How to tell I’m still not completely well:

This morning at work, I changed my password. It’d been nagging me since last week to do so, so I finally got round to doing it. “Ah, that’ll be a good one”, I thought.

Normally, as soon as I’ve changed my password I can remember it no worries. I might type the old one a couple of times in different areas by mistake, but by lunchtime the new one will be second nature.

Today? I’ve had to pause and rethink what I decided on at least three times. In fact, I’ve even had to write it down so I can remember it. I’ll get there, for sure, but right now well, my brain is definitely not quite as on-planet as it should be. Hey Ho.

There’s always one big problem with taking long weekends away from work – coming back.

Today, having been away for Friday and Monday I’ve come back to a whole bundle of stuff that either no-one else could be chuffed to do (90% of the stuff) or bits that no-one else here can do. (The other 10%)

Now, bearing in mind I’m supposed to be the techie, I have no problem with the stuff that other people can’t do – that’s where my specialism lies. But the other stuff? That narks me, to be honest. Especially when I’m doing a reduced number of days “because I’m not needed to do the run of the mill stuff”.

Ah well, best get on with it.
