When everything blows up in your face

I had a bad day today, a really bad day.

I've messed up a few things at work, made a couple of social faux pas... it's just been a little shit all round.

So tonight I decided to skip the gym, come home and crack into a bottle of birthday wine.

A friend came over and we shared the bottle, had chat, watched some videos, messed around with Google Wave (oh yes, I got a Google Wave invite which is somewhat exciting) and generally just had an enjoyable night.

The net result is I'm now happier, having had a distraction from the pile of crap that caused me no end of trouble today.

That's what I like about my job, and my friends - when I leave, I leave the crap behind and my friends really don't give two shits about my job so I don't have to talk about it - I can just move on, put it to the back of my mind and hope I've developed some kind of plan in the back of my mind by the morning.

Which hopefully I will have.
