A day in the life of a Middle Manager...

Best and Worst

It's a tradition or a law or something... ;)

Best Album

Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons

Yes, I know this actually came out in 2002 but this is a list of things I got or experienced in 2003. Superb album and, sorry to say, it easily beats out everything else I bought this year music-wise.

Worst Album

Difficult one this, as I didn't buy much music this year and what I did buy I've enjoyed. Not sure I can nominate a "Worst" Album!

None

Best Film

Pirates of the Caribbean

I wasn't expecting much from this but it was excellent and a superb way to waste a couple of hours. Jonny Depp totally stole the show.

Worst Film

Hulk

Astoundingly bad. Nothing more needing to be said!

Best Airport

Manchester

As it's the only airport I've flown from/to this year ;)

Worst Airport

Toronto Pearson Airport

Oh dear. Never have I seen such chaos and such a badly designed airport. Nowhere to wait, no even half-decent restaurants. Surly staff. Tear it down and start again! I will never fly through Toronto again if I can avoid it.

Best Day

Canada Day in Calgary

Even though I didn't feel too well (see next category) this was a good day spent walking round Calgary's parks with friends. I look forward to doing it again.

Worst Day

This is another tie...

March 4 - Mum passed away suddenly in hospital
July 11 - Admitted to hospital with DKA

Both are life-changing days in the very worst way possible. Life will never be the same again.

I do not consider being made redundant a "Worst Day" simply because I see it as a liberation from the back-stabbing two-faced morons I used to have to work with.
