  Monday morning......can anything be worse than that feeling when you wake up and wonder what day it is, only to realise it's Monday ? To make matters worse when I opened the curtains, instead of being sunny, it was dull and grey! The combination of grey sky and Monday is not the best way to motivate you to get up. Anyway I dragged myself out of bed and somehow managed to get out of the house and to work in time.
Mondays are bad enough, but this Monday was worse than usual. As I'd been working all weekend (we have to work one in every three weekends) it felt as if my life had consisted of work and sleep for as long as I could remember. Luckily I have a day off on Wednesday so I have the chance of a rest and hopefully get to finally see urlLink Spider-man 2 . Despite the fact that the sky was threatening rain, thankfully it stayed dry until I was safe in the office. Then the weather seemed to go crazy and what I can only describe as a miniature monsoon started! Strong wind and rain for a 2 hours non-stop lead to the car park nearly flooding and a stream of soaking people coming into work. I sat smugly by as I looked out of my window at the smokers desperately trying not to get wet as they huddled outside the building.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll stop raining before I finish work tonight. The only time I ever enjoy the rain is when I'm at home, have no reason to go out and I can just stare out of the window. It's very relaxing to watch but only if you aren't caught in it! Garfield describes how i felt this morning quite well:
