Like my holidays.
They're over.
I'm back in work.

A change is as good as a rest
As you can see, I've just changed my template - and a change for the better it is too. Thank you very much, Mr Dan Rubin.
The Comment bits are built into this new template, so they look much neater than they did on my old blog, but sadly, it appears that I've lost all the comments that have been put in since I started.
I am too lazy to go through and re-enter them. I know that I'm killing time between now and home-time (and haven't I been doing a fine job of it?!), but there's a line that I won't cross. I'm not that bored. Yet.
Anyhoo - I just wanted y'all to know that I didn't purposely remove your input from my blog. Though bear in mind, it's my blog and I'll delete if I want to!
(6 hours to being officially on holidays!)

Holidays are coming...
For the past fortnight, I've been anticipating today, and now that it's here, I hardly know how I'm going to manage to retain a professional veneer for another 7 hours because at this stage I just do not care. I have lost the will to work.
At 4.45 this afternoon, I will down tools and go home a little early. (I say a little early, but I go home at that time nearly every day. I haven't got it that easy though, because I usually start work at around 8.30, so it's all swings and roundabouts.) Strictly speaking from 4.45, I will be on my holidays. In reality, I am on my holidays already.
Both of my bosses happen to have taken today off work and I don't share my office with anyone else, so who will know if I lock the door and curl up under my desk for a little nap before I go for coffee later this morning? Who will catch me if I spend the entire day with my feet up on the desk, reading the newspaper? Who will be concerned that I spent my last few hours in the office blogging and emailing friends that I haven't been in touch with for a while? Who?
Oh, that's right, NO-ONE!!!!!!!!!
A-ha ha ha! A-ha ha ha ha ha!! Ahhh!
So, what am I doing for my holidays? Well, nothing too exciting. Tomorrow, my husband and I will head down to Cork for a party and then on Sunday or Monday, we'll tootle across the south, through Waterford, to Wexford. We'll spend a fortnight in Kilrane (a little village just outside of Rosslare, but nicer) pootling about, following brown sign-posts, walking, swimming, fishing, reading and writing my thesis. (He doesn't know it yet, but it will be a joint effort - oh yes!)
After that, I might decide that I like the life of leisure so much that I'll hand in my notice and quit my job. Though that's not terribly likely. I need my salary more than that particular moment of gratification... Dammit!
