History Matters
Wednesday, 18. October 2006, 10:22:41
For the History Matters Campaign, which wants everyone to write a short diary of life on the 17th of October.
Here goes:
I woke up at around 7:45am which is rather late seeing as I have to be at work by 8:30am. No breakfast, quick wash, threw on my shirt & tie & jumped straight ni the car for the twenty minute drive to work, arriving just in time. I'm supposed to work in the IT department at a medium sized window manufacturing firm. I say 'supposed to' because I spend most of my time firefighting for other departments that I used to work in. I spend most of the morning sorting out the day's production planning. Throughout the day I fielded phonecalls for the R&D/technical drawing department as all the staff for that office were off sick. During my lunch break I catch up on the Rec.Juggling usenet group & read a few articles on the BBC news & Harpers.org websites. In the afternoon I finally get to sit at my own desk & continue work on a way to design & electronically order bespoke glass designs. I knock off work at just gone 5:30pm, have a very nice braising steak dinner & a cup of tea before heading off to Tunbridge Wells Juggling Club. It was a well attended meeting with just over 20 people. I worked on handstands, 3, 4, 5 & 6 clubs, some pssing patterns & a little fire juggling. Afterwards almost all of the adult attendees walked to the pub for a few drinks & board games. Then I drove home & went to bed at around 11.30pm.
Riveting?
