It's been a good week.
Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell gig. That was good.
Decided that I was going to skip work all week without telling anyone. That was good.
Got drunk and made a fool out of myself with loads of cool people over the weekend. That was good.
Played guitar hero for the first time. That was good.
Bank stuff sorted out. That...

Fucking banks! Fucking twatting employers! I will rend them apart with my bare hands, I will decorate my room with their collective viscera and bathe in their blood. Their fate shall be told to small children at night in order to frighten them into behaving. Their suffering will become legendary. The eternal pits of hell I'll send them to will seem like paradise in comparison...

I did it, all very nicely politely and in an adult manner. Yeah, I know I shouldn't have, but alas, I need a reference. My plan is now in action, for good or ill. So I best stick to it. I do like the looks on everyone's face when I say that I've just quit, they look at me and say, 'Oh, so you've found...

are banks allowed to do that, surely they have to give you some warning?

Thought I'd return the comment. ^_^
1GB of memory failed on my work computer. I didn't realise how expensive that stuff is now... it's gone up in price so much it's going to cost more than a hundred quid to replace!
You should try Battlestar Galactica. Hell, sounds geeky, but anyone who's seen it will testify - if you like Lost or 24, it's the next step!

So I'm now trying to draft a letter of resignation to my boss. It's been a little shaky, here are a few of my early attempts:
Dear boss,
I hate you.
Which I liked for it's punchiness.
Dear boss,
Fuck off.
Was another good one I thought, it says all that needs to be said. I'm in two minds as to whether or not to...

Ah, that whole 'Being smitten' thing has died. Shame. Probably a good thing though, I've just (As of about 30 minutes ago when I read my post) sorted out a major millstone around my neck. That's it, done and dusted. Only took me 2 years to do it too.

I don't read fiction as much as i used to, but my 2 pence worth would be to mension - not light reading - Thomas Mann's Dr Faustus.
and as for the 30, for me it might aswell have been 27 or 35, really it's all the same (i've always felt out of place and too old); when you're 60 looking in the mirror is the only thing that will tell you you're 60.
Being a blue-arsed fly is never good (i've not read back before this blog entry, so know only that much). it's sad to say, but there's a eastern proverb about a man's horse that runs away, and his neighbours ask him why he hasn't chanced after it; and he calmly answers that if the horse is meant to be his, it'll return. i think that's the way to try and look at things. Go with the flow it all.
Your bolt of inspiration sounds a good one; hope it goes well.

It's that dead time isn't it? Christmas is done, New year looms and the time between is... Well, nowhere really is it? I'm still off work for the break, Not much to do with my time except be a little on the chilly size and ruminate.
I'd hazard a guess that this time is where the whole new year resolutions thing weighs on our minds,...

mmm:
The thing about growing as a person is that you never really know how much you've grown, because time is such that you never come face-to-face with your old self again once time has moved on. Sometimes the echoes of your former self are strong enough, though, to show you who you once were, and thus who you are now.
Sorry about that. I've been reading Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, which has the same 'consciousness explansion' effect as smoking pot.
Heh. I often romanticise the thought of having it bad for someone. Then I remember how I used to throw up, much like Stan in South Park. Then I calm down about the whole idea. Still, nothing like a little prospective romance to make you feel alive!

Yeah it wasnt bad actually. I didnt get up till about 3pm on Christmas Day so i count that as a rousing success 
Well, it's not a bad thing that I didn't get the job. Thanks for your comments everyone. Firstly, the job itself was a means to an end, and I wasn't really that fussed on it, and secondly, everyone I know from that neck of the woods has either moved to London or stopped speaking to me for no readily apparent reason (Except for one person,...

Wow, they've made a breakthrough at work. The marketing department have worked hard and diligently to identify the key groups of paint buyers throughout the UK. They've identified a group of consumers that is the largest growing group, and they've formulated a plan that will relaunch our brand in a spectacular fashion to suit this fast growing demographic.

Stickers. On paint pots. I'd take it. I've just quit my job because I dislike people, paint pots wouldn't gimme no lip. stickers can be fun. Ok, it doesn't sound very inspiring. Fingers crossed about the shortlist jig....

They're cooler than a cucumber in an eskimo's larder. Ironically, the use of that hackneyed old sentence makes me 12% less cool.
I'm crap, I know. Very crap. It's been bloody ages since I was hear last, and I left that delightfully vague journal entry. So yes. Sorry. Really, I am.
So, things have gone on. Or, to be honest, they haven't really. I've been in one of those 'grey' moods, neither one way or the other if you know what I mean. I've meant to post...
