My Morning So Far...

Here's a run-down of this morning's proceedings:

• Running to the station and then finding I needn’t have bothered because the train was running late anyway.
• Standing in the drizzle because I couldn’t be bothered to open my umbrella.
• Meeting my old school friend and having a nice chat on the way to work.
• Seeing a dude at the bus stop with one completely white eyeball, so that he looked like some incredibly cool kind of cyborg (I tried not to stare, but I was kind of in awe).
• Getting barged by an old lady while covertly sneeking a peek at cyborg man.
• Getting a bus straight away so I didn’t have to wait in the rain.
• Listening to Happiness by Dead Prez on the bus and pretending for a second it was still summer.
• Drifting off a little and getting consumed by my thoughts.
• Getting stared at by a truck driver as the bus went past (serves me right for staring at cyborg man).
• Listening to Eclipse by Robyn and feeling a little bit sad.
• Shuffle then throwing up Young Hearts Run Free straight afterwards and making me feel disco-tastic!
• Me rushing into work but stopping to get toast on the way.
• Me arriving into the office with an extremely attractive sweaty glow as I fought the disgusting humidity.
• Me trying to cool down but not being too successful.
• Me having to go to the toilets to try and cool down and being slightly more successful.
• Getting chastised in the nicest possible way on the way back from the loos by Boss Lady, who informed me I am meant to be in at 9.30 every day this week and next (oops, ok, missed that memo).
• Feeling guilty because I know my motivation in this job has dwindled dramatically over the past 3 months.
• Resolving to get up early from now on and maybe even make it to the gym one day soon...
• Laughing at how my morning ambitions are never quite fulfilled in my actions.
• Eating my toast and jam and drinking some tea, before speaking to a couple of students and sending a few emails.
• Trying to think up a plan B since I found out the other internal position I had my eye on is only for 10 months’ maternity cover.
• Counting down the hours till hometime when it’s not even close to lunchtime yet...

*Sigh*
