*sings* "Come on me, let me feel your boner, on my nose. It's only natural!"
Work Christmas Do on wednesday night was good fun, would have been better had Erika been well enough to attend, but I still had fun without her. You don't expect to come home from a Christmas do with more money than you went out with, but this year we went to the Harlow Greyhound Track. Our Anual £30 per person Christmas allowance entitled us to dinner and £5 worth of betting money, but because half my collegues didn't show up for one reason or another, they ended up giving us £10.
I won 5 Races by the end totaling over £23. I won 3 races and £15 with the tenner they gave me, then I spent about 6 of that and won a further £8 but spent some of that on the last few races and didn't win anything. In the end I came home at least a Tenner richer. :D
I drank a little too much free wine though, seing as I've barely touched a drop of sauce in the past few months it went straight to my head. *UB40 suddenly starts playing in his head*
Sorry I wasn't at the pub on Thursday, the wife was unwell and I thought I'd stay home and keep her company, also I was a little hungover... :P
Oooooh in other news, I applied a few weeks back for an Engineering Technical Operator job working for Glaxos rather than the agency that I currently work for. I had to take a further two aptitude tests on Wednesday to get to the next stage of the application. I got the results today: Fault Finding: 4/5 and Spatial Awareness: 5/5
So I'm through! I've got an interview some time in January. ^_^
