hahaha max i have bad news for you hun, i have a new job starting at the end of this last one - i will be a professional map geek for a further 12 months :p
i am quite excited by the possibilities of this job. I will be working and learning loads more about database and data mining, hard work but it should be a great experience aaaaaaaand i will be coming to America for a field trip, so i think i shall be coming out a week or so earlier so that i can come and visit the flock :D too good an opportunity to miss ;)
but it has also been abit of a rubbish week, things with the blonde haired boy have finally gone completely pair shaped and it hurts a lot. If i am going to be fair it probably had been for a while and i hadnt realised just how bad. Although as my friend Simon pointed out it will probably be better for me, for all he cared he was so busy focusing on his own happiness and the status quo for himself he had no time for me or to help me. And he always put so much pressure on me (unknowlingly) for nothing to go wrong that they always did.
So a week of highs and lows
luckily with my current job i can work from home, and cos on top of this I have flu as well i have taken a day home working and am not getting out of my dressing gown for love nor money. It also means i dont have to suffer my random bursts into tears happening in public at work. Although the bad side is, as i'm not getting out of the dressing gown i cant really go down to the shop for chocolate - damn didnt think this one through
and hopefully max is going to come up trumps with the Boom idea, cos I definitely dont have anyone else to go with now this has all gone wrong with the boy, and i really really want to go!!!
oh and finally cheers flynn for my card, i like it a lot :)
and many thanks to Simon and Maddies to making me laugh last night just when i needed it!
anyway i suppose i ought to actually do some work really!

The New Job
Well I made it through my first day at work and I survived! It wasnt too bad either.
Spent the first couple of hours with no-one really being sure what I was supposed to be doing, had a big long meeting in which theoretically I was told what I had to do but in such a jumbled, disjointed and chaotic manner I am more bewildered than anything, then spent a few hours trying to get jobs started and not really making headway as its all still very new - like it does tend to be when you start a new job.
Lol but it wasnt too bad really, mostly just confusing. It's lovely to have a job where I know and enjoy the company of a lot of the people who work there, and that actually works sociable hours, I have already been home, had dinner, had a nap and then got up again all before the time I would have gotten home from the call centre.
And for someone like me, how can having a job as a map geek be in anyway a bad thing?

apologies
As you can tell from the last post I am a bit behind on my posting, i am writing them at work but not managing to type them up. Mostly because I have been ill, with flu, properly ill, i hallucinated with fever for most of the weekend. if mum hadnt been there to get me into bed on saturday i'm not sure what would have happened to me.
That combined with revising for an exam and having an unexpected job interview yesterday has left me a little short of time, to be honest my few spare moments have had to be taken over with sleep in order to cope.
But on a really really exciting note i have anew job - a 3 month temporary contract working as a research assistant - w00t just what i want to be doing with my life, so a step in the right direction indeed - i will tell you more about it when i have started on monday
I know this means my saga of call centreness is over before it has really started but i hope you can forgive me on this, the people who i have introduced already are bound to keep featuring in my life so it wasnt a complete waste!!
Right this sick sparkly fairy needs yet more sleep, will catch up with the blogging soon i promise!!!

Thoughts from Sunday
Note to self: self do not try to set up a wireless network when it has gone midnight and you're really ill, this sort of situation is not conducive to anything going right, least of all anything to do with technology.
Oh and dont forget that apple support line workers are clueless!
p.s Bosch and Oli might have a point (and yes that did hurt to admit that - hope you dont read it) flapping gets you nowhere, especially with technology!!!

The BBC
As I am sure I have mentioned before I love to check out the BBC news website, not only for the days events but for the more random stories that my attention is often drawn to (for true randomness check out the also in the news section).
Today my eye has been caught, and my heart and imagination captured, by the stories of two men, seperated by hundreds of years. One a medieval knight and the other a WW2 veteran. Both are heroes in their own right, and both have inspired awe and respect in their contemporaries as well as those of us who follow on in time and would love to follow in their footsteps.
Whilst it is important to acknowledge the heroes of our current age, it is also important to remember these by gone heroes for inspiration and to remind ourselves how times have changed.
Which is your hero? Whilst I do favour one above the other I will admit (can you guess who?) my mum kicks both their asses in the hero stakes. Sorry guys.
