Happy-ish birthday to me

As of lunchtime today I am now officially one year closer to retirement than I was this time last year. I suppose this is a good thing. On the other hand, it also means I’ve spent another whole year in the same dead-end job with no light at the end of the tunnel. Miserable bugger, aren’t I?

My birthday will be spent in a similar fashion to the last few – on site with a customer after an early start and likely with a late finish. Alright, so I’m a misery-guts but I really just don’t see what the fuss is about. I’m a year older. I’ve not achieved anything, I’ve just got here. Save the congratulations and stuff for when/if I finally get my flipping degree!

For those interested, I’m 31. So I’m either a doddery old ******, or a young bastard who should know better depending on your perspective. “**** you” if I’m the former, “Yah boo sucks” if I’m the former.

As my present to you, I’ll post the Rios toilet cleaning story. Today. I promise. Although given the schedule I’m on on site, it’ll likely go up at the same time as this post anyway!

Oh, and a big “THANK YOU” to Sharon for her present. She knows I don’t like the fuss, but I have to say it’s fantastic. Photos will be published once I get home.
