f4f3And the train again...
Much more relaxed this morning, solely due to leaving 5 minutes earlier. I had time to stop at Boots and buy juice and a sandwich, so I'm not running on empty. That gave me the brainpower to do some writing this morning on the train. I'll still stop at the new Costa to pick up a flat white. I noticed a huge difference in my energy levels yesterday morning, so I'm prepared to accept that caffeine in the morning is a good thing.
I seem to be struggling a bit with a cold. Sore throat for most of the last week, runny nose, a bit of a chesty cough. The answer is simple - more sleep, plenty of fluids, no shouting at idiot colleagues. That's not wholly fair, but I was left looking a bit silly at a client meeting last night because of the quality of some of the stuff I showed them. My fault, really, for circulating something that came in at one minute to four, instead of holding it back. In the end, the outcome wasn't too bad. The reaction was mitigated from "Not worth the paper it's written on" to "Not a million miles from what we're looking for" but it took some pretty hard pedalling to get there.
This morning I'll mostly be working out how to get the last few miles to something that's useful to us all. And not shouting at anyone.
In the words of "50 Rules For Evil Overlords", "No matter how tempting it may be, do not turn into a giant snake. It never helps."
