2010 Sucks

I woke up on new years day with a sore throat which progressed into a very bad cold which still hasn't gone away. My computer also got a bad virus and kept on telling me the only way to fix it would be to buy some expensive anti-virus software, then sending me off to a porno website. I have been totally lost without the internet. At work I'm still doing two jobs and it has been a nightmare getting there because of the train services and the icy footpaths. It's actually colder inside the office in our little corner of purgatory. Our boss is being a complete prat as usual, and has agreed to take on more work without even consulting those of us who will have to pick up the pieces when it all goes wrong. Our reservations and suggestions have fallen on deaf ears so we are just waiting for the shit to hit the fan when it transpires that all our points were valid. I expect he will find a way to wriggle out of it as usual and come up smelling of roses - or his foul, overpowering aftershave. I have put on half a stone over Christmas and my clothes are bursting at the seams so I am grumpy and starving as the diet started today.

On a lighter note, I built a really cool snow cat on Sunday. His head has fallen off now but for a few hours he was king of the garden.
