I had an absolutely shocking day at work today, I started at 6am & it was just one thing after another, finally things started to settle down about 11am when I turned to my workmate Mick & said, geez mate, do you realise that is 11am & we haven't even had a feed yet?
His response was " ***k me, is it really 11am, stuff this, I am going to grab a sandwich & when I come back you can do the same.
After a couple of hours of relative respite, there were further multiple issues which started just after 1pm, by the time that our relief turned up at 2pm all of the issues had been resolved so we were able to give an uncomplicated handover but we just could not get out of there quick enough.
I arrive home feeling just a little bit stressed so i quickly get changed, crack open a stubby & log into to the current challenge game.
Within half an hour i am feeling relaxed, the issues from work are totally forgotten, i am actually feeling quite chuffed as i manage to outscore a couple of my regular " rivals " but there are still many more of my favourite players that are well ahead of me & i still have 3 common words to find. ( still 4 hours before the game closes so i will try to remedy that )
The intent of this post is not to deride anyone ( each to their own ) but simply to explain why i personally enjoy playing the game so much.
When i first started playing the game, i got extremely excited when i managed to achieve a " good " score which included the big word.
Slowly but surely, over time, i have managed to raise the bar a little but i will never delude myself into thinking that one day i will achieve a cup & i could not care less just as i could not care less about those players who consistently play perfect games day after day.
