vampire visits

well i went to see the vampire today and it was pretty good
she was very nice to me and instead of sticking me with a big needle and attaching the vacuum tubes to it, she was kind enough to stick me with a mini needle and syringe out some and then bung that in the vac tubes
i did ask what they would be looking at, and i've forgotten, partly because i don't like needles and partly because she went off on one and told me it was like having an MOT...i didn't state the obvious that i'm not a car and my car doesn't have blood...but apparently they are going to be looking at liver and kidney and then a full blood analysis, so cell count and sugar levels and shit like that
in other news
it's do or die time tomorrow for the english boys in germany...fingers crossed that they'll pick up their game...they'd beter pick things up otherwise that'll be 3 major tournaments that big phil has put us out of
don't you think it's funny just how patriotic we become for our sports teams, i mean there are george cross' everywhere at the moment, but on st george's day...hardly anything!
i've not been sink in nearly a week, although i did have an upset stomach the other day, but i wasn't sick...if you catch my drift!
the weekend is looking like a good one to just sit and chill out, weather is looking good and there's footie on!
song for the weekend...well it's getting summery over here now so i guess i should hunt out something nice and light. spoilt for choice, i'm liking i wish by skee-lo, summertime by fresh prince and good enough by dodgy all are corkingly good summer tunes. personal fav has got to be skee-lo though...not that i wish i were any taller, i'm big enough as it is (linny no dodgy comments please, we all know you need to get laid so get your mind out of the gutter!)

weekend here we come

vampire visit

i've got to to go and see the vampire under doctors orders (by vampire i mean phlebotomist, but the inferrence is the same) i'm to have some blood tests and stuff like that. meanwhile i'm back on the dom peridone (anti emetics) but none of the other tablets which is ok, but all they are doing is stopping me from being sick and not actually treating the cause...
also having some kind of scan done at some point...sounds like fun...think it's an ultra sound scan, so all easy stuff there (still looking like i could be pregnant though what with the throwing up in the morning, i had swollen ankles for a while [but that was sunburn] and now an ultra sound)
i don't like needles
i know that sounds weird considering i've had 11 piercings and 10 tattoos and they are all needles
but i'm just not a needles fan medically
still i'll be alright when it comes to the bloods, nervous, but alright
and i've had an ultra sound before back when i first got my ibs diagnosed, then it was to look for my appendix. this time round though they're looking for gall stones, even though the doc thinks i'm too young for them...
so far it's been:
some virus thing...nah
excess stomach acid...nah
now it's gall stones...nah
what next? stomach ulcer? worse?
i'm not thinking about the worse thing's it could be, i'm thinking it's just me being sick
and now i'm sick of being sick
if i could just stop it, i would...wouldn't that be great? just being able to stop being ill. like a switch kinda thing inside your head that controls it all...
anyway
i'm sure it'll clear up in the end, just hope i'm not sick again...
laters peeps
and i promise something a little more entertaining soon

don't be mad

it's boring at work today
and i'm still not feeling great
i can't be bothered at the moment
it's been suggested that i run away
place mentioned was france, but my french is rusty at best
have the fear at the moment
will let you in on it if your PROMISE not to get angry or take the moral high ground or anything like that
have the fear because i was tempted to cut myself again
for the first time in 2 years i wanted to do it
but i didn't
please don't sit there thinking bad things about me
i'm trying to deal with a lot of things at the moment
all of which are small and insignificant
but piled together are not cool
the sum of the whole is greater that the sum of the individual parts and all that kinda thing
i know there are people out there worse off than me
i know that i've got it good at the moment
but there are so many little things that are causing me stress
they say that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do
i'm already stressed and i'm not moving for like 7 weeks
reasons for stress:
too many jobs
not enough money (hence the 3 jobs)
no free time
being sick
moving house
my parents impending divorce
and subsequent issues like selling a house, helping mum get a new one, moving her...other settlement related issues
my IBS (which hasn't properly flared up yet, but it's only a matter of time)
my car (which although is ok at the moment, needs an MOT and tax disc soon)
not enough sleep (which leads to me getting more stressed which leads to even less sleep)
my proper job...well documented fact that i don't really enjoy it
general feeling of not belonging
fear that i'm going to cut myself again

