Thursdays...

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I hate Thursdays. If anything bad was going to happen, it'd happen on a Thursday and this week is no exception to the rule. It started by not having anything to drink, all day! Mum forgot to pack me a drink this morning, but that doesn't happen often! Then the vending machine decided it didn't take £1 coins... Other than that, work wasn't all bad...

I had my first training victim volunteer today, and it was quite successful (and will hopefully lessen my workload in the next couple of weeks!) I was quite surprised how easy I found it to train someone, and how good people find my notes. I'm glad! So the day started off well. Then I was given over 200 forms for individual retirements and whatnot. I like to get the day's urgent stuff done at least, but not when there's that much! Luckily I have help, but the panic still wants to set in... Not only that, but my phone decided to overheat in my pocket and sent itself into a reboot loop, meaning I had to take the battery out and leave it on my desk in front of the fan to cool down... Moments that make me wish I'd stuck with an iPhone...

So anyway, having not had a drink for over 5 hours and having to train someone and getting loads of work to do AND my phone messing about, Thursday was getting a bit annoying. I get home to find a letter from the Tribunal Service, information about my disability living allowance claim. Unanimously, they decided that I only need the lowest tier of care, again. How rubbish is that? When I reapply for it next year, I can use all the new information I've gained to hopefully get a bit more. I'll talk to my GP about getting a "blue badge" for parking close to shops and things, because it'd be useful.

Right now, I'm eating Lady Claire hand cooked potato chips, they're nice but still don't quite cover the disappointment that has been today. I dare not touch the PS3 today, as no doubt, something will go wrong... I might pick up where I left Tales of Vesperia on the xbox though (seeing as Dad has about 7 repaired xboxes left and soon to have a new one on preorder, we have spares if I break mine... Or Dad could always fix it!) Also, a game has come out for the iPad that I've been desperately waiting for, but it's come out at ten times the price of the iPhone version (59p for the iPhone one, £5.99 for the iPad version) It's a joke how some companies take advantage...

On a positive note though, Thursday is nearly finished and Friday should be a lot better. Less of the dehydration for a start and hopefully no more bad news from benefit people... I'm going to write my letter tonight, as I have two lovely boxes of chocolates, but I still have no idea what to say. Maybe just a huge "OMG THANKS!! CAN HAS CHOCCIES :3" will do? But I want to put across how grateful I am and how inspired I feel reading his letter.

I can't wait for the weekend... Why can't it always be the weekend?
