I'm starting to get even more private work coming in, i guess more time on WoW is going out the window! It's good though, i really need the extra cash so starting next week i'm going to get on top of any outstanding work i have - that's right, next week! I've said it now!!
Not been up to much the last couple of days, just relaxing after how busy work has been. I was very lazy last night, i popped round a friends house but wasn't that late home, probably only about half 7 but really didn't want to cook. So burger and chips from the shop over the road. Can't really complain at under £3 for dinner though? probably not all that nutritious, but i was feeling lazy.
Pinch, punch, first of the month.

Today was a bit different. They actually let me out of the offce, and that doesn't happen too often. I went up to Northampton with a couple of the guys at work for a meeting, was actually very useful. We even managed to get back down just for 5.30.
Dad came round tonight, Tracy was having some party thing - can't remember what it was for, but you know, one of those women party things. Dad didn't want to be a part of it, which i can understand. So we had a drink, grabbed some food from the chip shop and i showed him WoW.
Just finished watching Desperate Housewives and i'm knackered, gonna go to bed.

Late 2 days in a row to work! Not my fault, i blame the weather and the m25. Yesterday there was a 3 lorry pileup on the m25 and every route to work was solid, took me almost 2 hours to get in. The journey home was a lot better.
Now this morning i woke up, flicked on the tv in bed and the first thing i see is another snow warning, but this time the map showed Aylesbury just in the 'High Risk' area for snow. Brilliant. So i had a look out and it was right, high risk. Took me just over an hour to get to Dads and then 45 minutes to get to work from there.
People think it's funny how everything slows down here when it snows, people are late, buses don't run, schools close. But it's just as simple as we're not used to it. This is the first day this year it's been like this, and we get maybe 2 or 3 days like this a year at the most. It didn't look like many roads were gritted, there was tons of snow even on some of the main roads.
Friday again. Not up to much this weekend now, i did have some plans but they've been shifted to next weekend now. I'll be in work tomorrow, as long as it doesn't snow any more and then i'll try and get some private work done sunday i think.
I still haven't had a chance to go through all my private emails, that's been over a month i think. Sorry to anybody that i haven't replied to, i've just been neck deep in work and can't concenctrate on anything else.
Monday 7th March 2005
Not a very eventful weekend. Worked saturday morning, after struggling out of bed. Really didn't do much the rest of the weekend! It was good though, just managed to get some time to relax, which lately has been rare. Work is really starting to get in the way of everything at the moment, at work and at home.
It was mothers day yesterday, i tried calling mom a few times during the day but couldn't get through, kept saying the number wasn't recognised or something. When i finally got through she said that they were having similar problems calling England. She hadn't recieved my card yet, my post always takes ages to get there or doesn't turn up at all.
Tuesday 8th March 2005
You know how i said that work would probably get a little quieter now, well, i was wrong. Barely had a chance to breath today. It's good though, much rather be busy than set around doing nothing.
Had a friend round tonight and we made fajitas, by we i mean she made them and i ate them. But apparantly i kept getting in the way in the kitchen. I also showed her WoW, just to try to explain how people can spend so much time on it. She created a human mage, but only because she liked the clothes 
I was impressed with how easy she managed to get to grips with it and by the time we stopped playing it was 40 minutes later, i think that sort of showed how easy it is to spend time on!
I think i'm going to have to get some stuff done on my car soon. I noticed today that the clutch seems to be making a noise, great, that's not cheap either. I'll try and get some sort of price over the weekend.
Wednesday 9th March 2005
Hopefully I won't have to do anything about my clutch, my Dad says that it's the thrust bearing, which as long as it doesn't get any worse shouldn't cause any problems. Just my shocks to do then...
I got home and just fell asleep on the sofa this evening, i don't think i've ever done that before. I was just so tired. I woke up about an hour later and was feeling much better, grabbed dinner, played a bit of WoW and have just finished watching Desperate Housewives.
Off to bed now for some more well earned sleep.
Friday 11th March 2005
This week has been really busy again, and i'll be in work tomorrow morning again!
