Done and dusted
Have completed a second training course, can now train lifeguards to the highest of standards, as set by myself!
have also come to the conclusion that in training lifeguards i can start my own evil army of disciples and forcibly take over the world from within the ranks of the health and leisure sector...pure genius, while remaining wholly EVIL!!! loving it!
actually feeling pretty crap, am tired of living with parents as usual, but have discovered that they still argue and bicker as much as ever, if not more than before, about the most trivial and petty of things, the other day in was about the (lack of) use of the dishwasher that resides in the kitchen never being used, before that it was about cutting the roast dinner up, other topics have been the dog, the funny smell in the kitchen (probably coming from the dog in one form or other), the way my dad drives, decorating, the new table and who marked it (it's only been here a week)...pointless topics, irritatingly pointless, but loud arguments about nothing really!
have seen the lovely vic and baby aisha again, both mother and baby are doing well, even if the fella tried to burn down the kitchen and now everywhere smells like burnt pizza! still haven't met said fella!
really clever boss today asked me to make sure that the H&S IMS file was up to date, for those of you how have no idea what i'm on about, it's the file that contains all the current health and safety procedurs, therefore fairly important. New/updated procedures come out on a monthly basis, usually 2 or 3 a month, these are re-written by my good self so that they are relevent to the centre and are easy enough for the other DM's to be able to understand them. Once i've worked my magic, these get passed on to my boss who "reads" them and signs off the actions that have been completed, once he's done that he should be filing them in the afore mentioned file. when i get my grubby little mitts on it today i'm confronted with missing documents and poor filing...turns out that i needed to reproduce 4 of the documents, one of which was later found hiding in a different section of the file, behind something else that shouldn't have even been there! but when i asked as to the whereabouts of my missing paperwork, the boss looked blankly and said he didn't know and that he'd lost it...SUPERB!!! was not impressed and had to re-write them all again, only took about an hour because i'm pre-emptive and i back everything up on the hard drive and on floppy disc too, but i still couldn't find one which made me look stupid because i then had to email other sites and get their version! Not Amused.
Stupid DM has been using my email account, she sent an email to head office, which has 25 staff all grouped under the same email address which made me look stupid and as though i didn't know how to use a computer...i emailed an apology for their incompetence, especially seeing as she also read some of my personal email...stupid wench! but have since put a password protect on my email as well as on my user id...many thanks to woja for the assist!
am not overly impressed with certain individuals at the moment, but until i'm ruling the world there's nothing i can do about them but ignore them
thankfully i've managed to avoid getting into "I'm a celeb..." this year, although mother dear is hooked and father dear therefore spends more time on his own in the kitchen, with the dog, not sure who's creating the smells in there, but it's being blamed on the poor woofer!
more work stuff...had to take stupid photo of me from when i was little in to work today so that when we have the H/O and managers meal next week sometime everyone can try and guess which pic is of who, mother dear suggested that i use a pic of when i was in fancy dress for halloween, wearing a bedsheet and mask, but i thought that was a little unfair seeing as the pic i chose lookse nothing like me anyway. btw i have been personally invited by the MD to attend this function, not sure why, but the other DM's from my centre are not going, probably because they're too thick and no-one really likes them enough, whereas me, i've not been there long enough to make enemies, apart from these DM's and that's only because i'm paid more than they are...still not paid what i'm worth though...i'd like to see them re-produce 4 documents in an hour, even if they had the originals and only had to photocopy them they wouldn't be able to do it... but like i said, until i'm druling the world i've just got to suffer their ignorance!
peeps who need thanx and congrats:
woja...for coming to the Dub with me and for finally realising that diesil is the way to go;
jen...for getting some decent progress on her dissertation;
DK...for a lovely pic and getting an award for something and for her b'day.
peeps who should be taken outside and shot as it's the best thing for them:
DM's & boss...for making me do work that didn't need to be done/had been done already/making me look stupid (yeah i know that the last one is easy, but i don't need any help from THEM)
Stupid stalker girl...for inviting me to her house 2 weeks on the trot, even though i said no the first time, for getting jealous when i went to see bridget jones without her, for thinking that she can have anything more than a friendship (which she is seriously testing) with me

right...that's enough, i'm missing ready steady cook and my back is starting to ache a little from hunching in front of the computer. thanks for actually reading this blog and letting me let off some steam in the general direction of the computer and you indirectly
going now
take care
laters peeps

Sorry!
I've been told off for not blogging for a while, so sorry, i've been busy, but i know that's no excuse
living with the parents isn't really working very well, although i did manage to get a half decent lay-in this morning.
birthday celebration was in ireland, was very cool...very drunken, we visited something like 20 pubs of varying description..including ones called the hairy lemon, the bleeding horse and Peter's Pub, had to go in the last one really, irish rule that you can't go past a pub with your name on it. started drinking at 11 on my birthday, the original pub that we were going to start in was just unbolting it's doors as we walked past and we decided that going straight in there would be a little keen. spent some time in a couple of pubs in Temple Bar, all good. must say that there are a shed load of lovely looking women in dublin...count of women seen since coming back on tuesday last week has been about 10..not such good pickings in the uk...
nothing much to report, been on a trainging course so now i'm qualified to train lifeguards at about £15-£20 per hour...it's all good, on another course on thursday coming so that i can teach the other module of the lifeguard qualification which means when i run a full course of 40 hours i can earn a few quid (something like £600-£800 per full course) how good is that?
been to see alfie and bridget jones 2 recently, liked both, would recommend both, but don't sit in the front row, we had to for bridget jones and it wasn't good :(
bought the new harry potter dvd, not had time to watch it yet though, and red dwarf series 5 dvd with free starbug model...it's all good, watched most o fthat last night, but fell asleep during the last episode (back to reality) so i've got to watch that one again tonight :) also got the new eminem album, the new me first and the gimme gimmes album too, both are pretty good
work is ok, bit boring, but ok, i'm there now which just shows how interesting it is tonight!!!
better get back to it really, but i just can't be bothered
do you blame me?
didn't get the job at thame, they gave it to someone without any leisure centre related qualification, including the lifeguard qualification...in a swiming pool environment, you'd think they'd employ someone who has that! anyway i think that the company are keeping me here on purpose at the moment...not sure
right blog over, will try to blog more often in the future
"happy now? x"
