    Morning,

    Super disliking today. Desk move in now being partially blinded by the sun, have super loud minion poking distance away whos wittering on about the "aerofoil" on his car being damaged affecting his fuel economy. Two enormous screens which I don't know what to do with I used to have one application on one screen now it just looks stupid so ive wedged two on. Plus they've pulled most of the software I use an disconnected a server I need. Pants day!

    Afternoon,
    Not much going on here. Complete lack of sleep for the last week has left me run down to the point I'm getting bad aids worms. The wife made it to Everest Base Camp today though.

    I wish I could go to bloody Everest base camp. I probably couldn't hear the troubletrouble n strife moaning from there :)

    Good day riding to and from work in the sunshine. Not so good dealing with annoying sales people and finicky bastard finance directors. Time for a glass of Absolut...

    Yeah Tuesday

    Another day of fun in Chester with a split journey of car and bike - not enough miles on the bike, but something is better than nothing

    Not sure what later will bring, quite fancy a film

    Morning Losers!

    Yesterday was lovely and quiet in the office, and many people noticed it! Retard minion is back on nights for the week :D

    Today, my car has its MOT and service, which will be interesting. I've never had a car properly serviced before, so no idea what to expect! Hopefully it'll be all shiny when it comes back.

    I have an evening of chilli and PS4 tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

    Morning,

    Is this thread becoming a who gets up earliest competition between TLW and TKM?

    Anyways, today is more of the same old daily grind. 5am starts do make for a long day so I wish the young un would sleep a bit longer. I has gave me time to put a casserole in the slow cooker that'll be ready for when I get home from work though. Weather looks good but I'm still in the car today. Making plans to ride tomorrow and going to leave some clothes at work so I don't need to carry a bag.

    Morning all,
    Off out to sunny Rugby today to see a customer, at least a pub lunch will be involved. Got a hire car for the day, a Skoda Superb Limousine. It's alright, and really looooong. At least it's got DAB so I can listen to 6 music.

    I'd be happy to lose this if it meant I didn't need to get up so early!

    Evening Mongs,

    Son so day today. Tomorrow is the start of a shed load of driving for me, about 1,200 miles in just over to hours. The joys. At least tomorrow is my Friday.

    Wednesday
    (Friday for steveo)
    Well yes I'm awake for why I don't know, last couple of days have really got me down plus a rubbish weekend. Yesterday afternoon. Cheered me up somewhat, first up offer on the house bang on asking price, second got a decent payrise an then thirdly been put forward for a promotion which again will involve a decent payrise. See what goodies today bring.

    Morning Losers!

    Well the car failed its MOT yesterday. Nothing major, a registration plate light at the back (which I'd spotted weeks ago and forgotten about!) and a nut missing from the front drivers side wheel. This one is a mystery, as the tyre was changed about 3 months ago, so what happened to the nut!?
    Anyway, they had to order them in and so I have to drive in again. This sucks, as the traffic is terrible! It takes far too long, and I'm a man of little patience when it comes to commuting.

    I have a meeting in Bury this evening too. Waaaaaaaaahhhhh!

    Morning all,
    I didn't get a pay rise either. Customer visit went very well considering I was giving them bad news. Buying them a pie and a pint must have helped. Normal day in the office today dealing with fools, must try not to kill any of them to death.
    Pub later.

    Morning,
    No pay rise for me either. Haven't had one for a while as I'd need a promotion to get one and that's not going to happen. Anyway, been up since 4:30am and a bit knackered already. Nearly went in to the back of someone while driving in this morning, think I nodded off briefly. Not cool. In other news a new seat should be arriving for me today, need to replace the creaky seat on my commuter bike as it's been really getting on my tits lately.

    Friday, for me anyway.

    Morning,
    Usual child printed early start, 3:50am is getting a bit silly though. I'm going to be knackered later. Usual morning shiz, get kids to school then go to school myself. Got the office to myself today though, hope no-one bothers me, there's a good chance I'll be napping.

    Morning Losers!

    Managed to get everything done I needed to yesterday, but I realised just now whilst making my breakfast, that I need to do a lot of personal work stuff (invoices, accounts etc) so I'll spend my morning doing that (getting paid to do the paperwork of my freelance stuff is great!)

    When I get home, I should find Star Wars Battlefront waiting for me, so once I've finished Unchartered, I'll be giving that a go!

    It returned to rubbish last week didn't it? Its doomed anyway now cricket season starts today.

    Morning bumblers, feeling rather ropey again today need to work out what is waking me up at daft o'clock. Bad stomach again as well no idea whats doing that.
    Was "immature" apparently yesterday as I bought a Lego Wall-E, I disagree so el Missus was grumpy this morning.
    Still looks like itll be a lovely damp weekend so thatll be fun!

    Blimey, it's afternoon already. Had quite a busy morning which I'm not too keen on, at least it makes the time pass a bit quicker. Fookin' knackered and feeling mildly hung over as is traditional. Might have to go in search of food now. Must try not to punch anyone.

    Evening Mongs,

    325 miles driven, one funeral and one wake attended. Now rather knackered and in need of some new CDs for tomorrow's 550 miles...

    Morning Losers!

    TFI Friday! That said, I was talking with someone else in the office yesterday about how weeks fly by when retard minion is working nights. It's not fair.
    Today, who knows what I'll do at work. I'm pretty bored really. Still waiting to hear back from a couple of train driving jobs that I applied for, I could be joining Gazlar before you all know it!