lots of little things that combined make a big ugly monster

i want to go home
i want to go to sleep
i want to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and with out any of the above hassles
i wish i could

i don't know

there's something wrong with me
yesterday afternoon i was sick again and got sent home from work, as a result i didn't do the quiz last night
today i feel sick still
it's been suggested that i change my diet
but it feels as though its everything that's making me feel sick, not just one thing :(
it's been suggested that i'm doing too much
but i can't do any less really at the moment as i've got so much that i need to do
i think i need to go back to the doc and see what's wrong with me

i don't know

and i'm really tired all the time at the moment too

all change?

i'm wondering if it's time to completely change my blog template
it's been like this for a while
i'm used to it
maybe a little too used to it now though
what do you think?
(double posted today)

Stuff

lots of stuff that i want to talk about at the moment all a bit disjointed though, so be warned

house stuff:
mild concern that we're not going to afford the place along with a few other minor concerns like how well will we get on when we're living together etc etc etc...all of which i'm sure are nonsense and will be fine.
tenancy agreement has been drawn up, but i've not had chance to read it yet, should be ok though, and as long as they sort out a few things for us before we move (like the aussie heating system...it's off in the winter and on in the summer) then it'll all be good

comfort zone stuff:
now i'm all for exploring your comfort zones and all that, but pushing things too far too quickly is not cool. last week i did the quiz, and i was ok with it, even though i was very nervous before starting, this week i'm worse than i was last week. if my comfort zone were to be represented by a single sheet of a4 paper sitting on my desk here at work, then doing the quiz not only puts me off the paper, but i'm off the desk and out the office. i can't explain it, i'm just not happy doing it and although i settle into it while i'm there, i just don't want to do it. i need the money, but do i need the money that much? i don't think i do

sleep stuff:
i'm not sleeping very well
by that i mean i'm lucky if i'm getting 4 or 5 hours a night
last night i went to bed before 11, i didn't get to sleep until after 12 and was awake before 6 and i woke up several times in the night too
it's bugging me out
and probably not helping with the comfort zone stuff either

work stuff:
don't you hate it when you know you've got things to do...but you can't do them because someone else is holding up the chain?
at the moment i've got 2 quotes open, one is waiting for some steel prices, the other is for gas regulators...the trouble is we have no idea which regulators they are, where they came from or anything...which is really unhelpful
the pub work is fine though and the dj/quiz host has been mentioned before as being uncomfortable

people stuff:
i've been a bit crap again in keeping in touch with people and i'm sorry, there has been a lot going on, nothing interesting, but enough to keep my mind overly pre-occupied with stuff. but then i guess it's a two way thing and i can't take all the blame can i!

game stuff:
remember me talking before about n-game? well i found a version that can be downloaded...this is very cool, but it has meant that there has been an added distraction to my work load (such as it is) also been playing a variety of online games. Desperately trying to find someone to play dots and boxes with though

did you know stuff:
did you know the daggett in the original series of battlestar galactica was played by a chimpanzee called eve? a daggetts are the BSG name for dogs this robo-daggett was called muffy...
apparently it was rather off putting to hear the chimp noises during a take, even though she was better at hitting her marks that half the cast!!!

June is a GOOD month on my calendar...for those of you not in the know, i've got a bath university cheerleaders lingerie calendar

the spell checker doesn't recognise battlestar and comes out with fatalistic...dodgy!

i'm having a thrilling day at work

animal stuff:
in the last couple of weeks i've had some random creatures run out in front of my car, i've not hit any of them (i'm a good driver contrary to popular belief)
the count is at
2 rabbits
a squirrel
a pheasant
2 crows
a magpie
and a mole...a proper little black mole, i wasn't sure what it was to start with, it looked like something rolling across the road, but it had direction. moles are supposed to live underground, not practise jay-walking on busy roads

more sleep stuff:
why is it that when you sleep with a woman (as in actually sleep, not sex) they take up so much of the bed? i'm referring to an ex from a while ago who used to sleep with her head as far across the bed away from me as possible, but her backside was almost pushing me out of bed...no mater what size of bed we were in she's sleep like this. on top of it she'd expect to be cuddled until she fell asleep, by which point she'd usually manipulated me into an uncomfortable position from which if i moved i'd wake her up, thus unleashing her wrath in all it's glory because i'd woken her up! i was going to post some pics with this, but for some reason, blogger isn't letting me today!

anyway
i think that's enough stuff for today

I didn't get tagged, but wanted to do it anyway

6 weird things about me

i can't remember if i've done this or not, but if i have i'll do it again because i'm sure there's more than just 6 weird things about me...

