Getting on with it.

Slowly slowly I'm getting there, I keep getting told I'm much better than those before me. That one of the last guys to be trained in the admin sat there with his head in his hands for half an hour. Not something I've done.

So the lady who's teaching me all I need to know is saying that my work is going well. Which is nice, even if it doesn't feel that way for me. But then I'm a virgo and I rarely feel that way anyway.

Also, completely unrealted to anything I've been writing about. The next time I buy a laptop or desktop, i'm going to wipe this machine and try out some different operating systems. I think i'm getting ready to try out some new stuff. I quite like the look of Ubuntu.

However, I am a novice at doing this stuff. So I'll definitly have to wait before I do anything to this machine. I need a new one before. I could afford it at the moment, but I'm sitting on my cash and I want to invest my money. So I can make much more.

I need it.

I'm also waiting for the cost of the x-box to drop. I heard rumours on the rumour mill... I need something to unwind with in the afternoon.

Anyway. I'm flippin tired. Really tired. These early mornings are heck! Although my sleeping pattern is starting to shift. No worries and after this month, people will be back from holiday and I wont have to be pulling 6 day weeks plus extra hours per day. I'm doing three days of ten hours this week. As one of the section coordinators asked me "Are you mad?" "Yeah.." was my reply.

So, next time it comes up. I think I'm entitled to say no.

Anyway. Food, dvd, sleep. I think that'll round off my day nicely.

Ciao.

Blood Moon.

The earth has just started to block out the light of the sun to the moon. A wee snippet of shadow is moving up from the bottom of it.

Thankfully the rain from yesterday went away. So I should be able to see it tonight.

If I can stay awake that is. I'm knackered. Really sleepy. Waking up at 5:15am every morn is a bit of a jolt to the system. Especially after my lazy days...

Anyway, I might get my camera out, but it isn't any good taking moon pictures. It's just not good enough. I can only hope that those with better are.

Anyway, not long to go...

Horoscope from Jonathan Cainer.

"The devil you know is always better than the devil you don't. Assuming, that is, that you like a dull life. If you thrive on adventure, you need to go out and introduce yourself to a few more devils. Right now, you appear to have put yourself on the Devils 'R' Us mailing list. You are being bombarded with invitations from red-faced fellows with horns, tails and tridents. These, though, of course, are all devils you know. The more interesting types disguise themselves in smocks and halos."

"disguise themselves in smocks and halos" Hahahaa... yeah.

现在写信汉字.我的英国，美国的朋友看不懂。

Part 3



I remember this show very well. Why oh why did they cancel it? By far one of the very best cartoons ever made. Wish they'd bring it back...

One last thing...

My horoscope, from Jonathan Cainer.

It's a nice one.

They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Perhaps they are right but you are not a dog; nor are you old; and nor are you now in the process of learning a trick. You are honing a skill that you have been quietly developing for years. Only now you are using it in an unusual context. You are doing something you do not normally do and you are doing it rather well. Continue to be innovative and inventive. The more you dare to be different, the more your situation will start to change for the better.

Excellent... Onward and upward.

Now rest.

Transfer.

Really really tired. But it's oh so nice to be home by 2:30pm in the afternoon. Oh so nice, I feel like I've got a whole day ahead of me. Bliss.

Even if it does feel strane being out of work this time. A part of me keeps looking around and thinking "Should I really be off work now?"

Another part of me says "Who the heck cares! I'm already off when normally I'd have just started and been serving customers about now..."

It is wonderful.

Even if I only slept for about 3 hours last night. I kept thinking I've gotta be up by 5:15am, which kept me awake thinking I wouldn't have enough sleep.

Which is what happened. So I'm a bit wishy washy this avo. But no problem, I'm not working, I'm chilling at home. Mmm... so nice to be home.

I lay in bed, looked at the time this morning, it said 5:10am. I got immediately, had a quick shower got dressed and left the house. Before I knew it I was under way with the day and before I knew it, it was all over. It is so nice. Being made even nicer because I'm used to working late. It's not even 3pm yet!

Anyway, there's a couple of things I need to sort out soon. That's my holiday. Which I'd nearly forgotten about today. But I'm no rush to take it just yet. If I wait till Aprill my mate in Ireland will be able to get holiday time off too. So we'l be able to have a nice relaxing x-box 360 session. Mmm... I haven't played a console in ages.

It's an important part for my being able to unwind and relax now. Being that I was the generation that was born into some of the very first consoles. I remember the old table tennis game with the two paddles. I remember the shoddy twirly silver nob controller. I recall spending much time playing against my dad and brother. Great days. Now even better, thanks to improved technology.

Right, now I'm going to take it easy because I'm really quite tired and just amble around for this afternoon.
