Urgh...

What a day. What a painful day.
The person I work with has, as my father would say, cloth ears. She blabs her mouth in an incredible array of daftness. Takes no time at all to listen to anything I say to her and then misses out on a million things.

Is there nothing worse in this world than a person who doesn't listen?

So I sat there with her today, the Sri lankan lady, listening to her faff her mouth off and take little or any attention to anything I had to add.
She'd made a mistake inputting some of the figures the other day. I tried to explain this to her, but not a thing did she actively gleam from me. So I've left it. It's not a huge problem, but it's there. She made a couple of others as well. both I mentioned to yet fall upon deaf ears.

So I don't care anymore. I will happily let the sh*t hit the fan. It's her that'll get it. I could, rectify the problem myself. But, for someone who takes no time to listen, perhaps she'll start once she realises that ignoring me isn't a clever thing to do.

It's most rude. So she can fry in her own juices. Harumph!

Also, today, I am swiftly becoming other peoples emotional punch bag. They've got gripes and they come my way. It is because I do take the time to listen and I'm one of the most easy going people around there. So, they come to offload, sometimes though, it's a few shots fired my way out of exacerbation. Sigh... I like to help, but it's easier when I'm not stressed.

Anyway, it's another day done and a little bit more money coming my way. I put 500 quid right into the isa the other day. I will be doing that again next month. Save save save. One positive I have firmly and true.

Anyway it's been a poopy day but I'm home. Hopefully I'll be able to get off to the old rub a dub (pub) soon for an ice rink (drink). Or a pigs rear, but whatever you fancy really.

So, where do you want to go?

We'd finished watching Fantastic floor "Rise of the Silver Surfer" and were wondering where to grab something to drink.

My friend, who came to London from Somalia when he was 13 suggested we go to Mcdonalds.

"Yeah, Maccy D's..." I replied with a whistful glaze in my eyes. I didn't really want to eat but I was hungry. So what the hey.

We walked in, past the part that was being redecorated and I went and queued up with my mate in tow. We waited a while and had aimless chit chat.

"So, how've you been?" He asked.

"Well" I responded.

"what did you think about the film?" I asked.

"It was good"

"I think it's much better than the first one" I replied. He nodded in agreement.

"Next please" The man behind the counter said interupting our aimless conversational journey.

I moved over and said "Can I have a big mac and a quarter pounder with cheese please"

"Just the burgers and not the meals" He said with a waving motion of his arm Which I copied and replied "Yeah, just the burgers."

My mate was stood directly behind me and I turned and said to him "You know, that's where I usually stand when I go to Macdonalds with someone else. It's also the point that the person behind the counter assumes that you aren't buying and anything because your mate has oredered two burgers." Refering to my two burgers ordered.

My mate just looked at me and smiled.

The man behind the counter came back with my food which I picked up and went to find a seat. I looked round as I was going and my friend was there.

"Aren't you getting anything?" I said to him really puzzled.

"No, no, it's alright."

"What!" I said in surprise "You said you wanted to go into McDonalds you c**t." A very Londoner thing to say at such an instance. It's simply a way of expressing how you feeel. Not everyones linguistic cup of tea, but there you go.

I felt a bit put upon as it wasn't my suggestion to go to McDonalds in the first place. Although I did agree. But, it's very typically something my mate would do and as he said.

"It's all part of my comedy routine" He said with a cheeky grin.

I just laughed.

Oh, by the way I spelt Fantastic FLOOR at the begining of the post intentionally. As I had this big fantasy when walking to the cinema to say that when asking for the tickets. As I didn't think anyonw would really hear the difference.

"Can I have two tickets for the fantastic floor please" I would say.

"Certainly sir, which seats would you like?"

Hehehehe....

Ahh... rest.

2pm today was the longest moment before more work. It was a nice feeling when I remembered that tomorrow was my day off, really nice. I can wake up tomorrow without my alarm clock.

Wonderful.

Really really wonderful. I'll be going to the movies to watch Fantastic 4. Can't wait. I really enjoy my movie times, especially when everyone else is out at work and I have a whole day off. I need it.
Today was a bang my head against a wall day. Although it's also a reminder to look at the positive aspects of things. A bounce off the wall so to speak. It might be a sudden jolt but it sends you along another way.

I've been feeling a bit lazy writing recently, probably my being a bit tired, I've been getting a little less sleep than I need and it does affect me. I'm not into stimulating myself with coffee or anything like that either. I'm a natural person. If I feel tired, I sleep. If I'm hungry, yeah, I eat and so on.

So I've not felt up to the mamouth task of pouring out my insides onto the web page. Perhaps I should. Probably later, when I'm suitably inspired.

Oh, before I forget, i'm trying out Safari for windows. I just downloaded it and have had a brief look into its workings. The silver grey is a bit of a "urrmmhh..." for me, but the rest is tutto buono.

My first impressions are that there are some very straight forward ways to do things. Subtle differences from internet explorer. Which I'll most likely stop using now. I don't really like it at all.

Hmm, I realise just reading that I've painted an inaccurate picture of my circumstances. I only use internet explorer for this blog. As the old blog I use is tied to my original gmail account. In order to distance myself from that, I had to use my back up gmail account. As i couldn't be bothered signing in and out between the two, I used two browsers. Firefox (I love) and internet explorer.
Firefox is excellent and will remain my default browsing experience for some time to come. It's lovely.

So, this for my new secondary browser, soley for the purpose of this blog, will now be Safari. Tip top indeed it is.

Right. I'm off to enjoy the rest of my evening and retire to bed for much needed sleep.
Because I feel like making some of these "Zzz... Zzz..."

The view from my mates flat in Ireland.

Did you spot the elephant? The circus was in town.

Ireland some more.

Ireland.

Where I was for me hols.

Technology.

I'm looking forward to riding a scramjet in the near future.

2 hours to fly between London and Australia at mach 10. Sweet.

I'm waiting for the future of travel at such speeds and at the smallest expense, so we can all get about and meet one another. It would be good for the planet.

Don't worry about pollution or extinction either. Give it a hundred to two hundred years and we'll probably be able to recreate almost anything from matter. Put in garbage get out a couple of cars and a pig (that lives and breathes like they should do).

If my blog is still bumming around in the next hundred years or so, mark my words.
We'll have also cured ageing. We wont have to worry about that anymore, if we don't want.

The future will be an interesting place to live in.

Anyway, to the present and the fact I agreed to work a couple of hours this morning. They need an admin person and I'm it.

Bleurgh. I hate work, I really really do. Let me be rich perlease...
