Happy Birthday to me!!

Greetings fellow bloggers, a short one from me today as I've not got much time before I'm out, and won't have any time when I get back in, but thats neither here nor there, or anywhere for that matter...

....anyway on with the blog!



Last week at work was a small amount of hell as there was so much work in, plus the fact that we had to train 4 people up on the work they were doing, plus deal with every enquiry under the sun, didn't help, so it was a blessed relief to get to friday, on which day I brough in some cakes and goodies to celebrate my birthday on the sunday.



Now, for those of you who either pay attention, or who know me (or who knows, both!), you'll all know that I was 26 on the 23rd. Now, when I emailed everyone in the office to let them know what the cakes were in aid of, I had alot of emails back sending good wishes etc and asking how old i was etc, to which the obvious answer was, of course, 26....



.....in the morning, that is...



..for some reason, in the afternoon, because i had said '26' so many times to so many people, i suddenly aged one whole year and became 27, swiftly correcting myself and looking just about as silly as i normally do to everyone who knows me!



Anyway, on with the birthday, and on friday night, some of the guys from the pub came to solihull to help me drown my sorrows about being ancient. We all had a good bop, and I even got lucky at the bar...no not in that way!



I went to the bar to get a couple of drinks for me, and gave the woman £10 to pay for £7 worth of drinks. Now, with me so far, 10 minus 7, ok? I came away from the bar with £12! Marvellous!



My birthday was spent at the villa, where a 2.0 victory was a nice present over everton, and on the evening we went out for a meal at the fieldhouse, which was lovely.



Right, on with this week, and Monday was my 4 month review, which was pretty identical to my first review in that my boss kept apologising for me being in the wrong job, and then apologised for the shoddy excuse for not getting the job i went for a while ago, then told me that the powers-that-be want me to apply for positions directly working on cases and being all solicitor-like, which was nice!


Anyway that brings me onto tomorrow, because tomorrow is OPERATION DAY 2: THE SECOND OPERATION!, which i've not given much thought to, as i've been there, done that before, the only worry for me is what happens afterwards, as they are going to tell me what needs to be done to correct the problem, which at the moment all points to a very nasty sounding operation, involving a nice big scar somewhere painful, and a complete reconstruction of a vital part of my anatomy...

..I think you get the general idea!

So I shall leave you with that happy thought and blog over the weekend, if you are a religious person, pray to your gods now!!!!
