Work...just not too hard.

I'm not at my best on Monday mornings, a fact to which my wife can attest.

This is not intentional. My initial aim on these days is to be bright and breezy but, unfortunately, with in thirty minutes of arriving at work, some one will always do or say something stupid. Something which will tip me over the edge into the Monday morning pit of despair.

As the week wears on, my mood lifts until, on Saturday morning, I'm back to my cheerfully, fun loving self.

Generally, I think that we could all sum up our working lives as 'a means to a an end'. I could probably count on a clenched fist the number friends that 'love' their work. But then thinking about it, it's not the work that gets me down as much as the...and here I have to stop in fear of a law suit with my name on it.

As if to illustrate my point, I stumbled across Michael Rianda's animated gem on Vimeo.  

Has it been almost a month since my last post?

Yes, it bloody well has. Adding to issues mentioned in previous posts I now find myself suffering from a trapped nerve in the index finger of my right hand. Needless to say this is making most things necessitating the use of that hand quite difficult. Everything from holding a fork to using this damn computer is now a major issue. I blame the job. 20 years of using a computer for eight hours a day can do that to you. I should have seen the signs, after all, I spent five years risk assessing my colleague's workstations to help them avoid these problems. But I guess it's a case of do as I say, not as I do, eh?

I'm using some voice recognition software to help with the computer work. This, along with my Wacom tablet is helping (don't get to excited, it's just an old A5 Wacom, nothing special).

The images below are the last three Dr.Who sketches that I recently finished (see the earlier post below for details). Ever tried drawing when you cant hold your tools properly? There not so good. I feel like I'm learning how to draw all over again.
