Not at My Chirpiest

[Friday 24th October]
Slightly frustrating day at work today - I spent the whole day doing things for other people, and couldn't get any of my own work done whatsoever. Still, I guess it is all for the greater good and all that, but sometimes it can be a bit frustrating when you have a big pile of your own work to get through, and you don't even manage to get started on it because of a barrage of requests for help from other people. Ho, hum.

On the plus side though, today marked two years since the official launch of the project I work on (which started a short while before I started at the company), and so today's breakfast was, rather bizarrely, a glass of champagne and a doughnut

At the end of the day I went along to the usual beer-and-pizza thing, but following yesterday's health assessment I restricted myself to just-one-beer-and-no-pizza.

It has occurred to me I probably ought to keep some sort of diary if I am going to try and stick to 21 units a week, which struck me as quite a good idea for a web app - although presumably somebody has already thought of this.

I was feeling a bit mopey when I got home - it is getting on for 3 weeks now since my Icesave account was "frozen", I've been following the news pretty much daily since then, and despite the initial guarantees made by the UK government, they still don't seem to be able to sort it out with the Icelandic government, and I am getting the sense this is going to drag on for a very long time, which is really quite depressing.

Add onto that being worried about Vera, plus a looming trip to New York that I don't really want to make, and then the general onset of winter, less daylight and so on, and I'm generally not at my chirpiest right now.

Watched some telly though, and that cheered me up a bit. Particularly Bill Bailey's Part Troll which was tres amusant.
