Life is good to me.
I want to say that from the start, and I’ll reiterate a little way through, but generally life if very good to me.
If I need something in life, I generally get it. Whatever it is turns up and all works out well - so in that respect I’m extremely lucky.
Some days, however, just suck.
I was out playing poker last night, and ended up with a reasonable profit which is always good. I take a taxi home and get in at around 1am. Watch a DVD for a while knowing I should really be going to sleep, and so wake up today thinking I’ll be a little tired but otherwise okay.
I do wake up a little tired, as expected, but also with a huge sore throat and the makings of a cold - which is extremely annoying as I had a cold just 2 weeks ago and don’t want another one.
So I drag my carcass off to work and have a not-too-bad day there, though the workload is huge and I am only little.
Tomorrow (or should I say, in 8 hours) I am heading off to Prague for a work conference, so a lot of today was spent attempting to get ready for that - and failing quite well at it. My normal workload, and attempting to get a few last minute things sorted, saw me working through to 8:30 tonight, and only that time because I opted to take the rest of the work to my manager’s house to finish over dinner. So after a very quick dinner I sit to finish up some work, and to sign 150 Christmas cards for various clients, I eventually strt my way home just after midnight, finding myself home just after 12:30.
And so I start to get my things ready for my trip tomorrow when I seem to be missing a crucial thing in my travel plans - that is my passport.
Ah feck. Frantic room search results in nothing.
I quickly scan the memory banks to see if I can remember where it may be, and certainly remember it being in my bag this time last week, on the Thursday I think too - so where could it have gone.
I also have hazy recollections of my bag spilling out over the floor of a poker club I frequent and so worry slightly that it may have fallen out there. Luckily these establishments are late night, late morning kind of places and it’s open when I call, so the manager on duty says he’ll have a look for it and give me a call back in 20 minutes.
Being a proactive type of fellow I immediately step to and jump into the nearest taxi so I can go to work and check there, with doubtful hopes of it being there.
I get to work, and find said passport in my jacket pocket. See, I have a winter jacket stored at work from last year, and a normal jacket. I swapped normal jacket on Sunday en-route to poker for winter jacket as it was chilly, and for some reason didn’t fathom my passport was in there.
No call, by the way, from the above mentioned manager who stated he would call me back in 20 minutes.
Another taxi home and I find myself sitting in my room at 2:15 typing this, drinking a lemsip to try and get rid of this cold and still requiring bag packing and the reading of 100 or so long boring pages about things I don’t understand in preparation for tomorrow.
Still, come Friday night I’ll have no work to do and a weekend in Prague ahead of myself. I already know where the casino is in relation to the hotel, and should the weather website be correct, I may get snowed in and not be able to fly back.
As mentioned, all does turn out well in the end, and I am a very lucky person in general.

The best Scorsese fillum since Goodfellas. Entertaining, great performances, bloodiness ensues. Lovely.

Fun to kick back and watch, but the novelty wears off with repeated watching/lack of alcohol.

Absolutely pointless, but sadistically funny. I've seen it twice now and hooted with laughter both times.

Runs on a bit too long, and the ending is rubbish. Great effects, some genuinely funny moments throughout - and if it had been a bit shorter it would have rated higher. Good fun.

I watched this whilst laying in bed; amusing enough for a late night trashy comedy. Elisha is plenty nice to watch regardless of her acting abilities...or lack thereof.

Enjoy Prague. Don’t lose too much money! Preferably make some, actually!
Well, have a good trip. Even if it does end up a little longer than anticipated.
Prague sucked.
The cold I had turned into a nasty bug that left me in my hotel bed for most of the weekend (and not in a good way ;o) - shakes, vomiting, nose bleeds and blurred vision essentially.
Times like those you just want to be in your own bed.
