Monday mornings. Totally the worst day of the week in that there's the most amount of work to get through until we reach then next weekend. But then I guess you already knew that!
Whilst at work a typical Monday involves...
- Visiting the National Lottery web site and buying a ticket.
- Getting a coffee.
- Rifling through emails - reading interesting ones from friends - flagging work ones that look like I might have to do something to be read later. Much later.
- Going through post - this is mainly made up of junk mail that bears no relationship whatsoever with my life. I think a cockroach must have bunged up the works at the junk mail factory and got me mixed up with someone who is an epidemiologist. As well as the epidemiology seminars in Leicester I'm invited to (they must think I'm so rude, never going), I'm always being bribed by pharmacutical companies to use their products in my work. I'm a web designer, I only need the occassional Nurofen and line of cocaine. I'd get my name taken off the list, only I sometimes get cool mugs or pens from them - and I'm due for a calendar soon, so I can put up with it I guess.
- Having another coffee.
- Checking my gmail account - if you ever want a long and meaningful email reply from me, send me something first thing on a Monday morning.
- Updating blog! This is good as it looks like you're busy working on some sort of important work related documentation. Stroke chin and cast eyes to ceiling tiles now and again, that always looks impressive.
- Saying a little prayer that no one from work reads your blog.
- Another coffee.
- You know I was joking about the cocaine, right?
I've pushed it as far as I can. Monday morning is ediging ever closer to Monday afternoon. I can cope with that. Let me open up Photoshop and begin...
Sounds like we have the same job :)
