December
So, I'd completely forgotten about this blog until I watched a programme about the internet last night detailing such things as: the invention of the internet by Tim Berners Lee, growth of wikipedia, the unique and obscure rise and rise of Arctic Monkeys and the blogs of ordinary people. So, it prompted me to write this. I have to say though, it's not compelling me to write daily entries, I just can't be bothered.
So back to me, cos that's why you're here isn't it?! I've gotten myself a job. I'm to be a Servicedesk Analyst on a commercial helpdesk for a BT Manpower contract. No, I don't know what it means either, but I'll find out on my first day, Monday.
Such is often the case in life, you wait around for something and then two come along at once. I have two jobs. This one is rather a hobby though. I've joined the Territorial Army. But don't worry, dear readers, I'm not off to Basra just yet! I was enlisted as a musician. This will basically mean that I can get my fingers working again on whichever instrument they want me to play, and get paid for the priviledge. And yes, I've got a uniform. It's nice.
Single.
I've been getting into my books recently. Such is the free time of the voluntarily unemployed. I've just finished Tony Hawks' 'A Piano In The Pyrenees.' It's a comfortable progression from his earlier works: 'Round Ireland With A Fridge' 'Playing The Moldovans At Tennis' and 'One Hit Wonderland.' You should read it.
I'm sensing that I'm just advertising things today. I'll stop that now.
Those that know me best. No, those that know me, or actually have simply heard of me know I'm easily pleased. Which is why Paramount Comedy Channel (I'll stop advertising in a minute) has been my saviour. King Of Queens, starring Kevin James (Albert Brennaman in hitch) and the beautiful Leah Rimini (various sitcoms including playing Stacey Tortelli in Saved By The Bell). Not to mention Scrubs, Frasier, That 70's Show and Seinfeld. But Ijust mentioned them, so why did I say "not to mention?" Hmmm.
The driveway is almost finished. I've been fighting against inclement weather. Sand, by its very nature is somewhat absorbent, which makes levelling and laying blocks on it a nightmare. No matter, we've only got a step and a bit of edging to do and it's done. And I'm proud.
I went to the Doctors yesterday with a bit of lettuce hanging out of my arse. The Doctor said "Hmmmm, bad news. That's just the tip of the iceberg!"
I'll get my coat.
