Go Hard or Go Home

Wondering Wednesday's Words

Hello my lovely Wednesdayer's,

So I'm shattered...It's been a rough one today. We've been 5 members of staff down and had almost 4,500 samples over the day. Thanks to the cuts to the NHS budget and cascading on down the cuts to our department we had NO staff able to co
ver for the bout of sickness. We also have NO budget for overtime. I have been pushed hard. to the point where I forgot to drink water all day XP.

I've had what nearly everyone in the lab agreed was the worst day in a long long long time and I still love my job! I think I can feel a little bit of relief knowing that on a really bad day my new job is not half as bad as a mediocre day at my last one :) 

I'm noticing my general stamina is increasing these days. I took it on myself to walk the three miles to work each day. Whilst there has been the odd day where I have, for what ever reason, stooped to use the bus, I can now make the journey into work and not feel like I'm going to pass out!

To be honest I have some brilliant incentives to walk it in. For a start the health benefits which I'm sure my doctor wouldn't complain about. Secondly it gives me an hour each day where I can think without having to focus on anything else, I'm now at the stage where I can autopilot my way there, leaving my conscious mind free to file, sort, revisit and delete the thoughts I need to whilst, my unconscious mind does the general "left leg up, left leg down, right leg up, right leg down" humdrum thoughts.

All the leaves are brown...

But the sky wasn't grey...

Thirdly the walk is very pleasant, there are no horrible hills or massive amounts of steps. Lastly the walk is very pleasant lol. This time I mean the surroundings are at some points pretty beautiful and make me glad to be alive. I took some pictures the other day as the sun through the leaves was just really striking. I get to look at that

nearly every day and I am grateful for it.

I've got a pretty bad headache at the moment, thanks to dehydration. I shall be wrapping up pretty soon but I guess I should say that I still hold out hope the others will join me again on here. I realise that the are too bus right now but even a few lines of each of us would be a great way of keep up on all the big news. 

our ever humble blogger,
