Games at work

After a nice relaxing weekend and more days off then i am used to, i am now back to the great pleasure that is work. Today though, is a little slow, as we have plenty of work to be getting on with, but servers are being messed with and therefore are hindering us. Its a good job i was sent a couple of games to keep me amused. I think i will share them with whoever is reading this, especially Mad as she must be bored or may need a distraction from her holiday in Cheltenham (I could think of better places to go!). Try this http://www.holdthebutton.com/index.html (good to pass the time) and http://195.92.224.73/j20/content/host.asp which is very entertaining. And for you Rob, this is very good - http://www.doodie.com/whack.php. Enjoy.

Looking forward to the weekend

Yes, tommorow is the last working day of the week, and i have a nice long weekend to look forward to. I am going to wolverhampton tommorow, and am having friday, sunday and monday off. Thats heaven for me, as i normally work 6 days a week! It should be a good weekend, and hopefully weatherwise it should be good, so that i can take my car out in the sun, and do a Jeremy Clarkson-type review of it. Not sure i will be wheel spinning or smoking it like he does though. Must take care of my little beauty. Crazy weekend in store i think. Crazy but nice.

A nice car

I finally got my fabulous, fantastic car over the weekend and it is great. Its a nice blue convertible MG. I am a little nervous about parking it...if only i could fold it up and put it in my pocket. I also bought a new stereo for it, which was a fabulous deal. Its great. The car has given me renewed confidence and a new outlook on life. "You only live once and tommorow may never come, so live for today!". That sounds good doesn't it. Sometimes i even impress myself.....aaaanyway, i was browsing the internet and stumbled across a great quote which was applicable to all walks of life. Its from Cartman of Southpark fame, and it goes a little something like this:

Cartman: "I would never let a woman kick my ass. If she tried something, I'd be like, HEY! You get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me some pie!"

What a bloke! And for all you ladies reading, don't you ever forget it!

Oh my god, its been a week since....

...i have updated my blog. I don't know where that week has gone. I think i have gone through a time warp and not realised. Damn...i wish i did realise....aaaanyway, I have been a little busy at work and sheer laziness has crept in to my blog updating too. I am thinking about getting a new car. I am not sure which yet, but maybe a convertible MG. I am abit undecided as it is small and i hope it doesn't make me look too feminine. Please feel free to comment as they will be well received.

Its in

Thats it! Its over! After all the research, after all the reading, after all the writing, after all the typing, after all the meetings, it has finally been handed in and the fat lady is singing a fine tune. During my lunch break today, i managed to go and hand in my dissertation. Truthfully i thought i would feel a huge weight lift off my shoulder. I do feel a little bit of the weight shifting off me, however more weight will shift as soon as i get the result which will hopefully be coming in July. At least i have done it now, and i can now relax and not worry about uni for a while. Its quite a good feeling. I will now just continue enjoying that feeling......

I'm scared....

because i have just had my dissertation bound during my lunch break. It all makes it official, and i am not sure i want to hand it in. What if i fail? What if i don't do as good as i want to? What if i missed something and there is a big mistake in it. Oh well, i still have a couple of days to look through it and ensure that it looks alright. Its one small step for me and one giant leap for surveillance at the University!!!

Is it good to listen to music whilst you work?

I have started doing it. Mostly everyone else in my team does it. But is it a good idea? Listening to music while you work is relaxing, however does it help concentration. I, myself, feel better whilst listening to music as i work. Luckily the good thing is everyone uses there headphones to ensure no-one else has to endure their taste of music. What a great idea! Somehow i feel more motivated sitting at work listening to music, and i seem to do the same amount of work. What a great job i have!!

Choccie biscuits

I have found something that can only be described as pure heaven in your mouth - Cadbury's Chocolate biscuits. I am not sure if its because i haven't had chocolate biscuits for ages, but these little beauties are really nice. I recommend them!! I finally bought some maltesers hot chocolate last night as well as it is nice. Am i turning into a chocolate junkie, or is it just a phase? Only time will tell. Now all i need is alcohol flavoured biscuits or alcohol flavoured hot milk and then my life would be more complete. I have tried hot chocolate with a shot of baileys. That is nice.
