Yay, today is Friday, in terms of work, but still Thursday.
It ain't half bloody dark out, they seriously need to fix my street light.

today will consist of minimal work, and medium consumption of alcohol, also have to buy more easter stuff and birthday gifts....

no bacons yet

    Greeting Maggots..

    Not an overly busy day here today, yes it's "technically a Friday" as ProjectSome put it.
    I have one customer visit then it's countdown to the uber weekend!
    Wishing you all a sun filled day... In Blighty? Yea, right...

    Today is definitely still Thursday for me, although tomorrow I'm due to finish at 4 so that's not too bad. Otherwise today is a normal day on placement, should be fun... got to go and see if my stitches are ready to come out later, I suspect not, if not the doctors will try to make me wait until next Tuesday which is way too long. Might have to sort them myself.

    Mornin' slackerbeds and lugabouts,

    Yesterday turned into a day of much win, with a morning meeting that featured an unfeasible amout of free bacons and pastries, and a 'eureka' moment working out why those [OBSCURRED] were [OBSCURRED] - bascially they were [OBSCURRED] and [OBSCURRED]. Or in laymans terms 'b*****ed. Simples! Anyhoo, a quick report could be compiled and emailed off. Win.

    Today? Screw it, I'm kicking back and looking busy whilst I count down the days to the new job. I will be working out where I'm riding tomorrow, as folk have been asked not to use the Cannock trails till the snows gone (which it hasn't). Dammit.

    This weekend I will be doing a lot of race-car builidng, as we're still trying to get into the season as early as possible (although we will be missing round one).

    Onwards! To lotsa coffee! And chillaxing in front of a warm PC!

    Morning

    Day of meetings, but with a strict deadline of getting out of here before six as the current wifes birthday continues with a decent meal out with a load of the family and as we are going out at 7.15 and I live an hour away.......

    Then onwards to a weeks holiday :) (with a load of work spread throughout) :(

    morning all,

    tired today as i went out for a ride last night and even though there was no snow at my house, there was 6 inches of the bloody stuff on top of the mountain. it was hard work riding through that!

    on the plus side though, the snow left tyre tracks showing us a new DH track that we never knew existed 8) riding it in the dark, snow and on a hardtail was interesting though :lol: i can't wait to get my DH bike on there.

    today is populating the spreadsheet again interspersed with some bacon consumption as it is Friday (well Thursday but you know what i mean :lol: )

    later bumders and bumettes

    oh yeah btw, has anyone else watched that new show plebs? i recorded it and watched it last night. what did you think? :?

    Greetings fellow crudders

    Last day of the week = win, 12 hr shift = fail, full breakfast will be ordered at 9.00am = win extra black pudding = double win.

    More coffee to be consumed now, not sure if a ride will partake over Easter, was hoping too hit a trail centre but weather may have taken a toll on that.

    The t'other half has nothing planned for us over Easter so much drink maybe consumed in a public house at some point.

      Morning Losers!
      Nice lie in today and today is technically the last day of the holiday. I'm glad my work place is now closed until next Wednesday :mrgreen:

      We still have an arctic tonne of snow here, so can't really do much. I'm over to Bury tonight for shoots and giggles, basically because it's Maundy Thursday (Repent, you sinners. Repent!). This of course means fish and chips tomorrow 8)

      Laters!

      Yet a stack more work arrived on my desk this morning. People seem to think solicitors don't like to take holidays (actually we don't). So two more people have handed in their notice today. File numbers are going through the roof. The sun is out but it's blooming cold out there.

      Trying to decide on a new pair of trail trainers and whether to attempt the Kymin dash at the end of April.

      Apparently there is a bit of snow in the FOD but not significant amount.

      Nothing fun planned this evening but some gym time and then packing ready to go home tomorrow to catch a lift to London for the weekend (taking my pile of work with me so I can wfh).

      i obviously don't want to know how much you earn, but is it worth it considering the work life balance? i used to do a lot of audio recording for solicitors and when we finished at 6pm they'd be up all night transcribing and reading the recordings ready for the following day.

      that just doesn't seem fun to me :?

      The mrs is a solicitor, she works lots of hours... but she loves it, I think its the whole thing about arguing for a living that appeals to her - at least it saves me from getting it in the neck... most of the time

      Work saves me from having to deal with life and the outfall of that, dating and dealing with all the rubbish that goes with that.

      And money makes the world go round, and without it I can't buy new shoes and clothes and trainers.

      Got it in one!

      And earning money to buy nice things one day when maybe I have some time. All my own money all for me because I worked hard for it and no one out there is worth me.

      i doubt it, by the sound of it she'll be too busy manically storing money, clothes, shoes and trainers under her floorboards, worried that it is all going to be eaten by rats.

      I'm guessing cat's might be involved in my future. Together with horses and a big house in the country. And maybe dogs. No one it seems is brave enough to take me on.

      I'm also going to have lots of money. But someone else is earning it for me cos I invested wisely. So for my day job I can pretend to look busy while getting paid a semi-decent wage :)
