So I got my face glued back together last night.

I wasn't planning to write another blog this week, but three things have happened that I decided could wait to be made public.

Firstly........

As you can see from the above photo I have acquired a cut just above my right eye.  I was at hockey training last, and for some reason I decided, that on this occasion, discretion was not the better part of valour.  Seconds later I was proved to very wrong as face connected with the ball.  So of I went patched my self up and drove to hospital (before anybody starts worrying in was not a particularly hard blow to the head).  45 minutes later I was leaving hospital with a newly glued face.

The next 2 are things that happened at work.  I discussed in a previous blog I have issues with work at the moment and the next 2 things were perpetrated by our 2 new team leaders.

The first one was done by the person who got the team leader role ahead of me.  On Monday she posted on her Facebook wall 'wishes she could choose who she works with. Sometimes people are just pricks'.  This probably wouldn't have too bad, except for the fact a lot at people who she works with are her friend on FB, and ended up reading it including myself. That is not to clever, and that is not mention the fact that she posted at 3pm when she should have been working.  Well, I had show Rex, but when I went on later it had been removed, so obviously the boss had a word with her.  Although, I am certain he probably didn't raise the question of why she was on FB.

The second was off 'sick' on Monday.  But as we found on Tuesday essentially it was nothing more that sever hangover from getting drunk on Saturday night and not getting in until 6:30 in the morning.

Sometimes it just hard to believe that people can do such ridiculous things.

But that basically it.  I just felt the need to share.  Hopefully you have read this far after you stopped laughing about my mishap.

Well at least this week as been anything other than boring!

Hello, my name is.....

So, as another week has roll by.  Another joyful week at work has gone by, the atmosphere in the office keeps getting worse.  Although I did manage to blag a couple of days out of the office by going to a meeting at a customer in Durham.  So Thursday night was spent in a hotel eating Tescos sandwiches, watching 'Scot Pilgrim vs the World'.  Which actually turned out to be quite entertaining, I would recommend watching it you have a spare couple of hours, especially if you are a Micahel Cera fan.  I will leave work there.  I could be raging all night at the ridiculous things that keep going on at work.

So I shall move on to this weekend.  This weekend was actually quite good, we won 5-1 at hockey, sadly I didn't score though.  But at least we won.  I we conceded after 20 seconds in the first half.  Man Utd also won, 5-0, and another Berbatov hat-trick.  To add to that Man Sh#tty also lost.  It is just a shame that Arsenal didn't lose as well.

Saturday night was spent at my friend Noise's hovel.  He rents a room in a house in Kingston (London - not Jamaica (unfortunately).  For those of you that saw my house on Horspath Road, it was probably on a par for disgustingness.

And finally especially for my brilliant and amazing big sis, a picture of me in the t-shirt she bought for my birthday.

This is quite from one if my favourite film 'The Princess Bride'.  Which I definitely recommend watching.

Big thanks sis.

A spectacularly bad start to the week

Well last week pretty much sucked.  So we will leave it where is in the past.  Played 2 games of hockey over the weekend, drew one, and lost one.  Have the loss was 10-1.  Very ugly.  The only mildly dim light on otherwise grey weekend was the fact that Man United some how managed not to lose to Spurs, despite playing quite badly.

But there one more misfortune to be plundered.  I need to fill up my car before Monday, so I decided to go the long way home so I could go the cheapest petrol station on my way back.  All was going to plan until having filled up on my home on to ran into a pot hole that can only be described as small crater.  I woke up to flat tyre.  So I changed the tyre, but when I check the alloy it had buckled.  So that is going to cost me at least £200, which I then have to try to claim back of the council.

So after that bout of joyfulness, lets hope the week get better as it goes on and I have some cheery things to write about in my next blog.

My Christmas gifts in pictures (for my sister)

Basically picture of the 3 best things I got for Christmas:

My new watch from Rex.  It is D&G don't you know.

My new knitted coat (Rex reckons it is a cardigan, but I won't wear it if she calls it that)

My new Star Wars t-shirt (and Rex's slippers)

And finally something I didn't get for Christmas, but big sis wants to see them.

Addidas Star wars R2-D2 C3PO Special Addition.  Cracking.

