Well here we are the first day of 2009 is coming to an end, having looked at my last post I noticed that I have not posted for three months, why ? I am not sure, I guess I lost interest, I also stopped posting on www.film-talk.com about my viewing habits and on www.dvdaf.org about my DVD and Blu-Ray purchases, the new year is always a good time to start fresh and make an effort to begain as I mean to go on and all that, my continuing battle with depression is continuing much as it has for the last year or so, I am trying to keep taking my pills and get my prescription filled in plenty of time to avoid running out, my job is going OK but has come to an end (as of 16/1)it is not something I am used to; being told I have no longer got a job, except the whole business going under thing last year, I need to get something sorted out, at the moment there is nothing much out there, what with the ever present 'Economic Downturn' I think my best bet is to get a few temping assignments whilst I look for somehting that I can really love.
Anyway, I went to bed at about 3am this morning, I was messing about on www.facebook.com and half watching TV, New Years Eve was pretty much the same as usual, we had dinner with Karley's Dad and watched the fireworks display in London on the TV at midnight.
We were intending to chill out for the day so after a late breakfast /early lunch of Sausage and Egg muffins Si came round for some Call Of Duty action, we played for a few hours and then Karley and I watched the surprisingly decent Prom Night .

Rain Rain Go Away
It has been a really funny week, it started off cold then got hot then was windy and rainy, I guess what we had of the Summer has ended, oh well, I am a Winter person really.
The week was fairly uneventful aside from visiting our head office in London, I had to get the 7.25 which was of course delayed, the day was actually for an induction thing which was actually pretty boring, there were just various people from different deptartments that where wheeled out to tell us what they do, yawn ! The afternoon was a bit more interesting, we visited a large development that is currently under construction in Islington, North London close to the new Arsenal ground.
I was interested to read on www.digitalspy.com that 'Ghostbusters 3' is pretty much a goer, it is going to written by the guys that do the US Office which is excellent, although finding out it will be animated was very depressing - 'TMNT' anyone ?

2 Months
Oh dear, it has been nearly two months since I last osted on my blog, I feel bad as the last entry really left people hanging, I scared a few people I think so I wanted to fisrtly make sure people knew I was ok and pick up where I left off so to speak.
Nothing much has changed, I am still working my socks off at Southern Housing Group, I had my 3 month appraisal and did pretty well, I am still uploading bits and pieces to youtube and watching Movies whenever possible, as from today it is the re-launch of the kennel.

So this is Summer then is it ?
I am a really bad blogger having not done any updates for ages, it is now July so you might be thinking it was Summer, well, after walking into work with my umbrella again I beg to differ.
Things haven't really changed too much, I had a meeting with the bank manager earlier in the week and found out that the loan that would have been the answer to most of my problems was not going to available to me, I didn't take the news too well, in fact when I got home last night I drank a bottle of wine and half a bottle of Brandy and had what could be described as a breakdown, fortunatly Karley wrestled my anti-depresants out of my hand before I made a big mistake.
I had to work last Saturday for the first time with my new company, it wasn't too bad as it was until 1pm and it was a little more laid back than a normal day, when I got home I had a bit of a cleaning session before going to see my Brother and Sister-in-law as it was her birthday. On Sunday we went and hung out with my parents for most of the day watching the Grand Prix and playing cards before going out for dinner at th always excellent China Brassery.
I have been trying to not buy any new stuff for the last week or so but Fining it pretty hard, I succumbed to 'Rambo' on Blu-ray which I almost instantly regretted but hey, I might as well keep it !

Busy week so far
Wow it has been a real busy week so far and it is only Thursday evening, I have done a couple of hours over time this week which is ok as it brings my total for the month up to 29, payday is middle of next month so it really can't come quick enough.
I had a spot of luck whilst I was walking out of the office on Monday evening, I bumped into a bank manager I vaguely knew through my old boss, I mentioned to him about my current financial situation and he said I go and see him to talk about the options I have, I am seeing him next week so fingers crossed.
On Tuesday I went to see my Brother's 7-a-side football team, the Billingshurst Beavers, play in the Summer league, they were playing Kings Arms Ajax and lost 3-1 it was pretty funny watching a load of late twenty year olds puffing and panting around the pitch, we hung on for a quick beer.
Yesterday afternoon I went on a work field trip to The Isle Of Wight, it was pretty interesting, there was four of us from the office, we were over there to see what the office did there and shadow some of the people on the island, we had a few drinks last night and headed to bed at about 11.30, I woke up at 5.00 unable to get back to sleep I lay in bed with a splitting headache, got up and improved my hangover with a big cooked breakfast, we worked all day and caught the ferry back to the mainland at about 5.

Back to the hamster wheel
It was a nice weekend, I spent Saturday just chilling as usual with some time spent adding my first ever video to youtube and putting in some GTA4 time, I am really impressed with just how big the game is you could just spend hours driving around the city, I wonder how much like New York and the surrounding areas it actually is, I hope that the next one is in London.
On Sunday we were supposed to go swimming, I thought it was strange that when I arrived at Pavillions In The Park my Brother and the girls were still outside, Sophie then informed me that we weren't going swimming as Daddy had forgotten the swimming stuff, we hit the park instead for a couple of hours of assualt course and zip line action as well as the old school favourite that is the see-saw and swings.
Karley and I went over to my parents as it was my Dad's Birthday whilst they were away, I got the old man a Pavarotti CD and a book about Historic stories of valour and selflessness, he liked it so that was pretty cool.

Turns out I am not a stuntman
Yesterday I tripped over the power cable for my laptop and hit my wooden lounge foor hard enough to knock the wind out of me, send my bottle of Corona flying and dropped my bowl of nuts, I am a really painful thigh now, I am sure it is only a matter of time before a techni-colout bruise appears as it was hurting so much through the night I woke up several times finally getting up at 6am.

2 Gadgets
This week I got my blackberry as I mentioned last week, it is really smart and dead simple to use, it is pretty cool getting my emails sent to me, I never realised quite how much crappy spam I get sent but at least now I can read it on the toilet. 
I also treated myself to a Flip video cam, I have a DVD camera but find it massive hassle to use and the discs are a pain to get hold of, I am really interested in making VLOGs to put on youtube so look to the right for a link to my channel:

First day of Summer
Yesterday was the first day of Summer, this morning it is grey and windy with some rain thrown in for good measure, it is, however, really humid which is always horrible, I have just worked up a sweat walking to Roffey Griddle for a big fried breakfast, my plan for the rest of the day invloves me smoking a couple of cigars, playing with my new gadgets (mentioned below) and maybe doing a bit of ironing.
This week has been much of the same really, working over time and not really doing a whole lot else, I had to pick my Mum and Dad up from the Airport having just been to Portugal, the flight was delayed and didn't get in until 12.25am they finally got out of the terminal at nearly 1am, just want I needed after a 10 hour day, by the time I got home and finally got to sleep it was about 4am, nice one ! I started work at 8.30am so needless to say I was like a zombie by the time I finally got home on Thursday evening.
