  • One of those days

    Another fantastic friday night in, I am becoming a recluse I swear!

    It should have been a pretty laid back day at work, there being hardly any phone calls to deal with should have meant being able to get on with my work, catching up on things that needing doing, which I have been unable to get to because of constantly being on the phone.

    Except one of our creditors decided they were going to give loads of people huge discounts on thier debts so they could be settled, Aww, wasn't that nice. Well it would have been, but, this creditor decided instead of writing to the account holders, they would send us a list of reference numbers and allow us to inform the clients.

    So I spent today sending out letters to clients on behalf of this creditor, all 270 of them!!! Luckily once I composed a basic letter all I had to do was place name address and reference number on, then save it to client file, print it off, place comment on clients accouunt, and so on.

    At one point this afternoon there were three of us doing it, and we did manage to get them all done before we finished and I still had time to do some other bits. Luckily I had done two of the most important things this morning before I started on the 'big job'

    Time to relax now and watch a bit of TV or something.

  • This is me, I am who I am

    Today is Good Friday, to me every Friday is good because it means tomorrow is Saturday and that means it is the weekend.

    However, I have always failed to see the reason behind them calling this day 'Good' Friday, and I have had all the people telling me that it is called this for various reasons, because it is when mankind was blessed and loads of other stuff along the same lines.

    I still fail to see how crucifying someone who was supposed to be the 'son' of the one they worshipped, and who was inherently good, if nothing else, could be classed as Good and celebrated as such?

    The other thing that baffles me, why is Easter on different dates every year? The day of his birth is the same every year ( Though wrong by about four months?) yet they cant seem to decide which day he died on? Oh look lets have it in March this year, no lets have it in April, Mothers day is in March, it is mind boggling 8|

    I get the Egg thing, it being a sign of rebirth, but what does it have to do with chocolate? Other than making the chocolate giants a wad of money that is. I know that I am a bit of a cynic, but honestly to me it just seems that Easter is no longer about the death and rebirth of this man, it is more about how many eggs you can purchase/recieve, or how many presents you can recieve.

    I did the present thing with my children when they were young, but that was because I was against all this chocolate eating, so I bought them one or two eggs and a present, others bought them eggs. And now everyone is doing it, it is becoming like a mini Christmas!

    I know that there are religious people out there who might take offence at what I write, that is of course your perogative, it is not intended to be offensive, it is what I think, I did the Religion thing, when I was a child I had no choice.

    When I was an Adult I looked at all the religions, and I still dont follow one, I believe what I believe and I dont need to go to Church or be told how I should think or feel, to do so.

    Now, I have to tell you that I only generally eat Dark Chocolate and Black Magic and Terrys All Gold Dark will suffice ;)
