Its later than you think

Good morning everybody! And isn't it a FINE one? Sunny with blue skies, and of course it's FRIDAY. Being in a bizarrely good mood, I have decided that today is NICE FRIDAY and today i shall be NICE to everyone, because I am lovely.

To start off, here is a very cute picture of Muddy Ziggy




Also, while looking thro photos on my phone, I found a couple I don't remember taking at all on last sat. night, I may post these in a bit ;)

Now I have to go see the boss lady about some figures she wants but doesn't know what she wants or something. But I shall be NICE (and if I can keep this up til lunchtime, I'll be doing well ;p)

Yes, more! For the first time in ages I actually remembered to bring the camera out while it was daylight, to get some pics to compare Fat Ziggy of a few months ago with the Fit Ziggy of today ;)

The difference is quite impressive I think!

( After )

yep, another monday post!
Weekend was quietish, the wedding friday night went better than I expected, despite feeling totally miserable from the bloody cold. Was actually quite fun to watch my little bro and his friends being 'grown up' in suits. Tho after a few pints it was very like being back at his 8th b'day party or something.
Possibly the oddest moment was Bisto, who i've know since he was 4, sneaking up to tell me they'd skinned up outside and I should come out for a smoke.

Sat. and sunday mostly spent either at stables or asleep. Sat. was fun, went out to back field and had a few nice quiet canters and one unplanned gallop. Still, shows the horse is getting fitter.
Sunday not so good. Bloody mare being bloody mareish and refusing point blank to do anything. It took 3 of us getting on and off her to get her to shift at all. Eventually got a canter accompanied by much bucking and face pulling. Hopefully tonight will be better!

Work today, mostly groggy and grumpy from unexplained lack of sleep last night. SPent most of the day reading mafia, may do something this afternoon. might not tho :p

Trying not to think about how to sort out the next few weeks. May post about it just to try and get it straight in my head tho.

Well, its Monday, it must be update time! I do mean to do it during the week too, but I never do!

Anyway, was in a good mood this morning having had quite a packed weekend - drinking with family and many cousins on friday night, manic riding over the beach on sat. which certainly cleared the hangover but left me stiff all over.
Altho i did manage to negotiate up and down steps on a horse I'd never sat on before, as well as the mad gallops along the beach, so am rather proud of myself.

Then Sarah (Thesme to any scene readers) came to visit Sat night. We drink pink champagne, I introduced her to the joys of MST3K and we talked about dead people.

Even the horror of Cemetary Sunday couldn't quite ruin the mood. Tho an hour standing in a packed graveyard in the rain going 'Mumblemumble DIRGE mumblemumble DIRGE mumblemumble holy water mumble EVERYBODY'S DEAD' isn't how I'd recommend rounding off a weekend.

And now work. Well here's a joy. The new overall boss wants to 'restructure' the place. So he had a big meeting today to explain to everyone about it. Well. Everyone except us contract staff. AAs (lowest level of life in the civil service) who will only be here 3 months were invite. I've been working here for 12 years, most of the others - who do the actual core work, the stuff they're legally obliged to do - have been here 8 years. But we're obviously not considered part of the 'team' enough to be told wtf is going on, despite the fact that this will affect how we work and who we work with/for.

I'm not even sure why this has me so pissed off. I should be used to this treatment by now. Whats one more slap in the face after all? I think I will get my lovely dividend cheque today, made up of profit we've gained as working under contract as our own company instead of directly for these fuckers, and go on a spending spree.
After we have our meeting with the bank to discuss how we should invest the rest of the money we've made, so we get even more.

I feel better already actually ;)
