Mondays

Went back to work today after a fortnight off, yuck!

Actually it wasn't too bad, as returns to work go, relatively stress free, without any nasty problems appearing on my desk; but I'm still quite tired afterwards.

As the Boomtown Rats said - I don't like Mondays!

Sadly nobody out there has seen fit to give me a million pounds, so that I can quit work and do something I want to do instead. With a million I could live happily off the interest even at 5% gross. Unfortunately real life doesn't work that way and most of us have to work by the sweat of our brows to make ends meet, and some people have trouble even doing that.

I guess I ought to be grateful for what I've got, after all, by Worldwide standards I am incredibly rich as are most of us in the West.

Still as a lowly government employee it is a bit annoying to see the obscene amounts paid to sportspeople and entertainers, when we are getting an effective pay cut. It wouldn't surprise me of M.P.s went and gave themselves a huge raise despite what Gordon Brown has said about restraint - I wish I could vote for what I got paid!
