I'm a bad person

Well the deed is done, I am not at work and I should be!

I wont regale you with the details of how I escaped, I am not particularly proud of my apparent new found ability to behave dishonestly, despite the mitigating circumstances.

It was necessary and I did it but my feelings are very mixed. On the one hand I feel as guilty as hell and that I have in some way let myself down, on the other hand a part of me feels a little pleased with myself that just for once I did what I needed too as opposed to 'towing the line'.

Whatever, it is done now and there was absolutely no point at all if all I do is feel guilty and beat myself up over it. I did what I could along the way to allevite some of the impact for my employer, and let's face it, it's cost me better part of a weeks pay into the bargain.

So here goes, good or bad, right or wrong, excusable or otherwise, I'm determined to make the most of every minute of my time off and enjoy it, even if I do end up covered in mud......

and no, I'm not off to Glasto!
