Today is my second day back at work after two weeks off and I already need another holiday. My old boss, Dave, used to say “There’s no point going on holiday… you come back more tired than before!”. I used to just laugh and say “yeah..” in a placating manner. Now I know what he meant.

My back feels like it has gone ten rounds with an overweight sumo on a cocktail of PCP, speed and Cilit Bang after I wrestled with our washing machine to try and find a leak at the weekend. It won, I lost and cried in the corner.

My forearms are aching after two weeks of no computing allowed my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to slacken off its iron grip on my tendons - only to fit in two weeks worth of work into the last two days thanks to Mr Zotob. The light at the end of the tunnel is really just another room full of crap waiting to be shovelled. My simpleton, child-like, canal minded colleague BigFootCookie has handed me the spade, I now have to keep digging.

My head feels all spongy after too much coffee, not enough *real* food and numerous phone calls ringing in through my headset. My brain has turned into something resembling happy shopper mushy peas and my eyes are as sore as a 14 year old’s testicles.

Does anyone know how to do a cranial drill massage?
