Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell (My winning song) |
] |
Things continue to go well here.
Job Wise, still with Rolls Royce, looking etremely likely to be taken on full term within the next few weeks, also sounds like I may be back offshore soon also as they require someone to go out to the Elgin Franklin to do a stock check soon. Medical and Survival here I come!
Still have to get round to getting home net access, it's on the back burner at the moment. Car MOT was more important. £350 of work needed to get it through.
Lovewise, things are still going well with Billy. We have our ups and downs, but then show me a couple that doesn't?
Housewise, STILL trying to get through that paper! Anyone got a welding torch? OK, a bit extreme I guess.
Fortunewise, had a bit of luck a while back just after my last update (I think) and anded up winning a £300 holiday at my local for winning the monthly Karaoke competition. As such, We'll be out of the country for a Fortnight as of Saturday having taken a well earned break to Gran Canaria. I can't wait!!!
Life is Good.

Things are going bloody great at the moment.
New House is slowly getting into shape, am in the middle of stripping about 5 layers of wallpaper off my lobby walls at the moment. Boring, dull and tedious doesn't begin to describe how this is going.
Job wise. I quit my job on Wednesday last week. Following an accident at work where I banged my knee up really badly (to the point where I couldn't walk for a week) my supervisor started to get really ratty with me and basically advised my to find a new job or else. Else turned out to be any really bad job he could find. So having had enough I went looking for new work.
I started my new job on Thursday last week. I work for Rolls Royce now as a Storeman. Cleaner work, less pressure to do ridiculously long hours and better pay. Only there on a Temporary basis through an agency at the moment though by the looks of things they're looking to make the role permanent under a Rolls Royce contract if things work out.
Naturally, I really hope they do. Anywho, running out of time on this public PC (No home access yet unfortunately) so gotta go.

For six months I have been wandering in the wilderness, now I shall return to civilisation.
Well, not exactly. I finally move into my own place tomorrow (As in Mine, Mine, All Mine Muahahahaha as opposed to renting) with Billy and high up there on the big list of priorities will be Broadband Internet access, meaning I can finally update this thing a lot more often.
In other news, I hate the flu. How can such a little bug knock you for six for a fortnight?!?
Work is Work. Nuff said.

your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT
Your style's goofy, innocent and feel-good. Perfect for parties and for the dads who chaperone them. You can actually get away with corny jokes, and I bet your sense of humor is a guilty pleasure for your friends. People of your type are often the most approachable and popular people in their circle. Your simple & silly good-naturedness is immediately recognizable, and it sets you apart in this sarcastic world.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Will Ferrell - Will Smith |

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 18% on dark |

More time has passed, I really must update this thing more regularly.
Unfortunately, not much has happened that would warrent an update.
Love wise, I'm still with Billy. Around 18 months now.
Work wise, I'm currently off injured. I crashed a forklift and split open my head. had to have 4 stitches put in. They get taken out on Wednesday.
Car Wise, I've still got the same one. One minor prang at a traffic lights. I stopped, the guy behind me, didn't. Got the damage fixed on the other guys insurance though so no big deal.
Future plans - I'm going to be out of the country for a week at the start of August. Making a trip south of the border to West Yorkshire to visit Billy's family.
Thats about it. Hopefully will update again soon.

Akkk!
Almost a year since I last updated this thing. Mostly due to a serious lack of internet access capability during the meanwhile.
Anyway, what's been happening in my life?
Job : Have one. Have had one for the last 6 months. I'm working as a Valve Technician for a company in Dyce. Decent work. Decent Pay. Hey it covers the bills!
Car : New one. Repeat after me. Cars are meant to run on their wheels, not on their roof. Yep, I crashed my old car.
Home : In Aberdeen. I have my own place now living in Rosemount with Billy.
Gotta run now. Runnning out of time on this PC

So what's been happening? Not a lot and most of it bad unfortunately. Firstly, as of today I'm out of a job. Contract ended up at the hospital.
Secondly, I get offered a job. Sounds good, I hear you say? It was. Offshore job, confirmed pending references. References I gave however, despite telling me they'd be happy to give me a reference when needed in future have turned round and given me a bad reference. Consequently, the position fell through as a result. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! It really annoys me when this happens! I mean, I'm experienced. I'm actually better qualified to do the job than many of the people out there. I'm just hitting this brick wall with regards to references.
Leads me to question whether I've just wasted the last 5 years of my life chasing this dream.
On a happier note, me and Billy are still going strong. Almost 3 months now that we've been going out.

