Wednesday is Hump Day...
Feb. 5th, 2003 04:42 pmUnfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, considering how exhausted I am right now), not in the fashion you are undoubtably sniggering about now. *shakes head at you all* No, Hump Day means you're half-way through the week, and it's all downhill from here. Of course, considering the track record for Fridays here the past few weeks, it's going to be absolutely insane.
Not that today has been a walk in the park. The girl who normally does interstate registrations and warrants to seize property has been sick, on and off, all week, and her trays were full to overloading. So, after costing a pile of default orders an inch thick, I tackled those. This also entailed stealing her desk, her computer and her CD ROM (not her CDs, leastways not most of them - she has awful musical taste. She does, however, have the Buffy soundtrack and that's been doing much to rehabilitate me after the horror of Magic FM), and some CDs off another co-worker. I've been pretty much entrenched here for the entire day, working my butt off and getting stiffer and stiffer as what benefit was gained from the cycle in today in terms of working out the stiffness of last night's karate session was lost in inaction and a not-very-well-adjusted chair.
I did, however, get a job applciation in. Yay me. Two more due next week - and I will tackle them a little earlier than two days before, if only so my beleagured application beta has time to do them. Those are the promotion at Heidelberg, so I'll have to make sure they're good enough for interview, considering I didn't rate one last time.
More training tonight, which I'm anticipating with mixed degrees of enthusiasm. See, I'm glad to be back at training, however, my shoulders and hips have stiffened up nicely, my arms hurt and I feel bone-tired - you know that kind of tiredness, the one that makes your teeth ache and every part of you weigh five times as much. And Yona, I sympathise with the "oh hell, I don't remember anything" feelings - I've forgotten pretty much every kata I knew, except for the taikyoku and the first pinan. And I'm a black belt. *cringes* Definitely going 'cleanskin' for a while - I can't wear the belt until I get back up to standard.
Yay, five minutes to go. Gonna have to change my back tyre and figure out somewhere to stash myself until 6.30, which is when training starts. Can't be bothered riding home and back out again.
Hmm, co-workers talking plans for Friday. There's two of us leaving, and since I've only been here a short time, and as a temporary at that, I'm something of an addition to things. So I get to know about the afternoon tea, but not the pub that night. *sighs* The hassles of the itinerant court registrar... And oh God, they're talking about ages to start a family now. Great.
