my first day

ok, so yesterday i embarked upon the career of being a white van man
yep, that's right, i'm now a multi drop delivery driver...
sounds exciting doesn't it!

it's not really

anyway yesterday was my first day i was due to spend it as basically a drivers mate with a guy called roger, this was so that i could learn about the paperwork and other such things, that was all.
as me and roger left the depot he got a call because one of the other drivers had called in sick...typical right?
well seeing as i was the only other preson around, i did his run
on my own

i wasn't overly sure where i was supposed to be going, but i had a road map and that was good enough for me
i got to the first drop and clipped a lexus while trying to park up
can you believe it, not only am i on my own, but i've hit an expensive car!
typical right
anyway i was writing a note to say that i'd hit the car and to contact my boss (i'd called him and told him too) when the guy who owned it showed up, he was actually fairly nice about the who situation, considering i'd just busted his light up nicely!
and after all this the first drop was closed anyway!

the rest of the day wasn't too bad, the boss called me just after i'd filled the van up to remind me that they took diesil and not petrol...i'd already worked this one out though, so that was ok, but as i was trying to pay for it (with the fuel card...not my money) it took 3 attempts to get the card to work

last night was quiz night
it was a good laugh, we didn't win anything
i told the girl that i worked the shift with last week that she had to come along, she did and she joined the bar team (not my team unless i'm working) but kept popping round to see me whenever the rounds had finished...she's quite nice :)

still no word on the flat yet, but i've got my fingers crossed, i'll call them later today if i've not heard anything

went to the dentist today again to have another 2 of the fillings done... got one more appointment to go to in a couple of weeks and then i should be all sorted for the time being.
half of my face is numb at the moment and as it's slowly coming round it feels like it's burning and it's really sore :(
still i've been a big brave boy again and all that, i'm conquering my fear slowly
i'll get there in the end :)

right i've got an interview this afternoon, hopefully my face will have come round by then, so i should go and start thinking about what i need to say there.

ps not in the TMI mood today

friday funtime

hey hey peeps
how's it all going with you all?
things with me are not too bad at all
i think i've conquered my fear of the dentist...so life is all good
although my mouth is really sore today (it's not the only bit of my that's sore, but more on that in a minute...)
so i had my 2nd wisdom tooth out yesterday and one of the 5 fillings that i need done. only one because basically i have that many issues with the dentist that i hate going and usually when i need to have work done i have to be sedated...but in trying to get over this i went in yesterday and had the work done without sedation...just the local needle thingy and that's it
and i coped quite well :)
just aches today because of the removal...

anyway, my backside is sore!
now there's a decent reason for this...
i bought myself a new bike, and i rode the 5 miles to work this morning
it felt good, although my arse hurts because i've not been on a bike for about 5 years! and i'm unfit, so the plan is to cycle as often as possible as in attempt to save money and get fit...
all good :)

now at the start of the week i wasn't feeling myself, i was feeling a little blue and i've been a quiet as a result. but, i'm getting through it ok and well i've had this with me all week too, sad i know, but it's kinda made me feel better :) now...
the eagle-eyed of you may have noticed yestrerday that a new link was added to the site...for the 365 P(roject)X which is basically just me joining in with some things that other people are doing. basically i'll be putting up a pick of myself every day that i'll take on that day...it's not like HNT, these are going to solely be portraits, i may have a play with them when i get more into photoshop...but at the moment they're just being taken using my phone

ok finally
song for the weekend
i've had a couple of choices this week, ranging from songs by the monkees (in honour of the above for helping me get through the week to this, which i thought was the most appropriate:

Ok that's me done for the day (i think)

if i don't see your again, have a good weekend peeps

like a pair of good jeans

this is 501 :)

ok peeps i've not been feeling too great this week, unknown reasons, well unknown to some, known to me. add to that the new schedule of being busy with work...yeah that's the thing that i've not done for a while, but i'm back in it now. a visit to the dentist and an interview...that's lead to a lack of blogging this week...however i should be back to normal next week with i'm hoping a daily blog post...but we shall see

anyway
interview...
this was on wednesday morning, it's for a sports centre that's not even built yet...so this was literally just a find out a bit more about me and see what jobs i could do at the centre kind of interview...
it seemed to go pretty well though, i talked a lot, but then that's what this interview was all about...me :)
it'll be a couple of months until i find out what's going on there though...