1. at the age of 27 i'm still a big wrestling fan, i don't know what it is about it, but i think now that i'm older i can appreciate the skill that these "atheletes" have not to hurt each other seriously (if at all)

2. i bite the nails on my right hand, although i use scissors or nail clippers on my left hand, i know it's because i'm right handed and can't cut them on my right hand with the scissors, but i could do it with the clippers

3. i can talk to anyone when i'm behind the bar in the pub where i work, but put me the other side of the bar and i'm not keen on talking to anyone

4. i've been know to fall asleep in the bath, with or without water in there. if there is water in there i usually put my book down in my sleep (not in the water though)

5. i cut my own hair, i know it's not weird, but sometimes you should see what i end up with, as i usually miss a little bit and then refuse to trim it until the next time i cut my hair

6. when ever i sit down to eat a meal, especially sunday roast, i have to get up and go to the loo within 5 minutes of starting to eat

apparently i'm supposed to tag 6 people, but i'm only going to tag 3, woja, PP and akanksha, anyone else is welcome to do it if they want

(still working on the 100 things...)

i did it
as you know i go to the pub every monday and take part in the quiz, well last night i went to a different pub and hosted the quiz...
it was my first attempt at it and i was seriously nervous, so nervous that i nearly called and cancelled it in the afternoon, but after talking to someone very special who calmed me down loads even though they weren't that helpful...i got there and i did it!
it went ok, it wasn't brilliant, but it was only my first time and no-one's good at anything on the first attempt...but i've done it now so i'm hoping that next week i'll be calmer and that'll be better then...i hope

anyway i was going to try and post a HNT from the files, but i can't find the email that had the link in it...which is a pain in the arse...which funnily enough was the pic i was going to post...i'll keep searching and it i find it i'll post again...but don't hold your breath people

i've got a headache this morning

i'm feeling better so i've cancelled my appointment with the doc

i'm peeling from last week's venture to the beach when i got burnt, although my ankles have now returned to their original size...

i'm on my 3rd disc of the original battlestar galactica series, it's amazing how many things you can pick up on, things that as a kid were lost on me but now are obvious symbolic representations...or something like that

after BG i've the series 2 of the 4400 to watch, the original series of this really gripped me and i'm surprised that it's not been shown on normal tv in the uk (it's only available on satellite at the moment and my folks got rid ot the satellite a few years ago because i was the only one watching it)

moving date has been set at august 14th...so i'm hoping that we can be in and settled within a week from that date...but we shall see!

i'm so very tired and i'm working in the pub again tonight

comment moderation issue...as raised by rawbean and seconded by akanksha...
i'll see about removing it soon...but if the crazy lady re-appears, so will the moderation. she did promise that she'd never read it again, but that was in september, and she was back in january this year, which prompted the introduction of the moderation!
so no moderation, but word verification will be back instead...how's that?

anyway laters

singing the blues
ok, so it's a mere technicallity that i'm not actually singing the blues
but wasn't the weekend's football shocking? i mean england were gifted a goal in under 3 minutes...an own goal no less... then the goalie is taken off injured and we still couldn't stick one in. and the second half was bad...they coasted!
enough football
i hope that they put a better showing in against trinidad and tobago though

