the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!

we don't need no water let the m**********r burn!

ok some of you on facebook will have noted tha ti had the fire brigade out as stupid oclock on saturday morning
the story is simple
i went to bed around 2 in the morning (i usually do this because i'm still jacked from work), well just as i'm dropping off to sleep around 2.45, the smoke alarm goes off...
thing is, it wasn't my smoke alarm, it was the one belonging to the bloke downstairs...
i leave it thinking he'll turn it off shortly
after 5 minutes i think, hey that's going on a bit long, is he even there?
i have a look around my flat and out of the windows to see if there's any smoke
can't see anything or smell anything, so i head back to bed
after 15 minutes of this i'm getting a little pissed off, why hasn't the fucker turned his alarm off?
so i call the fire and police
while i'm on the phone to the police the firemen turn up, i've got to run down stairs and explain to them that although it's probably nothing, the bloke's alarm has been going of for over 20 minutes now
they poke around and have a look see if there's anything they can see and they see smoke
hanging a couple of feet off the ceiling
they bang on the door a couple of times and the bloke answers, apparently oblivious to either the smoke or the alarm!
although he was swaying a little making me htink he'd had a couple of beers

from what the firemen said, the bloke had thought it would be a good idea to get something to eat in his inebriated state. he put a pan on, some water in it and a spoon, and wandered off to sit down while the pan got to the boil.
he fell asleep
that kind of deep sleep you only get when you've had a few
and left the pan on
well the plastic handle of the spoon melted
and started smoking
which set the alarm off eventually
which kept me awake
which meant i called the fire peeps
and they sorted it out
so in a round about way i couldve saved this blokes life

has he spoken to me since?
hell no
not even a note through the letter box
dumb bastard!

anyway this week is a busy one for me
instead of the quiz on monday, me and the guys went to see a band called british sea power, it was ok, not great, but thennot really my thing to listen to
speaking of the pub, i've also bene made a duty manager, and the landlord told me that whatever i put down on an application form he'll back up as long as i tell him beforehand. the landlady then said that if they get paperwork asking for a reference they'll give me a bad one because they don't want me to leave!
tomorrow i've got an interview
a real live face to face one, with a test thing as well...yeah i must remember not to do so well on the test that they think i'll leave, but well enough to make them want to employ me!
and on friday, it's my worst day
i've got to go to the hospital to have my remaining wisdom teeth removed, which will involve bone chipping to get them out!
it does mean that i've got friday night off from the pub
and saturday too
but they want me back in time for sunday...

i've got a feeling that this might hurt though
but i'll be there...because as i keep telling people
I'M HARDCORE!!!

i've also got some money switched around at the moment for future plans
nothing more can be said at this time
but keep your eyes and ears open
news will be coming soon
i hope!

right i was going to bed half hour ago
night peeps
i might be back in the morning with a rush job HNT
we shall see though
Px

the sooner the better

the weather here is rubbish at the moment.
it's cold enough to snow, but it's not snowing, it's foggy and with the wind chill as well, it feels like it's -5C (or about 20F for those of you who prefer it that way)

I went out for a couple of beers last night and it was stupid cold on the walk to the pub, the walk home was ok because we'd had a couple of drinks though, but it was still bitterly cold.
but it was a good night out, in fact it was better than that, the northerner, the boag and myself went for a drink and a get together as it's been a while since we went out for one. we caught up, chatted rubbish and had a few beers. that to me is a decent night out
no stress
no pressure
no fuss
no hassle

anyway, there's another meeting to decide my future at this job next week, we should all know what's going on by the 14th at the very latest though...
still i've had a look for a couple of jobs, not many though. I was supposed to go to the second interview for the "sales and marketing" job yesterday, but i didn't go. I don't really want to go door to door asking people if they are happy with their energy suppliers and would they like to change to another one. I don't like the idea of standing around in shopping centres pushing satelite tv and personal health care solutions to people who really are not that interested and don't want to break stride to say no thanks, let alone stand and answer a couple of questions. so now i've got to have a think about what to do, but to be honest i'll have a look at a couple of places, all i need is a job to tide me over until i know what else might be happening, the bigger plans and all that...
the future is looking good

right
i'm done for today
i've got an afternoon at work and an evening working in the pub...i can't wait!

