joexnzSunday night - alan departs at 4 in morning
Monday night - sleep at 12:30, 5 mintues late into work, eat breakfast at desk
Tuesday night - repeat monday
Wednesday night - Leave work, work round old town and rapid pace for an hour, see gamer for five minutes, go to roleplaying, go to pub, get insomina
Thursday morning - about as tired as when I went to bed last night
On plus side, whilst charging round old town last night I finished my Xmas shopping (I ditched the idea of getting Kerry, Alfonso and Debbie presents and will invite them round on Jan 3 for chill out DVD thingee), decided not to get the meerkat gelatin leaves (will get them shortly and send them next year). So all NZ present are now bought, will do Xmas cards tonite and send tomorrow.
whilst charging round old town to buy said pressie I went into the Electric Caberet the local goth shop and was served by a cute piratical (he had goatee and bandana) goth and he was okay about me taking pics of the claw rings they have there for £5 each
Random musings
I don't have anything against vegetarians, but please don't insult my intellgence by using the man is a gatherer not desgined to eat meat (yup and thats why we chased mammoths off cliffs and into tar pits, cause they were eating all our berries, I DON'T THINK SO)
I call NZ a banana republic a lot of the time, but being a small open market economy has it's upsides, like being a flexible, modern outwardly thinking country, which UK just sometime isn't.
Anyway back to the update
And in other news
I still like my job, remains to be seen if this is the case in a few months, but I like helping people on the phone and cause thats all I really do, they don't interupt me, they are my job. And I really like that, I always said my job was to help people and I get to learn lots of new financially geeky facts.
Italy - must do update, but seems so long ago
Off to see steve earle in concert next week, oh yeah!!!
The Master Plan (not that I've actually consulted alan about it)
1/ Stay here for few more years, get permenant job and a mortage (here or NZ remains to be seen)
2/ Do Masters
3/ Have kids, two apparently (can you arrange to have twins???)
4/ when youngest is five move back to NZ
Okay that sounded better in my head, basically I want to end up back in NZ at some point. Though I suppose in some ways it might be sensible to see about doing my masters there as I get student allowance. But would be bit soon to move gamer back I think, he wants to spend a few years over here. I like Edinburgh as well, miche pointed out a biforcated (if thats the word) my life, and she's right. So either I shouldn't have gone back or I shouldn't have come back. gah!!, there are no magic answers, you just get on with the next day, the next pay check and evey now and again double check where you are and if you are okay there.
I have 11 minutes left until the end of my lunch break so some resolutions
no more majority private posts, if you don't like what I say grow a brain and stop reading it!!!
snacks before Xmas are not a good idea, salad pot for lunch is actually enough food, more is just greed and comfort.
that edinburghers LJ entry on taichi, go back and action it
you will be getting a shelf for your desk this weekend, start using it regularly
turn off the tv more often
tell your boyfriend that he's brillant when he does something right and not just seeth when he appears useless.
socialise more, professional hermit was a victorian occupation only
