So the end to another stressful working week….boy am I glad to see Friday! This week I have been doing a lot of venting. The workplace at the moment is a melting pot of crazy stress with hysteria at coffee time. Hopefully it is just a phase brought about by a lot of change and as with all phases will eventually pass but in the meantime am living for the weekends. So this weekend is all about taking charge….if you can’t follow the leader, choose your own path!

Happy Flyday!