whinging wednesday

i thought of this title this morning
when things seemed grim and i struggled to stay awake in the van (think i did drop off at one point...but it was ok, i'm not driving at the moment, i'm learning a new run, so someone else was driving)

but it turns out i've had a pretty good day all in all

there'll be a video at the end...if i remember to post it...which i like

and there's some positive vibes flowing out as well...

anyway reasons to be cheerful
1) it's less than 3 weeks until my holiday :)
2) the non-job called today and the position that they wanted me in has been authorised, although i still don't have a start date, it's a step in the right direction
3) i'm feeling much more chilled out this week
4) non-job want me to go in tomorrow to have a chat about a few things related to the job, this means a sick day for the driving, which in turn means a bit of a lay-in for me :)
5) i won just under £50 at the weekend...cash...that was good
6) i did a shed load of hours at the pub last week, which means that i'll get a pile of cash this week, half of which will be saved and put towards spending money for the holiday
7) my new books arrived yesterday in the post from amazon...a whole day early, shame i'm still reading the last one though, but it does mean that i'll have a new book for the flight
8) at the quiz on monday, although i got a frosty reception at the bar (my ex was working it) everyone else there was pleased to see me, and we won the music round, and we had the overall highest score
9) seeing said ex on monday brought back no memories or bad feelings for me, in fact i was totally fine with it, leading me to believe that she didn't have as much as an effect on me as i apparently had on her
10) (yep that's right...10 reasons why i'm cheerful) this is the 3rd time i've blogged this week and although this is the first original blog, it feels good to get back into the swing of things, i've even got a HNT ready for tomorrow :)

see
i'm positive all over

now
on to the video
this video is from youtube, and is a UK advert for chocolate, cadbury's in fact, and it caused a big stir, it was talked about on the radio and in the papers...
it's really random
and has no obvious bearing on the product
but it's still cool and i like it...

anyway, that's me done for today
take it easy peeps,
laters,
Px

what a cock up

ok
so this morning i headed off to my new job
i got there at about 8
which was fine and about the right time
i sat and waited
and then saw one of the guys i knew who had helped get me the job
only to have him say he wasn't expecting me

fucking unbelievable!

it turns out that the guy who offered me the job and has been on holiday for the last 3 weeks and hadn't sorted things out
or let me know that he hadn't sorted them out!
when i was asked why i hadn't called anyone to see when i should be starting and all that, i just said that i'd only got this guy's mobile number and he was on holiday, and i was taking it all ok because he'd said it was fine and i should start today.
which is why i quit the other job

the bloke i spoke to today did say that they do want me to work there, but he needs to sort out a few things and then he'd call me...
he hasn't called today, so i'm expecting a call tomorrow now

i'm not panicking yet
just miffed about it
but i will run out of money if i'm not careful though...although my last pay packet from the driving job should be about 3 times the normal amount i've been getting because i never took any leave while i was there, so i'll get all my unclaimed leave in it too
so i should be ok for a while
i hope

anyway
does anyone want to give me a job? i'll do anything
laters

catching up

ok so i've got a few rants caged up inside me
#1
i want to bitch about pete doherty and amy winehouse
and the image that they are portraying
these two "superstars" have both been in the news recently way too much for drug use. so much so that the actions that they are taking almost glamourise their lifestyle of excessive drug use.
Pete doherty was recently arrested for posession, but because the numb-nut police who arrested him didn't process him and charge him in time (in the uk you have to charge someone within 24 hours of arresting them) he walked away. a month previous he was in court and was told that if he didn't clean up his act he would be imprisoned... so this time there was a lot of speculation about him going to prison.
but he didn't.
my theory is that he got off because he's famous
Amy winehouse has just spent a week in st lucia, after checking into and out of rehab several times this last week, being photographed with scratchmarks, needle tracks and blood on her shoes (alleged to be from injecting heroin between her toes). and what does every one do about it? talk about it. her in laws are suggesting that the public stop buying her records and that the people who sort out awards for artists (such as the mercury music prize which is being awarded in a big ceremony today, which she is supposed to be at) boycott her, her own father has been on the radio admitting that he's begged her to stop, but said that it didn't work. what are her record company doing about it? nothing! what are the police doing? nothing!
this kind of action...or rather non-action will only lead to kids believing that they'll be able to do the same.
fame can put you above the law apparently!