It's weird how some people get so worked up about things. It takes a lot to really stress me out, i feel it's a lot better to just deal with things and not get worked up or stressed with them. I'm sure it annoys people when they see me so relaxed about something when they're stressing like crazy, but it's just the way i am. Life's too short to spend the whole time worrying and kicking up a fuss, just make the most of it and do what you can. Like all the work we have on here, i don't worry about it, i just work harder, come in on saturdays - do what i can. What more can we do?
Not out tonight, the plans i had fell through, i think i've said that before! Should be doing what i was doing tonight tomorrow night now.
Monday 14th March 2005
The weekend was sort of a bust. I did have plans but the 2 people i was going to be seeing over the weekend were both ill.
This morning was fun. I heard on the radio just as i'd gotten in the car that there was an accident on a slip lane to the A41, but they said that the actual A41 was clear. So i went for it. It came to a stand still at the Tring/Berko exit. Apparantly there had been another accident which had closed the A41 there! So i had to get off there and take the scenic route through Ashridge.
A great start to the week!
Tuesday 15th March 2005
Maybe i should register www.shextalksaboutworkallthetime.com, cause that's what i'm about to do. again. It was manic today, and i don't see an end to it yet!
Had a friend round for dinner tonight, i cooked a sizzle and stir sweet and sour chicken. We watched CSI, she left, i had a bath, then i played WoW - hadn't played for a couple of days.
It's late now so i don't have much to say, i just need to sleep.
Wednesday 16th March 2005
I've booked friday off work!! I found i've got more days holiday left than i thought, i've still got 3 days to use by the end of the month. Somehow i don't think i'll be taking them all, but we'll see. Friday i'll just dig in and get my private work done and out of the way. When, and only when, that's finished i might play some WoW. I've got a few other household things i need to get done too.
I know, I know, how exciting is my day off gonna be?! i know you're jealous, but do i look bothered, eh? do I?

Driving to work down the a41 today i noticed at the side of the road it looks like a tip. It's probably been like that for ages, don't know what made me look. I don't really understand how people can just throw stuff like that out the window. I remember one girl where i used to work used to throw anything out the window. One time we had just had a mcd's and she'd put her rubbish into the brown bag you get and just throw the whole lot out the window! I wasn't impressed, i mean i'm no 'keep britain tidy' freak, but i don't litter and doing something like that was just plain lazy and irresponsible.
Ooooh, i'm off work tomorrow! Quite looking forward to a short lay in, then getting some work done. The weather's getting a bit weird, it's getting warm? Very odd. Just wish they'd turn the heating down at work, it's roasting.
Friday 18th March 2005
Today was a mixed one. I've had the day off work and this morning I got the private work out of the way that i haven't had time to do for the last 2 months! So that's all done till i hear back.
I don't often spend the day in Aylesbury, so I made the most of it and met up with a friend for lunch in town. Turned out more of a shopping trip for her than lunch, no surprise there 
The weather today was gorgeous, so instead of sitting indoors on the computer as usually happens when the suns out I went out and made the most of that as well! I went up to Ashridge woods equiped with my camera, a couple of bottles of water and in a t-shirt and filled my camera up. Not too sure about the photos, there's a couple of good ones, but i just shoot anything and find the more i do that the better they look. I was walking through the woods, avoiding the paths and trying to catch a photo of a dear or fox - they're damn quick - and suddenly realised i was walking in Ashridge in a tshirt in the middle of March. Very odd.
All in all, it was one of the best days off I've had for a long time, felt good to get away from work this afternoon and put everything in the back of my mind. I definately have to do that more often, I'll have to look for new places to go.
Here's the photos from today
Saturday 19th March 2005
I was just reading something on YH and i thought i'd share a thought here. It was about compulsions and rituals. I think I have a lot of these, i'm sure, just ask my ex. One big one is the arrangement of my jean pockets. Left pocket has to have my phone and wallet, right pocket for keys and change or money i haven't put in my wallet. I used to keep my wallet in my back left pocket, but i found that i started getting a dead leg so put it in my front pocket and it sorted it out. If things are in the wrong place or missing i get very anxious.
When i'm in bed my phone has to be in it's phone holder by the side of my bed, if i turn to look and it's not there i get in a bit of a panic. Washing up - the cutlery goes in first, wash glasses, mugs, measuring jugs, cutting boards, pan used to cook rice/pasta. Then in goes plates and bowls, wash cutlery (as it would have soaked good by then). Wash plates and bowls, then lastly any pans that have been used to cook sauces/stuburn crap that'll ruin the sponge and mess up the water.
