i can't think of a witty title, so this will have to do
i'm tired, i shouldn't be, but i am, well, i suppose technically i should be tired seeing as i think i only got about 5 hours sleep, which obviously wasn't good...
work has been a bit odd... i can sit here for ages not doing anything, not because i don't want to, but because i can't, then all of a sudden everything comes in at once and i'm flooded with it again.
for some reason i've been having a few bad days this week and although i think it's down to a mix of being over tired and work is getting a little irritating, i can't think of anything else which would contribute to it
my car decided that it would lock the stereo this morning...that was great, i put the key in, the stereo started, when i turned the ignition, the stereo read "radio locked" brilliant! that means i need to take it over to the garage i got it from, but there's the problem seeing as the "fitters only work monday to friday" and i only work monday to friday, i can't get the car there, especially as they don't have a courtesy car...brilliant, so i'm face with driving around with no tunes for a while or having to bunk off work to try and get the car over to the garage and get the stereo sorted...i know which option i'd choose, but bunking off work is harder than it should be
driving home last night i realised that i now drive to work without really paying much attention to the road and more attention to the other vehicle on the road, and although this sounds ideal, i'm actually referring to the fact that i'm starting to recognise other cars on the road as having seen them the previous day on roughly the same bit of road, example, i pass a Norbert Dentressengle lorry every day on the A34 between abingdon and didcot on the way home, now although i'm pretty sure it's not the same lorry, it's kinda freaky that i pass one every day on the same section of road. for those who don't know, Norbert Dentressengle are a logistics firm that roll around in big red lorries with white writing on them. there's a car i see every few days on the road, there's another lorry firm that i usually see, although this morning i saw a van not a lorry... i usually people watch while i'm driving too, this morning i saw someone putting on their make-up in the car, it's ok we were in a stationary line of traffic when she started, but then we started moving and she was still doing it... there was a nice looking woman the other day with her finger stuck up her nose, that made me chuckle, i have nothing against nose pickers, but to see someone doing it while stuck in traffic and totally oblivious to the fact that everyone else around her was watching...makes me laugh. there are the people who sing along with what ever they are listening to (oh how i envied them this morning) some do it softly, others are really giving to some, there seems to be no happy medium... i do it sometimes, and i do it sometimes when i have people in the car with me, that can be embarressing when you're singing to something cheesy or totally out of character to your persona. it makes me laugh when people realise that they're being watched while singing and try to pretend they weren't doing it, the ingenious ways they come up with is funny, one pretended to swap his "phone" to the other ear last week to i could he was actually talking on it, but seeing as he didn't actually have his hand to his other ear in the first place i couldn't help but laugh.
just realised i'm talking balls again so i'm going to go back to my little quote that i'm working on and see if i can finish off the packet of Haribo sweets i've just pulled out of my secret stash draw before anyone else pinches one
take it easy peeps