#2
fat people using motorised wheelchairs
these things are for people who can't walk, or elderly. i have no problem with pepole who need to use them because they have a legitimate medical reason. but the fat people who use them, is just wrong! get you fat lazy arses down to the gym, hell just walk to the damned shop instead of getting in the little cart thing...think about it the more they use the cart instead of walking, the fatter they will get!

#3
the police have fined me and given me 3 points on my driving license last week all because i was parked in the wrong place.
ok
i don't mind taking the points or the fine because i was in the wrong...but if where i was parked was as dangerous as the officer was making out, why did he leave me parked there a further 15 minutes while he wrote out all his paperwork? i even said to him should i move the van...he told me not to worry about it.
now that pissed me off...i mean ok, pull me up for parking illegally, fine me, give me points, but surely if i'm in such a bad parking place, let me move, hell, follow me to a decent, safe place to stop and give me all the shit then!

rants over
ok i'm starting my new job in under 2 weeks now :) that should be good
it'll be better than good thinking about it, it's going to be superb because i'll be getting my life back on track!
and in 6 weeks i'm going to be in america, more specifically, i'm going to be in georgia visiting lindsey and doing lots of touristy things while relaxing and having a good time
i can't wait
:)

apologies

i've been busy
last weekend i was at a party, so i didn't get a decent chance to blog
it was messy

this week has been really really busy...
but i had a school reunion that i'd organised on friday which was so much fun to see people again, shame that not everyone could make it though, but it was awesome to see the people that were there :)
then last night i hung out with a couple of friends again, both nights were late ones though, friday was 4am, saturday was 5am...

other news, i've got a new job
and basically things are on the up :)
positive Px
can you believe that :)
anyway i've gotta head off to work...
catch up soon, i promise

sleepy sunday stuff

ok i'm not being very good at the blogger thing at the moment
i'm not posting very often and i'm checking other people's blogs even less...
however i have had a quick trek through blogs today and doing the comments thing where i thought i had something to say

anyway that aside
life for me has been pretty good
very quiet weekend, nice and chilled...

friday the weather took a turn for the worse...but seeing as i was away overnight with work i didn't know about it. it took me over 5 hours to get back to the depot, a trip that normally take 3 hours. part of this was on the motorway, which was closed due to being underwater... part of it was because the village where the depot is and the pub where i work is had a river flowing down the high street...
i was supposed to have started work at 6 in the pub, i drove past it at half 7, i called the boss to say that i could get back if he needed me to, but it would be in the van because my car wouldn't get through the flood... and seeing as the pub carpark was underwater it was going to be a bit of a nightmare. he said not to worry about it because there was 3 inches of water in the kitchen and although the pub was open, it was really quiet because no-one could get there!
so i went out and had a few drinks instead...got in sometime around half 2 in the morning...it was good
spent all day yesterday chillling with films again, watched ghost rider (very cool), anchorman (funny) and xxx2 which i've still got to finish
i also played guitar hero again for about 2 hours... there's just something about the game that means you can't sit down and play it, you just have to be standing up
it's uber cool though
yeah, then i went out drinking again...although i wasn't as late home and i didn't drink as much last night either
but it was needed that i went out and managed to blow off a little steam

before you ask, i've still not got my hands on a copy of the new potter book...i've been waiting to let the stupid numbers of people queuing to buy the book die down a bit, which i know means that others of you out there will have read it, so please don't be spoiling it for me otherwise there will be an ass whooping heading your way!

take care peeps
Laters
Px

a whole big pile of randomness

ok
i've got half hour before i need to leave to go to the pub for work...

anyway, that aside, i've got to air a few things
work:
on thursday i went to work...the white van job...only to find that the lorry that delivers to us was running late, i normally leave the depot around half 5 in the morning, that day i left 2 hours late because after the lorry. and the fact that mine was one of the last on the lorry...partly because i'd hepled everyone else ot load up their vans and they'd all buggered off without helping anyone else! so i get to what would be my usual first drop 3 hours after i normally do...i spent the rest of the day trying to catch up with myself so that all the normal stores got their drops when they usually do...i managed it, but i skipped every store that didn't have a delivery. then on friday, breakfast was late as usual, i'm getting fed up with that, but when i went down to my van, the tyre had gone down overnight! i kicked the wheel out of frustration. i found the jack from in the van and the spare tyre (the jack wasn't big enough, the spare is going bald) not that it mattered because once i'd undone all the wheel nuts, i still couldn't get the wheel off the van. i had to call my boss to get someone out to me to help me to take the wheel off...when that bloke eventually got to me i was already 90 minutes late again!! and i'd wrecked my jeans because the jack was covered in oil and it was raining.
enough said!

