Started work at 7 today, and the day just got hotter and stickier, by 9.30 I felt the need for a nice cold shower and pitied anyone who got near me. On the way home went to let Captain Morgan out for a wee, and I probably smelt that bad by this time that he was glad to see the back of me. Must be more careful when typing and realise that spellcheck doesn't cover everything as keep getting told off for my crap typing by Mr. Fesk. Had a lovely night last night, if a little wet. Ended up in Oscars drinking Sangria - nice. Got a bit tipsy then went home. Just an addendum to Mr. Fesks Ali G story - on the way home from the club we were obviously quite drunk, but I don't think I realised quite how drunk Mr. Fesk was: As we were walking along the beach I realised it was covered in A level students shagging in between the sun beds, when I tried to point this out to Mr. Fesk he just kept saying where??? They were literally 2 - 3 feet away from us!!!! I wonder how many people had to go to the docs after that holiday??? Last entry for the month no doubt, next time I write I will be much nearer 30, so I don't know how positive next months entries will be - 30, maybe its time to hang up my Toffs shoes and give in gracefully...... To think I used to take the mickey out of all the older women parading up and down micklegate and now I will be one of them, (without the white lace and cat suit I hope!!) Have no thoughts for the day today, in fact no thoughts at all!
Good afternoon, or is it morning? - god I hate working nights. Had some very good news though at 1am this morning, I picked up an e mail telling me that I have passed my registered mangers award that I has been the bane of my life for the last tear and a bit. This is like an NVQ 4 in management but is tailored for managers of care homes, and it is good timing for it to come through as I ma looking for a new job, and this definitely ups my chances as everyone managing a care home by 2005 has to have one, and hardly anyone does so all employees are having top pay people to do it, which costs a fair bit, so if you've already got one - (which I now have due to my last company being on the ball and getting us enrolled a year ahead of most people) then it means they automatically comply with new laws, which they obviously see as a bit of a bonus!!! So hurray for me!! Picking it up at 1 am was the crap part as I was very excited and had noone to tell - sorry about the late night phone call ;) Anyway, in a very good mood as was my last night until next week, and am meeting my lovely boyfriend at the station when he gets back from worky stuff and we are going on a date!! Thought for the day: How come 2 weeks ago I was laying on a beach in 44 degree heat, and now I am finding it too hot to sit in the back garden???? Makes no sense.
Well, I feel that there will be many linked to sites with input only a slight variance to a theme, mainly the free day at the races. This was a good day, managed to drink plenty, not be sick and get home without any major concerns. Even made it into town, where Mr. Fesk after 25+ large G & T's started on the Moet - miniature bottle with a straw, I hasten to add before any of you mistakenly think my man is classy!! (only joking baby ;)) Won naff all, even though I bet on all but one race. Although it has to be said that for the most part I had to rely on others to tell me I'd lost as I think I only managed to watch 2 races. Having a private box was good (I know....) meant we didn't have to fratanise with the scum. although few of us did agree that there is something to be said on going to the cheap side and drinking warm lager and eating burgers. Anyway, whole weekend lost to alcohol, Friday night was spent drunkenly pulling up peoples old lino, and having indepth conversations that were hard to stop going off at a tangent - dead bodies were involved!!!??? anyway, was back at work last night - hate working nights, although did see a couple of interesting progs on body language and how your body best deals with the fat cells you throw at it, hmmm I feel another gym spell coming on, wish I could organise my life to be more consistent in that area. Quite a long entry today (I know.... ) that's what happens when you work alone for 10 hours, and normally have to talk for Britain, I can't stop rambling. One last thing though... Its August on Sunday - The month I turn 30!!! Can't believe it is here, have always dreaded it, and even though a vague acceptance is kicking in it is still scaring the crap out of me!! One good thing to take my mind off it though is the party that will be occurring - venue and DJ booked, most of invites out, people planning outfits - 80's fancy dress, should be stunning........ Thought for the day: Glad they found that murder suspect blokie, has been tres creepy working alone at night down the road from where it happened (girlie and irrational I know).
