Lord, today's a struggle. Physically not great but feeling really down & depressed too. too much stuck inside recently, too much of the wife haring round the country in a mad rush.
Home along with Jonathan again tonight :-(

Pretty dull day at work. This tends to happen in the gap between finishing working with some clients and going through the waiting list to pick up new ones. Always involves a bit of sitting around before the caseload is back to full capacity. Unfortunately I am completely unable to enjoy such rare quiet periods (one of the ways my periods of unemployment changed me). Nnnnngh.

Full cup of mint tea all over me, the sofa and the carpet
How wet can one man get from one cup of tea spillage?

Not too bad a start to the week. Fairly productive, managed a resolution I can live with to an issue that had arisen at work and managed to go on to get quite a bit achieved. All told, the sort of day that I can work with.

More issues with landlords and energy companies. The energy company claim it is illegal to have my meters in a locked room that I don't have the key to. Landlord says no. Energy company has a different meter registered to this property anyway. Landlord says last tenant sorted that out. This is getting ridiculous.

Not being a big clothes fan, I usually find 4 pairs of trousers are adequate for my needs. In the last week, 3 of them have fallen apart. This is most vexing. An emergency post-payday dash to the ASDA will be required on Saturday morning.

I tend to find that it is the pockets of my trousers and fleeces that pack up before anything else. Usually because my keys have sawed their way out through seams. For some reason my keys always seem to be trying to make a break for it... but so far the fugitives have always been reapprehended swiftly.

It's usually the knees that go first on mine*, then the pockets. Never had a pair of trousers give up around the crotch, but one pair of work trousers has an expanding parted seam on one thigh that may reveal me like an undernourished Chippendale at any moment.

Go for it! Stuff that RULES, RULES!
Also, my trewsers always go at the bottom of the leg, because I'm a scruffy bugger and walk on them all the time. And my legs are so, so short.

Don't mean to boast, but I've done at least 4 pairs of work uniform pants in at the crotch. It's 'cos I've a very deep squat, you see. When I'm lifting folk off the floor n that. One time I ripped a pair at the crotch from sack to hole, SACK TO HOLE, in one incredible rip, right infront of a load of bystanders, a couple of which were off-duty medical professionals (one infact claimed to be the Head of Surgery at Leeds General Infirmary!) Big thighs, deep squat. Protect your back, folks, protect your back. Let me hear your war cry.

Stopped to help a fellow who was clearly badly disorientated and lying in the middle of a pavement while other people walked round him. Received verbal abuse for doing this from other passing people while I tried to assess his situation and wait for the ambulance. Very sad.

Indeed. Well done for getting involved when others wouldn't.
I'm back on the laptop, since my monitor has apparently finally packed up. It just won't come on. I don't know what's wrong, if it can be fixed or even how to find out or who might know. It's aggravating because it might be something as simple as a dodgy switch.

Just had to deal with a mouse corpse found under some laundry. Ugh. Seems like the poison the council put down is doing the trick, but I wish they'd die elsewhere.

It was lucky the ambulance crew turned up when it did for I was close to getting a beating from a chap who turned up and who was trying to drag the ill man along the pavement and did not like that I was trying to stop him as it was: "A fucking waste of money phoning for an ambulance, you fucking cunt/bastard, etc.". He briefly followed me afterwards shouting lots of abuse at me so I ran across the road to make my escape.
All I was trying to do was phone 999 and wait with the casualty until help arrived. I had no idea that would upset people so much.
