No Rest For The Wicked

Despite preliminarily booking Friday off work, I've had to go in today since we've got some new websites that have to be built, as usual, ASAP. So whilst my boss has been busy doing them, the usual amount of maintenance work on the existing ones has reached somewhat of a backlog... so I have to plough my way through 2 weeks worth of the stuff just to get everyone back on track.

The mountains of work make the day go quick enough, but then I did start an hour later than normal what with the traveling of yesterday I just couldn't face a 9 am start. It seems we've got 2 new starters at work again - an usual duo of whom I don't even know their names. A couple of missing faces too, and so I can only assume that the new bods are here to replace those that have left for whatever reason.

Phil is at home today though, but left with a rather grim task of rejuvenating the fish tank. Last year when we went away we had no problems with it, but this year something has gone horribly wrong... all but 4 of the fish have died and the tank to be honest looks like some kind of morbid fish soup. One of the causalities was Oscar, Phils pride and joy - a rather large red tailed shark who had quite a lot of personality for a fish. But by the time I get home the tank looks a little better, with the dead fish removed and a 3/4 water change, but we are going to have to replenish the stocks at some point.

The remainder of the evening is taken up with getting takeout pizza and watching a little TV, but it's another relatively early night spent trying to catch up with some sleep that traveling and a loss of 2 hours has robbed us of.