pub work:
it's going ok...
but only ok
i was late on friday because of the other job
but it wasn't that busy

car:
it's going still running
which is a good thing

i bought guitar hero 2 the other day :)
i've not had chance to play it yet though

i also bought a few dvds, not had time to watch them yet either...

i had a long chat with linny last night
that was awesome :)
and she's finally signed up to facebook too...

getting quite a few people chatting to me on facebook, it's great because some i've not spoken to since 2000 or there abouts

anyway it's nearly time for me to head to work, i need a shave and a wash before i head off too
so laters peeps
Px

oi!

ok first things first...the image of me in the previous post (my HNT) is NOT my ass/fanny/behind/hinney/butt/arse/backside/bum...it's the crook of my elbow...
it just goes to show that you people are all a little pervy!!!

not doing too great at the moment
in fact i'm really pissed off with a lot of things
my car...not only have i spent over £1000 in the past month trying to get it sorted, but now the battery is completely flat and the alternator is buggered...i broke down twice today trying to get home from work...a journey that is only about 5 miles...if that. the battery was so flat that i couldn't even put on my hazard warning lights...
i am truly pissed off with the fucking machine
so this leads me to my next thing to be pissed off with...
i go back to my mum's to collect my bike, thinking that in the meantime i can use this to get me around...only to find the fucking thing has a puncture...how fucking typical is that?
bastard thing
i'm pissed off with the traffic warden who gave me a ticket this morning for being parked in a taxi rank but let 3 other vehicles off for delivering to shops in a pedestrianised zone out of the regulated hours (i.e. after 10am), in fairness i shouldn't have parked in the taxi rank and paid the ticket without worrying about it
i'm pissed off with my job and working all the hours that which ever god i've pissed off this time is sending...at last count i'm averaging 70 hours a week, at least 2 nights a week i get about 5 hours sleep before i'm up again and struggling to get ready for the next job. factor into this that i'm away with work 2 nights a week too, i rarely spent anytime at my home...and pretty much the only time i see my housemate is during our weekly salsa class...yes i am finally learning to dance the salsa, no it's not the tango that i thought i might be learning at the start of the year, no it's not with tango girl, yes i've not mentioned her in a while, no i'm not interested there anymore

there's a shit load of other little things that are pissing me off no end too...but they're all trivial little things, like the people who drive along in the middle lane of the motorway all the time, regardless of the fact that they're not overtaking anything and refuse to move across into the outside lane (fast lane) when i want to pull out to overtake something in my van, even though that lane is clear

generally not having a good time at the moment
would love dearly to just run away
far away
but i can't
i have responsibilities

by the way, i've been tagged in a couple of pics on facebook (for those of you with it) they're pics of me with jay and silent bob...my dragons, not the kevin smith creations...so you can see them up there.

whinge over

proof

i'm still alive :)

i've not been about much and i've still not sorted the phone line or anything in the new place, although i'll be dealing with that this week hopefully

went out last night and it got very messy
i got very drunk
it was an awesome night out though
but very very messy

felt it this morning when i got up

anyway work is a bit mental
but it's nice to be working
and on a monday and thursday evening it's nice ot be able to sit at the beach and eat my fish and chips or whatever take away i'm having that night :)
the pub work is going well too

on the pub front i passed the exam i tok about 3 weeks ago which means i can now apply to hold a personal license, which is just another step on the ladder to running a pub :)

still thinking about where i should go on holiday this year...probably end up going someplace in the uk at this rate...and only for the day!

anyway peeps, it's lunch time and i've got to go and mow the lawn for my mum too, so i'll catch up with you all sometime soon i promise
and linny, i've read your email, i'll reply in the week if i get time, but love and hugs are going out to you

disjointed ramblings

lots of little bits and pieces today i guess

i got one easter egg...that was nice :) not eaten it all yet, in fact i only just started it today
(there's a pic of me and it over at the 365 place)

had to work yesterday even though it was a bank holiday and all of the independent places that i should've delivered to were shut, hell half the other stores weren't prepared for me either! everywhere i went yesterday didn't have any returns, nor did anywhere i was at today either apart from 2 places...

