Today i left work at ten am. i wasn't feeling so hot. (so basically i trecked it all the way to my work, leaving my house and hour and ten minutes before i started to get there, just to leave an hour later. (i only live about fifteen minutes away from my work except that i have to get public transport) so anyway..).. I'm really glad i did. As much as i could have "soldiered on" i didn't have any work on my desk and i am a very reliable worker so i decided what the hell. especially as the other secretary took a sicky last week with exactly the same ailments as me. and today was such a beautiful august (haha we're not quite there yet) i mean july day. the sun was shinning and the sky was bright. i estimate (using my extensive experience as a human thermomitor) that it was about 23 or 24 degrees. even the flowers were out in all their vibrancy. so i took my pillows and my book (although i only got through a few pages) and had a sleep on the trampoline in the sun. the birds were chirping ceaselessly. it was a really beautiful day. and it's given me hope that the end of winter is near and if i hold out just that bit longer ill be rewarded with the intense heat of day and balmy nights that only a country that is almost all desert can trully have. i love australia. and i love summer. and i'm seriously considering not going to work tomorrow either. the only question is whether i can survive the weekend on the remaining monies in my bank account until i pick up my cheque on monday.
