I have been out to lunch with workmates for a birthday celebration today 
We went to a place called Noodle Noodle! It was nice Quick and fairly cheap too
One massive plate of noodles, chicken and mixed veg later and I am ready to go home and sleep 
Yum yum yum

I love my car insurance company!! No seriously I do!!
I had a query about driving other cars and unfortunately my policy didn't cover it, so the lady I spoke to, went of, investigated a bit and has got it changed over all in about an hour!!!
Wow.... helpful insurance people!! Who would have thought it????

I am currently trying to work and compose a suitable cover letter. The trouble is I am still not sure what to put in this letter! Some people say it should just be "please consider my application... etc" but others think you should try and sell yourself!! I am more inclined to go with the second option, however I could make it too long.... (skill matching with the job desciption ya see...).
I am also worried people will see my degree, not know what it is, and discard me becuase they don't understand 
I really wanted this application in before Friday!!
Hmmm I keep hearing the tap running in the kitchen and thinking its raining
Oh well just one more day left at work this week

I am having a few issues at the moment.... the first is that I am so tired I feel like falling asleep at my desk!! I didn't sleep too well last night, a combination of worrying about getting to work on time and having the strangest dreams, involving me driving and parking at work which I'd never do as I don't drive in London!!
Also we are having drive issues here.... the one we primarily use is full and no one can save a thing!! Arrgghh!!
Is it 5pm yet??? Where's my mp3?? I need soothing music... *selects Linkin Park....*

I am having a nice relaxing day at work today... mainly because there's hardly anyone in!! Our 10 man team is down to 4 people at the moment due to leave/sickness and many of the engineers are off!!
I am also sitting listening to music I haven't done that in ages!!
I am also making a shopping list Very domestic
And I am working, don't think I am slacking, I am the queen of multitasking

Almost slicing a finger with a razor blade in the shower, I remembered something i have been meaning to post for ages.
Its one of those memories almost buried.
It was approximately 20 years ago now, when I was in year three or four of lower school. I used to have a rucksack for my books and my lunch, I only ever used the main pocket, I had no reason to use the little ones on the front!
One day after school however, I was at home, and I reached into the little pocket for some reason, I can't remember why, but imagine my surprise and my mum's absolute horror when I pulled out 4 or 5 razor blades. These were not the safety ones you get today but the slim double edged blades that my dad and my granddad used to use.
Naturally mum went up the school because someone had put them in there (I think my dad had a beard at the time so it was unlikely there was any in the house). Eventually they did find the little boy who'd put them there, I hardly knew him so it was most likely a chance thing rather than someone holding a grudge or something! I can't even remember what happened to him! I have a feeling he may have been suspended but I can't guarantee that.
I wonder what type of person he turned out to be??
It still makes me shudder knowing how much I could have cut my hands on those blades. If I had reached in with a little more force... but there's no use I speculating as I didn't and was fine, just a little shocked at the time!

Is it me or did bank holidays used to be more exciting? When I was young, it seemed great to have an extra day at the weekend, nice to spend it with my family, often there seemed to be things happening. Even if there wasn't there was always lots of films to enjoy on tv!
Today just feels like another Sunday. I have nothing planned, and with only a freeview box the only film I have found is "Cool Runnings" on BBC1 this afternoon!
Don't get me wrong I am grateful I have an extra day off work, even if I'm not paid, being a temp, I just wish I had something exciting to do!!
Instead I am here with my laptop, and my head is beginning to hurt! I'd go out but am car-less meaning I can visit the little shop down the road and thats about it!! Or the gym... although it takes a good 25 minutes to walk there, leaving me feeling like I've already had a workout before I have even started
I did bid for something like this yesterday....anyone else think I may just have an addiction???
I think now I shall go and take a long leisurely shower

Isn;t it funny that one thing i life can make you forget how much you love something else? With everything thats been going on lately I have forgotten what it feels like to sing, and sing properly!!
I am taking this opportunity where I am alone for a while to re-aquaint myself with this
It feels like coming home
@ 22.08.2008 – 15:22:05
Of my day off... I have now come to the conclusion I am a domestic Goddess.....
@ 21.08.2008 – 17:04:17
I am in my last hour of work before my extended bank holiday weekend...and its going slowly 
I thpought it wouldn't be too bad today, after all we were all out at a Turkish Restaurant for lunch... yummy!!
But this afternoon has dragged on a bit and I am now falling asleep at my desk.... 
I am sure the time has stopped again... 
Hmmmm I am feeling sooooo tired I really hope I don't fall asleep on the train home tonight...

