January Blues

All the turkey's been eaten and presents have been opened. Credit cards are charged to the max and everyone's back in work.

January sucks, doesn't it? Instead of an introduction, it's more of an anti-climax. January reminds me of that awful film 'Mission to Mars'. The first hour and a half was exciting, much like the buzz we all get when Christmas is coming up. Then, Gary Sinise ruins it all by deciding he wanted to be with the aliens and live happily ever after. That's what January's like - the month that ruins Christmas.

Everyone's skint, the weather is atrocious (as I look out the window writing this, the wind is howling and it's pouring down in flood-like proportions), and everyone's poorly. My office building is filled with people sniffling, coughing, heaving. Workstations look like mini chemists, filled with an assortment of over the counter medication.

I wish it was February.
