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. Of course, that would be incredibly slobbish behaviour and something I would not be a part of. Honest…
Today’s pyjama party was lovely, although I am now confused about what to call it, or the days either side…
Tuesday is now like a weekend for me – as that will be the day I have been allowed to skive off every week.
Therefore, Mondays are the new Friday – as a weekend always follows Friday.
Wednesday – as in tomorrow – will now be called Monday – as the day after the weekend is always a Monday.
Monday is traditionally a day where everyone is depressed about having to return to work, spending most of the morning drinking coffee, chatting with equally melancholy colleagues and browsing the endless “Deal of the Day” pages on Amazon.
A coffee machine like this at work? I wish!
Therefore, for me at least, the traditional Wednesday is now Monday. Makes perfect sense. Even Wayne Rooney could understand it.
This just leaves one question… if Monday has now become Friday, what will the existing Friday – i.e. Friday 8th November (this week) – become?
I suppose that the most logical and sensible thing to do, would be to have Friday I and Friday II.
I can’t think of any other way of handling the situation.

I received an email from work offering me a free Will.

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. It will obviously have financial implications for me, plus now I have signed that change of conditions form, there is no going...

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... - I’ve Had Better Days: Part 1
I normally enjoy Fridays in the office. I feel that whatever happens across the eight or so hours that I spend at my desk, come 4.30pm, it is the weekend and I am out of there!
Each Friday, I wake up, telling myself that absolutely nothing can go wrong to ruin my day...

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.
