Paid.

I have in my hand one of the most exciting documents I have ever touched. I am physically shaking with excitement when I touch this thing. Our train tickets have arrived from Trainseurope! We only paid for them on Wednesday and they were with us Thursday. Good going!

I got a bit of a tingle down my spine when Bob, our man on the inside, was reading back the itinerary to me on Wednesday, but that was nothing compared with the tingle I get when holding the tickets in my hands!

All the months of rubbish from the bosses at work. All the crap phone calls on days off. All the pressure not to have a day off (due to sickness etc). All the time spent answering to their pathetic needless demands. All the time WASTED answering their pathetic knowledgeless questions. All the times I felt a hit of deflation every time I saw one of their names pop up on the mobile phone screen. All of the crap I've felt from them for the last 15 months. All suddenly worth it!
