This is probably the first year in my life where i didn't eat pancakes on pancake day 
Should i be worried that the people that i work with have been asking my boss if i'm ok because they think i seem more depressed and fed up than usual? I'll be the first to admit that i'm not the most upbeat of people, but i don't think that i'm any more down than usual. It's nice that they care about me enough to worry though.
I've got next week off work, which i'm really looking forward to. Especially as I should be getting Final Fantasy XII tomorrow and i'll have an entire week to play it without having to worry about going to work
I've been called up for Jury duty (again!) in April. Can't say i'm looking forward to it. Last time (which was about 5 years ago) i spent a good chunk of a day sat in the Gloucester courthouse just waiting with nothing to do and when i was finally selected as a juriour i got sent home because the defendant in the case i would have been on the jury for pleeded guilty to one of the charges so they had to start the whole process again with a different jury. The only thing i can think of that was more borring was being stuck in a Chicargo airport for five and a half hours while our plane was repaired. Well, it's that or the Blare witch project (God that was a borring film!). Oh well, there's not much i can do about the whole jury service thing, so i may as well just grin and bare it.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Enjoy your week off! I have a week off in March, just trying to use up my annual leave, you know.
We'll have to meet up again some time! In fact, how do you fancy going to Bath one day? I have been meaning to get off my arse and do things on weekends and one of the ideas I had was to go to Bath at some point. I've not been to Bath since I was in my teens and I am surprised that it has taken me so long to decide to go there again.
Its funny how I get so caught up in day-to-day life that the days turn into weeks and I never seem to actually do anything except go to work!! Maybe, tacky as it may seem, I need to get a big piece of paper, write a long list of things to do, with target dates against each item, stick the piece of paper up on the wall in by my bed and make myself review the list every time I get up in the morning and go to bed at night!!!
I will actually be down your way next week (ie w/c Mon 26th Feb). The other evening when I got back to my house, I was approached by a couple of gentlemen from the water board who advised me of the fact that a sewer main down the end of our street is nearing collapse. In the near future, they plan to perform repairs during a 25 hour run. Because the works will be noisy, they have offered to put everyone in the street up in a hotel!! However, I figured that as I don't have a car and as they couldn't tell me which hotel it would be, I didn't want to take a gamble on whether I could get to Temple Meads from the hotel (plus, in my experience, hotels don't seem to be very good at grasping the concept of vegan food, even when you tell them in advance). Hence, I will be staying at my parents' house for a few days. The repairs are on Thursday so I will probably go to my parents house direct from Gloucester on Wednesday evening and stay there until the weekend, or maybe stay there during the weekend as well and go back to my house from Gloucester on Monday.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Hope you are enjoying your week off.
Meanwhile, the b*st*rds have put a generator right outside my house and it is 'humming' away at a billion decibels!! I thought the works were happening on Thursday!!! After work tomorrow, I am going to catch the train to the Forest and stay at my mum and step-dad's house for the rest of the week.
Right I am off to have a bath and prepare my packed lunch for work (ah, what an exciting 'rock & roll' lifestyle I lead, hee hee).