I've been having a relapse and feeling things I haven't felt in a while, after reading a few things.
But you know what? I am annoyed at myself for feeling like this and telling myeslf, quite convincingly that it doesn't matter.... I am better than that, better than some deserve...
And there is someone who has cooked me dinner and made me lunch for the past few days, and maybe, just maybe they do deserve me
Isn't it funny how some people can make you feel like crap, yet there are others out there who have the power to make you believe in yourself??
@ 18.08.2008 – 14:22:56
I have a monday morning feeling today I actually think I would have been better off at home today... I was a little bit ill yesterday and feel absolutely drained today I may see if I can leave a little early today
I also wish I had been home to see the mens team pursuit final! It sounded awesome I have gotten into the Olympics a little, but more interested in the cycling and swimming than the track events, even the events that have brits in them, I'd much prefer watching the cycling or the rowing.... they seem much more exciting some how!
Ah well only about 3 and a half hours to go...
@ 14.08.2008 – 13:58:12
I just had a lovely lunch... I bought myself some mini Houmous pots and brown rolls to dip in them from Sainsburys Yum!!
And then I had the most gorgeous vanilla yoghurt I have ever tasted (also from sainsburys)
Yum!! I want more now...
I just thought I'd share with you all this little lunch update....

It was absoultely pouring with rain as I reached the station this morning. Luckily there was no queue so I was able to get my ticket quite quickly. I go through the barriers, look at the train time - 2 minutes late... not too bad really... then I see one cancelled... not mine, the one to St Pancras a few minutes before it. Great I think, I'll be getting on one packed train!!
So I go onto the platform, hiding under my brolly and the stairs so I don't get too wet and wait for my train.
In about 5 minutes or so it's announced... The 07.56 service to Sutton calling at.... and then.... "this train will be made up of four carriages"
4??? Grrrr!! One exeptionally packed train at Luton then! With 3 more stops of people trying to cram on like sardines. I'd be lucky to find a seat with only 4 carriages on it! Not a problem with the usual 8!
I did get a seat luckily. I spotted it just after the next stop and moved down the carriage to sit squeezed between a gentleman reading his paper and a lady with a fat bum or so I thought. As it happened she was just leaning trying to take up as much room as possible, until shortly before she got off when she decided to sit up and move over properly!!
I ask you, are there any people more selfish than commuters???
Anyway, It was a bit strange, I was standing on the platform this morning feeling cold and wishing I'd brought my coat when I remembered I had been dreaming that I'd been wearing my big winter coat and by the feel of the cold I am sure I'd have been just right if I'd have been wearing it

I was really disappointed to hear today, Tom Daley's synchronised diving partner blaming him. Maybe he didn't perform as well as he should, maybe neither of them did but there was absolutely no need for him to verbally attack him so publicly. (Here)
For something that is all about team work and unity and things like that it was absolutely unnecessary. I just don't think that it give team GB a great image to hear its athletes fighting and publicly bickering! You'd expect there to be bickering and fighting behind the scenes, after all there's so much adrenaline and nerves flying around you'd expect it but its something that should be behind closed doors I think.

Ouch ouch ouch, my head hurts My job situation isn't helping it, trying to sort out AVG due to its error state isn't helping and most of all...
Someone bringing their car boot down on the top of my head yesterday really didn't help It may just be the cause though
@ 08.08.2008 – 21:36:18
Just found Chicken Run on BBC 3 so I think I shall go and watch that
@ 07.08.2008 – 10:40:33
I am having a real "can't-be-arsed" day. I've even quite writing a blog because of it I can't seem to spell today either
I can't find anything interesting to do so I can't be bothered to do what I have got...
Although I was very happy to realise on the train in that it was Thursday and not Monday, which it felt like! Just 2 days of work to get through and then 2 days of relaxation!
I gave yesterdays agency a miss, and maybe I didn't do things completely as I should have but registering with an agency shouldn't be a hassle. I shouldn't have to chase for an email more than once! I shouldn't have to at all really!!
Anyway I am sure I shall find other things to apply for and I have a few people in mind to talk to over things
I think now I shall go back to work get some coffee to assist in the productivity of my work....

Only this morning I was wandering along the platform at lackfriars station, looking at the grubbyness and thinking
"I bet they close this to redevelop soon..."
And lo and behold I am currently reading on the intranet about how they are closing Blackfriars for redevelopment!! Ok its the underground station they are closing but I think I was close enough....
@ 05.08.2008 – 16:30:48
BORED! I am sooooo bored! Ok I have a fair few things to do but I want something that makes me think, something that isn't mundane and boring and repetitive!!
Why do I find it so hard to find anything remotely technical???
Gah!!
