2007 - the beginning

Apologies. Me and my co-bloggers have been quiet for a long time.

The last time I wrote, I mentioned that we had some visitors for new year's eve. Mick and jULES arrived on the day before and we had an enjoyable couple of days together. It's a rarity and therefore a luxury to have such good friends visiting. Thanks for stopping by.

I've been busy as hell with work. So busy in fact, that blogging from work has been out of the question. This, to me, is ridiculous. I still keep thinking all the same things as before. I should try to find something else to do and yadi ya. I almost found something from the intranet but it turned out to be a money begging kinda job so I let it go. I need to have something that is varied, have to deal with various people and something that I can get gratification from in seeing that I'm making things happen. Some days in my current job I feel this and it makes me feel good. I even got a recognition £100 from my boss to keep my motivation up. Not sure if it made any difference for my motivation but it made me feel good for about a day. Then, back to square one.

This is all way too familiar to read from the previous posts as you know. I should try to get back in the habit of bashing the marketing departments and trying to be funny. Very telling (to myself at least) that there's something going on that won't allow me to relax and just piss about. At least we have a holiday coming again. Maybe I'll get my mojo back.

We popped to Finland for a couple of days as well a while ago, which was nice. There was a proper winter weather and it reminded me of my childhood. I've been doing this kind of thinking a lot - looking back at things I've done and how I've felt about certain happenings and events. Some obviously stand out as brilliant memories and there's always a longing to relive some of those moments. Fat chance, I know. This is why I should instead concentrate fully on what's going on currently.

I think that many of these thoughts have emerged as a result of turning 30. It's made me think for the first time that I might be getting to an age where I really should keep concentrating on the current rather than anything else. I am very happy with my relationship with Xinola and would not change that for anything in the world. At least I have a job and I'm not totally broke. I don't know what to think....

Again, I'm doing the same thing. Complaining. I guess that this for me is the purpose of this blog and I should use it more often to let some steam off. I can't promise anything but if you see more mindless ranting, it'll be just old little me again.

Time to watch some football. I'm away tonight in London on business and feel lonely. Hotels are utterly boring places with shit telly and rubbish food. At least the kind of hotels my company pays for anyway.

Man, almost forgot! A guy from office (white, middle-class, 22) has knocked up and girl from the office (white, chavvy, 18) and they seem to be willing to keep it. None of my business but I just hate to see these things happening. The baby has no future and it hasn't even been born yet. omg.

me. gone.
