Decisions

February 4th, 2009

Back in my working days, I was the Office Senior.  In fact, I was the Supervisor, but RTE were too fucking mean to lash out the salary.

Each morning was a battle with decisions.

I had to decide on project priorities.  I had to allocate staff to the projects.  I had to decide which day in the following week I was going to take a sick day.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Decisions are mentally wearing.  Make a wrong one and the consequences are dire.  Make a right one and nobody notices.

On retiring, I made another decision.  I decided I was going to stick to the really important decisions only, such as whether I would have another pint or switch to whiskeys.

Now I am out of practice.

I can decide that the government are a load of corrupt incompetent arseholes all right. 

I can decide that the nannies have got it all wrong about passive smoking and global warming.

But there is one decision where I am stumped.

I discovered last night to my delight that I am through to the next round of The Irish Blog Awards.

BUT

I am through in two categories.

I am long-listed in Best Personal Blog and also in Best Humour Blog.

That fucker Mulley has decided I can only be in one category, so I have to withdraw from the other.

Bollox.

I made a decision.

I decided I would ask you lot.

That way, when I don’t win, I know who to blame.

Which category should I enter?  Humour or Personal?
