That's How It Happened

It's a classic claim of pop psychology that moving house is one of the most stressful life events. If you check the original Holmes Rahe Social Readjustment Rating Scale you find it's actually only slightly more stressful than Christmas, and no more stressful than being "presently in the pre-menstrual period". None-the-less with the introduction of European Working Time yesterday, my bump up the career ladder on Wednesday (from being a lowly SHO, to an exalted SSHO), and moving back home with my parents next week, I manage to score an astonishing 180. That's the equivalent of going to jail, getting divorced, and going through the menopause all at the same time. I don't actually feel stressed though. Perhaps due to the residual blood alcohol from Nobber's 19th century themed birthday party. Most guests plumped for full Victorian regalia, so the GF and I tried to sabotage things a little by constructing hats to represent smallpox and cholera. Best party guest was camp cuban playwright Cheddy who looked exactly like camp floridian rapper Sisqo. Note to self: remember never to bleach own hair and rap about gussets.
