3 day weekend!

Plans are made for tonight, probably last night out before my birthday do (unless I suddenly win the lottery or something), I've had lots of sleep finally so ready and raring to go for the Bank Holiday weekend. I love not working on a Monday!

I have to say....

Seeing your housemate off their face when you're sober is very funny.

Caffeine needed

So very tired, just nearly fell asleep at my desk - I was fine until I got to work. I think a trip to a coffee shop for espresso may be needed soon, I'm having trouble typing.

Don't you know you're a toxic

Thanks to my friend for the title who decided that, when she had a few drinks, Britney was singing about a toxic substance.

Thought provoking weekend, couple of things said about me which I know are right, but you kind of hope that your friends don't notice. Well, they know me far too well, think that's a good thing...

The truth is, I tend to hide behind an outgoing front when I have had a drink, which is not exactly me at all. I don't really know the reasonings behind me doing it, except perhaps not to show everyone that I am a complete loon and am not 100% happy with life in its present form. I'm just a bit confused about things now, and trying to get my head around it, therefore I am a bit subdued at work today (which has been noticed, and they're getting worried).

Very funny

Had me in hysterics at work

To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems

Friday again, how quick has this week gone?! Weather is really nice again, want to play outside, especially as I am very bored at work. Got friends coming over tonight, so I think drinking lots of alcohol will happen (always a good plan on a Friday).

I've been asked whether I want to go running tomorrow morning in practice for the 3 miles I will be running in July. I'm not sure whether I'll even be awake at 10 tomorrow, let alone being able to run. I'll just have to see what the situation is in the morning, if I do have a hang over, it may get rid of it!

We have offered someone the secretary job, so it's all change yet again at work, I can't keep up.

Watch the smoke pour from the keyboard

We're interviewing for a new secretary for our department, and I've been given the dubious task of the typing test. I've just done it myself, and my typing speed is 110 WPM, not bad considering when I started here nearly three years ago it was 40 WPM.

Felt very restless last night, and again today. You know it's bad when you find you're watching Relocation, Relocation because there is nothing on the other 4 channels. Had to have beer to console myself.

Well this is something different

Just "volunteered" for the Race for Life run in July! Oh help!

And so the boredom sets in

I - need - something - exciting! Now, I'm whinging as such, but I just feel like I'm stuck in this mundane routine this week, which I'm sure everyone feels at some point. I wouldn't mind doing something like going to the cinema, but have no-one to go with, and I think going on my own would be a horrible experience. I can't believe the last time I actually went was September, this is not good. If you think about it, there isn't many things you can do on your own in the evening.

No actual reason, but...

I'm in such a good mood! It must be the weather - it can't be work surely? Lots of things seem to be working out today so am very pleased with myself. I've also been really healthy this lunch, celery sticks and melon slices (makes up for the sausage sarnie this morning!).

When the weather is this nice, I do revert back (back?!) to childishness and want to go out and play in the sun. I wish I had a bike...

Bastard Electricians

Another power cut last night, right in the middle of Eastenders as well the bastards (not that I actually missed it, but you get my point). Housemate and I decided to go for beer until it was fixed, as it was an estimated fix time of two hours. Had a good old gossip about the weekend and stuff. Also was reminded that I have the house to myself all weekend, if the money situation is ok, I think I may have to go to Blockbuster and get lots of DVD's (and Sainsbury's for beer of course). You never know, I might finally see Love, Actually!

Lazy days

I think I quite possibly had the laziest day in the world yesterday, all I did was eat junk food, watch telly and try and nap, didn't get out of bed until midday. Well deserved though, I had a busy weekend and needed my rest as have not had the greatest few nights of sleep. I think someone has been sneaking into my room and beating me up in my sleep as one of my ribs has been rather painful this weekend, my housemate even had to take my washing up for me yesterday it was that bad.

Was very lucky to have woken up just in time this morning, we had a power cut in the night so my alarm didn't work.

Baby alert!

Well, I think tonight is sorted now. I was supposed to be having a work night out, but loads of people in my department couldn't make it in the end, so they're all coming out on my birthday instead. I'm trying to get as many of my friends out as possible on that day, so come out for a drink on the 14th May you lot! Am now going out tonight with a couple of very good friends so fun should be had, although we are going for the cheap drinks cos we're broke.

I'm now on potentially becoming an auntie alert, my brother and his fiancee are not even travelling at the moment just in case, this is why he didn't come up to see me last weekend. Hopefully my nephew will be born near to pay day so I can get down south to see him.

Just found this - highly amusing

Billy Connolly's 13 things I hate about people:

1. People who point at their wrists while asking for the time. I know where my watch is, pal, where the fuck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh, you just want to have your cake and eat it too." Fucking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look." Of course it is. Why the fuck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "Did you see that?" No, tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at the fucking floor.

6. People who ask, "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice there, did you, sunshine?

7. When something is "new and improved!" Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

8. When people say, "Life is short." What the fuck?! Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever fucking does! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I be standing here, knob head?

10. People who say things like "My eyes aren't what they used to be." So what did they used to be? Ears? Wellington boots?

