still knackered

I know I mentioned it before,but,here I am,approaching my post 40 and a few more years birthday,and things are getting harder by the day,maybe I am just getting old,but honestly,got home from work today,and 3 hours later my body aches in every joint/muscle, I do not even feel like drinking the rather wonderful red I have in my glass,I am feeling so bleeding knackered that I can't be bothered to watch one of my top 10 films of all time,which incidentally, consists of a few more than 10, 633 Squadron, now there's a fine film, made long ago before all that CGI crap that is churned out of America, when,if you needed an aircraft for a film, you aquired a fleet of them from god knows where, now, they give the blue prints and photos to some American computer wizz kid/twat who in between reading his copy of Nutcase with an assualt rifle monthly, knocks out some CGI Spitfire flown by another american ,who manages to win the Battle of Britain single handed. Bollocks. Modern films,by which I mean anything not done by Tarentino, are a waste of time.
Rant over.
Bad day,working bloody harder as I get older,how does that happen? Everyone I know who grew up with me seems to be leading a nice cushy life,nice house,car,several holdays a year,not having to work too hard,but me? oh no, not the easy life for me,always been a sucker for a bit of hard graft,in fact,when I was 16 I was described by a guy much older as a real grafter,certainly lived up to that, still pissed off with my failure to secure a pay rise, and in my next blog I will have found the secret to leading a lazy successful life.

How to be successful and not get a salary increase

Another day,no dollar, or should I say pound, It's strange sometimes working for a huge retail company, one that makes countless millions,helps banana growers increase their standard of living and at the same time screws british dairy farmers into oblivion, gives away free carrier bags for a day,to save the planet you see,and yet, manages to squeeze every last drop of blood from it's department managers and when pay review time comes around, say "no pay rise"difficult year,times getting harder,etc.
Would not mind,but,when making a huge profit thanks largely to my efforts,winning this that and the other,an ounce of thanks would go a long way,but in the new improved world of "The Orange One" you generally get bugger all.
Life is a bitch, and then you marry one.
