Where did March go?
Well, readers, I'm fully into the swing of this new-fangled "work" lark. So much so that in looking back over my clocked hours, I worked 250 hours in March. Near enough 1/3 of all time spent working. In hindsight, not a massive amount (average working week equaling 160 hours a month) but to go from 0-250 was a major shock to the system. It basically means I have virtually NO social life and no time to spend my wages. I can't decide whether or not that's good.
My umming and ahhing over what to do with my life after leaving the evil police of doom frustrated me a great deal these last few months, and starting a proper job has cleared my mind a lot and caused me to focus on my job aspirations, achievable targets and job satisfaction. With that in mind, I phoned Merseyside Police today and told them I want to join their ranks. The ball is rolling on that one. I have a meeting next Thursday at HQ in Liverpool. This will mean operational policing, being a proper copper, rather than a plastic one. I have aspirations to specialise after my 2 years probation too, but we're a little far off from discussing those here and now!
News on Mirv Towers is that we've received an offer to purchase the ultimate party venue, predictable below the asking price, but we pay people to sort those things out, so hopefully the proverbial ball is a-rolling! Anyone wanting to welcome a burly security guard who gets up at 4am for work into a vacant room in their house in the near future, let me know!
FITNESS!! Yeah, still working on that one! There's progress. It's slow, but it's there. When I truly get my head round it, I might even include some stats on here. Not just now though, they ain't too impressive!
What else shall I blather on about? Hello to everyone at 12 quays. Especially to Gail, who makes a crackin cup of char! I bought a Jet Washer today after about 4 years of wanting one. Naturally I've opted for the industry leaders Kärcher with their trademark yellow plastic. I just hope our water pressure is good enough to use it. Hello to the South East of England! How's that hose pipe ban going? ;-)
In just 9 short days it will be the 1st anniversary of owning my current car (oh, how I loathe it) and naturally of M1RVX, my ostentacious registration plate. Reckon I'll give the old girl a wash and blow dry for her birthday.
It's been lovely to have some uni-type friends about recently, and I look forward to seeing some more of you guys over Easter.
FYI If you swallow chewing gum, it harmlessly passes through your digestive system in-tact (much like fibre) and out in your stool. The 7 year myth, is how long it would take the HCl in your stomach to break it down if it DID stay there. Your best bet is to trash it, but don't spit it on the fucking street, or stick it on things. I hate that.