i spent yesterday afternoon on the beach...it was a stoney beach though so i didn't get sand anywhere thankfully :)

keep driving past heathrow airport, it's really making me want a holiday! (suggestions still welcome)

i miss doing the quiz :(
but work takes precedence

i've got that cold again :(
it looks like i'm not going to shake it until hayfever season kicks in with avengence and then i'll be plagued by that too...
dammit!

i move this weekend, i've not even thought about packing anything up, gave the ex some boxes for her to pack my stuff into, think it pissed her off a little that i'm moving and want all my furniture and saucepans and crockery and kitchen stuff and all that...but she knew i'd find someplace eventually and that i'd want it all when i did.

got sent a sound clip of a friend of mine singing a song by paulo nutini last night, it was really good, although she'll hate me for saying that, she's made me promise that i won't play it to anyone. i keep my promises
sorry, i want people to hear it

i bought season 2 of lost the other day (didn't watch it when it was on the tv because the ex couldn't understand it and wanted me to tell her what was going on or change channels all the time) started watching that last night in the hotel (the rooms have all got tv/dvd players :)

also bought myself a PSP yesterday, i had some spare cash sloshing around and though it would be something of a treat and it'll keep me entertained while i'm away for work...which is did this morning while i waited 45 minutes for a shop to open...

apart from being ill again, life isn't doing too badly :)
hope everyone had a great easter
i promise to be over ot everyone's blogs this week if i can...

good friday good times

today i slept in and it was good
yesterday i worked from 5am to 9pm behind the wheel all day
things have been a bit mental this week what with working 2 jobs!

anyway, it's good friday which means that i've got the day off
so i'm going to head out on my bike this afternoon :)

right...i'm sure there's loads of things i've got to up date everyone on, but i can't remember anything for it :(
ok the lack of HNT was made up for, i did actually HNT over on the HNT anon site...PLEASE don't comment mentioning my name as it's the ANONYMOUS site...you must also note that this is a NSFW page...you were warned!

ok seeing as it's friday i'm giving you a massive tune this week, this has been getting a shed load of airtime over the last couple of weeks and it's awesome!
it's also a brilliant commentary on life...just push play and give it a listen, seriously it's worth it!
enjoy :)
i give you "thou shalt always kill" by dan le sac vs scroobius pip

right it's nice and sunny here, so i'm going to head off and enjoy the long weekend.
have a good easter peeps
catch up with you all soon :)

the weird czech guy

he sat there the other day eating a green pepper (capsicum/bell pepper) like it was an apple...

he was weird

anyway i went out today on my own again and it's odd...when i'm on my own in the van things are ok
all except for the stupid satnav...which today said i was off-roading (in a van, doing 60mph)
don't you just love it when people don't update things for you?

anyway, i heard back from the job interview i had last week, they chose someone with more accounts experience...fair do's, i don't mind
i spoke to the landlord yesterday, he got rid ot the new chef at the weekend, and i told him that seeing as i was seriously considering getting into the trade a lot more i was interested in the chef's position...he's waiting to hear back from someone else first, but thinks i could do it easily... i'll keep you posted on that

hi to anyone who's ventured over from facebook, leave a comment!

i'm not going to be able to HNT tomorrow, until late in the day...although there's a chance that i might appear on a different site in true HNT fashion...more on that later too

right i'm shattered, but i need to jump in the shower and get my butt in gear as i'm at the pub again tonight...all this work, and all i'm thinking about now is the money...give it to me!
dammit now!

anyway, i'm off to get clean and fresh
laters peeps, take care
Px

PS i'm still open to suggestions for holiday destinations...although i have an idea that might work...more on that too later...

sweet release

it's sunday and i've lept really well the last two nights
it's been bliss
and better than that i've managed to go out both nights and have a good time while only having 2 pints...

