A Day Off

I took the day off work today - I had to have a gas safety and maintenance inspection done, which of course they don't do after working hours, so since I had to take at least half a day off work for that I figured I might as well just take the whole day off.

It was really nice - I think I need a holiday, actually. The only time I've had off during the last 6 or 7 months was when I moved to London and was looking for a job; when I moved to Wimbledon; and a day or two when I was off sick and spent the entire day asleep. So it was nice to have a day off - the weekend doesn't count - to do whatever I liked (provided I didn't actually leave the house, since I had to wait for the inspection guy).

So I spent most of the day on the net, and watching TV. I got some things sorted that I've been meaning to do for ages (like organising my photos), and got to watch some mildly amusing tv shows that I don't normally get to see. And I got to chat to some of my friends via msn/googletalk, which I don't normally get to do since I'm not allowed to use instant messaging at work :-(

Admittedly, I'm starting get a little bit bored and feeling a little bit disconnected from the world by now (especially since there isn't anything to watch on tv any more, and no-one's online to chat to), but it was a nice peaceful day. Of course, now I don't feel like going to work tomorrow...
