1 1000, 2 1000, 3 1000...
went to see hide and seek last night...very, very disturbing. excellent twist in it which i won't give away, but i truly didn't see it coming and although it made the film make sense and a little less scary, it is awesome, and i felt really uncomfortable watching it until the twist was revealed, it's that much of a thinking/scary film...very very good though!
also went to have food last night, sat in chili's in reading, never been there before, was quite busy though and we were told that there would be a half hour wait to get a table...which we were ok with, it turned out it was only 10-15 minutes before we sat down...good...placed our order, i thought i'd have the tuna, looked like a good option. after 45 minutes of waiting for the food i complained to the waiter as other people who had come in after us had started eating their food, he told me it would be about 5 minutes and he'd just had a go at the chef to find out where it was, ok no worries...10 minutes later i told him that if it wasn't there in 2 minutes i was leaving! the 2 minutes elapsed and i called for the manager, he came over and i explained the situation to him and told him that i wasn't interested now and i'd had enough, as i said this our food turned up and i told him to take it back as i was through waiting and it was too late at that point, they offered the meal for free and i just looked at him and walked out. I don't usually complain much when i'm out for a meal, but last night was really taking the piss, i've never had to wait that long in my life, i nearly asked them to show me into the kitchen and i'd cook it myself, probably would've got it quicker!
we ended up in macdonalds
should've gone to nando's to start with, much better in there
i know i should've taken the free food, but by the time it came out i was so pissed off at them that i just wasn't interested anymore and i had already said that i would leave
anyway
i also heard about the job in andover, didn't get it, wasn't really expecting to and i'm glad i didn't really, it'd mean moving away and stuff which i don't overly want to do at the moment and i would've had to ask for more money than they were offering me...still they are going to pay me mileage for the interview which i hadn't expected, it's only 38p a mile, but that's better than a kick in the balls seeing as i did around 80 miles return journey!
still looking for other work though, might try abroad again, could be more interesting than what i'm doing now, always interested in going to cyprus to work, if i get a job out there you're all invited to come on over for a holiday...someone suggested that i start by going to the travel agents and finding out which tour operators and that are in cyprus an contacting them directly and then contacting the hotels directly as well as some of the resorts and things like that, going to have to give it a try, also need to update my cv at some point seeing as it's been out of date now for something like 10 months, but i just can't seem to get round to it!
right i'm off now...
take care peeps, laters

flavour of the weak
song title...just been listening to it
got drunk last night
sat up talking to mojo half the night too...it's all good though, just feeling really tired now though, will sleep well tonight!
i keep trying to finish my book, but i've not managed it yet, think i'll probably head off in a few minutes and read as much of it as i can before i fall asleep
things have been weird for a while and i'm looking forward to moving out next weekend...should be good, at least when i'm in my own place again i can do what i want when i want and all that, it'll also mean that i can chill and organise my head properly, which is much needed
by the way you're all invited to pop in whenever you feel like it and i'll have to try and organise some sort of social gathering, i'm tempted to have a dinner party, but everyone will have to bring their own crockery and that seeing as i have a limited amount which i seem to break fairly regularly, but i guess i might pop down to IKEA to get some new stuff, god know i need it and it'll be cheap as well
right enough blogging, time to read

anger management...yeah...right
for some reason i'm just getting really narky at the moment, i'm thinking it could be because of various reasons...following...but whatever the reason i'm not enjoying it and i'm getting really pissed off at myself for getting pissed off at everything else...make sure? no...exactly! that's why i'm pissed off and angry!

reason #1
work
yeah i know i bitch about work more than i bitch about anything else in the world, that's because it pisses me off more than anything else in the world...most of the time anyway...there's either so much to be doing and it's all got to have been done yesterday or there's nothing for weeks on end, i'm tired of it, i'm tired of having great ideas which would make the place better to work in and all that, and then having them shouted down because SOMEONE doesn't like them so they shout them down at every opportunity making it so hard to impliment that it's easier to just say fine, forget it. I'm tired of not being allowed a pay rise, even though the boss has told me i deserve more money than i'm getting, and again this is because SOMEONE is whinging because i get more than they do...i get more because i do more, i have more qualifications relevent to the job, i have better experience, more skills...get over it!

