been really busy this week, what with the bank holiday robbing us of usefull work time! as usual the phone started ringing tuesday morning, mainly folk who had been at home for a long weekend and had discovered/realised loads of annoying wee shitey jobs that need doing. not complaining about the work, but the ringing phone meant i didn't get any actual work done until tuesday pm meaning this week ended up being 3 1/2 long days... didn't get my dinner until after 9pm wed/thur/fri which is just a wee bit too late...
