Just off to work as usual. I feel like everyone else took the day off today looking at these comments!
Preparimg for the frenzy of buying tickets for Take That…
I’m off to Metro in Nice to buy a load of supplies for an industry event in a couple weeks, then will go to the pub and drink some shots of Jameson, then drunkenly try and play DRG: Survivor on my Xbox.
Last day of the first week in a new job.
It’s consisted of reading Corporate Policies & procedures and doing mandated training. I’ve had one 10 minute conversation with my manager and not spoken to any of my other colleagues yet.
This is actaully par for the course in my line of work. Should pick up next week.
Wincing in anticipation of the total for fixing the roof put on by the previous owner of this house, a have-a-go hero clown bastard who never let the notion that he might not know what he’s doing ever hold him back from anything.
If you’re reading this Alan, get in the sea.
Metalcore Friday!
I’m coming down with a cold. 2 days before my Wife leaves on holiday so I’ll be on my own with two toddlers and a stinking cold. Hurrah.
Into central London for a self care day.
Catching up with a mate for breakfast and then need to decide which museum/gallery to go to, and will then find a food market for lunch.
Have been verbally told that offer papers for a job that I want are being drafted up. Not popping the champagne just yet, but if it does come through, it will make me very happy, and transfer me into a different sector of my industry, so very tentatively excited.
My youngest has decided she wants to cycle to school, so we are, despite my screaming knees and my bike being too small for me.
Then I shall spend the day writing and trying to find a stem and handlebars to change the geometry of my bike without being more expensive than the bike itself, which, thus far, is proving to be difficult as the bike was only £50.
Playing Madden 26, drinking hipster coffee and buying a fedora
Taking the bike out on my lunch break to see if I can spot the steam train that’s running for the Stockton and Darlington Railway 200 years celebration.
They’ve blocked off all the local bridges and hedges to stop people watching and designated precise viewing spots.
Our is on the far said of a road and it seems people will have to view through one way system traffic, up an embankment and through trees and a fence.
I’m hopeful one bridge is too remote to have been blocked or have a crowd.
Also: did not win Set for Life 🙁
edit: Our local facebook is a rage that the council have close all the roads and paths with less than 24 hours notice. The spot I had my hopes on is closed too.
Starting early at my cushy WFH job so I can finish early and go climbing with the Mrs. The gym is usually emptier on Friday evening.
Then maybe a pint, an easy dinner and a smoke.
First day off in 18days and I’m starting g with an obligatory McDonald’s (while watching a homeless guy set fire to his sheets on the street outside) then got a few jobs to do on the car, give her a full valet inside and out and might go away for the weekend
Currently having a waste management meeting then I’ll be fighting the urge to stuff my face with food.
Getting my first tattoo this morning.
***Work***: Latest manager’s left after 6 months, so today’s an exciting game of ***“find out which dead-eyed ambition-merchant is responsible for the tone of 50% of my waking hours”***
***Real life***: Going to watch some pro basketball with the family this evening. Really recommend it – exciting games, relaxed atmosphere.
I have a proposal to submit to a client, and my friend from Portugal is coming to visit at 2pm so at 2:15pm I will be in the pub at the end of the road.
Going on a date tonight but kinda losing faith in the whole dating game. Unconventional approaches to finding love welcome
Dirty Maccas breakfast because it’s payday, then watching all the money in the account disappear into the ether 😂
Working, then washing and packing for a trip to Oslo on Sunday. Waiting for a phone call from Oldest’s school about the latest round of arseholery directed at her by the pricks in her class.
Wife woke up with violent shits at 6am and feels like she might be sick so I had to take my son to the childminder this morning which then meant a frantic drive across the city to get to my work. The fact I was only 3 minutes late is a fucking miracle in all honesty.
I used to take him every morning but changing jobs meant that I can’t drop him off at normal time and get to work, so dropping him off 10 minutes early today was the only option.
Hoping for a relaxing weekend but I somewhat doubt that will happen.
I’m already down…with a nasty cold.
Got woken up at about 07:20 and can’t get back to sleep.
Only got two paracetamol left and can’t face the idea of going to the Co-Op to get more, so I’m putting off taking them.
Painting the bedroom walls because the kids are moving into the bigger room and I don’t think they want pink. After that will play Sims 4 and then go to work tonight. Living it up.
Another Friday to get through.
Gig in London tonight, so it’s going to be a long day.
I got a nice little bonus from work yesterday for some project stuff I had to prioritise. So that’s some Christmas pressies paid for!
Tomorrow is our boy’s 2nd birthday party. We’ve booked out this woodland activity place where he and his friends can run riot at all the little play areas that are set out, finishing off with hot cross buns and stories around the fire.
Sunday: recover.
This working all week thing is rubbish! At least I finish at 3, that is nice.
I’m almost fully registered as a volunteer for girl guides. I’m helping with my daughter’s rainbows unit. Tonight we’ve got a big event this evening with all the rainbows units in our division so that will be fun (but complete chaos).
By enjoying my bottle of Terry’s chocolate orange bailey’s!!!! 😜
Discussing travel arrangements with a pal for the ice hockey game we’re going to on Sunday and periodically swearing at my laptop.
I’m on holiday, and the plan is to do much less walking than yesterday.