11. When you're eating something and someone asks "Is that nice?" No, it's really revolting. I always eat stuff I hate.

12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks, that's an image I really didn't need.

13. McDonald's staff who pretend they don't understand you if you don't insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering. It has to be a "McChicken Burger"; just "a Chicken Burger" gets blank looks. Well, I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes, you fucking McTosser.

Nearly the weekend

Well my training is complete, I am the master of our computer systems at work, although I think I am getting more geeky as I wanted the trainer to go into the more technical aspects (what on earth is happening to me? Please don't tell me I'm joining the dark side!).

Must sort out my desk, I can hardly see it at the moment, and I need my desk clear (I'm picky about things like that).

Not entirely sure what is happening tomorrow evening, haven't heard about one thing and confused about the other. Can someone let me know please?

Oh, congrats and good luck to Mr Fesk - I'm sure you don't need it, but please remember photos for me before you move so I can make my dartboard!

What will they think of next?

I've just been reading that scientists have been studying whether what month a person is born in effects their luck. Apparently May is the luckiest month to be born in. How on earth can they measure that? I'm a May baby, and I really don't consider myself to be luckier than my friends born in later months. People born in May are also supposed to be more optimistic and happy than people born in other months. Surely it is just dependant on the personality than anything else. It's the same as horoscopes. Just because I'm born at a certain time of year, so therefore am a Taurus does not mean what astrologers say is going to happen to Taurus is going to happen to me, it could be that the horoscope for Gemini is better for me that day. You cannot judge things like that. I'm so glad that money is being used on worthwhile research..

Yes yes oh yay

I have just had the delight in spending three hours being trained on something that I already know on Word. I have another three hours training tomorrow - I think at least it will be something different and actually is connected to my work. Annoying thing is that I can't play around with the stuff I will be learning because I'm too busy at work, and my computer at home still isn't working. Of course as I have been training, my work has stacked up considerably. I really don't see myself leaving that early tonight, then I'm going swimming (yes I am, I must!) and back home for the delights of probably toast or something.

No work please

Really, really cannot be arsed today, thankfully neither can anyone else in my department. It's such a nice day we're all dreaming about being in the beer garden across the road. Also feel achy because i was cleaning mould off my bedroom wall yesterday for about 5 hours (hmmm, nice!).

Good news: Have finally sold my Friends DVD's on EBay, weirdly enough to someone who lives very close to my parents. I will have some money for the month :)

Explanations

1. I really did not notice that there were men looking at me on Friday, there was no reason. Besides, I had had a drink!

2. I'm not forced out. What I am forced to do is go to that shitty club and pay £5 for the privilege, that's why I have a crap night out at times, because I am never able to go to the club I want to go to. Doesn't seem to be a way of remedying it either.

There. The people concerned know what I am on about.

Oops

I got Easter toffee, hope my housemate and her friends like it. Not that i don't mind toffee, just don't have much of a sweet tooth. It's the thought that counts though.

Easter egg? Er definitely not.

I think I must annoy people around this time of year. Was just speaking to my boss who is getting Easter eggs for everyone in the department apart from me because as I keep being told, I am a freak and actually hate chocolate. I know, it's very strange, I'm a woman who doesn't like chocolate. When I was younger and relatives used to get me Easter eggs, I would keep the mug, and my parents, brother or my cat would have the chocolate (my cat would actually bite you until you gave her chocolate!).

Maybe my boss will get me Easter wine instead....

Sorted

Financial crises will be sorted in a couple of weeks!

Am very bored at the moment, work very monotonous, and nothing happening at weekend at all due to no money etc, I don't think I could sleep continuously for 4 days.

Happiness

Today cannot be any worse than yesterday I don't think, feeling an increasing need to run away from civilisation onto a beach. Unfortunately that will not happen owing to financial crises, plus the fact that I will not go on my own as I'm too chicken. Oh well, at least it's Easter this week, meaning I can have 4 days of relaxation as I have nothing planned.

Insert all expletives in the world here.

Well because of a major cock-up, i now have only £9 for the rest of the month. Cannot believe i am THAT stupid.

!!!!

No money - great!

I am now officially broke :( . Went out 4 nights in a row last week, not a good idea, especially the last one as tiredness overruled and I just felt like everyone was enjoying the party but me. Going to be a very quiet few weeks I hope.

No more..... I can't take it!!

Went for another "quiet beer" last night - ended up being gooseberry when the couple I was with started arguing which is just so much fun I don't think. Going out tonight as well, apparently everyone is "going for it". Don't know whether my liver can take much more damage and I really need some red bull. I'm hoping that this really is going to be a quiet weekend. However, when I say that, it never is.

Can't get you out of my head

Cannot get that Wolfman and Pete Doherty song "for lovers" out of head. At least it makes a change from the song that has been in my head for nearly a week!

All change

Well as from today I have a new boss, strange thinking that. Everything is changing very quickly work-wise at the moment, having difficulty keeping up.

Had a brilliant night last night, housemates friend came up and we all went to Marzano's for dinner, then visited a few drinking establishments. I seem to keep going out on Wednesdays, I think this is the fourth in a row!

Must, must, must go swimming tonight, especially as some people cannot be arsed to organise tennis anymore.
