Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I don't normally bother with decorations because I'm lazy, mostly, but I've put up some tinsel and I've got some ceiling decorations to go up and I think I'll put the fairy lights up around the glass in my lounge door. It does make the place look more cheerful, I must say.

Got ShitStirrer's Sekrit Santa pressie tonight - small bottle of Southern Comfort - and that's all wrapped and ready to go, so I'm all organised. It's the office Xmas lunch tomorrow, when we'll do the present exchange. Looking forward to that, we always have a good time and it's a proper Christmas do, usually, with crackers and stuff :D

I got my letter from the Occupational Health Doc today, which I'd already seen, because Foghorn had shown me her copy at work. He said what he said he would, although I didn't expect him to actually put in writing it would be good if the flexible hours of working could continue after the Christmas vacation :D Not that I thought they'd get arsey about it but it's nice to have it in writing - "Look, the Doc SAYS I'm gonna be tired!" I've done 3 days of 5 hours this week and I'm doing OK. I think I'll try for six after Christmas, see how it goes. I can always step down for a couple of days if it feels like being too much.

And now I must go and watch a gruesome programme on Discovery about machines of execution :D Do excuse me!

I had my early night last night (I was in bed by 10pm!) and guess what? Yeh, I didn't get to sleep until gone midnight anyway. *sighs* I was really restless all night, actually, even though I was tired. Hmf. Well I'll go to bed at midnight tonight and see if I sleep better. Expect I will :)

Ahh that Friday feeling! And I've come by it honestly this week, having completed my first week of work in three months. And yes, I'm shattered :P But it's going well and next week I'll up my hours to six a day, see how that goes.

We did the Sekrit Santa today - I've got ShitStirrer! No, I don't know why we had to include her when she doesn't work in the office any more. Drat! So now I've got to think of something she'd like...and no, I'm not allowed to booby trap it :P We've also put up the Christmas decorations in the office today - our tree is so blinged out that I'm taking the camera in on Monday to nab a picture of the hideous spectacle! The tinsel and other decorations in the office has made it look nice, I think we all felt it was a bit more like "home" now :)

Funny moment of the day - I did the 7 Days news quiz on the BBC website, as is my wont. They rank your score in three categories, always relevant to one of the questions in the quiz. I nearly fell off my chair giggling when I saw today's options and the rank I achieved. It's never been more appropriate!
