Well there's a lot of sense in the old saying "don't count your chickens." There was I thinking that I had done my last night and would be back on days until my hols when...... That's right, you guessed it.... I got into work last night to find that the sister on nights this week has phoned in sick and a replacement needed to be found. There are 2 of us that can replace her but we both have leave to get in. Subsequently I am working tomorrow and wednesday night and another colleague is doing the back end of the week. The disadvantages to this are that I am only off for 1 night and Sparky was supposed to be coming round on Wednesday, I've hardly seen him with him being in Poland then me being on nights. I have tried to find an advantage in that I only have to work 2 nights, the rest of the week will be leave and taking back time that they owe me for doing some extra hours. Another advantage is that I have friday night off as we have tickets to a play. With the extra time off I may be able to get some of my assignment done, but don't hold your breath. I will probably end up doing my usual trick of reading a bit of the research, thinking about it for a while, not deciding how I'm going to write it down therefore sacking it and dossing on Accyweb for a while. This is followed by several weeks of panic and self imposed guilt trips for being such a pathetic student then I knuckle down and submit it exactly on the deadline.... I wonder why there isn't a smiley for p***ed off in the mood box for this blog. It certainly needs one.
Spoke too soon.....
