massage my blues away

Yesterday I was standing with Carrie and Shug when I got this shooting pain up my back. I ended up with a sore back all afternoon but it was more of a muscular thing. Anyway, when I mentioned this to P he said that it sounded like I needed a good massage. I asked if he was offering and he said yeah. Unfortunately he was only joking. I really really could have used one! He made a few comments through the day and when he asked how my back was and I said it was still sore he'd be like "oh good! i might get to give you that massage yet".

Needless to say it was still sore this morning although not as bad. I hate when I have muscular aches in areas of my back that I can't easily massage myself. Blah..

Todays reasons to smile/laugh:

- I was in the houf getting changed from being at the toilet and Lynx and Tucks both came in. We ended up leaving at the same time [me still doing up the buttons on my overalls which must have added to the dodginess factor] just to run into P and Harry at the door and then Shug came round the corner. Comments were made and Shug went on for about an hour about how I had been in the houf with 4 [I told him it was 2 but he doesn't listen!] chillboys and "no wonder you like working in the chill". Apparently he thinks they are all my boyfriends and I just can't choose between them.

- apparently Lynx went out to the carpark at lunch for a joint and upon seeing one of the engineers appear on the roof said to P & P-Pal "oh! so thats where the roof is!" Duh!!!!!! That had me laughing for ages

- P telling Shug he fancied him

- P telling Shug he fancied me

- the machines breaking down last thing so P kept coming out the chill every 2 minutes and even came up to my desk to chat for a wee while. He kept telling Shug that he was going to go home and sit ON HIS OWN, watching a video BY HIMSELF, at home ALONE. Yeah we get the hint.

- Shug saying Harry looks sinister and is probably the type to run around murdering innocent children with an axe and burying them in the garden [a la Fred West]. He then said it was either that or he was in the Gestapo. I said he does look a lot like that guy from "Allo Allo" and at the exact same moment we both said "Herr Flick" and went into convulsions> Well I did and Harry looked kind of puzzled [as did P who was standing next to him and thought it was him we were laughing at] as to why I was pissing myself laughing and pointing at him.

- the fact I was in a good mood ALL day despite having a crappy sleep and sore back and doing line checks.

reasons to hit people -

- well.. shugs insinuations that I'm the chill bike, cheeky bugger

- Tucks making some comment about how, if I hadn't started working at S*******d, I wouldn't have met Mad S and fallen in love

- the wacked dream I had last night where I was giving Shug a lift to work [or somewhere], then my car wouldn't start and then later he came to my house and gave me flowers. As a thank you. It was mighty disturbing.

But yeah, all in all, things have been good today. I was in a surprisingly good mood all day - lots of giggling and no stroppyness even although I hate doing the line checks. Saw lots of P to keep me going. Just seeing him puts a smile on my face.

Lets see how long it lasts!