Was up at 6 this morning, and it was indeed a lovely morning, even aside form the fact that whilst hanging out the washing I was confronted by a half chewed blackbird - a present I then left the love of my life to deal with when he got up at a more reasonable and less stomach churning hour. It even remained a nice day when I got to work for 7 and found that there were too many staff so I May as well go home - at least I wasn't wasting my day off wallowing in bed, and even found it in my heart to give the waifs and strays from the number 4 buys route a lift into work. I'm a bit tired now though, which seems to be preventing me form doing any cleaning, and focusing on other things to keep me awake: Think I need to go shopping, as I feel there may be a need for a new bag for tomorrows free drinking event, also looking forward to playing with puppies at lunch time. I need a new bag because I am now old enough and with enough experience of such matters to pre plan for drunkenness and pain, things that tend to go hand in hand when you are wearing really nice shoes!! As there may be walking tomorrow I am pre planning to take a pair of flat shoes as well as the gorgeous ones my lovely boyfriend bought me in Leeds the other week, also some plasters. Am really quite looking forward to tomorrow, free day at the races, one of my best mates will be there too (get us, with men, at the races, and it is free :)) and also new friends too - and it is all free, tell me what gets better than that. Did I keep mentioning it is free..... So anyway, hi ho hi ho its off to the shops I go, its pay day yip yipitee yee!!!
Morning, Have had a busy but ok morning, started work at 7, but finished now, and going round to a friends for some lunch in a bit - mmm. A while ago I went with a couple of friends to a day at the Buddhist centre in pocklington - which was very interesting, although I did have to question if it was wrong to fancy the Buddhist monk taking the course!!! Anyway, the gist of Buddhism is that if you treat everyone with a 'mind of love' that this will come back to you (a mind of love basically means, that even when people are really annoying you, try and focus on the good things and not the bad, for instance when the old woman in front of you at the check out is fannying around and you are in a rush, try not to be negative, and think nice thoughts about how you would want someone to act if it was you fannying and them waiting!). Now, I think that this is quite a nice way to try and live your life, but I have to admit that this morning on my way home from work I found it very hard to lend a mind of love to the old bag that came within inches of hitting my car!!! Also today it really struck me how much people are hung up about the hierarchy within their jobs. Up until recently I was the manager of where I work, but jacked it in to give me time to focus on my next move (thinking about doing my post grad in social work - but more of that later). Anyway, took someone to see the doc this morning, and was surprised to find that as a support worker I am now spoken to a lot differently than when I was the manager, differently in that it is presumed some of my brain was removed along with my title!! One he realise who I was, we were again chatting as if I had an IQ - it was weird, and has also made me make a mental note to ensure I never speak down to my staff, and that a title does not (and in most cases definitely not) prove ability. Just put the guineas on the unmowed lawn - wonder how long it will take them to devour the wilderness - not long I spect.
Hello well what to say. The advent of this minor miracle for man and one huge technological Leap for a fala has come about due to plain and simple boredom. I have now got bored with reading others logs (although the one comfort in that is to be reassured that most of the time other peoples lives can be more mind numbing than your own). Makes you appreciate what you've got. Something I don't feel I do enough. keeping to that vein, I have also decided that this will be a source of positive vibes - I will endeavor to keep my moaning, whinging, bitching side out of this in the hope that this will encourage me to see the more positive things in life and therefore be the kind of person others look forward to chatting to, rather than someone whose cup is always half empty, as I have been informed by a close fellow fala I am at times want to do!! Anyway, I feel it is necessary to inform my fanbase that I am fairly computer illiterate, and most of the time have to wait for Mr to help me out, but I have nearly set this up on my own so am feeling very proud of myself. Right, gonna log this now, to see if it comes on Line - fingers crossed.........
