Well, it's 4.15am, I'm due in work in a little over four hours, and I'm still awake, with no possibility now of sleeping and still making it into work on time. So what better way to keep myself up than by the continuation of my lj update?! Its productive, and will keep me focused enough that I may not fall asleep at the computer this time...

Well now! According to the trustworthy people at lj, its been 22 weeks since my last post. Which, I think we'll all agree, is a disgrace on my part! But don't worry, I'm still alive, and I haven't spent those 22 weeks idle. So here goes the update ( Read more... )

Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still alive and kicking! I know, I'm a disgrace for not showing my face on lj in about 9 weeks, but life gets in the way. What can ya do. Aaaanyways, a longer more detailed post on what the hell I've been doing with myself for the past 2 months will follow... Once I realise what exactly it is that I've been ( Read more... )

What is with Sundays? They're always so damn quiet. I've actually gotten to the point this evening where I'm wishing I had been rostered to work today, cos at least then I'd have an excuse to be bored. Instead I'm here bumming about on the internet, with absolutely nobody online to chat to. It's just mad! On the one hand, there's nothing like a ( Read more... )

I'm trying to figure something out here... How come the things that have to be done for self preservation hurt the most? I mean, if something is that necessary to keep you sane, surely doing it shouldn't drive you to the brink of madness... It just doesn't seem to make an awful lot of sense. Fair enough, human beings tend not to make sense most of ( Read more... )

Well now, it's 5am, and here I am, wide awake. The cause? Nicotine withdrawal. I had the great idea to quit smoking when I got back from Bulgaria. It seemed like a good time. End of summer, starting a new job. Why not? Had to happen eventually. And now I'm paying for the two months of poisoning myself. Its quite torturous. I'm frayed, cranky, and ( Read more... )

Well now, I'm back from my supposedly wonderful holiday in Bulgaria. Oh the tales I have to tell! So, we flew in last Friday night at about 9 or ten local time, after an hour's delay in Dublin airport. Got off the plane, and while walking across to the terminal, was trying to figure out if the balmy heat was coming from the plane's engines. Turns ( Read more... )

Ok, so I've discovered that getting drunk doesn't make the packing go away... I'm also now not sure if I should be using the iron... But these things have to be done! On the bright side, if something happens to me, you'll all know I was happy when it happened! :p

Well, I've been up 5 hours, have seen off my guests to the bus stop, and am off to Bulgaria tomorrow. Have I unpacked from BiCon? No. Have I sorted clothes for the trip? No. Do I have  a shitload of packing to do? Yes. And what am I doing? Sitting dossing around online and posting on lj! Am I mad?! I think so. Ooh, funny story. Apparently I was ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm marginally more awake now... And dressed, which is surprising. I've also made some great progress!!! I managed to only get as far as the kitchen door to check the mail before remembering to put clothes on! Woo! I'm getting better! But I'm still tempted to go out for a smoke semi-naked for the craic. It'd be funny, in a small quiet ( Read more... )