ok
issues
computer related
after that wanker leaving he's stopped paying for the internet access, which is fine as i have my own access anyway, but the numbnuts in cancelling the main access has cancelled the broadband link to the house...greatso for the next 3 weeks i'm without access at home, but that's fine, i can still blog and that from work...so it's not a major issue, just really irritating!
the weather
i wish it would just decide what it's going to do, this morning it's rained a couple of times, but outside at the moment it's bone dry and baking in the sunshine...it's too hot for my liking, but then i got proper burnt last week when i took the day off to go to the beach...and yes it was my own fault, i should've put the sun cream on earlier than i did (i only went about 20 minutes without any on...but i forgot to do my feet and ankles so i crispy fried them and they were all swollen and sore and they're still not looking too healthy!
not issues
bbq at the weekend was cool, minor confusion relating to me babysitting and one of the guys there though said little one was mine, she's not, quite blatently not as she is part asian and i'm as white as they come (although iguess seeing as her mum wasn't there said mum could be asian and therefore it would match out...but she's not though...bless litlun had a bit of a tantrum (in an i'm hot and tired kinda way) and proceeded to snot all over me before falling asleep and giving me a cuddle. but it was a nice evening
i've been watching battlestar galactica, the original 70's series with face from the a-team in...truly a classic. got the delights of the 2004 series to follow it although i'm thinking it might not be as good, we shall see.
then after BG i've got series 2 of the 4400, i really enjoyed series 1, even though there were only about 5 episodes...weird so i'm looking forward to seeing how they developed the characters and sub plots and everything in to it
also i've got the ultimate ric flair dvd to watch at somepoint although i'm thinking about leaving the wrestling for a little while and concentrating on the other things first

little dissappointed to have sideshow note that there's nothing much being posted these days on the office blog, might get rid of it at somepoint, unless someone is willing to start posting on there...i know half of his working day is spent like mine online...so maybe he'll read this and do something...but i doubt it
it's also made me look at the other blogs i've got...PP are you going to post anything on our one, or shall we just rid ourselves of it? it seems a bit of a waste really, but neither of us has posted there since january, if not longer!
as for the storyboards...i've got a few ideas swimming around to post there at some point, but they need developing, so i'm keeping that one at least for now...

oh yeah...with the lack of being able to connect at home i'll maybe not be posting anything for HNT for a while, we shall see...i think i've got a few on various sites that i could use in the time being as a filler, but i don't want to be uploading to the works computer really...

song for the weekend
seeing as it's the start of the world cup this weekend and EN-GER-LAND have their first match tomorrow (while i'm at work:( )
I thought i'd post this as the song for the weekend...it's been going round my head all day!
it's by Bell and Spurling and it was released a couple of years ago for the football then (i;m not a fan of the embrace track which lays claim the the england world cup song this year)

Sven Sven Sven
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
He's got Jimmy Saville's haircut so how'd he get a lovely girlfriend
He tried so many players for the Holland game
Yeah how'd he forget Collymore, they say he's insane

Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
He's a lovely geezer but don't forget that he's from Sweden
Up front there's Michael Owen and Heskey that's his pal
We should shave off Seaman's moustache and cut his ponytail

Seaman Seaman Seaman Your hair's in a right old state
All you need is a Mark One Escort and a sovereign ring, mate
What a wally David looks his hair will have to go
'Cos he's a cross between Burt Reynolds
And Peter Stringfellow

Seaman Seaman Seaman Your hair is in a right old state
All you need is a Ford Cortina and some furry dice, mate
You could try Beckham's mohican
Now that's a lovely cut
Or even dye it ginger
Like those scrolls on Nicky's butt

Hey Dave bring on the Germans
Another mighty clash
Have a word with Rudi Völler
See who's got the biggest 'tache

Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Völler
Vorsprung Durch Technik or something or other
Little Michael Owen he put three past Ollie Kahn
He must have cried his eyes out down the autobahn

Ollie Ollie Ollie Oliver Kahn
Eins Zwei Drei Vier Funf that's five in German
Steven Gerrard crossed the German line
Winston Churchill would be proud as he put up the victory sign

Stevie Stevie Stevie Stevie Gerrard
He must be our man because he is well-hard
We could play that Jordan with her jelly bags
When we win the world-cup
She'll get them out for the lads

Sven Sven Sven's got her in his squad
He's even brought back Nobby Styles, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters and Ken Dodd
Ken Dodd?
Yeah well Gordon Banks doesn't exactly rhyme with squad does it
Can't say that it does...
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
He's a lovely geezer but don't forget that he's from Sweden
Don't forget that he's from Sweden
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson...

