Work's getting me down

I'm beginning to hate having to go to work, if you've read my previous entries you may remember they've changed all our targets at work. Where as I was always achieving a 5 every day I am now only achieving a 1. It's not like I'm slacking off either, the other day I came home & was so mentally exhausted that I had no energy to do anything. I hate being like this because I have always taken pride in doing a good job & know I am still doing the same as I was before but now there's nothing to show for it.

Oh well enough moaning. Been trying to think of my top ten songs ( check out bobandkate's blog http://journals.aol.co.uk/bobandkate/AnAnalysisofLife/entries/2006/09/07/top-ten-favourite-songs/1370 ). Very difficult but here goes....

 

1. You can't put your arms around a memory - Johnny Thunders

2. Tragedy - Hanoi Rocks

3. Wild side - Motley Crue

4. Detroit rock city - Kiss

5. Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen

6. Belfast Child - Simple Minds

7. Something to believe in - Poison

8. Ballad of Jayne - LA Guns

9. Iris - Go Goo Dolls

10. Princes of the universe - Queen

 

They aren't in any particular order because that would just be way too hard. Obviously there are lots of other songs I love but I think these are the ones that have always been constants, some of them have special meanings to me but others are just killer tracks. I never realised it would be so difficult to choose 10 songs. Even just sorting out this list has brought back many memories, a few of my friends are more than 10 years younger than me & are always makingfun of my music tastes & calling me an old man - but I wouldn't swap my memories for anything in the world.  No doubt L'il Vamp will one day call me an old fossil & tell me how old fashioned my music is, I know I was the same with my parents. I guess what goes around comes around, as a kid I used to listen to my dad playing 'build me up buttercup' & now thanks to the film 'there's something about mary' it is a popular tune again. Great songs never go out of style they just become elevator music!!!

Anyway enough of my ramblings, I have to shave my head, have a shower, do the washing up & put the washing on...I tell you, women use the pregnancy excuse to get out of doing everything.

Take care all & don't forget to come back soon..... Vamp x

Hi Vamp
have you check-mated me yet?!
Work sounds a nightmare...but at the end of the day, you can only do your best and if you do, your integrity will be intact.I guess what I'm saying is...don't let the bastards get ya down!When everyone is demotivated and throwing sickies left, right and centre, they'll have to reassess!
Just out of curiosity, do you wear a pinny and Marigolds when you do the washing up?!!
love Phoenix
