Huzzah for coffee

Well, finally got around to that coffee today. Took a while, but as always, we got there. I thought I'd make mention that I have indeed started writing my book. Not really all that far yet, but it's a start and that's something. Tomorrow is looking to be a promising day as Frejak and Vis will most likely be sharing it with me. I always enjoy that. Since there are really only about 6 people in the world that I can tollerate having any sort of personal contact with, it's a bonus that I'll have both around.

So, with that said, does anyone have a spare part time job that they want to give me? I'm going a little stir crazy at the moment. The short interludes I have with friends around on the weekend and the odd foray during the week into the wider world for coffee are all I really need to keep my sanity usually, but it turns out that when bills are hard to pay, I tend to veer off a little into the strange world of the criminally insane.

Bah, I've applied for a nice part timer with a credit union and if they have any sense, they'll haul my ass in for some form of interview. Here's hoping huh?

Oh, I almost have that first chapter finished, although it's technically the prologue. Updates as they happen, news at 11 and all that.




Only I may decide who pants are not mandatory for, you got that?

Only one smoke left and a full jar of Arnica

Well stupid me decided to assist my brother in unpacking. I didn't do it for the proferred 90 gold for each of us in wow but out of love. Strange this may seem I know but I...........actually no I don't know why myself either.
However love.....indeed love which right now I would like nothing more to throw out the window. As would you beieve it when I was doing it yesterday I felt a little click in my back and thought "Ooo, that can't be good" and promptly forgot about it.
Until last night not having slept and now with popping as many pain killers as leagaly allowed without it being a suicide attempt and having lots and lots of arnica. As bugger it I've stuffed my back up. grrrrrrr
What I find to be the most histeric part of it all is that I can't stop from smiling this morning and yes I'm about to go for the trek to get smokes or I truely believe that I will kill the first person I see, which unfortunately could be my sister. And I'm rather fond of her.
So today plans out to be an extremely amusing day for all I feel.
With Kahn slowly taking over the boardroom of his work and Salem updateing away - coffee? - I'm thinking to start a very slow trek into the shops and air-con, a coffee and some smokes and maybe some more painkillers before I pass out.

I hope everyone has a day that gives them something that they can have a little manic smile even if only for a moment.

It Begins Again

Well here I am back at work. The break that I have had has been good. A full month off! I did very little with the time, and that's exactly what I wanted. Of course there was the trip to New Zealand which I have told people about so I wont mention here, safe to say I had a good time.

So my first day starts and I walk in to a resounding greeting punctuated with the information that the air con in the building is down. Thoughs of you who know me know I can't stand the heat. Great.

This has happened once before, on my first day, and the response was that we all got sent home. I must admit I was hopeful. Unfortunantly not so lucky today. All the people who could work from home (aka most advisers) have gone home and the boss. I don't hold it against them as they really will be working (I have the ability from my machine to make sure of that) and I like all the administrators cannot do my work from home.

Of course my action in response to this is that I have set up five machines in the board room as it is large and has separate aircon that still works, It was sweatty work in this heat setting them up but now I'm comfortable with a much better view.

And to make it better the PM just brought us all ice blocks, whichis nice. I'd rather be home but this is still nice.

Update time

Well here we are. We've all been very busy doing nothing over the holidays and now it's probably getting close to the time where we all go back to work and need something to keep us entertained while we're there. Truthfully, Kallisar could have been posting stuff as he has been working a lot over the break, but since none of the rest of us have really been paying attention, I can understand why he wouldn't bother. We're good like that.

Either way, I've had a lot of time off and now I have to start looking for work. I'm not overly thrilled by the prospect, but I need an income. You know the story. So just to recap for those of you that weren't there or were too out of it to remember, here's roughly what's been happening.

Solstice was a nice little affair at home with a few friends. One did decide to mess up the paved area out the back of my place with a lot of candle wax and man was he lucky to get away clean. I thought that Frejak was ready to stab him and I was in a mood to hold him down while she got the knife. The lesson here is this: I don't fuck with your shitty christmas celebrations, so don't you dare fuck with my solstice candles! Speaking of christmas, I spent the day drunk. Frejak, Kahn and myself went to spend the day with Frejak's sister for the day and we arrived at around 9:00am. After a small ammount of organising, we started drinking at around 9:30am and I pretty much kept going right up until about 1:00am on boxing day. It took me a good two or three days to recover.

New years eve was quiet but that was ok. I enjoyed it all the same. I was up much later than everyone else, but that's something that I'm quite used to now. I suppose that it's lucky that I don't mind being by myself. That may be quite a telling trait when disecting my psychological make-up but what the hell. I celebrated the new year by watching 'Farrenheight 9/11' and marvelling at the stupidity of Americans.

With that said, I'm going to get out of here. I have many on-line things that I need to catch up on and this represents but a small percentage of them.
