Beating the blues - Day Four
Well i kind of cheated on this one, though not in the way i was originally expecting. You see we originially lamed out and decided that me going to my mums for the night counted as a holiday, because of the short notice from when i actually started the project, and since it's not where I actually live, but to be honeset it wasn't really very holidayey. Sure, i sit around doing nothing, but apart from that not so much.
Instead today has been much more like a holiday. i woke up, went to the doctors (for i am queen of getting stuff done) which already added to the holiday feel a little actualy, because it wasn't just going straight to work. Then when i did arrive at work i had a meeting with my team leader in which she asked me to sit with some new people and teach them to be good now. So for the first, oh at least hour of work i sat around waiting for my team leader to be ready to do that. And knitted. And read a little. Then i did half an hour of listening to this girl take calls. And knitted. And then i had to go have a meeting. It was a pretty pointless meeting, One of those meetings where the upper management come down and listen to the plebs complain about shit they ain't gonna fix so they can feel connected. i knitted. And then i pretened to wait for my teamleader to come back to ask if she wanted to keep listening to calls or what while really i hung out and chatted with james and laura and tried to stall my lunch break so i would still be around to chat when antoni got in. (workfriends all, you will here more about them when they become relevant to the stories) Then once i established that antoni was going to be a lazy bugger and not come to work today, i decided i really may as well just go home now.
so i went to get my blood tests, and had an OMFG SO GOOD I WANT TO HAVE IT'S BABIES ONLY THAT WOULD BE BAD BECAUSE I WOULD EAT THEM burger from grilled. (so expensive, and yes i know i could cook it myself for like 1/10 of the price. but soooooo goooooood.)
and wandered home and brought an icecream and cloudbaked naked on my bed while reading my book. there was lots of reading my book today. a very important holiday compotent. then i had a lazy day and did no cleaning and now we have homeycompany and will be getting pizza and watching vids and it is all very chilly and nice.
Of course holidays arne't completely without stress, and they don't completely cure the crazy. i did have a minor 'all the cool kids will have fun without me if i don't go for a walk with them' moment, (and am again now that i am thinking about it) i am mostly reminding myself that i am good tole, and staying and doing the useful things is good so that i can have fun with them later ;D dealing with the crazy is an important part of the getting better.
so all in all, yes i think holidays are good for the crazy and yes i would do them again. and now to fit in todays actually task: recycle old papers.