Songs in the street

And now I'm singing
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming
Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Rome
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see
Ince ready for war
Gazza good as before
Shearer certain to score
And Psycho screaming
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming
(Beautiful football by England,
Gazza oh that is majestic,
Alan Shearer,
Italy nil England nil and we're there in France 1998)
We can dance Nobby's dance
We could dance it in France
It's coming home

post appraisal post
ok
so my appraisal was on friday and it's now monday, but i'm still telling you what was said
fyi these things are supposed to be P&C so i'm not giving out details, it's just going to be a brief overview of what was said and how i felt it went
lots was said
i thought it went well
brief enough?
too brief...oh sorry
well there was a lot of positive feedback, although there was a question about my motivational issues, i cleared that up by stating that i only seem to get the smaller quotes and thus i am bored. it was also mentioned that my MD thinks i have a high intellectual capacity, so i'm guessing he thinks i'm cleverer than i let on...which may well be the case
there was only one issue that wasn't so good, but after clarification it's been turned into a positive.
in the future i'm going to be doing more H&S related things for the company, but someone somewhere has got to give me the stuff first (this is assuming that there is a company policy and procedures relating to H&S) and maybe next year i'll be put on a course as well...we shall see though
all in all though i found it to be a good meeting...and i didn't talk about pay, i don't like discussing pay during appraisals, an appraisal is about my abilities and my performance, not about the money i am on and the money i think i should be on...that topic is yet to be broached with the boss, although i'm past due a pay review.

in other news,
i'm still working on my 100 things...on number 33 at the moment...
weekend was good, nice weather and england won 6-0 against jamaica...but then that wasn't difficult...even with peter crouch missing a penalty (what a dumbass, even i could've scored then...and with my left foot!)
at the moment i'm doing a LOT of filing, no idea if there are any quotes that need to be looked at, if there are i've not been told or given them, so i'm mixing my time between cyberslacking (blogging) and sorting these files out
i'm hungry, but i can't eat anything for a while...stupid tablets!
that's about all for now

friday fun, the car aftermath and other things

friday is always fun day at the office, but today is a little different, today i have my first annual appraisal...which is going to be crap as i have no targets or anything like that to be appraised against, so i'm anticipating a short appraisal involving targets for the next year (should i still be here) and a brief review of this year...we shall see

after that it's pub time though...for lunch...but alas i'm not allowed to drink. you remember me being ill ast week and having 2 days off for it...the whole vomiting in the morning thing, just after breakfast...well i took my meds for the entire course, however, 2 days after the course finished i was sick again, at the same time as i had been before. this time when i went to the doc i saw a nice lady that i've been to before and i taught her kids to swim too. so she was very nice and chatted everything through with me, she thinks i'm producing too much stomach acid during the night prompting me to be sick in the morning when i eat something. now i'm on the anti-chunder tablets that i was on last week and now some more things that should stop me producing as much acid as well...we shall see, but i wasn't sick this morning, so that's a start i guess.

i've finally got my car back after over 2 weeks of having it in the garage and i'm acting as a go between for the garage that did the work and the garage that i got the car from. which is crap! at the moment i've got my car back, i've not got anything to pay with regards to the work done because it should all be covered under the warranty, however there is an issue with it somewhere along the line which is giving me strife still...someone needs to authorise something and someone else needs to pay someone for the work...but not me. so my question is why am i still being involved? it's wrong...just wrong

song for the weekend will be making a return at the end of the post

lack of HNT...sorry, but with he being sick and other things, i didn't feel like posting a pic this week, but i promise to post something next week...that piercing might be posted...but then again it might not, various people read this that might actually not want to see it, so i've got to weigh things up...what i might do is post it elsewhere and link it in on here...along with another pic for HNT on here...anyway, we'll see

i'm working on the 100 things post that various people have done a while ago...so that should be up at some point

went to see x-men the last stand on wednesday
i liked it, but there were still a few too many loose ends for my liking, but i think too many of the main characters died for them to make a decent sequel...however i've heard rumblings of a wolverine film, which could be fairly interesting
still waiting to see the davinci code. also saw a trailer for ghostrider...looks AWESOME and i really can't wait for that

song for the weekend:
ghostbusters by ray parker jr.

anyway best be off
laters peeps
