Back to Real Life, the old 9-5 (in this case 8:30-5)

Well after a month away from work, reality is cruel. How quickly one gets used to waking at 10am, and how jarring it is to then reset your body clock to 7. So confused is my poor internal clock that I have jolted awake an hour before my alarm every morning. I think Keith’s morning paranoia has, by osmosis, seeped into my subconscious as well, because I think it is largely to do with not trusting that my alarm clock will ring, because it is a new alarm clock. It hasn’t earned my trust yet. I am wiped out after a 4 day work week!

Some highlights so far:

free lunch! the grateful ones out of us would say, what a nice company. the jaded ones would say, what a way to keep you working at your desk throughout your lunch hour. To you jaded ones, I say, it did not stop me from walking to the mall to exchange a top at H&M today after I devoured my chicken wrap.

After 3 years of enduring the Sky canteen, which got pricier and pricier as time went by, which started turning microwavable pasties and sausage rolls into meal options, and served up watermelon and feta as a "prepared salad" choice, this is a wonder. Let's compare my previous paid food options to this week's free lunch menu

At Sky
- above described canteen
- The Coach and Horses, a 10-15 minute walk to the closest pub serving food, which someone saw a mouse in once
- Cafe Society, which cannot even be bothered to melt some cheese on a jacket potato. How can you eat your jacket potato with solid cheese? quel the f***?

Well there goes the diet. I am going to try to be good and get lots of salad and just a bite of the nice mains. Works for the days that there are salads (i.e. this week, not Weds, and not Friday). Did pretty well on Thursday:

 I will of course only ever put up pictures when i do well.
