Woke up this morning a little bit hazy, but I was determined to wake up and get a good start on the day. Mostly because I couldn't use being sleepy as an excuse, as due to daylight savings I've just had an extra hour to sleep in. So I got up and made myself a coffee, and while I waited for it to cool I had a shower and got dressed. Mum has the early shift this week so she was also fluttering about while I was getting ready for work. Before I left for the bus stop I quickly checked my ticket to make sure that it was still valid for today - which it was - and trotted off to the bus stop.
If you don't catch the bus on a regular basis, then maybe some of you may not understand this so I'll try and explain it to you as best as I can. While you are walking/running/skipping to the bus stop and there is no one around you, you make sure you walk as quickly paced as you can to make sure that you are on time and not miss the bus. If you ever see someone either walking ahead of you to catch the bus or you notice within the distance that someone is already waiting at the bus stop, then you slow your pace down to a steady pace. Of course this can backfire at the best of times when both you and the person ahead of you are both late, and you notice the bus within the distance approaching, to which you then both act like total morons competing for the 100 meter sprint and run towards an oncoming bus! Which is what happened this morning, while the grass was still wet from the dew. Thankfully either one of us didn't make further fools of ourselves by slipping over or any other horrid incidents that could happen along the way.
Once I met up with Rocio at the train station, I was surprised to notice that the station was packed one again and I wasn't sure if it was because a large group of people decided that they wanted to embrace Monday morning and go to work, or they were going back home after a heavy night drinking. I couldn't smell any alcohol.
Once I got into work I was assigned a new desk, as my usual desk had a new person sitting in it and the current desk had no PC. So I went to another desk until they could manage to locate one for me, which they did after about half an hour. I also received a couple of cupcakes from one of the girls in the previous team that I had helped out as a thank you for assisting her with the tough accounts for a few weeks. Also Gloria arrived back, and we both embraced and somewhat dreaded how many invoices which we would see when we sat down in did out work. I had over 300 and Gloria had over 400.
The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly, I was trying not to stress too much about the amount of work which I had to do and only did what I could do without over doing it. I kept joking about with the other team how I had now moved up to the position of Manager as I was now sitting in the manager seat, and that I've come across along way from sitting in the assistant manager seat for three weeks!
For lunch, Gloria and I just sat down and caught up with what has been happening for the past fortnight. Especially with her now being a Mrs! She's moved into her new room, and also told me that her grandmother gave her a surprise arrival the day before her wedding. She though she was going with the family to pick up someone else, when they got out as well as her grandmother!
It wasn't long before it was home time once again, and that Monday was over for another week. Only downside with going home now that daylight savings is over, is that it is pitch black dark once I get home! I also forgotten my keys and had to wait outside for either Frank or mum to arrive from work before I could get myself inside the house.
Now I'm about to sit down and watch an episode of Game of Thrones!
