Month: December 2003

I just realised that I have some new movies. I can go to bed and watch a movie. I like this plan a lot. I need to bring Strev some new Sopranos.

So lets see, yesterday my team worked late and missed the first half of the tech night out to deliver a product to another team.
Today instead of waiting and delivering the product to the next step, that team fucked off to dinner.

I am so not impressed.

Man what a …

shitty day.
Tech dinner out tonight and of course work stuff is so fucked we get out late, miss the drinks before hand and are in a foul mood for dinner. So it wasn’t the best of nights despite a brave effort to improve at the end.

– I hate this country.
– I really need a girlfriend.
– I hate my bank.
– I hate banks in general.
– Few new cds, nothing jumping out at me.
– Few new DVDs, nothing jumping out at me
– No new books, nothing in the ‘to read’ pile jumping out at me.
– I so need a holiday. I am considering fucking off around Europe on the very cheap for a couple of weeks.
– I am wondering how I would pay for fucking off around Europe for a couple of weeks.
– I really think I would like to leave the country by the end of this month. I have the time to take off…but not the cash.
– Oh new CD which does jump out and take this RIAA!!. I heard Johnny Cash’s American IV: The Man Comes Around on an iTunes network…I torrented the full thing for at home…and guess what, yes I bought the fucking CD. It is some wonderful stuff. As Shug put it yesterday, the man really is a legend.
– I have come to a decision that some things really are not worth my time.
– I want to see Master and Commander and Intermission, one this weekend at least.
– I hate christmas. I quite like that my flatmate will be away for it for one main reason…I get to ignore it. Work all the working days, take no holidays for the time and have a normal non work day for the day. It’s worked well for the past few years.
– I may be having a new years eve party this year.
– I have a thought to leave the country for new years eve.
– I didn’t mean to blog, it has just started appearing on paper. Not sure this is such a bad thing.
– I need a new mouse.
– I like full stops in lists.
– I really should make an effort to start some items with something other than “I”.
– Nearly time for LOTR 🙂
– I want my PDA fixed and a keyboard for it. I must must must look into this. In fact if I can lay my hands on it now I shall have a look at getting it sorted tomorow.
– I need something to read and excite me. It needs to jump out and call to me.
– I need to get some more unpacking done and get another shelf assembled and get my books onto a shelf.
– I need a break. I need some time off away from my life.
– I would take some time off now but I’m in deadline hell and I cannot.
– Paris in two weeks…maybe. God I need it. Eurostar and 5 nights hotel and breakfast for £200. Hmmmm
– One quick im later…ended with the lines for the record I’m sober.

Reading, must be done. American Gods may now be calling me

So it was a pretty shitty day in work. I didn’t get out of there until about 10 tonight. Got to the pub with a couple of the lads for a quick drink before home time around 10.10. At 11.00 I suddenly slunk into some sort of depression almost instantly. I noticed I had still got most of my first pint sitting in front of me and figured it was time to go home, so I did.

I feel a bout of depression coming on for a while. I want to have a meeting with my boss in the morning to go over some of this stuff but I feel I already have and I feel it to be pointless, there is nothing we can do.

Gah.

Going to go and read and then sleep.

Just come home from dinner and drinks with John and Sandi from the V and my flatmate and her friend and it was a really good night. A really really good night. Good fun, good food and good company. Must be done again.

So I found out something in work today. I am not a genius. The fact QA have not been logging bugs in my project does not mean there are none…it means they have NOT BEEN LOOKING AT THE FUCKER!!!

Time to sleep.

I’ve just now found out that the Chilli Peppers live from Slane DVD is not the gig I was at two years ago but their gig from last year. Tis a shame, I would rather have the one I was at.
