Well, one day to go folks!!!
God I'm excited!
Also, night out tonight. A few points to note... where am I going to eat? When am i going to eat? Will I be forced to get drunk?
Answer to the latter is no cos cobody can force me to do anything. so there :-p
However, who will turn up? eh? eh?
Why do i get so worked up before going out? This, ladies and gents, is one of the reasons I limit when I go out. i.e. I like to have a reason.
Anyway, I think my flextime is now balanced, so it's a clean sheet coming in tomorrow. And I'll get here extra early so I can have plenty time at lunch... you know, just in case anyone turns up.
T'ra for now kids

Tried to get an early night last night - failed more or less completely. Ah well. I'm at work early today - need to make up me hours before tomorrow
*excited giggle*
Am gettin butterflies about lookin for places to live at uni. Still don't know whether to go for a decent place (expensive) or go for a student place. Either way I think I'd be better on my own, but I have a house to visit that's shared with 3 others. Trouble is, they're the same age as me. Which is worrying cos I've seen what some of my contemporaries act like. Still - I can't be a one-off - can i?
I just want to settle. I have done for ages. But no.
*sigh*
I'm off out tonight so I believe. Wish me luck. And everybody hope that a certain somebody won't be there stirring up trouble and sharking. Poor women.
So, I go into today feeling tired and without motivation. My project is annoying me. Get this - I know the software works, I know the hardware works, I know that the two work together. BUT, the end-result is subject to random and non-random anomolies. You think I want to start fixing that? You've gotta be kiddin! Hopefully today will go quickly (I doubt it will) and then tomorrow comes and it's just forms, meetings, emptying of desk and I'm off into the sunset.
Move-out is Saturday evening. My landlady has been on holiday and I've enjoyed having the place to myself. Apart from the hoovering, I think I looked after the house pretty well. It went so well staying at her house that I may consider becomming a lodger at uni. MAY consider. I've bought her a thankyou card but I don't know what to get her for a present, so I may just leave the card. We'll see.
Got no plans Friday night - was gonna go to the pub for a meal, but if nobody else's there then what's the point in taking up a table in a busy pub?
Had pizza for tea last night. Why do Domino's Pizza persist in trying to sell large pizza's for the same price as a small? And also when ordering, why do they insist you have a large size? I managed to convince the guy that all I wanted was a medium this time. Luckily. I only just managed the medium!
My cousin rang me yesterday while I was at work. Missed his call though.
Cuz - I don't have me mobile on at work, and you have my work number. And I tried ringing you back last night around 7ish, but ya phones were off. I hope everythin's ok. I'll come round ya house next week with Trace probly.
Well, that's all of my news. As for the rest of the world, I'm somewhere near what you might call passive despair. And the events have triggered some statements I'd like to make puiblicly (bear in mind this is just how I feel right now):
Israel/Palestine - You both need sorting out, if you were squabbling kids there's a line parents like to use that I feel is quite appropriate... "I'll knock your heads together if you don't stop it"
Iraq - Why are certain people so against a stable government that, hopefully, will be a democratic government? It doesn't have to be a western style - just one that listens to its people, that's chosen by its people and that looks after its people.
Afghanistan - Has the world forgotten this place? They have their presedential elections coming up, but there is real doubt that a fair election can take place. Doesn't anyone find that the least bit concerning?
Zimbabwe - Why are we letting Mugabe ruin his country? Ok, so it's his country and he can do what he damn well pleases, but he's ruining it, and somebody needs to stand up to him and stop him from eliminating the democracy there.
Africa in general - The fight against aids is a big task, certain governments seem unwilling to do anything about this. Just one question - if every young person dies of aids, then who will govern the country in the future?
Russia - We need to keep a close eye on this country. Not least because the democracy there is fragile. Now, that country is massive, and trying to get the hundreds of millions living there into a reasonable state of housing after so many centuries of neglect, well it's a big task. And I agree with some analysts that say it may be what the country needs until it gets onto its feet. This doesn't apply to Zimbabwe, they were doing really well prior to the trouble.
UK - Again, a story of neglect in certain areas (transport etc.). To be fair, it could be a lot worse, but we're meant to be one of the leading countries in the world. As for our government and intelligence services - how can they get in such a state that we can be presented with facts that aren't actually fact.
That'll do for now. Should get on with something *waves*

-3 days
Not bad eh?
*big sigh*
after a dreadful Monday where things just refused to go right for me, Tuesday has seen a marked improvement. I'm still going out Thursday apparently, which is a bit worrying but we'll just see how it goes I think.
One day I'll get around to organising all my pictures... I've been meaning to do it now for quite a few years. But now I have the technology to do it!

It's Penultimate Friday! Seems like just last week it was Propenultimate Friday.
sorry, the joke had to be done - if only cos I'm still slightly giddy from tiredness.
Had a lovely wake up today though.
So then, just under 6 working days left to go. Not a lot left to do really. Though for boredom, may I recommend the YetiSports website. Great fun. The link is up on the left, with the rest of the links.
Well, lets see what today brings eh?

Lots of political nonsense going on that I don't agree with. Won't bore you with the details.
It was American "independance day" earlier this week. I thought it rather odd that some UK radio stations seemed to be celebrating it. Someone should really tell them what independance day is celebrating-that alone should tell them how inappropriate they're being. Why does it often seem as though this country is slowly integrating itself into America? Is this a world-wide phenomenon? I'd be interested in having a multinational debate about this.
Work - well, it's going well. 8.5 days to go. Having a few setbacks that are knocking my confidence a bit, but other than that I'm doing well I reckon.
Am looking forward to going home for a bit. Then it's off to uni. Oh the joy! Am quite nervous about this. Me doubting my own abilities doesn't help. So, I shall try to have more faith in myself. I also need to put in more effort in socialising. But I'm trying. It's just hard to break out of your genetics - if you get my meaning.
Ok, enough whining. I'm gonna have a look round the tinterweb for sommat of interest before lunch is over.

8 and 3 quarter days to go.
You are the most common poster, but I wouldnt say the most popular Lee :D
Is he joking? I honestly don't know where I stand anymore.
As there is only three people currently posting, this is no mean record! Im gonna scrap this and get a new website on I think.
Trim
3 people? who's the third? If you count coming online once a month and saying one or two words posting, then yes, you are the third. But it's mainly me. 47 out of 116 posts are mine. Trace could be argued as the second.
Oh well, I'm looking forward to the next disasterous site. All the best!

Well, 11.5 days to go to I finish my job. That's working days btw.
The train company finally gave me my season ticket yesterday. It's only taken a month. I bet they'll short change me too. They still owe me money and I'm gonna make sure they pay.
Unlike bloody royal mail. I sent a parcel special delivery from london to preston. Now where on that route does the isle of man come into things? Cos that's where it ended up. Fair enough, they said I could claim a refund. BUT, I need the packaging from the parcel, the receipt of postage/payment from the PO.
Now, how on earth am i meant to be in possession of the packaging? So you're thinking the recipient can claim the refund? Oh no, cos you need the receipt that the sender has. So how exactly is anyone supposed to claim their refund? If I could get the packaging back - then there'd be no point in me sending it in the first plae, I could just take it myself.
*sigh*
Oh well. I guess that's the idea. it's not fair mind. So I won't be claiming my refund because it was only a day late and it arrived in good condition - making it not worth the bother.
I'm really getting the hang of this ranting to any poor bugger who'll read this aren't I?
