Spring has sprung
My, it's been a while hasn't it?!
Let's catch up with news. I did actually finish my driveway. Before and after pics will be in the gallery soon, as will some nice photos from the last few months.
But why haven't I updated the site for so long? Well, I've been working for a living. I say working.... If you scroll down to my last update you'll see I got a job with BT but was pretty unsure about what my job title meant. Well, it's tech support for all BT business products, but mainly Mobile phones and Broadband. I was delighted to receive a promotion in February to "floorwalker" which means I wander about helping the other analysts. They're all good, so I'm not particularly busy. But then neither are they. C'est la vie. The TA is still ongoing but I don't get there as often as i'd like. I'll be looking towards a promotion there too, but first I need to do grade exams on the Sax. I only need to do grade 5, but I'll probably go for 8 if I can be bothered practicing my scales. Photos of me in uniform will be added to The Gratuitous Hall of Mirv in the gallery in about a month when my new scarlets are approved by my commanding officer.
"Mirv, weren't you losing loads of weight?" I hear you cry. Well yes, I was. Then I got a job. For some reason, you don't burn as many calories sitting at a desk as you do ripping up 50 tonnes of driveway without machinery. But despite this I'm making slow and steady progress but building some new muscle too.
New Year. Generally a time when I pretend not to get all excited about "just another night" passing. I spent it with friends at Jessi's house. It was jolly nice. To be honest, almost 4 months have passed and all I can remember is copious amounts of cider. I may also have kissed Gaz just after midnight.
Oh yes, my birthday has passed as regular as clockwork (well, slightly more regular if you're being pedantic). I turned 25 at the end of February and celebrated this with the Hope sisters and Katie's boyfriend in Chester. I had a splendid time, thank you girls (and Oliver). Again with the gallery, despite the photos of me being dreadful.
Moving. Well, possibly. It looks like we've finally got a buyer for Mirv Towers. All being well, we'll be homeless by July. I have a tent, and nobody's back garden is safe. I'm looking at YOU, Jessi. Ensuite Foozball arena! ;-)
Single.... But actually dating for a change.
So yeah. Sorry i left it so long. I'll update sooner next time. Promise. XxX