Oh, and all food is to go in the bin prior to getting near the sink and not down the drain.
Seriously, i have tons of these things. I might have to come back to this.

It was a girl from works birthday friday and she had a birthday do last night. It was near work so after i just met up with a few guys down a pub before we headed off last night to the do. The taxi driver on the way there was a bit of a nutter, though he did only go up on the curb once on the way there... I keep getting flashbacks today of things that happened, best left unsaid though i think. It was a good night, i didn't have the hangover i deserved this morning, i just feel shattered.
The weather yesterday was like friday, warm and sunny. We actually sat in the pub garden! It's gone today though, back to being overcast and i'm sure the rain is coming.
Now, I need to wash my shirt, see if that cake will come out.
Tuesday 22nd March 2005
In my living room at home the wall behind the tv and radiator has always been very empty. I've been thinking about what to stick up on there. I'd quite like some mirrors, maybe a large one in the middle and 2 smaller ones either side, that would be cool. But until then, i'm going to be looking for a picture to rasterbate. I saw this months ago (maybe years?), so if i can find a decent picture and find someone with a printer and a lot of paper i'm gonna print one off and get it up on my wall. I'd guess it won't last that long above the radiator because of the heat, but it should look cool for a time.
Maybe i'll go through some of my photos, see if there's anything i can use... I'm thinking i'll do a black and white one.
Thursday 24th March 2005
I'm feeling crappy today. Yesterday i started feeling like i was coming down with something and when i woke up this morning i just felt like staying in bed! My throat is killing me, luckily i found i had some max strength throat lozenges so i've come in to work armed with those. Can only take 8 in 24 hours though, guess i'll make up the rest with Soothers and Lockets.
Bank holiday weekend coming up. Not too much planned, got a housewarming to go to saturday afternoon/night. Hopefully the weather will pick up again so they'll bring out the bbq. mmmm... bbq food, sun, beer and England playing - this weekend might not be so bad. I'm just going to stay clear of the motorways this weekend, i've never enjoyed easter weekend traffic sat on the M1.
Saturday 26th March 2005
I have a cold. I've gone through just about every tissue at home that i can find and am down to using toilet paper till i go out and buy some more. I'll look like rudulph by the end of the weekend.
The other day i was looking at watches, i've had my one far too long, i usually get a new watch every year. I'm very picky about them too, i'm liking this one at the moment. But i'm not too sure yet. Anyway, this morning i go to put on my watch and the strap breaks in half. yup, now i need a new watch. I'll have to get one during the week, i feel naked without my watch.
Weather is coming and going today, it's warm and the sun keeps making an appearance. Hopefully it will stay out so we'll be having a bbq this afternoon.
Sunday 27th March 2005
We had a small bbq yesterday, the sun was in and out most of the afternoon, but was still the first bbq of the year! I had a few drinks, watched the match. I went to sleep an hour later than i thought, damn that british summer time.
Had dinner round Dads today, always nice to have a roast dinner on a sunday!
Not planning on doing much tomorrow, will be happy just having a quiet day in before going back to work on tuesday.
Tuesday 29th March 2005
I must have thought to myself "oh, that's what i'll write on my log tonight" about a dozen times today. Now it's come to it i can't remember what any of the things i was going to say were. Maybe i should just take a minute when i think it and write something down, or email myself - that usually does the trick.
My fire alarm started letting out short bursts a minute ago. I managed to whip it off the ceiling and put a new battery in it.
I'm really battling to remember something that i wanted to write about, but i don't think it's going to happen. I'm too tired now. Damn it's frustrating when i can't remember things.
Maybe tomorrow.
Wednesday 30th March 2005
I can't get that damn song out of my head, the song they've put on one of the 3 adverts - "if you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of me ...... " aaaaaarrgggh!
Noticed today that i've not been having time to do my usual exercises that i had been doing for the last year. Mainly due to being knackered when i get home from work being so hectic. So, I'm going to attempt to get up half and hour earlier and do some in the morning - we'll see how that goes. I'll probably end up being knackered during the day instead.
I just noticed a clock that i haven't moved forward.
