Out of shape

I’ve never been overly “in shape” but today I’ve twinged my left arm and it’s fucking killing me!

OW!

So, how are you?

So, how are you?

I’m having a bad couple of weeks…..

So far, my grandmother is still in hospital with severe breathing problems and other issues, my father and brother appear to have sparked an all out war between themselves, my girlfriend got onto her teaching course and because I was completely drained when she told me sparked a massive row between us (her solution being “if I’m such a problem I’ll take myself out of the equation”).

So, potentially if things continue I will be:

  • Back to just me & my dad at work.
  • Without a girlfriend.
  • Booking a funeral date in my diary.

Just to add on top of everything, I really want to buy myself that bloody router now, but can ill afford to part with the cash. Maybe I need to start flogging some shit on eBay?

Rubbish rubbish rubbish two weeks….. rubbish.

But it's only £200 quid

Been having myself a look at the Freecom FSG for the past couple of days.  Trying to convince myself that around £200 quid for a networked storage system that’s linux based and could potentially run bittorrent without the need for a PC to be on is worth the cash.

Ok I’m not really. I’m actually trying to stop myself from spending the £200 quid because I’m really liking the sound of this thing.

Anyone got any good suggestions how I might avoid deflating my wallet?

Tired

So very very tired….

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP PLEASE!

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 🙁

Revenge!

Ok, ok. This is bad. I’m actually playing my X-Box again! Burnout: Revenge has started to slowly take over my soul. The worst part is that I’m not even sure why. I mean, i’ve played about halfway through the game now and at worst got gold on my second attempt at a level, so there really is no challange… yet I keep playing!

Someone Help Me!

Cometh the hour, cometh the argument!

Jebus, I’m sick of arguing with people. Argument after argument after argument with no apparent end in sight is starting to become a fucking waking nightmare.

I almost prefer going onto IRC and just chatting shit with the others for no reason at all because at least if an argument breaks out there is a working /ignore function. Whoever designed people really should have given us the ability to totally ignore those that piss us off or piss us about!

Visited my grandmother (who’s in hospital at the moment) today. Couldn’t believe how fragile she looked. It’s a shitty Star Trek quote but the phrase “Time is the fire in which we burn” really sprung to mind today. I’m going to have to look out for my gran more.

The whole TheBoards.eu thing hasn’t really gone anywhere yet. Shame really because I was quietly looking forward to trying to get that up and running. I guess I will at some point!

Peace out peeps.