reason #2
women
second biggest peeve of mine is women. why do some say one thing and do another? why do some try too hard? it's a turn off! why do some seem so right and then turn out so wrong? and why do some have the power over me that makes me act like a complete and utter twat? (note to woja...piss off i know i act like a twat most of the time...i mean more specifically where they are concerned!) i know i've said i'm through with women, but that's like a really wrong thing, i can't think of the appropriate simile...was going to link it with going bald, specially for woja, but couldn't be bothered to work something out!

reason #3
living with my parents
it's just getting me down, the sooner i move out the better, options are at the moment...moving into my brother's place which he's vacating soon to live with his partner (sounds gay, but she's female and i don't want to patronise her by calling her a girlfriend)...the other is getting a new job somewhere miles away from here, from my folks, from my current job, from the women around here that are doing my head in...this would seem to be the ideal option however getting a job is proving harder than it looks, still not heard back from the interview on tuesday though so there is a little ship of hope sailing on the horizon

gripe over
going to bed
need sleep, lack of it probably isn't helping my moods either

i feel sick and i want to get off this ride

life is pretty boring at the moment, in fact the most interesting thing i've done for a while is...well...nothing really

interview yesterday went ok, got lost on the way there, twice, but that's because the directions i got didn't tell me which turn off i was supposed to take so i have an excuse...

spent some cash on stuff yesterday...probably shouldn't have done that, but who cares!

feeling really tired today

over indulged at dinner as well, hence the feeling sick bit in the title

getting off the ride as all about work, my boss is a numpty, he's been stressing all week about the QUEST Maintenance Visit, which was today, and in getting stressed he's stressed me to near breaking point...one day he'll go too far and then there could be a mess

very tired, spelling is going wonky and i keep having to read back through every line to make sure i've not missed out any more letters...going to hit the sack i think...might be a wise move

heh heh
thought'd i'd better blog seeing as i've not done it for nearly a month and someone will be telling me off soon for not doing it (dk)
right well...things are a bit weird, but then it's my life and when aren't they!
well i've decided to give up looking for a woman, it seems that whenever i find one that i like there's a problem...she's a slapper...she's got a boyfriend...she's irritating as hell and can't be bothered to do anything, won't make a decision, won't cook, wash-up, get out of bed in the morning...not that i'm speaking from experience or anything like that...i'd never do that ;)
anyway women...i'm through chasing you for the time being...i want to be chased...come and get me
i'm changing my mobile number at the end of the week...going pay and go to try and calm down on the sheer number of messages that i'm sending each month, my plan is that if i've got no credit i can't text anyone...there's logic there...somewhere
i've had the stereo fitted, felt a bit of a trevor for a while, then i remembered that kev's and trev's only have bangin' hard house tunes blaring from their stereo's and not the subtle complexities that make up the flogging molly tunes, the funky sounds of the chili's or the pure aural assualt provided by the likes of rammstein, white zombie and korn...so i calmed down a little and turned the volume up :)
not moved yet, but i'm moving fairly soon i'm assured
got an interview tomorrow for a job at a school, not really the position i wanted, and the pay isn't much better than what i'm on at the moment...but it should give me a little more experience for when i want to run a centre myself...i wish i'd sent off the application for the other job too, but i forgot about it until the day it was supposed to have been back with them...bugger!
other than that stuff has been pootling on nicely i guess, went away for a nice relaxing weekend, took loads of pictures with my lovely camera, but i've not got round to printing them off yet, they're all hiding on my laptop, using a nice one of a shark as my background. had to buy a bigger memory stick though so i maxed out on a 256mb jobbie so that i don't have to lug the laptop away next time
my boss has been stressing me today, we've got a big audit coming up on wednesday, could mean a lot of brownie points for me if we ace it, so today he's been asking me to check through files and documents and that which will be looked at, but his trouble is that he asks me to do about half a dozen things at once and then wonders why nothing is getting done...foolish man
got red dwarf 6 in the post today...life is good
also got C.H.U.D II: Bud The Chud, not sure what it'll be like, but it looks like a laugh and it's from the tacky horror genre so i'm in there then
saw Bubba Hotep last week...funny and touching...surprising really considering what it's about!
also spent money on an XMODS RC...got a supra, and all of the mods i can find for it in the UK, which means i might have to import some stuff from the US...we'll see, i've mailed them to ask what stuff is available in the uk and where i can get it
right i've still got to pull the directions off the net for tomorrow so i guess i'd better get on with it, so laters peeps
