Working a full week after 5 months of swanning around in different countries and generally barely having to pick up a pen, 5pm last Friday was one of those moments that couldn't have come round soon enough on this trip! It was made easier by the glass of Sauvignon Blanc I was handed just before 5pm in the office followed by the bottle which I finished when I got home!
Don't get me wrong, I am working with a really nice bunch of girls and we have a real laugh in the office but I think being back in the world of working again may take me a few weeks to get used to! It does help that I can be at my office in less than 5 minutes.
It has also only taken me a week to decide that some people really and truly are UNEMPLOYABLE. I can't go into details I'm afraid because I signed this lovely piece of paper to say that I would not disclose any information about the applicants who apply for jobs with us but let's just say that some CV's and particularly when you scroll down to Criminal History, makes interesting reading! A couple of sleepless nights this week for reasons I won't go into, probably didn't help my sympathy for those who couldn't even manage to spell correctly in their CV. I'm looking forward to next week, I get to do phone screens which I think is going to be even more interesting.
I then decided to really punish myself and do a 10k cycle at the gym yesterday afternoon and was one of 3 people mad enough to be in there on a Saturday! Needs must when you have the ongoing fear of wearing a bridesmaid dress in a year's time! I was going to head out to the Zoo today but the weather kind of changed my mind, maybe next weekend!
I got a bit too domesticated tonight and actually cooked something other than pasta, a ready meal or a dish that takes less than 15 minutes to cook (Mum don't get any ideas - this domestication won't be coming home with me!). I made chicken in a white wine and mushroom sauce from scratch (no jars of Chicken tonight, mainly because I didn't have one in the cupboard!). The only problem came at the stage of adding the white wine, I went to the fridge and Friday night's drinking antics had kind of stolen my key ingredient! So it was chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce instead. The kitchen is still in one piece, so I didn't do that badly.
I won't mention too much about my thoughts on turning 25 next week. I'm brushing it over with the fact this year has definitely been one of the best years of my life and I think I've got a lot to look forward to over the next few months before I return to reality next year.
Right I'm off to watch a classic movie night special, Dirty Dancing. ''Nobody puts Baby in a corner'' It's going to take my mind off the fact that tomorrow is Monday and the working week starts again!
Hope all is good with you all at home.
