Walking Dead

Ugh, I can’t believe how tired I feel today… and there I was thinking I had a good night sleep.  Didn’t require much effort to actually get up this morning but was still an incredible effort to keep from jumping back into bed during my morning routine of getting ready for work.  Although, this was probably due to having a sexy red-head in it at the time ;) .

In hindsight I should have stayed at home.  With all the snow that has fallen over the last couple days I was so tempted to use it as an excuse not to go into work (which I know a lot of people (would) have done).  The motorways were fairly uncongested and moving freely which was ok, but getting into the town where I work was fairly dangerous.  All the roads were white or icy, everyone moving 10mph… and then I got to the road that leads up the hill to where I work.  One look at that and I thought “Fuck it, I’ll go around and enter through the exit of the estate, at least that’s level.”, but alas, the gates were closed.  So I found the other end of the first road which goes up the hill a little less steeper and went up there.  Wasn’t really a surprise that my Polo GTi started wheel spinning halfway up… too much low-end power.  I managed to break the wheelspin and stop myself on the hill while I figured out how to proceed (am not used to driving in such conditions), I turned on my hazard lights to let the 4×4 behind me know I was having difficulties and let him past incase I slipped backwards into him.  After that I was faced with a hill-start on ice/snow but it wasn’t that bad, just had to be really sensitive on the accelerator.  Anyway, got into work thinking “I should have stayed at home.” and if it wasn’t for the fact I’d probably slide down the hill trying to leave I would have.

So here I am at work and an unrelenting tiredness has overcome me.  There’s only decaffeinated tea left, but I’ve had 2 pro plus but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.  Having extreme difficulty focusing on work and feeling like my eyes want to roll into the back of my head, I needed to somehow keep my mind active through lunch.  So have started playing Singularity and now blogging to keep the myself from slipping into neutral or stalling, heh.

Maybe the reason I’m so freaking tired is because I’m fighting off an illness of somekind, had a pretty bad sore throat yesterday, but has eased up today.  I think I’m gonna take an early night tonight or I’m going to be crippled for badminton tomorrow.

Well, bad to Singularity… laters,
