Skiving!

Right now, I should be ploughing my way through the mountain of post on my desk that seems to have piled up over the last couple of weeks that I have been held captive in training sessions.
I seriously think my head may explode from all the lessons on roofing, plastering, wet & dry rot (now there's a topic)....eurgh.

If I wanted to be a tradesman, I would have studied a trade. I dont want to know this stuff - I wanted to settle down into an office job, work 9-5 at my desk doing organisey, officey things, and then hot foot it on to The Club/The Pub to earn the extra pennies.
Instead I've managed to spend two and a half years in an office job that has now promoted me into dealing with public liability property damage claims, which requires me to learn all about the things I didnt want to know about! ha ha!!

Funny old world eh? I think thats how things work round here.
I took on the extra shifts outside of my main work, so that I can earn spending monies that I could put towards a new laptop, pay off old debt, and spend all my free time writing.
Unfortunately, taking on all the extra shifts means I have absolutely NO time for all the writing I really would rather be doing! Eep!

What is the world coming too when you even have to blog at work, in secret, when you should be concentrating - because you know that when you leave here at half 5, you have to speed down the motorway to The Pub before work starts again at 6 - and by the time you finish at midnight, your brain is fired up for writing but your body has given up the ghost.

I am still a little gnarked that I had to let go of NaNo this year. Can you tell?