dentist
was wednesday afternoon, bit of a follow up to last weeks emergency appointment and a check up (needed because i don't like going to the dentist and it's been about 2 years since i last went...)
unfortunately he told me that he wants to take out my other wisdom tooth from the top jaw...there's a couple of fillings as well, these were expected. but worse still was that he's got to refer me to the hospital to have my other wisdom tooth out because it's growing the wrong way and it's so bad that he can't do it himself...
see i'm not a fan of the dentist and it's things like this that make it worse
:(

was going to post a song for the weekend that was about going to the dentist, but i couldn't find teethgrinder by therapy? anywhere...that was until i tried youtube ;)
(i'm going to have to look there more often for songs for a friday)
anyway this song is cool, it's an old track, at least 10 years ago now, and it reminds me of the time when i was first into metal and was looking at all the bands around with opened awe



anyway have a good weekend peeps, i'm working all day tomorrow at the pub, but i'll try and call in with you all at some point over the weekend :)
oh and natalia, thanks for the info on the sitemeter thing, have my own now...curious as to why someone would look up blowjob chunder and get me as top of the list...anyway...it's also shwon up a few other things, i can now tell where people are from easier...which means that for some places i can guess who that person is...like the view hiding out there who's checked in from wangen in germany...

funky friday

no that doesn't mean i'm in a funk
quite the opposte really...which is odd considering the night and morning i've just had

ok lets break it down again
job front
i've got a job working with a local printing company doing the CAD work for them for 3 months, that's not to say i've stopped looking for a job though because if something else comes up then i'll be looking at taking that... anyway basically the owner of the company is having to go on sick leave from tuesday for at least 3 months, and the other guy that works there isn't very good with a pc, so i've been brought in to do it instead
it's work, it's money coming in and it's experience in yet another field
another string to my bow if you will...

last night
it was busy in the pub, but that wasn't that unusual, it's been slowly getting busier this year, and besides that was helping me take my mind off the growing pain i was getting in my face. it wasn't just a tooth ache, but most of the upper right jaw was aching. when i got in i thought it'd go away after a while, but at half 3 this morning, i was still awake, so i took some pain killers, they kinda kicked in about an hour later and i must've dropped off to sleep for a while around half 4. i woke up about an hour later and the pain was back :( i slept on and off form then until about 8. i called the dentist and got an emergency slot to go and have them have a look. i was in the dentist for about 2 hours in total because they were trying to fit me in around the other people they'd got booked in for this morning, this wasn't too hot because i was due at work at half 9 this morning, which was the time that i arrived at the dentist's...so after a few x-rays and a poke around the bloke said that my wisdom tooth was showing a lot of signs of decay and the x-ray showed that the nerve was decayed which was why half of my face hurt...
i hate the dentist
i don't like going and for me to walk in there this morning like i did and feel fine for most of the time was a shock to me, it wasn't until they said that i'd need to have the tooth pulled out that i started to feel bad, especially when they said they would do it there and then because if i was to have the sedation that i normally have, it could be a couple of weeks before i'd get it done. so i sucked it up and had it pulled without the sedation, only the normal injections.
and it was pretty painless :)
very weird sensation
and the dental nurse held my hand the whole time
and the dentist kept commenting on the "weird" noises that he'd warned me about, but i tried to shut them out (fairly successfully too)
anyway i went to work just in time to get the rush on for lunchtime, thankfully someone had been kind enough to set my area up and prep all the stuff too :)

anyway becase i'm in such a good mood i've chosen something a little funky to listen too...but i just think it's such a bouncy tune and very cool. i'm giving you the video today so please watch it, the idea behind it was that the band emailed everyone on their website's mailing list and asked for home videos so the fans singing along and dancing to the track...they came up with this...
the best bits are the two asian guys, the little boys with his toy drum kit and the weird bloke who points at his bed before jumping on it. the girl in blue is a little weird with her video bits though
anyway i give you Just A Day by Feeder:


for those not around, have a good weekend
for everyone else, hopefully i'll see you tomorrow
