Blogin’ from work

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Well, seeing as we’ve got no Internet in the new house, although we should have soon, they’ve taken the money from my account to get it sorted, grrrr monies; I decided to give a little blogette during my lunch break.

Not really got much to report. Claire has finished Uni for another year, only one left to go and is currently looking for a job somewhere near to where we live and that she can just work day times in. She really doesn’t want to go into catering as, and I quote ‘I’m sick of working with arsehole chefs that don’t give a crap about you, sorry, except for you’. Well, I’ve been lucky in that I’ve only ever worked with some pretty nice chefs… most of the time, but I can see where she’s coming from. Chef’s perhaps don’t have the best reputation for minding their P’s and Q’s.

Also, seeing as the broadband is being activated, Sam is going to move in this week which means that we will all be moved in, woo. But how long will it be before that fabled first argument I wonder? Well, ok there has already been a couple but Sam hasn’t moved in yet so they don’t count. Do they?

Sometime in the next few weeks I plan to actually launch my new site design, I’ve been sat on it for a little while and once I’ve built the back end to allow me to actually post anything from it then I will get it running.

Right then, back to work, more security fun awaits me!

Feels like new

I said I’d update at the weekend but I was very busy! My entire life seems new to me at the moment. It’s simultaneously a fun, exciting and totally weird.

I have my new job which I’m five weeks into and it’s going great. I got to jump in at the deep end which was scary but has been a brilliant way to get introduced to the business. I have a new house which Claire, Sam and I got the key to on Friday. We’ve been shopping to Ikea twice already and bought a chest of drawers, a wardrobe and a book shelf and me and Claire spent the last two night building them. Our next Ikea trip will be on Saturday when me and Sam go and pick him up a bed frame. Today Claire sorted out the electric, gas and phone lines which is great! She’s a star!

With having the new house comes moving away from home. Some people might argue that it’s no big step but it’s going to be strange. I’ve been living away from home for the last three years at uni but somehow it still feels like you live at home. Also, everyone’s leaving or left. My brother James is at university in Swansea doing Biochemistry, my other brother Nick is living with his Grandma and working as a Farmer and Mum, Steve and my sister Kara are moving to Hungary in September. I just hope we can all meet for Christmas and things and have a good laugh.

I think that’s it for now, I’m going to watch the F Word and then some House with Claire. While I remember, I’m really looking forward to watching series one of Blackadder, Claire bought it for me as a moving in present! cool.
