**this may be a slight/huge exaggaration.

After browsing the interwebs, looking at various products I decided to purchase a small item weighing 10g (allegedly)

Now off to sleep, will probably have a mini lie in :D the joys of a 10am start and having a train station on your door step :D

will most likely have a load of paperwork in the morning, then prob spend the afternoon surfing web

    passing my theory for my driving test this afternoon then me and a mate are going riding
    I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.

    My first day of being officially unemployed in over 10 years! w00t!
    Although I am back at work today with my "previous employer" in a consulting role until the 17th of this month.
    So today is just another day at work for me, but I am not riding at Cannock after work today as I have matters to attend to.

    I'm hungover!

    Yesterday my work had an 'efficiency day' so I was very efficient and spent all afternoon and evening in a pub garden. It was beautiful weather. Old Rosie cider is a bugger though!

    Today I have my Job Evaluation, where they figure out how much money i should be earning. It better go up a considerable amount!

    Euuurrrrggghhh my stomach doesn't like me :(

    According to the Official Rules, early good morning topics don't count on the "he's-up-earlyometer" unless you have been to sleep first.

    There are no exceptions for night workers or insomniacs.

    'job evaluation' - isn't it more likely to be an excuse to find out how little they could pay you, if they insisted you don't do parts of your job you actually do?

    I worked most of the bank holiday, which wasn't... Actually, it wasn't bad. I was gonna put it wasn't good, but I had no plans anyway!

    Was quite pleased that after rebuilding the car's engine, it works fiiiiiine. Go me.

    That's how they look at it, but I've just been given a new job role, so I'm now a boss, have a budget, will be doing projects etc. So it HAS to go up, but the powers that be, will do everything they can to make sure it doesn't go up too much.

    Hmmm. Them's good reasons. If there's equivalent to you already there, they can either bring them down or put you up! Or, not tell anyone and keep it a secret, leaving you where you are...

    Waiting for computer to do stuff. So bored, I just cut my nails.

    Doh, car insurance have took their monthly payment out, I'm even more skint.

    How much spending money do I need to take with me for a 9 day trip to Florida? Everything else is paid for, including food. £200? Or £300?

    Blue Martini at the Mall at Milennia is quite cool, oh and a pre drinky meal at The Cheesecake Factory.

    Kobe is also pretty good tepenyaki, but it's not cheap by American Standards!
    And take a visit to Howl at the moon its a stand up/music bar. Only annoying thing is you have to tip the bathroom attendant everytime you go for a pee! And you know what it's like when you have a drink and open the gates :lol: I sometimes used to give then $5 the first time I went and tell them not to ask again haha.

    Have a good time :)

    Nope, I have a unique position, and it's all changed so much recently that I'm basically starting a new job!

    Definitely! Though thankfully it's subsiding now :twisted:

    Depends on whether you plan to do any shopping at all, even with the poor exchange rate a lot of stuff is still a fair bit cheaper over there, especially the american clothes brands.
