Well, paintballing was great fun. :D I ended up being the only girl that turned up though, and now the guys at work think I'm vicious... I don't know what gave them that idea, lol. Ok, maybe it was the enthusiasm for being on the attacking team. Ah well, I got some good bruises for my trouble.

I've just finished filling in the probationary form for my current job. (What, it's nearly midnight? Well, some things are just easier at home with nice music going). I always feel like such a fool when I do these 'make yourself sound great' forms. I wish I could just go in and say 'yeah, I've been doing the job, I know what I'm doing now, here ( Read more... )

I really don't think my brain has engaged today. Everything I could do wrong at work, I did. Ah well, at least my colleague just laughed at me instead of despairing. We had a call with the evil client of doom too... I'm just glad their study is managed from the US instead of my office. I got an email from the US manager overnight... he must ( Read more... )

Ok, so I go on a date on Sunday, and it seems to go fairly well. Then the two days where I would usually see the guy (last night and this Sunday) he's going to be in Glasgow. I know he hates the phone, and he has text me a little, but he hasn't mentioned anything about meeting up again except where other friends will be around... hm, time to cut ( Read more... )

Well, it's certainly been a while. I was posting on anatri's lj and realised I haven't updated since October... oops. So, here's the last few months in brief ( Read more... )

Oops... once again I've not updated for ages and a few big(ish) things have happened for me. Firstly, I passed my driving test at the start of the month (1st time, so thankfully I don't need to pay again). :) I ordered my first car today. It's a VW Fox (a wee entry car) and it should be here around the middle of next week. Eee! New car! * ( Read more... )

I've managed to get a week off work... to job hunt, though I haven't told them that of course. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go back after the week, but it's not looking like that's going to happen, so hopefully it'll just be a few more weeks ( Read more... )

Well, work still sucks. They now have only two days left to get the weekend rota up for this month. I've requested this weekend off since Tracey, Neimah and I are off to see The Lady Boys of Bangkok as part of the Fringe Festival on Sunday. If they turn round and say at 4 on Friday that I need to work the weekend I may loose my head at them. ( Read more... )

Wow, I actually had a nice birthday for once. Yeah! I managed to get the weekend off work for a start (although I did have to basically say that they could schedule me to work if they liked but that I wouldn't be in either way - they chose wisely), and had a nice night out in Edinburgh on the Saturday. We went to the Jam House which started with ( Read more... )

Well, I had fun coming back from work today. The guy who usually gives me a lift had to stay late, so Vicky drove me back via the A71. We ended up behind a guy in a white Fiat who was either drunk/high, or a car thief that wasn't too sure how to drive. The guy was all over the road and speeding up to 50mph, then slowing to 10 for no damn reason ( Read more... )
