Sitting here watching the day lighten outside, ruminating about life and its many variables. Actually I have been trying to do this darn assignment that has to be in tomorrow, only another one thousand eight hundred words to go 
Work has been particurlarly manic these past two days, tuesday and noone wanted to actually come to work which made it harder because we are already staff down.
Yesterday and you still would have thought that I was the only member of staff in work, but they only want to speak to you, was the reply I got each time I had to stop what I was doing to take a call.
And the Big man, the ultimate boss, deigned to visit our little department. Which was quite amusing because we discovered that he didnt even know we had a department that dealt with deaths and another that dealt with critical illness, both of which I run, he was quizzing why we needed more staff for the settlement team and to deal with complaints and cancellations. As all these things run in the same department and we had five staff.
It was actually quite amusing, he asked how many ongoing cases there were, so the sort of boss type lady starts reeling off, x amount of full and finals, thats a lot he says, x amount of complaints, great thats hardly any. X amount of cancellations, again hardly any, x amount of deaths, whoa what do you mean deaths? Lynda deals with deaths, she does? Yes and critical illness, oh, what does that involve? So she reeled it off to him. Apparently this has influenced his decisions in other areas, but he is coming back to us about it. In the meantime I have been asked to compose a very sensitive letter to a client on his behalf? Recognition at last, wonder if it will influence the pay rise?
And back to more interesting subjects, except I cant think of any at the moment, what with correlational questions and continuous variables. So must be time to have a shower and repare for the day ahead. No white rabbits today, considering I have been on the computer since half four
Have a great day, whatever you are doing.
