Memoirs of a Lunatic

^_^

My mate Dave is now a dad! 5lb boy, my God he must be tiny! I’m greatly happy for him ^_^ I know him and Jude will make excellent parents!
Their hoping to throw a little celebration party in the near future so i’ll get to see the un-named one I’ll have to avoid holding him though, i’m no good with babies O_o

And my mum was hinting at how wonderful they are… yeah, don’t think Sara would be too pleased

In other news the bathroom has its first coat of paint… the plastering work certainly makes things look much better. You know what i don’t get though - I wanted white paint, simple white paint… do they sell white paint? No would be the answer… i have ‘antique white’ paint O_o B&Q you bloody hippies!

And to round things off - Sarsy is coming over tomorrow!!!

I got the job! :D

M&S phoned me this morning - I HAVE A JOB!

They said its pretty boring - re-processor… i get to sort out all the products that are in the wrong place and stuff in the store. But it pays £6.24 an hour, more than i’ve ever earned.
I start training Monday through to Wednesday. then its part time temporary until September 30th… which actually works out since i’m going back to college. After that i may get offered work over xmas too… but with any luck i’ll get that study job i’ve applied for and be working there by xmas.

Feel safe?

I know i do! O_o
Seriously, walking back from any pub round here you don’t feel safe at all… actually its best just not to be on the street at all around 11 o’clock.
Guess its just a sign that things are getting worse round here… i usually don’t worry, i’m a pretty well set guy so i don’t look like an easy target - But when my mate who is 6ft 6ins gets a broken nose after coming out of the pub, it makes me realize ANYONE is a target these days.

Anyway, good time down the pub… did some in depth discussion on the possible Festival for next year… we have so much work to do. I mean ok you’ve got your stage and your sound rig, blah de blah - But then you have to think about having an ambulance on site, qualified first aiders, radio communications, catering, legalities, insurance, security and local law enforcement… the list goes on!
So, providing we get the go ahead, we have an awful lot of work to do… but i’m seriously looking forward to the challenge!

Drippin’ innit!

Been doing DIY… thought i’d be smart and wait till around 5pm to start it, but its still agonisingly hot!
Anyway, got most of the bathroom sanded down… i’ll finish the sanding tomorrow and get the plaster on the walls, then i can start thinking about painting the thing.
Totally picked the right time… shoulda done this in winter really. Ah well.

Chris is dragging me down the pub in a bit… i’ve got a copy of Cubase for him so we need to meet up for a bit. Be nice to get out of the house for a while and have a chat.

Jobness!

I had my interview today at M&S… Well, not exactly an interview, they make you do a roleplay where you pretend to be a customer sales assistant O_o
Anyway… a sort of deflated success. I got through and she was literally just offering me a job… then the other woman got off the phone - Unfortunately someone they’d interviewed the previous day had just accepted that job instead… i missed it by seconds literally!

There is light though… she said they were waiting for information on other jobs available. They were meant to have the info this morning but their now expecting it in the afternoon… aparently quite a few vacancies.

So very good news I should be offered a position within the week - And best of all i get to take my pick from whats available.
I think i’ll enjoy working for them… higher rates of pay and free coffee in the staff room

 So yeah, good stuffs!

And i’ve just spent about 2hrs downstairs cos my cousin Claire came over… geez, i didn’t realize she’d been with her boyfriend over 10yrs! I should stop getting drunk at family do’s, maybe i’d know whats going on then

Need sleep

Its true, i do… but thats beside the point.

Still haven’t recieved an e-mail from Andy about the festival… if he doesn’t email me on Monday then i’ll email Richard on tuesday and ask whats going on. Its annoying looking at stages and stuff… i always get ahead of myself!

Looks like i won’t be moving… basically my mum has a shitload of unmanageable debt, things have gotten pretty bad so i suggested we move in with my aunty to lighten the financial load (and we get £40k for moving out, which’d solve the debt problem).
My mum is moaning that if she uses that money to wipe out her debt, she won’t have enough to put a down payment on a mortgage… fucking hell, doesn’t she realize that we’ll get kicked out of this house if things continue like this!?
Well… what can i do? Nothing. And i’m out of here in a year to start my own life, so it doesn’t affect me in the long term… at the same time i don’t like her struggling like this, especially when the situation has turned her into a suicidal manic depressive.

Isn’t life fun

In other news i missed a phone call this morning while i was in the shower. So i go to check the phone and its my old workplace.
Heres the deal - Guy employs me as a barman, permanent 16hrs a week. I didn’t get anywhere near 16hrs a week, and when England went out on the world cup there were suddenly no hours for me to work. So he phoned me and said “If anything comes up i’ll call you”
I took it that i’d never hear from him again. But it looks like hes got the bollocks to phone me - I’m desperate for the money but if he phones again i’ll be telling him to stick it up his arse! I won’t be treated like that… fucking user.
Hopefully i’ll get that job on Monday… i’m gonna lie during the interview, i have no intentions of telling them i’m returning to education in September, i’ll just quit and say i don’t like it… They got a problem they can kiss my white ass!

And as a side note - at the beginning of this year i vowed that i would not be walked all over, and i would lie cheat and steal to get to where i wanted… i have no intentions of breaking that vow. The world is a shitty place, assholes get everywhere and thus i must be one.

A message to XIII

Damn you! You’re trying to assimilate the entire internet! Thats just too much net for one man to manage god dammit! =p

 Anyway, this would be my blog… a tale of twisted thoughts and random potatoes!

So whats up today? Well i currently have my fingers crossed that i can get my tax back from the inland revenue. While studying at college i’ve paid around £300-350 in tax. I DID think that students are exempt, but aparently thats now changed and we’re not O_o But i should be able to get the money back because you’re allowed to earn £5000 a year tax free, and i didn’t earn anywhere near that amount!

In other news i’m still waiting for Andy to email me - Basically me and my mates want to organize a one day music festival at college as part of our final assignments. The college did want to do that this year, but for whatever reasons it didn’t happen… so providing they don’t freak out over the budget we’ll require, i reckon we’ll get it.
Dunno what kind of money they’d be looking to spend on it… i reckon we can pull it off for under £3000, and if i can get the local radio station to broadcast from the festival and give us some plugs, then we should be able to make quite a sizable profit (although i’m very doubtful we’ll get any money… it’d go straight back into the college, but its gonna be so fun it really doesn’t bother me)
