Where to start?! Since the last blog I've done the Picnic in the Park event, attended a wedding, visited Shrewsbury, had a week off work and oh yeah, turned 25! I know I've been neglecting this thing lately, my head has been filled with all these thoughts and things I wanted to say but I didn't know quite how to put them all down and have them mean something ... so I didn't! lol.
I guess I'll start off with the job and continue from there. It's going well, I'm still having something of a crisis of confidence but I guess that comes with joining a new team and doing a job that is unlike anything you've done before. The Picnic in the Park event which a few weeks ago now, went really well, it was a long day for us as we were there at 6am to help set up and didn't get away until 5pm. I'm getting to travel around a lot more which is certainly testing my sense of direction as I haven't a clue where anywhere in this town is! So far so good though. It looks like there are more changes coming in our departement. It's quite amazing really, they finally get us all together in one place and within a year there is already talk of them disbanding the team. I'm not sure if these changes are going to be good or not right now, they are always very criptic and choosy about how much they tell us. Watch this space ...
The wedding. Aaaaaah the wedding. You know the tv show Prison Break? Imagine that but instead of inmates picture family who you don't like and haven't seen in over 5 years (for good reason!). It was a loooooong day, 12 noon until 1am to be precise. There's little else to tell about it really, mostly because I can't remember or don't want to remember, I'm unsure which! I'm not a drinker usually but on this night I was. And it helped. I'd been reliably informed that Lemonade, Lime and Vodka will get you smashed in a very short space of time without having to taste the vodka so that's what I did.
I'm liking Shrewsbury more and more, I'm even beginning to picture myself there within the next year. I think my birthday this year made me question exactly what still keeps me here really. My mum? Sure. My dad? Yeah. I love them both but I feel like it's time to leave them now. Friends? With the exception of Anya and a few other work friends I see very little of them these days, I'm almost sure I would make more friends, more quickly in Shrewsbury. The job? Although I'm enjoying it, I could quite easily leave it tomorrow. It's just a thought right now but it's a nice one, I feel excited when I think about how it might be.
The week off. Oh how I needed a week off. I bought myself a PSP as a treate the week before so I spent much of my first couple of days chilling in the garden, listening to The Foo, playing that. On the Wednesday I went out with my folks for the first time in forever. It was actually really nice to spend the day with them, I almost felt guilty for all the times I've said "no thanks". My mum bought me a new Sony Ericsson mobile phone which I'm really pleased with, my old one was like 5 years old. This new thing is amazing! It has an awesome camera and you can upload music and video to it. I currently have the Indiana Jones theme as my ringtone which makes me crap myself everytime it goes off and 'Spider Pig' from The Simpsons movie as my message alert. I've since been sent the A-Team and Nightrider themes by Anya so they may not last for long. I bought a few books as I had nothing to read, I'm reading 'The Hunt for Atlantis' at the moment which is kind of an Indiana Jones type adventure, it's good fun to read. I also got the newest Bourne book and Dave Gorman 'America Unchained' which is about a guy who takes a road trip across America and talks about his experience. We then went to see Hancock at the cinema and went for a pizza at Pizza Hut. Hancock was ok but it didn't seem to know what sort of movie it was supposed to be. It started very funny but then didn't seem to know where to go next and it all got a bit serious which I didn't get personally. The last few days I spent sleeping, eating, reading, PSP'ing and watching the tennis and sleeping some more. In that order!
My birthday. Thankyou so much for the e-cards and best wishes on Facebook, I really appreciated them and they kinda made my day! The day itself was pretty dull, my folks had gone away to a wedding for the weekend, my dad was away and my brother was working! After being let down by friends I left on my own, not the nicest way to spend a birthday. It left me wishing I had gone with my original idea of arranging something with friends at work. I went into town in the morning, watched some tv and chatted to Amie on yahoo messenger for long periods! I've since began to feel a lot better about it though, I went into work on Tuesday and had cards and presents waiting for me, they'd also decorated my desk. I got some vouchers for a clothing store from people in my new team, some sweets, some aftershave and a 'Mr T in my pocket' from Anya which we have had lots of fun with this week. I pitty the fool!!! We have since arranged a work night out next month which should be really fun! I saw my dad last night and we're all going out for a posh meal this weekend which will be nice.
I decided to pick the traditional white Spurs shirt in the end as it goes with pretty much anything, I also got the shorts so I'm all ready for the new season! I added some more Mighty Muggs to my collection, here are Venom, Spidey and The Hulk ... stay tuned for Indy Mighty Muggs!!! Here's a little pic of some of my stuff.
I'm gonna have a new layout soon, I'm getting kinda bored with this one already and want something nice for the summer so I can at least think nice weather even if we aren't getting any. Seriously, it's rained non-stop this week. I added this neat little lyrics thing to the side bar, I have it on my facebook too. It features 'I hate My Life' by Theory of a Deadman at the moment, I don't hate my life but the lyrics put a big smile on my face. |
