BAH! HUMBUG!

I am aware that I haven’t posted in a while to tell everyone how hellish work is and I’ll tell you why – it’s because I’m now so damn miserable, I just can’t be bothered … But now, it’s 7.30 p.m., I’ve been here for hours and hours and I ain’t showing signs of going’ home, so I’m gonna tell you why:

(a) I got charged £20 for going over drawn at my bank cos only got paid half my salary again because I am a new joiner and they can’t work out the pay roll properly;
(b) PLUS there are enormous ructions in family over my uncle selling his business, which I own a % of, as he won't tell us anything and is trying to get us to agree that he can sign all documents for us (this is where having a lawyer as a niece makes it terribly hard to screw over your family);
(c) PLUS went to party at a friend's at the weekend who has just had cream carpets installed and she forced everyone to remove their shoes and was majorly paranoid re spillages - which, what with 50 people in the tiniest flat you have ever seen, happened about 60 times a minute – the guests spent most of evening huddled in groups trying to get stains out of the carpet with vanish - which annoyed the hell out of me;
(d) PLUS had a car accident at the weekend - entirely the other guy's fault but cannot now drive my car as is illegal until I get headlights fixed - so am travelling to work on the train in the cold, cold dark, while I await the ridiculously drawn out process of getting a hire car ... (However, due to nature of the accident (I was travelling quite happily and minding my own business down major road in stream of fairly heavy traffic when young squaddy in escort pulled straight across in front of me from a side road, causing me to simply smash into him) the other guy's car was pretty much totalled!! One whole side squashed in like a tin can - hurrah for German engineering!!! I have a VW Golf);
(e) PLUS have had terrible back ache for about a week - think it is sitting hunched over computer continually
(f) PLUS desperately wanted tomorrow morning off (and obviously can't have it) to see my very bright 3 year old niece in her starring role as Brian the Naughty Elf in the playschool play (complete with blond wig, since she announced she'd rather be Rapunzel and they need her as Brain and are acquiescing to her every whim).

So I’m sorry I haven’t been posting and I’m sorry I'm all bah! humbug! At this festive time of year but I’m just plain low down and gorramit miserable!!