Things are pretty much as they've been for a while now. I'm still working up at the Hospital doing Traffic Control there. Should be there for a couple more weeks.
Me and Billy's still together as well. Two months we've been together now and not a day passes without me thinking of how lucky I am to have her. Sure, we've had our ups and downs, some big hurdles for us to overcome together but doesn't everyone?

Quick update. Not much new happening. Still working for Manpower, I've been a Traffic Warden for the last week. Will be the same job at Foresterhill every weekend from now till April 5th. Moneys good, and I get the week off so things are OK.
Love-wise, I'm still with Billy. It's been almost 2 months now we've been going out now. She's pretty much the best thing thats happened to me for years.
Anyway, gotta go. Heading to Henry J's for Knights soon.

A month since my last serious update, how time flies, eh?
Lets see what interesting developments have happened in the last month or so.....
- Back to work. Am currently working in the Laundry at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Pay is, to be frank, laughable but at the end of the day, it's all I have to survive on....
- Received a phone call at home concerning an offshore position. It's only a 2-3 week gig but if the pay's anything like last time then it'll be worth it.
- Didn't want to post this one as the last few times I have things went wrong soon after. (what? Superstitious? Me? Nah.... ) I've currently been happily attached to a girl I knew from a while back for 2 weeks now. Life is good!

You are Form 9, Vampire: The Undying.
"And The Vampire was all that remained on
the blood drowned creation. She attempted to
regrow life from the dead. But as she was
about to give the breath of life, she was
consumed in the flame of The Phoenix and the
cycle began again."
Some examples of the Vampire Form are Hades (Greek)
and Isis (Egyptian).
The Vampire is associated with the concept of
death, the number 9, and the element of fire.
Her sign is the eclipsed moon.
As a member of Form 9, you are a very realistic
individual. You may be a little idealistic,
but you are very grounded and down to earth.
You realize that not everything lasts, but you
savor every minute of the good times. While
you may sometimes find yourself lonely, you
have strong ties with people that will never be
broken. Vampires are the best friends to have
because they are sensible.
Which Mythological Form Are You?

The time at home's doing me good. Returning to the madhouse tomorrow though, start work again at 8am at ARI in the Laundry. It's not much, but it'll keep me in funds for the time being.
Really need to start looking for a more permanent place to live through in Aberdeen as well.
Need to go get my hair trimmed as well, it's starting to get messy.

Been in Aberdeen for a few days, things are, if anything, more screwed up than before. Much badness happening around Thumper and Aimee at the moment, those who know the situation there will understand.
For me, my head is all messed up at the moment over this girl. Turns out that less than a week after telling me she doesn't want a relationship with anyone at the moment, she now has a new boyfriend... Aaaarrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!! I'll NEVER understand Women!
As you can imagine, I'm not exactly Mr. Cheerful at the moment.....
To top this off, a friend of mine was getting a lot of hassle last night by a guy who couldn't seem to take "Go Away" as an answer. Almost completely lost my temper with the guy, thankfully the bouncers grabbed him and threw him out before anything serious could happen. This scares me, I usually have better control than this but I was ready to kill the guy if he'd made a wrong move.....
On the Plus side, my throat's almost fully healed

Hope it's been a better one for you than it has for me.
- Flu. Heh. I wish.... Things would be so much easier then! Turns out I had an Abcess on my Tonsils so have spent the last few days in hospital getting that dealt with.
- Girl. Likes me.... A lot.... but doesn't want to get into a relationship at the moment..... So things crashed there. Wouldn't be so bad, except she wants to stay friends... This I can deal with. It's seeing her with other guys thats hurting..... Unfortunately, not much I can really do about it.....
- New Year. After convincing the medical staff that I'd be OK to go home for New Year. I spend most of the night at Moshulu. Me and Aimee hit the Karaoke singing REM's "Losing My Religion". Aimee promises to kill me if I drag her up again. Night slowly went downhill from there as I got more ill as time went on (see also above).
