I realised in the past couple of days that I have actually not been there very much for some of my friends and I feel bad about that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I went to the pub tonight with Pat. Why? Well I felt like a night out and I enjoy talking to Pat. So we went to the Kensington where there was a leaving do on and joined up with some other work people after a while and had a good night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Pool was good and not so good today. Undefeated in 4 games at lunch time but not so good in the evening where with effort Pat and I evened up in doubles but he beat me in two single games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Kronenberg have just launched Blanc, a white beer to test and we drank that for the night.

I was pretty much due to be in Dulles for two days in a couple of weeks but I so did not want to go. It was a horrible project and a horrible commitment and I so didn&#8217;t want it, I&#8217;m a little disappointed as a few days extra there would have been really great but I can&#8217;t be too upset, I&#8217;m damn happy not to go. (Sorry Mary, but it would have made me miserable for months.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I like my new boss, first impressions are good. I&#8217;m looking forward to getting to know him more.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I&#8217;ve pretty much said everything I had planned on typing so the rest is random.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Crossposted from the V. Thread context is school, cool kids and libraries.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Dublin when I was in first &#8211; third year I worked in the school library for lunchtimes&#8230;by choice.<\/p>\n<p>Two reasons<\/p>\n<p>1) I loved reading and I couldn&#8217;t afford books all the time, working like that let me take out as many books as I liked.<\/p>\n<p>2) The girl who I really really really really liked but typically managed to subsequently fuck things up with worked there at lunchtimes and back then spending any time with her at all was a good thing. <\/p>\n<p>I do have some good memories from back then.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Holy fucking shit. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2003\/US\/West\/09\/03\/drill.head.ap\/index.html\">Construction worker survives drill through head<\/a><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.cnn.net\/cnn\/2003\/US\/West\/09\/03\/drill.head.ap\/story.drill.xray.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right, some typing. &#8211; A while back I became aware that I was thought I was being there for my friends more than they were being there for me.
