Hello Internet,
Friday Night Inn.....Due to a re-accuring back injury, I have spent the best part of this week at home or seeing a doctor...
Got my first X-Ray done!! that has been a plus from the whole experience, one day maybe a visit to the hospital for the first time....(well not to see anyone anyway).....
Basically I have a bulging disc in my lumbar spine, which is a little bit painful...I have had something similar before, but that went away after a week and well i didnt have much cash to look into fixing properly....not that I do now, but I think it is time to take the whole thing more seriously.
Instead of trying to get it better because I have an event to go to or something that I held at great importance.....Funnily enough though, with this visit to Sydney coming up, it's great timing of course!!
Opps, hit enter by accident...Stupid keyboard, shifting keys on me!!
I tried these burgers I have wanted to try for a few months tonight, which was good...but I dont like their relish.....
I like hot foods, and im getting used to them, but the relish was spicy mouth burning stuff and i ended up not eat as much as I would of liked too...so next time, add coriander and no relish please:)
Oh of course there is plenty of things I could of done tonight, while my significant other is at a work do, But standing up for longer than an hour or two is quite hurty on the back....
I would of loved to see paul black out play in geddes lane, or meet up with a friend and have a drink...which could be sitting, but sitting at home and in a bar is quite different...
The luxury of being able to sit in the most comfy seat at home, compared to sitting in a bar with dodgy seating and cigarette smoke (which after a few drinks, is an ex-smoker tempted by the offer of a ciggie..........oh yes soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tempted....) Also the con of staying at home is that you have to provide the drinks or go get them yourself, and provide the entertainment....which could be better than at a bar anyway...but sometimes its nice to be on auto pilot and go with the flow........The social side of being out is fun too, meet some people or just having a good conversation with the company your are with at the time.
I have not been out for a while to see any live music and I miss that. I know currently my situation is not the best to be in that environment, But the music makes me feel very alive. Awhile used to be a week or two for me, a while is now monthly...or longer, which can be fine when your focused on a goal, but hard when you just want to let loose for a few hours. I do like the having a lot more money in my bank account aspect though....
I was trying to make christmas cards.....it was going ok, but yeah with a whole bunch of pretty coloured paper to cut up, you end up just looking at the pretty colours...I have attempted four...i need to make A LOT....
Have been listening to a lot of Bloc Party on my ipod....I think it needs to be updated with new stuff, I just end up going through and playing the same songs....Stupid versatile contraption!!!!
I tried going to work the other day with this back.....it deffinately did not happen for me....Lasted about 2 hours, but at least I tried...I do not think they cared that I made the effort....That place is going down in my books as the second worst place I worked, taking over DEE WHY RSL......At least they paid well and the work was easy.....This job could be a lot better if the company could stick with all the fads of how to make the "experience" at work better for everyone.... it has sooooooooooooooooooooooo much potential, I know of people that are there and that have left that agree...
Speaking of Christmas Doo's, Mine is on Sunday, but that is not going to happen, the owner has put it on at his local.....local PIZZA JOINT......not a bar or a function room... a pizza place....I mean seriously, theres hardly any effort put into it on his behalf, for the amount of work that everyone including myself has done so far this year for the company.
I think a bit more thought should of been put into it...People at work have said, he splashes out for work functions, because his staff work so hard...if that is splashing out...(leaves nasty comment)......But the whole thing is free and partners are welcome free of charge too...so I know theres sacrifices.....but there is alot better out there, that doesnt cost a bomb either.....And our store is the only store open too, so I also thought that was really unfair...His staff still have do work when the christmas party is on...
The store manager isnt going....he didnt get to go last year either because he was working....it does not feel very christmas like to me, more like bah humbug........
I am not really big on the whole christmas thing, the only aspects of it I like are .....
Spending time with loved ones
the giving of gifts
the receiving (as well)
having a few happy drinks and laughs
and sadly the christmas pudding with custard.....
I used to be into the whole tree decorating and stuff, but that was only so people in my family knew it was christmas coming soon...Dad was always working too hard so was mum and I hardly saw my brother, so it was a day of meeting up for a few hours with some close friends and talking shit and having a good time.
The thing I HATED about christmas was the fact that my birthday is exactly 14 days after christmas and a week after new years.....I have two words for you :combined present
That shits me, unless it is something like worthy of a combination, like a sewing machine or something really expensive!!!! Not a pair of socks or something dodgy....
At least I am with someone now who understand this issue and has gotten the same shit dealt to him...I love my birthday and all, but I am sure that you do not like having your birthday skimped on because it clashes with everything else......honestly
I also know it is an expensive time of year, I know at least 10 people in january that have their birthday before mine!! not to mention after mine... and I know they feel the same!!!!!so I know its expensive, but i'd rather people be honest and say I simply cannot afford two things, and I hold a preference for birthdays because it is simply the day that the person was born! If they were not born then they would not be here...Even just making a card is something!!
I just dont like getting stiffed because people use christmas as an excuse to just buy you one gift....that one gift for a whole year, the rest of you that have your birthdays later in the year get two gifts....
Thats enough about receiving gifts........as much fun as it is to get something special from aloved one, giving is also great too..picking things is very hard, and if you have a limit it makes it easier but still harder to stick too......its always if i spend that extra $$$ I could get this, so there has to be lee way, but me being the extravagant person I am.... it is hard to stick to that.....
I think there is a minimum $20 limit of lee way....
Anyway......I think this is the longest and prolly the most boring post for you all to read but it was fun for me....I should try and do more...but some weeks I feel like it and some I dont....and i cbf spelling right, so suck that...
Happy Holidays!
