Time to learn how to drive

Sitting here having just visited my grandmother in hospital i’m starting to realise that it’s about time i learnt to drive. So far i’ve wasted 30 minutes i could have spent visiting my gran sitting at a bus stop waiting.

Of course it’s been so long now that visiting hours are over so i can’t even go back to see my gran just to pass some time. Even more fun is the pack of jokers who have now turned up and are bashing into the bus stop itself. It’s about time some form of compulsory sterilisation was put into place.

Finally a bus turns up. As usual these days it comes complete with a MOBO Dj in training, i.e. someone with a mobile who has no music taste and is too stupid to figure out how to use the free headphones that they got with it.

Why is it always a bad sean paul track or remix?
Is it possible to have bus rage?
Who knows. More later.

Where there's muck there's money!

This morning would have to qualify as “one of those days”.

Started off in Norwood to meet a chap from thames water. Whilst waiting for him i got to watch the drains slowly back up towards our office door (Note to self: Do not buy a basement flat!).

I have to confess that it’s days like today that make me understand how difficult life with these companies is going to be.

It’s all very well but it’s frankly a very solitary existence. I mean my dad might not realise it but at least with me in his corner there’s someone trying to back him up. Who’s gonna be there to get my back in the years to come?

It’s all a bit depressing really. It also makes me realise that i need to train up as something so that i have an income stream that is independent of the companies. Starting to think that i should probably explore bookkeeping as an option in a little more detail as it’s not overly taxing, i can learn it in tandem with work and i think it’s something i could handle. On the down side though i think i’d need to get my glasses back in order to qualify!

Hopefully you all are having better starts to your days!

That's a good point

A good buddy of mine just pointed out on his blog that the saying “Grab life by the balls” is sexist. And ya know what, he’s got a point, not cool 🙁
