Hmph! Seems like the party on Monday will be my only seasonal work party as I was off sick on Wednesday, so thought it a little unreasonable to turn up to the department do that night and last night we gave up, partly cause I had to be in the office at 5am this morning for work... Just as well I enjoyed Monday! Although I would much rather be fit and well for the next two weeks than have been out several times this week.

So yes, I've been at work since 5am checking the last upgrade of the year didn't break anything (which it seems not to have done). Didn't sleep at all well for the 6 hours I was in bed and am meant to be going with more teenagers than usual on a Friday to the cinema this evening. Maybe I'll have a sleep this afternoon when I get home!

I'm just waiting for colleagues to turn up to go and have breakfast with them (oh, and the canteen to open). First person of the day has just arrived. No prizes for guessing they're a contractor!
