Work and Lychees

Work is going well. I am currently 226.3% of my monthly target which will result in a fairly impressive financial bonus.

Work is still shit though. I hate work.

Achieving my target easily has left me with no motivation for the rest of this month which is probably why I have started this blog.

The office is nice, my desk is tidy, my boss never beats down on me and I get on well with most of my colleagues. So why do I still have an aversion to work? Probably because there are better things to do but unfortunately these things require money.

There is the chance that one of my colleagues might be leaving. This is because her partner cannot get a job and they may have to return home. If she left then I would be very happy. We get on ok but I find her absolutely unbearable. One of her most annoying traits is stomping around the office making a racket so that people know she is there. I might offer her walking lessons before she leaves.

I find her voice very grating and irritating too. The volume level when she opens her mouth disturbs me. She does nothing out of the ordinary in or out of the office and she is pretty average at her job. Why does she need to be the centre of attention? Unloved as a child? Who knows?

I will be glad if she leaves.

On the topic of leaves, I had some lychees for my lunch a while back and after I had finished I put one of the seeds into one of the office managers plant pots (without his knowledge). I had to come clean to him when the seed sprouted into a fledgling lychee tree! My tree now has a strong shoot and three leaves and he lives in his very own pot that I bought from B&Q. Will it ever bear fruit?

I will keep you updated on the trials and tribulations of growing a lychee tree in the sub-tropical climate of Edinburgh!
