Yuck. They say that the feeling you have on Monday is actually a placebo, or a self-induced misery - as research has shown that the ‘Monday-morning’ feeling appears on pretty much any day provided it’s your first day at work of the week.

Well, I certainly had my Monday! Still haven’t received anything from my insurance agency yet so I’m going to call them tomorrow - again. I did however got the information for a legal-insurance from that same agency - which I asked for last Wednesday. Weird how fast they move when they can make money, but slow when they have to push it out.

In other news, tomorrow is garbage collection day again here and again none of my fellow inhabitants have made any effort in making sure it will be picked up tomorrow. Hell, some garbage-bags are still in the hallway. Eck!

I was kind enough to, again, empty the bin in the bathroom and toilet… I also noticed that the downstairs toilet was a huge mess, again. Seriously people, at least TRY to keep it tidy? Hell, I’d appreciate it if you just flushed!

*sigh*

Tired is what I am. I guess I’ll take 2 days off soon and relax a bit. Been a while since I done that. Ever since the burglary I haven’t really done so. Whatever. Haven’t had the time for it, I have been far too busy playing catch-up with my life - things that were way overdue.

Sometimes it all feels like quick-sand. They more you struggle and fight, the deeper you get. Nothing you do seems to help.

At work I opted for a new item to be introduced - a ticket-system. It should ensure that we all know what we are up-to, how much time was spent on it, and that things get done (in an orderly, controlled and planned fashion) I never would have figured it, but I have become a creature of habit - a near control-freak in regards to planning.

I just hate it when things pop up - without notice. Or when things fail. Of course, failure of software/hardware is always inevitable. But it bugs me when there is no backup-plan, DRP or even a document detailing what it did / was meant to do. Sure, I can document it all myself but there is very little point in documentation when everyone keeps changing it without notice or even reporting it. Hence the ticket-system. I love them  Hell, at my previous place of work I helped (with implementation, training, reporting and/or changing) with 4 independent ticket-systems. And ALL of them contributed towards a more professional environment.

Now I know some might say that ticket-systems are only for those larger enterprises and corporations, but think again. As soon as more then one person does the work - it starts to make sense. Especially when some of the work is requested by or done on the behalf of a 3rd party. Ugh, I sound like an advertisement.

I guess I’ll go have a cup of coffee and chill out for a bit. Take care all!
