These 4 days I get off every other week is just like having a school holiday every other week. Except it's not really a holiday, and I'm not really at school anymore... but it is a considerable amount of time and I absolutely love it!
You see, the hours I get are absolutely perfect! Ok, obviously I end up with less money than I would if I worked full-time and Ok, I work every weekend, serving nonchalent and drunken passers-by with their cigarettes and Percy Pigs, but honestly, I don't need all the money I earn and quite frankly, some of the drunken people can be hilarious! Especially when you need a laugh... However, when that Monday morning rolls around after a full and rather demanding week, the feeling I get is one I cannot match with anything else.
Knowing I have 4 nights to do what I want, with money in the bank to go out and actually do something is a great feeling to have. When I had no work, I could do what I want with the unlimited amount of time I had, but with no money, my options are somewhat limited to watching TV and mooching around on the laptop. That's about it. With money though, the possibilities are endless. Unless you live in Bedford... No. I won't be that harsh because tonight I am off to see that new movie with Chris Rock in it, (whatever that's called), and a couple of nights back I had a delightful curry with the Dude with the Chins. Money rocks ladies and gentlemen, money rocks.
Tomorrow night though I am back to work, and that's alright. I have two cricket matches this weekend, and with the forecast set solidly on "Western Africa", the weather will not disrupt them either. Therefore, I am looking forward to the weekend despite working with the brick wall who unfortunately has not been fired, yet.
One more thing before I leave you once more. I'm sure, by now, you have all heard about the horrific events in Cumbria yesterday and personally I hoped the gunman wouldn't shoot himself so he could rot away in prison forever, but I was reading a report on BBC earlier that described the survivors of the attack, who had serious injuries after being shot in the face, as "comfortable". Now, how many people are "comfortable" after being shot in the face? I'm comfortable sitting here on my bed, typing this and I'm fairly sure you are comfortable sitting on your DFS sofas or your spindly computer chairs, but you haven't been shot in the face. The phrases these people come out with are, sometimes, just ridiculous.
Anyway, enough procrastinating.
