After taking over five months off work, I finally returned yesterday. After two half days back in the office, it feels like I have never been away!
Having completely destroyed my old desk, before I became poorly, I was given a brand new table to sit at, in a different area of the room.
I may have slightly exaggerated back there. My old desk wasn’t completely killed, although it wasn’t far off. The reason for my new seating arrangement was to get me working with a better posture and keeping me well. I am sure my department don’t want me falling ill for almost half a year again, any more than I do!
Moving desks was almost as bad as moving house. I have accrued so much crap over the years – 99% of it in no way work-related.
Here are some of the most useless finds from my old desk.
- A 2017 Leeds United calendar
- About half a dozen coffee mugs
- Packets of out-of-date food
- Enough medication to open a chemist
- Pins, used Post-It notes and loose staples
- Back issues of the staff newspaper
- An old air fresher
- An empty bottle of hand gel
- Loads and loads of pens
- A USB stick with nothing on it
- Old headphones
- An old, broken headset which I’ve never used
- Coffee that looks so stale, it’ll be deadly if consumed
You would have thought that I would have thrown all of this shit in the bin. I haven’t. Besides the old food, most of it still remains – even the dodgy coffee…

I received an email from work offering me a free Will.
Given the fact we're in the middle of a deadly worldwide pandemic, I'm not sure if I should be grateful or terrified.

Today was my first day off since dropping my hours and going part time.
This day off is known, within the department, as a "non-working day". Smart arses may argue that I have five of these a week already.
This "NWD", however, allows me to stay at home, wearing my pyjamas all day, should I so wish.... - My New Work Colleague

Yes, that is Shaun the Sheep peering up at the camera. He had been sitting on top of my computer for the past 5+ years, but was kicked off his throne this morning by Rabbit Di Nero.

This week is my last working five days Monday to Friday is over for me. From next week, I will no longer be working Tuesdays. Dropping a day is not a decision that I took lightly.

- I’ve Had Better Days: Part 2
The clocks have now gone back, I had a good night's sleep and have now settled down to blog the second installment of my Friday Frights, while Claire watches Liverpool play Spurs.
Where did we finish off last night? Oh yes, I had cleaned Neil Warnock and nursed him back to full, loud health. No idea...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
