Jingle all the way...

Must...update...blog! Its not like I've got a lot going on right now other than college (my brain hurts), work (my pride hurts), moving house (my back hurts) and lurking with friends (ooh curry!). And Crimbo shopping. Yeesh! Somehow I came to the conclusion that it'd be a good idea to get it done early and since my college skills test (ugh, why all the stress? It was so easy in the end!) is all finished I figured it might be a good idea to hit the shops now rather than waiting. Its just difficult figuring out what to get for people. THIS MEANS PEOPLE COULD END UP WITH SOME PRETTY RANDOM GIFTS THIS YEAR. I've already got the QI Book of the Dead for my Uncle Steve, a big fan of funny yet seemingly useless facts. Personaly I think he'll find the fact that as an infant Oliver Cromwell was stolen by his Uncle's pet monkey fasinating! It made me lmao anyways. But at least a shopping trip to Bluewater produced most of my Crimbo gifts so now I just have to figure out what to get for the few people I have left.
College was supprising tonight. I got it. For once I actualy got it. I understood what I was taught, I got my work finished in record time and, although I'm probably too old for it, my tutor gave me a smiley face after he'd marked my work. He has no idea how happy that smiley made me and I'm sure as hell not going to tell him, but I was so happy I thought I'd burst from pride. It just made me feel like I was doing things right, finaly.

Calling all penpals...

Its 1:58 in the morning and I just went penpal hunting on Livejournal. At 1:58 in the morning when I'm all sleep deprived. Can't remember who's posts I've replyed too or what I wrote in my own post so who knows who I'll end up with.
I have vague memorys of someone with barbie pink hair and no eyebrows. I can't be bothered to check my posts now, too tired.
It'll be a nice supprise for tomorow...probably.

Countdown to Incompetence.

My skills test has to be in by 9:30 tomorrow, it has to be all neatly typed up, I haven’t done a thing yet. Tell a lie, I printed off my CV and now, with the help of wikipedia, can answer the question on job rotation. As far as I’m concerned Job Rotation is an office thing and I don’t work in an office, therefore I don’t really know a lot about it. Where I work Job Rotation is being sent to the Witham shop at the last minute and spending a nice, relaxing afternoon with tea and Keith. Actually I haven’t been asked to do that for ages, like the Witham shop (especially the tiny one) and I enjoy working with Keith, who kindly puts up with my constant nattering.
But unfortunately I don’t think that’s the kind of answer they want on the skills test.
Thanks to wikipedia I now know that they want me to tell them that Job Rotation is designed to give workers more experience in their working environment, to reduce boredom and increase job satisfaction. Only I somehow have to stretch that answer out and make it longer. Maybe if I use a really big font size…
Hmmmm…
Either way I suspect I’ll fail the test and be deemed “not competent.”

Boxes. EVERYWHERE BOXES!

I asked my stepdad if he could get me some boxes for packing my stuff in and he got me a pile of boxes that nearly reaches the ceiling, DAMN! Thats a lot of boxes. Never mind, the packing has started and now I somehow have to condence a whole one bedroom flat into two rooms. What to keep, what to scrap and what to store? Never thought it would be so difficult to deside and since me and the rodent are still crashing round my folks house I haven't got a lot done.
I guess the biggest problem is I'm an unstoppable horder. While sorting through one box I found a magazine from 2007 - shouldn't I have recycled that? I also hate getting rid of stuff that other people have bought for me JUST incase (and pigs will fly first) they find out I've gotten rid of it. Never mind, I've got until July to get all of this sorted out anyways. I just need to consentrate on the important stuff, like:

• Its my Mum's birthday tomorow...I've left her present round my flat and I can't get to it. Argh!
• My skills test is due to be handed in by 9:30 on thursday, have I started to type it up? Nooooo! Crap!

Ugh, never mind, no point moaning. It'll all come out in the wash! :D

Meh...can't be arsed.

Really I can't. I just can't get it together today, autumn blues I guess. Didn't want to eat a healthy lunch so I dragged myself out and bought some comfort food - pizza and Dr Peppers. Now I'm in front of the computer, collecting some comfort food infomation because my cookbook doesn't really have any comfort food in it other than Soul Cakes, a good roast chicken resipie and a couple of King Cakes. Once I'm back in the folks house I might start a food blog. Until then I really can't be bothered today. I have to go to college, but don't really want too. I should have started my Skills Test but I can't be bothered and I should have signed up for my AAT membership today but...meh. Can't be bothered.
I hate it when I get days like this.

I've desided that the thing I'm lloking forward to most about moving back in with my folks is the freedom I'll have. I'll be able to afford to learn to drive. I don't want a big car, just a little old thing. But on a weekend like this one? Out of work friday, saturday and sunday off, 12:00 start at work on monday? If I had my own car I could have gone away for the weekend and I can think of dozens of places I'd like to go.
