Whilst it's not an ideal time to awaken, I can recommend driving around at half 4 in the morning. Zero traffic and saw an excellent sunrise. TAKE THAT, VAMPIRES! I have also done many many things today. But if I start listing I won't be able to stop. However I will mention a new PB at Hoblingwell bastard #ParkRun. Lovely bunch of people and frankly a very pretty run but it is SO HARD. And this morning whilst the temperature reckoned early 20s, it is a LIAR and it was at least several billion degrees. Fortunately I am getting better at slowing my pace down, which conversely means my time is getting ever closer to breaking the hallowed 30 minute barrier. Like a very slow sonic boom. Slownic boom? No that's rubbish. And so I now have 3 minutes to sit down. I have literally read no news for weeks. I think it might be incredibly good for me? I certainly don't feel like I've missed out, despite some obvious major news stories. The world turns ever thus and I appear to be happier and more at peace. Work is going tremendously. I won't bore you, but I think I'm happy and enjoying it. Good team. We took everyone out to lunch yesterday and we all went to the pub for a couple of hours and sunbathed and had a beer. Then went back to the office and did a bit of work then had a quiz which I WON, clearly irritating the other manager there who's usually the clear winner. I think I'm cultivating a nemesis, but I will win her over with my goddamned CHARM! I think she's just waiting to see if I plan to usurp her or something but I have no interest in her crown. I am quite literally just happy to be there. Thank you for the opportunity, Lord Sugar. They then tried to test me with a question that apparently is a RIDDLE (it's not a riddle) that no one has ever before answered correctly. Little do they know I am DEEPLY WEIRD and find the concept of terminal velocity fascinating, so when asked how high up you'd have to drop an ant to kill it (bit of a weird question imo) I reasoned that it would reach terminal velocity almost immediately and so it wouldn't matter and because of their exoskeleton you'd be unlikely to plummet it to its death no matter how high up you went. A hushed silence fell upon the office. Behold! Marvel at his great intelligence. Probably didn't help that I also pointed out that whilst they probably wanted the answer to what is the biggest desert to be the Sahara it would be wrong and is actually Antarctica. IN YOUR STUPID FACE, INTERNET QUIZ QUESTIONS! I AM THE KING! I AM THE KING! Oh that's probably what's annoying her come to think of it. I'm also managing an older chap who is a total grump meister, but he's not to know this and his whole vibe is very appealing to me and I love his aserbic sense of humour so I told him yesterday I've been looking at team building to do with him, which landed badly until I said there's a whisky festival later in the year and if we can get a client or two to come with us we can claim it on expenses, get out of the office for the day, go and get pissed and drink some fine whiskies for free. Which he has grudgingly admitted isn't a terrible idea. Huzzah! This is the longest post of all time. Whatever your plans are for today, DRINK SOME WATER OR YOU WILL DIE! I love you goodbye forever.

ANTS RULE! Suck it, gravity.