so friday night i was supposed to be going out with mates from the pub, we were going into abingdon...but at the same time we were starting in abingdon...which is confusing i'm sure.
anyway i've been taking all sorts of tablets to try and ease this cold away, none have really been working much, but it is getting better... so due to this and the fact that i wasn't really in the mood, i drove over and thought that maybe if ihave a few drinks then i'll kip on the sofa again, or i could drive home later. i chose the latter
i got called weak through facebook because i didn't go out all night...which is fair enough, i called the guy weak last weekend for the same reason...lol

then last night i met up with my soon to be housemate and had a drink with her
she's getting very excited at the prospect that we're becoming housemates, and to be honest i'm looking forwad to it too. she's going to help me find a woman by vetting any that i introduce to her, so i think i'm going to add that into the plan!
we also joked about having dinner parties and things like that, you know, generally being civilised and cultured adults...yeah i can hear you all laughing from here...

get this too, i spent 3 hours emptying the loft yesterday, rooting through years and years worth of rubbish, or treasure depending on how you look at it. i found records, vinyl 7", 10" and 12" stuff dating back to the early 60's if not a little older. i found a record player from the same era that i'm dying to fix and see if i can get it working again...think of the money i could make from these things!!!
i also found my old school reports from when i was like 7...how freaky is that? according to one report at the age of 7 i have a reading age of 9 and a half...see i was intellegent at one point!

anyway, seeing as it's sunday, i've got roast dinner today :) and it's not going to be long, so i'm going to sign off in a minute...
just a warning, because this driving job is proper rubbish, it's unlikely that i'll be blogging on a daily basis any more :( and seeing that this week i've agreed to do a stupid amount of cover at the pub as well, i'm not sure when i'll be able to blog...however when i get my new home (under 2 weeks now) and get it up and running and will likely blog whenever i can...

right, hope you're all enjoying your weekend
take care
Px

Addendum
i forgot to say that even though i'm not going to be blogging every day i will still take a pic of myself every day and post them over on The 365 P(roject)X in bulk when i next can get online

one last thing, i found this on youtube...it was done for comic relief the other week, and because i missed it, i searched youtube for it and now i'm going to share it because it's AWESOME!
enjoy

friday funtimes

ok so its friday
i've done the course
and i've done the first week as a white van man
and in all honesty i can say that the course was by far the more interesting of the pair!

and i've seen the wrong side of 7am more times this week than i'd like to mention...
and i've also seen the wrong side of midnight most nights as well

still it's all for the plan

you remember the plan right?
get job
get house
have holiday
(have abridged the plan slightly and ignored previous plans which had a step 4 which was get woman, this has been put on hold until i've decided that it's time that it should go back on there as i'm having as much trouble as you are keeping up to date with my own whims...)

anyway
i can now check off the first item
and seeing as i shall be moving in just over 2 weeks, i'll soon be checking off the second one as well
once they are out of the way and i've got things settled with the job front (i reckon about a month to six weeks) i'll start thinking about where to go on holiday too...
i'm thinking a return to the states might be good
i'm also thinking about doing something different though, so something like a trekking holiday somewhere hot and where i can do stuff other than get drunk and get sunburnt

anyway i've not had much in the way of interesting things happen to me this week
although at the course yesterday we had a 40 minutes examination at the end of the day, it was one of them multiple guess question papers... i finished in 10 minutes and got up and left much to the shock/horror of other people in the room... i was allowed to, before you all think anything else... anyway hopefully next week i'll find out if i can apply for my personal license (which will legally allow me to sell and authorise the sale of alcohol within a designated premises (which must also have a license)) and from there i'm going to look into getting into the pub trade properly, you know, actually running my own pub
i think i could do that and i'd enjoy it too...

right then peeps

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

it's monday

and i'm feeling a little better about things

although i've got a hell of a story to tell you all about my first day in the new job...think i might save it though...you'll laugh, trust me you WILL laugh!

anyway i've been driving all day and i'm shattered, but it's quiz night and i'm always up for a bit of that...
anyway peeps, i just winged in to let you all know that i'm ok really, i think i'd just had a bit of a pants weekend and let myself over think things that i really am not that bothered about normally!

