5 minutes.

That was al it took for me to put my foot into three times.

The first and second ones I could deal with, the third was quite careless on my part.
I was taking some food out from the fridge. We have these trolleys with plastic trays that can be stacked on top of each other. These were stacked high, and as I pulled them out and down the ramp. Crash!

All over the floor.

Me being the clever all inteligent one quickly said "Who the hell stacked these!" To which the immediate reply from the lady who was in the room said "Me, this is my section!"

!

Woopsy doodle. I made a note to zip my lips during those times...

Although, there was one that wasn't latched properly and it did bend. Although that might have happened after the fall. In any case, I upset the lady. This may or may not come back to bite me in the bottom.

Fortunatley the day went ever so quick. I blinked and it was gone. James agreed in the changing room before we left that it had gone quickly today.

Well, it's 11:49pm and I think I'll get ready for bed.

Night all, buono notte, wan an.

Work again, sorry, I meant blerk.

Things will be different come next week. All the xmas gang will be gone. I will remain. I wonder what it will be like afterwards.

I'm not in the mood at all to go into work. I wish I'd start earlier, I've really got to sink my teeth into these things from the word go. Otherwise my brain just focuses on the inevitable.

Well, it's going to happen. Nothing will alter that now and it is as it is meant to happen I'm sure. I'll take some refuge in that.
I will be echeolns happier when I transfer closer to home and I start work earl in the morning. That will be great.

Hopefully, in time, all will be provided that allows for it.

I've started setting mt alarm to wake me up for 8am. I cannot stand this late night stay up I've gotten into. 9:45am I wake up, it's terrible. I hate it, I feel like my day has mostly gone. So, 8am is a nice compromise. I'll adjust in no time. It'll feel a bit like jet lag.

I also have to find out about booking my holiday. I have some things I need to find out as well.

Anyway, back to my day and killing time before blerk. I cannot wait to change that. Mornings work, afternoon home, then I can really get cracking. Teach, impro performng, enjoy the afternoon. That would be fantastic.

That's what I'm hoping for now.

Ciao.

It's pretty acurate.

Another thing to keep my mind busy.

The internet just keeps getting better and better. I love technology.



One medium.

Is all we will have in a few years. I feel sure. There will still be regular t.v. and stuff. But I'm certain the internet will become all encompassing.



It's excellent.

What a great age to live in.

A good ole bloke.

Cheers Andrew.

I do love London, it's my home, it's where I feel most at ease. I've only been to the states once and that is something I want to rectify at some point in my future. I want to see New York again. Mmm...

I also want to travel and get to see the rest of the states, just so I can sing that Johnny Cash song.

Yeah, Eastenders. Urgh... the epitomy of the lowest notions of our telivised culture. I hate it. But apparently many people here like that sort of thing. Not me though. I like a good documentary. Or a comedy, something we do quite well I feel.

Andrew, if you haven't yet, look up the 'Goodies'. It's an old one, out on DVD now, but by heck is it a good one. Our humour at it's best.

Anyway, back to my thoughts at hand.

Next month, Feburary is going to be a juggled month for me. My mate is coming from Strabane, he'll be here for a week.

Also, my girlfriend I left in China will be coming to the uk that month for two weeks. She won the English speaking competition in Beijing.

I want to see her, she wants to see me. I don't know if we can pick up where we left off, it's been a while. But I want to see her and find out whats there. I also have no way of knowing if she will be able to return after this brief two weeks. She might get the opportunity to study here if she wants. She won the competition, so odd's are favourable. But as ever, it's a difficult situation over there.

I'm also not sure how succesful I'll be at juggling work, if I can get a holiday booked or I chuck a sickie. I have no idea if she'll be hand led around the place, or she'll have some autonomy. I don't know. But she'll be here with two other winners.

I just hope that things coincide well and that we can enjoy some days together. I want to see how things are between us. But, I really don't know. I almost feel like I'm reaching for this because I feel I have little else. We'll see though.

All in time will become clear, better or worse.

I just need to find out the when's and where's. Then do the best I can. But first I must find out abot holidays. So I'll ask them tomorrow, when I'm back at Blerk. That's what I'm going to call work now. Blerk. I don't like blerk at the moment, blerks getting in the way.

OUT OF MY WAY BLERK!

Children of men.

I love it, I still love it. Bought it on DVD today. Very pleased I did, such a great film. I still don't like the premise of the film, but it still grabs me and makes me feel for the characters and the struggle. Really well done.

If you still haven't seen it, please rent it or buy it. It's brilliant.

I also bought 'The Curse of Monkey Island', and have been trying to get the scummvm to work. That's the little bit of software that makes the game playable on the latest computers.

I think I'll have to read the instructions a little more carefully, as I'm generally not very good at doing that in the first place. I just try and bash out my understanding by pressing buttons and stuff. A very thug/bloke ish attitude I suppose. But I'm a simple guy at heart.

I also saw, whilst at hmv, that they now have Thundercats on DVD. I was almost swayed to buy, but best thought to leave the childhood behind. Except in the case of the new Transformers movie. Which I will be seeing. Nothing will keep me from it.

Oh yeah, before I forget. They've introduced a new anti theft device for the DVD boxes. It makes it neigh on impossible to take the DVD out of the case. I almost broke it trying to achieve this feat. That's both the case and DVD. Boy was cross.
They went a bit too nuts on the whole anti theft prevention. A consumer even has trouble getting it out now.

If you see a red bit of plastic on the right side of the box holding it shut. You've been warned. It took me a good ten minutes to get it out, without breaking it.

Anyway, I'll be seeing my nan tomorrow for my last two days off in a row for a time to come. Blurgh!

I hate work, but I like money. What do you do?

Two days off.

A proper weekend. Lovely. It's even remembered to rain, bless.

So I'm going to go for a walk and buy a few little things. This weeks New Scientist and perhaps get myself some DVDs as well.

I have little else to enjoy whilst work is afoot.

I'm also going to get myself a subway sub. Yummy.

See you all later.

Days go by.

That's it really, and I make a bit of cash.

As we all pass through this void of stuff, twirling and spinning and seeing more stuff on the way and saying, I want a bit of that and then being completely blown the other way. It can all get a bit depressing and dull. I miss my freedom.

I was poor in pocket, but rich in something other than that. I can't quite say though.



It was nice. I appreciated it whilst it was there. It's why I work now. I want a little more freedom. It will come, I'm just going to to have to pass through a few more dull days before that time.

I don't know what life wants out of me, but I do know what I want out of life. The fact that they rarely go hand in hand I suppose is irrelevant. We all just gotta get on with it.



I was at the boat show (or boast show, as only the mega rich could afford to shop there)yesterday with my dad looking at a million things that I will never in my life be able to afford. Thank heavens I like simple things.

Although, there was one boat I could probably afford after a hard years work. It was a samll dinky two seated thing that looked like it would implode if you farted whilst out at sea, or even just getting it wet in the rain.

I hate having very little money. I hate having to need money. I hate money.



What a place to work. I had a tour round it, up and down all around. Interesting indeed.



It was a really nice area of London. I'd love to have had a house down there, but only the uber rich as ever, could afford. Dag nam it.



Anyway, enough moans and groans from me. I need to shave and get ready for work.

Mmm, iphone.



I want one. I'll be able to aford one too. But will I want to spend money on that rather than other things...
