My imminent return to work on Monday has made me do all sorts of odd things, including reviving this journal and dropping in on a few communities I haven't sploshed in for ages.

Not expecting any replies, not expecting anyone to be here; it has been a long time.

Having been drawn in by the terrific and original story of xlormp I was compelled to actually read "Twiglet" *ahem* ‘Twilight’, the book with a plot that carries a passing resemblance the totally original story about a space alien.

So I read it and I found myself getting more and more irked by his stuey sparkliness and the insipid fail that is Bella and had reached a stage of such annoyance that I was ready for ranting about how vampires most certainly do not do that, vampires do not prance about in daylight and drive cars at speeds above their technical capabilities on the grounds of super speshul super fast reflexes, vampires don’t play fucking baseball in the mountains in thunderstorms and for the love of all things evil and bitey they do not, I repeat they do not

SPARKLE!

Nor, I then recalled, do they exist.

Then I lol'd.

I am so tired.

Even this is not sparkly enough to keep me awake.

I am posting this post that I am posting just so that I can use this icon. You will know that I have posted it because in the corner of the post that I have posted there will be the icon that I have used.

Well I'm having one of those weeks.

Seriously, someone has stolen my motivation chip, or maybe its broken, I don't know.

I'm not particularly looking forward to recruiting, I'm going to find it really challenging to be positive about the company. Consider this hypothetical interview scenario:

Whiffs: So why do you want to leave your current employer?
Interviewee: Its just time to move on, I've been there for three years and I'd like to try somewhere else, this company has a really great reputation and looks like a fun place to work.
Whiffs: If you're a lawyer, why do you want to come and work here?
Interviewee: I'm not a lawyer, I'm an analyst.
Whiffs: Yet you think that a hive of politicking, mysogynistic, corporate backstabbers might be a fun place to work ...

See my point? ;)

Ugh, I feel like crap today. I want to go back to sleep.

I've a meeting this afternoon to discuss a response to a consultation and I have to write a reference and sort out the leaving procedure for one of my employees that resigned last week. After that its going to be the recruitment again.

More positively a bit of analysis I did to support the 2009 budget has mutated into the financial case for a project I want to implement next year! This is good becuase the board put it on hold until I could come up with a financial case and *kapoweee* there it is when I wasn't even looking.

And my usual sandwich shop is closed this week for holidays so I had to go to the other one and the sandwich they sold me was horrible.

I don't even have enough energy left to squee.

So, in short, I need 1 commercial analyst and a good night's sleep.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Please leave a comment if you would like to be added, I'll likely add you back, because I'm like that.