life is for living and that's now part of the plan :)

hope you're al starting the week well :)
take care

that friday feeling

ok it's friday, yesterday was a nice and chilled day for me, i didn't work last night in the pub and well, pretty much everything i did yesterday was chilled and relaxed :)
i sat back and watched my name is earl, i'm now about half way through season one and i think it's awesome, i sat and watched some of the special features as well. i think it's an awesome show and i'm gutted i missed so many of them when they were shown on TV...anyway 'm making up for it now :)
also watched casino royale, the latest bond films, and i've got to say i was suitably surprised, i enjoyed it loads. they made a load of references back to the older bonds, including the nice use of an old aston martin and the sexual innuendo laden names (although i can't remember what it was that he called her now...) and for being an institution, the blond bond did himself proud. it also helped out with a few things that me and a couple of mates have discussed in the past (like why there can be some many different bonds and all that...we came up with it being a code name that's passed around a bit...seems logical now too)
today i went into the printshop and did some work, but the amount that was in would've taken the old guy most of the day and probably some of monday too...but it took me 3 hours, and seeing as there was nothing else left for me to do i packed up and finished for the day :)
i think i'm going to go in on tuesday over there and finish up a couple of things and then i'm all done as i start a full time driving job on monday (not working tuesday because i've got to go to the dentist and i've got an interview late in the afternoon, not working thursday either because i'm going on a course to get my personal license for the pub :) )
should also hear back in monday as to if i've been successful with the rental application, which could mean that this time next week i'm flapping around trying to make sure that i've packed everything ready for moving...
fingers crossed :)

ok
song for the weekend is inspired bu tthe fact that my plan is coming together nicely and i loved it as a kid...

I just love it when a plan comes together :)

take it easy peeps, have a good weekend and enjoy yourselves :)
i'm off to a gig to see beneva this weekend, should be good
and tonight i'm off to give my liver another merciless beating

ok lodas to report, things that i've been sitting on a while
ok maybe a while is a little bit of an exaggeration
things that i've been sitting on since tuesday...
1.) i have a full time job...the driving one that i was on about yesterday. this is a full time job, that's the important bit. the print shop work isn't full time, and as such wasn't helping things out as much as i'd have liked. however, i'm going to keep doing some work for the print shop on an ad hoc basis because it's fun work and it's not like i can't do it :)
2.) i've found a flat to live in, and although it's a bit on the less desirable side of things, once it's been made a little homely i'm sure it'll be fine. and i've got a flat mate to live there as well, making things a little easier for both of us :)
3.) things on the woman front are as always a little weird, i think that there's a possibility of someone coming along and things will be ok...but we shall see what happens there, i'mnot holding my breath though

so all in all the plan looks to be going ahead :)
wuhoo!!
anyway that's all really, i promise something fun for tomorrow peeps :)
take care

reporting in for some monday madness

ok i've spent most of the day pissing around using a MAC :(
but generally the new job was ok, they're paying me and i've got at least 3 days a week for about 3 months...which will give me plenty of time to look for a job on the other two days, and also give me a chance to slot in interviews without having to take time off :)
i text woja this morning to say that the new job was crap
in fairness it was mainly because i was cold (no heating on in the office for some dumbass reason) and the guy showing me the ropes is self taught and doesn't like the idea that things can be done in other ways...ways that i'm used to doing them...which are a little quicker and more intuiative. anyway, once i got settled into it andcracked on with things it was pretty good, i felt as though i was accomplishing things and when i'm in next it'll be better because the guy who was showing me the ropes is on longterm sick as of tomorrow.
the only issues i've got are it's only 3 days a week and the money isn't great.
but like i said, it's income and it's also giving me time to look for other jobs and do other things in the meantime :)

it's quiz night
linny be warned :)

there seemed to be some confusion over an answer in the previous post/meme in "girlfridn/boyfriend" i answered with "i think so"...
this means that it's not something we've discussed...as in what out relationship is...at the moment it's just a lot of texting and trying to arrange time to meet up again, and a lot of flirting and getting to know one another
it's early days people, too early to decide if it's she's a girlfriend...

i watched 4 films over the weekend...i suspect that i'll be commenting on all of them at some point (probably tomorrow)

the new chef started last night, i felt a bit sorry for him, i invited him out to the bar after he'd finished for a pint in the hopes that some of the locals would chat to him and all that, but even the landlord hardly said a word to him while he was out there...but he seems nice enough, just a little shy

saturday night at the pub was stupidly busy, we took a shed load of money and were fully booked for meals and it was mental trying to keep up with what was going on in there...

i'm sure there was something else i was going to go on about, but it gone straight out of my mind now

i'm edging very close to the 500 posts mark (i think this one is #497!!!)
what should i do to celebrate my big 500?

anyway peeps, i'm done for the day, hope you're all having a good start to the week
