November

Ok, so far too long and my plan of updating this every few days went totally out the window.

So where to start…

Well work is now back in Manchester which is very very good, enjoying being back there, does mean alot less traveling for me which is always a plus, and nice new offices to go with it. The downside I am always very busy and shattered by the time I get home.

My holiday to rhodes went great (and seems like ages ago now) got a little sunburnt but thats only because I am fair skinned. But can’t complain about the weather 35 degrees Celsius every day (and sometimes hotter then that) but 29 degrees at night so sleeping was hard. It was alot of fun and was a nice break from work (week and a half woot!) not sure where it will be next year… or if I could afford it.

My “get fit” plan closely followed the updating this blog out of the window, I keep getting determined to start properly but then I just… well don’t… although at the moment I am eating a lot healther.

I do have two new things which I love in my life. For starters a new guitar an Adam Black electro acoustic guitar which was a little expensive but totally worth it, it sounds so nice and I have wanted an acoustic guitar for ages, so happy I’ve got one now. Also last week after three weeks of waiting my nice shiny new Apple MacBook arrived, for years I have been using PC’s and windows but now I prefer using macs, they just work so much better and the trackpad on the MacBook is amazing, to use a trackpad on a normal pc laptop which doesnt allow two finger scroll etc is just frustrating.

ok so that was brief to say the least but I have caught up, kinda

alone at work

not updated in a while… again! and its looking like most of the time I post general me and my life stuff, I write it on the train to and from work. Currently on the way into work where I shall spend today alone as the other 3 people in my office are out all day so apart from maybe the odd person coming in to ask where they are, no one, nade, zilch. Was quite looking forward to it as I can sit there listen to my ipod and get on with things but today its kinda hit me… it’s going to suck.

Been having more ideas to have more blogs about chosen subjects, like one for games and another for cars/motorsports just so this blog is kept to one thing and one thing only… my life. It all really depends on how much I can keep them updated, my time at home is very short now although the weeks are flying by (is it really thursday already!) but it means that I can get closer to my holiday which I booked last week to Rhodes in September. Really looking forward to that especilly because it means I get to spend a whole week with Lou who I hardly get to see anymore (which also sucks) but she is trying to get a job up here… really hope she does. Especilly since its her birthday next month and also we will have been together for 4 years then and its looking like we wont get to see each other.

Right, time for me to get off the train and go to work. *sigh*

365 days

Well tomorrow marks a year since I came home from university for good. Cannot believe its been a year already but I am very glad that a year later I have found employment and its in the field that I studied, you see so many graduates leave university only to get a job in something completely different then what they trained in, or some just don’t have a job for ages

So, this past year what have I done

• Spent 9 months actually looking for a job.
• Went on holiday for a week to Spain. It mostly rained.
• Did a couple of days working as a temp doing data entry.
• Learned that data entry is one of the most boring things to do.

… thats pretty much it. Quite a sad list really

So… year 2 as it is. Hopefully I’ll (get ready for more bullit points)

• Progress more in my job and understand more about SEO (which could mean a new blog… which I may make later today)
• Play more guitar… been playing for 5 years now… it’s time I got better.
• Get fit (yeah still not really going on wiiFit… but I did buy a mountain bike today and the hills around where I live are perfect for that sort of thing)
• Take more pictures in general to make my flickr account bigger… not just 2 pictures… and try and be at and arrange more social occasions and take pictures there
• Actually manage to not look like an idiot in pictures…
• Drawing and digital art… do some… been far too long. Especilly since my number of profile views on deviantArt has increased alot!

yes I doubt I will stick to these things… but I’ll try.

anyway… todays far too nice to sit inside… even though theres nothing to do out there really… damn friends moving away
