I’m so……

I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink
I’m so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I’m so tired I don’t know what to do
I’m so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you’d do

You’d say I’m putting you on
But it’s no joke, it’s doing me harm
You know I can’t sleep, I can’t stop my brain
You know it’s three weeks, I’m going insane
You know I’d give you everything I’ve got
for a little peace of mind

I’m so tired, I’m feeling so upset
Although I’m so tired I’ll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git.

You’d say I’m putting you on
But it’s no joke, it’s doing me harm
You know I can’t sleep, I can’t stop my brain
You know it’s three weeks, I’m going insane
You know I’d give you everything I’ve got
for a little peace of mind

Patience – more than a card game

This week I received some great advice from a senior work colleague – be patient, but don’t be patient forever. Very kindly, he essentially said if I wanted him to look for another appointment for me (one that would enable me to put my learnings and experiences of the last 12 months to better use) he would be happy to use his connections to do so. Really nice of him really, and it’s great to have tha sort of support in my corner. I told him I was happy to be patient for another two to three months, but would get back to him then if such a role had not surfaced at my present workplace by then. Intriguing, and heartwarming really.

Yesterday, despite a really shocking headache that started around 3am and didn’t quit until about 6.30pm, I made a really successful presentation to an important group of colleagues about a new initiative that should be one of our big successes in the next financial year. Fun!

Looking forward to catching up with the Eagle (AKA Nicki) on the weekend. Should be fun. Meanwhile, we’ve all still got Friday to get through.

Cheerio!
