So this is a good way to procrastinate right?
There’s lots of things I *should* be doing right now, but I’m severely lacking in motivation. I even took the time to make a list of all the things I’m not doing. At least I’m being lazy in an organised fashion.
I hate being so affected by the weather. I had that SAD actually exists, although I suppose it is good that it’s a recognised condition. Yesterday I had to...

So much for the afterglow...
So after 3 sleepless nights I finally gave in a took sleeping pills last night, and I think they actually worked - either that or I was so exhausted that my body just gave in and let me sleep.
I’m not even really sure why I haven’t been sleeping. My brain has always had a problem shutting down at night - that’s why the Uni life suited me so well - wake up early afternoon, go to...

Monday Again?!
How does this keep happening? I’m voting for some kind of ban on Mondays or weekend extension or something - and I don’t even have to go to work. I was reading that Monday is the most hated/moaned about day…unsurprising really.
Sooo, over the weekend I mostly did nothing. Got a bit further on FFXII, man that game is annoyingly difficult and long-winded. I also managed to sell my...

Is there ANYTHING more annoying that somebody whistling incessantly outside your window?

I’m forcing myself to at least write something here. I’m not sure why but I feel like it’s something that I should do, its just difficult when nothing of interest really happens in your life, and you don’t feel like expressing any kind of deep opinions on-line.
I’m finally starting to get some decent amounts of money in for work I’ve done, so that’s...

You know when you feel like you want to write about lots of things, but you don’t know how or where to start? Yeah, I have that.

Things are picking up a bit, I’ve got work starting to come in and therefor monies and I’m actually enjoying being self-employed and not dreading getting up every day. Plus I get the awesome bonus of being able to take a day off in the week to go hang out in town with friends (as I did on Thursday)!
Although I’m not loving the having to watch the cash-flow situation I’ve...

So, things here are moving at a bit of a slow pace. Not sure if that’s good or bad, I have days where I really can’t be bothered and just feel like a complete failure, and then I have other days when I’m motivated to make things work out….I think that’s just called being human.
I went for a job interview the other day (@lami - hence nervous status on fb) for a part...
Weird facts about me #1
Some days I wake up absolutely terrifed of getting any older…today is one of those days :-(
New Direction
No, the title is not a Glee reference, sadly.
So I’m sat in Cafe Nero, in Worcester, looking like a poser on my laptop after my first week of self-employment….waiting for my mother.
Yep, I finally got fed up with being completely unappreciated and undervalued and quit my job. I’ve spent most of the week sliding between blissful relaxation, and jaw-clenching stress, which is...

An update, eh?
Well, we found a flat. In Leamington Spa. We move on the 16th May - yay, finally leaving Catshill!! I also have an interview on Monday, so we’ll see how that goes, but generally have a few ideas in the pipeline and some different directions I’m up for exploring.
Today consists of getting my hair cut, doing a bit of window shopping, and then heading to Abby’s to train her...
you know those moments in life when you realise you don’t actually have a clue what you’re doing?….Today has been a perpetual one of those moments. :-(

I didn’t get the job, so I’m back on the hunt again.
Basically, they had 3 of us back for 2nd interviews and didn’t employ anyone. They said I was great, got on well with everyone and would have fitted in really well. They also said they thought I had the relevant experience web-wise but felt I didn’t have the experience/confidence to come in at a sort...

This could be many, I kind of have a thing with lyrics, but we’ll go with Blink-182, the Party Song for hilarity’s sake :-)

Slow Down - The Academy Is…
Reminds me of going to see them gig in Birmingham with Lami, the satnav failing epically when we got off the motorway, and guessing my way to where we needed to be. Worked out though! Awesome gig.

This is kind of difficult, as I generally only listen to music which makes me happy. But I suppose Newton Faulkner - Teardrop, just because it reminds me of my ex, and how much of my life I wasted on such a complete and utter tool.

So I have a few days worth of song challenge to catch up on, which I will get to after this; the reason for my absence from interwebz being that I’ve been interviewing for a new job.
I had my first interview with them on Thursday and it went well. So well that they have invited me back for a second tomorrow. I know that I should be really excited about this. I mean, I’ve bitched and...

Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derulo
I actually like some Jason Derulo songs, but this was the anthem to my boss’ divorce for the past year, and after you’ve heard it at least 10 times a day for that long….it just makes you want to kill yourself.
I wear my shame, I wear it all too well...
Why do plans of actually getting some work done still always end up in mass amounts of tea-making and social networking? It’s just like being back at Keele….except I can’t slack off by going to the union and playing pool with the Llama :-(
Still, I have motivation, hopefully I’ll get at least some of these jobs applied for today! And I have done (yet another) version of my...

Ok, So, like the llama and Sarah I’m gonna get in on this here instead of annoying facebookers….
The Living End - Who’s gonna save us?
A song that I’ve loved since the first time I heard it years and years ago, has been my ring tone many times and I can’t help smile and sing along when I hear it. It is awesome.

Well, obviously I meant the end of *this* week…duh!
I think saying that it’s been a bad couple of weeks is a bit of an understatement. The boy is now on overtime at work, which involves doing at least 2 extra days per week, At the moment this consists of working all week and then all weekend too, but I think he may try to switch to doing an extra days worth during two evenings and...

New Year was pretty awesome, I was glad to see people again, although it seems I don’t actually remember a lot from the evening now that I have seen pictures….it’s been quite a while since I’ve got to that point. It was a good time, but I paid for it the next couple of days!
So I wanted to use this post to talk about regrets. I’ve been thinking a bit about mine,...

I've made plans....
This is the longest I’ve gone without having an online presence, somewhere to write down all the inane rubbish that goes on in my life so that almost no one can read it; maybe because I no longer feel like I have anything - inane or otherwise - to say.
My life consists of working, and sleeping and that’s about it.
Still, maybe by writing things down, it will either motivate me to...

Working on CSS and such, just to gain knowledge really, I mean I already know a lot of the basics, but have never really had time to play around with them…figured I should for the next stage of The Plan(tm).
