder what’s coming next?
