Looking After Number One

I've been fairly selfish lately. Looking after Number One. I'd like to think I'm usually the person who puts others before himself, but lately, this week especially, I've been doing the complete opposite.

A friend of mine asked for advice earlier in the week. She's going through the A2 exam stage and she asked for help and all I could say was, "I'm too tired for this deep stuff!", which, in reflection, was the wrong thing to say. I could have done my best instead of fobbing her off and I apologise gravely! Also, I was supposed to be playing football on Thursday and let me team-mates down by oversleeping and also a same situation with a friend who I had promised a round of golf. That's just this week. Work is very tiring but I think I should think about making promises if I can't carry them out. I'm disappointed in myself.

Other news. Work this week has been distinctly average. Tonight went very quickly, surrounded by another fitting session from The Wall, but it's not worth making a fuss over now. It happens as much as a manager complaining in the morning so I'm used to it. The worst bit is when customers realise what's going on and, if they are drunk, (which on a Friday/Saturday night is more often than not), and they try to help ... bad times. I've given up trying to hint to the management that this is too dangerous at night time and if it happens again and I don't get an adequate answer, I'm going to the authorities. Time up.

Still, cricket tomorrow. For the first time in a few weeks I am looking forward to it a lot later, maybe it's the fact that I have resigned from Saturdays and I am ready to cherish my last couple of Saturday matches before I hand over the reigns. Even if the "Director of Cricket", attempted to "reject my resignation". Ha! That was funny...

Everything is so busy at the moment. So much going on, maybe I can't possibly put everyone else first before myself? I try my best though, and I will carry on doing so. World Cup? What World Cup..?
