Couldn't get going today
« on: September 07, 2006, 05:53:31 pm »
Only had a few to do today but just couldn't get my donkey boy in gear to get them done.
First 6 were all next to each other and should have taken me 20 mins per house so 2 hours for the lot, where infact the first one took me 40mins :o :o
2nd one a bit quicker 30 mins 3rd one well by this time i had been chatting and was handed a nice cuppa tea there was no going back, i now wanted to go home and put me feet up.

Although picked another new one up today but managed to do this in 40 mins 1st clean and 18 windows??? twice the size of first 6 that i did???

Who knows what i was on today


Probably the first time i have had it this bad and dunno why?
Self motivation used to be one of my strengths when i had a "job" but its all gone wrong now.

Anyone else have it today??

I've been off this week with stretched ligaments in the ankle - I'm itching to get back out there whereas last week I couldn't motivate myself either - try spraining your ankle or something and havig to lie in the house for a week - that'll get you raring to go again!

We all have days like that Mr D. Sometimes I look at my work diary and think, " Oh god not today" and other times I think " i'm gonna rip it round today and get home asap.

It beats bosses and conference calls ( and Jo Adcock!!)

cheers mate - I'll be fine, its to be expected anyway, I snowboard (indoor - Glasgow) every month and play football 3 nights a week so something was bound to happen sooner or later.  Ta for the sentiments

Funny enough I was in Watford today and couldn't get started. Eventually got going at about 1 30pm after megabrunch at Asdas. Worked until 7 though but it was tough going even though it was a beautiful day.

It just goes like that sometimes.

Watford seems to be the key to all this malaise and lethargy - perhaps it's because it sits directly on a ley line between Glastonbury and Norwich. ;D
It's a game of three halves!
