I know this isn't going to help my prospective employment opportunities if it gets read but I feel the need to write. Today I've self declared the day as a "work to rule" day. For those not familiar with the term today I will only do the most urgent bare minimum amount of work possible.

You might be asking why should this good man so devout to his current employment go on such drastic action - well today my ex buddy and department colleague returned back from a 1 year unpaid leave and human resources reallocated him to another department depriving me of any workload share we could have enjoyed together. I am now the only person left from a section of 4 colleagues (1 left and 2 reallocated). My thought of the day - if they don't care about my section why should I care about work.

To make this day memorable, even though there's no reason why it should be, I'm going to log my activities as time goes by:-
7.00 : Alarm triggered, pet and fed my lovable black demons
7.15 : Left to get my better half as her car is at the mechanic
8.10 : Arrived at work in the rain