No I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth.

Sorry to my 3 avid followers, and my one stalker that I know about.  I realise that it has been a while since I last blogged.  To completely honest, a large part was because I couldn't be bother.  As written in a previous blog, I find it a little stressful, and often quite work to write my blogs.  So whilst I have Christmas, football and new Xbox games to play my motivation to write dwindles.  Anyway, thanks in no small part to the encouragement offered from dearly beloved sister I am back.  For some reason I am yet to comprehend, Bex and excellent chap find it amusing/interesting.

Back to the matters at hand.  Christmas was good, spent with the better half's family, who, thankfully, are all lovely.  I got very spoilt.  I will post some pictures of the wonderful things I have received.  Christmas lunch was spent at a hotel in Oxford.  It was very nice, but to me it feels weird to be going out on Christmas day.  I have only ever done it once before when I was in Australia, when I didn't have much choice.  I prefer to stay at home with the family and cook enough food to feed most of England.

Unfortunately I got ill after Christmas (which also added to my laziness with regards to the blog).  So New Years ended up being a quiet affair.  I went for a pleasant meal with Rex and was home by before Midnight to see in the new year will a glass of Champagne.

It was my birthday yesterday, again which was quiet.  I have now reached the ripe old of 31.  To be honest, I figured I would never make it to 30.  For reason I aways thought I would do myself a mischief before then.  So to echo my sisters reasons to be cheerful, I will try take every year as a bonus and try to enjoy it as much as I can.  Which as turns as it not always easy.

Anyway, I feel I have now rambled for far too long.  Seems I have got verbal diarrhea after not having written anything for so long.  Well, I will try not to leave so long between blogs next time.

Until then stay Safe.

Snow is falling all around us!

So, I am taking as long as my brother now between each post, only I don't have the excuse of travelling.  I think like many things I start I soon lose interest to keep it up.  I start finding things I would rather be doing (usually playing the Xbox at the moment).  I suppose the main reason is that it usually takes quite a long time right my blog mainly because it takes time to think I about what I am going to write.  And partly because I am being distracted by the TV whilst I write it.  My lazy self also thinks that the longer I leave between posts the easier they will be to write.

So anyway here goes.  Last week was good.  I went and did some serving of machines at one of our customer in Chester an visiting another customer near Huddersfield.  It took me 6 hours to get home, and then I spent a further 3 hours getting too and from the Westfield to do my Christmas shopping.

Friday was our department Christmas party, it was an alright night.  Didn't stay out that late.  It also started snowing on Friday.  So having spent most of Wednesday in the car, I spent 4 hours on Saturday travelling to the other side of Wycombe and back.  The traffic was hideous.  So spent another night sleeping on the sofa at my mates place.

I have spent the first 3 days of this week working from home, the first 2 days because of the weather, and today because the suspension collapsed on my car.  The spring had broken.  Thankfully it only cost me about £100.

The next time post Christmas will have arrived.  So merry Christmas to you all and I hope Santa Claus brings you everything you would like.

Actually quite an interesting week

Well, I think the atmosphere in the office has reached an all time low.  We finally had the kick of meeting for new team followed by lunch out.  This turned out to be 3 of the more uncomfortable hours of my life.  As my boss blustered through questions about how things were going to work, whilst being quizzed by the temp who is due to leave, and the new person who is taking her place, which we still hadn't be told about.  If it wasn't so depressing I think I might actually have fell about laughing, it was so comical.

The other person from our team who is also leaving (by her own choice), then had her exit interview and told the HR manger about all the problems in the department.  Another manager also spoke to the HR manager after speaking to some of our team at the company Christmas party on Thursday night.  So things could get very interesting this week in the office.  I am glad I am not going to be office until Thursday, I think things could be about to get a lot more uncomfortable.

Anyway, back to better things, we finally played hockey for first time in 3 weeks yesterday, and we won 5-1.  We had some our (Rex's ;op) friends round for dinner last night, which was nice.

I will be driving to Chester this afternoon to to assist with servicing at one customers.  Anyway, I think I shall leave it there for now.  I am getting quite hungry, and it is time for lunch.  Hopefully, I will have more interesting things to about the goings on in the office to tell you about.
