This post was only slightly overdue.

ok, it's been a while eh?!

How are YOU!

yes you, the ever astute reader.

good I hope!

Well recently a LOT more has happened.

I'll bullet point these little beauty's.

1. Recently been working in the warehouse of my local Argos...
I am not saying for a second that I am more qualified or intellectual then the "management" division, But I do however think I could run that place a LOT better, the stock system is about 10 years out of date. The system requires us (warehouse guys) to unload the 15 ton's or so of stock (daily) unpack the stock cages, note(on a paper sheet) the amount we counted of each stock and compare this to the invoice, then transport this stock and place it in it's locations.
it's far, far quicker to use a barcode reader and beep off each box... anyway, not to mention the poor leadership management, where the leaders of sections are the people you NEVER actually see.

2.The adjustment of waking at 5-6 am from my normal comfy 9-10am is difficult.

3. Finding time for uni work is difficult, on my degree course i'd spent 3-6 hours a day of solid working, now i am lucky to get 1-2.

4.More importantly, finding time for myself seems to have disappeared completely. seems the older we get, the less we care about ourself, maybe it's just me who knows.

5.About a week ago I was pretty seriously ill (by my standards, theres obviously lots worse, I mean this is coming from someone who never took a day off work and had a almost flawless school attendance).
Doctors were not sure what was wrong with me, Strong chest pains, shortness of breath, and the worst of all (for me) Constant sickness whenever I ate. which led to a total of 8 days of not eating at all.
Apparently this was all due to stress.

6.My personal life has been up in the air and finally landed face down.

7.I still not got a car, just borrowing a friends at this moment.

8.Possibility of getting a flat (YAHOO) this would mean lots of drinking and lots of being away from my prison, oops sorry I was trying to type home.
The above image is a visual representation of me doing my best to fit in, I am the younger one, with no apparent skin color or morals.


9. The odd one out.

At uni, in my class, it's safe to say there is an age gap not sure how much nor do I really care, but there are other differences from background to personal culture. I am really finding it hard to fit in at this moment. I guess I have always been one to block out most people I don't often get close to people, but when I do I make friends for life and I am very loyal. so it's not all bad.
I am sure there will be a time when I bond with someone there (other than Phil as I spent the last 3 years with him:) )
There are a couple of students there I'd like to get to know, but again it's the wall i make that stops me getting to people easily.


but other than that life is ok, I bought my first video game since monster hunter 2. Lost planet, ill let you know if its as good as it looks.

peace.
