I know I have turned 27 today but to me it doesn’t feel any different from the rest of the year (to acertain extent that includes Christmas thanks to the commercialization of it all). Last Saturday felt like it was my birthday more than today, due to the close friends that I had around me. That isn’t to say that my family don’t make the day special, just that it isn’t quite the same thing. Thinking back to when I was a kid, having birthday parties in the garden (lucky me having my birthday in the summer) or at the bowling alley, or even on the big slides and ball pits of the long gone Mr B’s, it feels so far away now. I know in a way it is, lets face it, the last party I had for a birthday that didn’t involve alcohol in some way was a good decade ago. Makes you a little whistful sometimes though.
As it is a lovely day out it is tradition that I should be called into work reguarding my fate during the “company restructuring”. Whether I will have a job at 4.30 this afternoon remains to be seen. I might be out a lot less over the next few months. To be honest I shall be heading straight for the Press if anything does happen that is ridiculous. If you find yourself queueing for even longer this Christmas then you heard it here first.!
Over to Dixons now, who have ceased to sell 35mm cameras. But why.??? They are faaaar superior to the digital versions quality wise. Yes I know you cant get the images instantly etc etc but compare ANY digital camera with a 35mm one and the digital will be urinated over at every turn.! Madness.
One other thing… that muslim cleric, he has basically said “blow the hell out of the capitalist” and left the country and now says he will be coming back. I for one am hoping he comes back with a big coat on and gets met by the big guns branch of the Dover police force….
Actually two more things… Regarding woman who managed to drive her sports car off the toll-road. Maybe you should have gone to Specsavers and got some glasses. It was a straight bit of road and it is VERY clear you were probably breaking the 20mph speed limit (like those two stupid kids in the Citroen). 4 deaths in ten years.?? Thats nowt.! Two of them were in that boy racer car alone. so thats only 3 fatal accidents. There are far more deaths on the M5 and that is covered in barriers and far more cars use it. For f*ck sake people, start taking responsibility for your actions.! I was watching a TV programme the other night and a white metro just ploughed into the back of a car queue on the motorway because the driver wasn’t looking where he as going. It was his fault, and to be honest if I had been in the car he hit I would have dragged him from his car and done him over with the handle for the jack. He would then have realised his responsibility. Maybe we should do the same to women in sports cars with no eyes.!
Happy birthday to meeeee.
***LATE NEWS***
Hmmm well I have had my meeting and I have been given a few options… the end result is that sooner or later I have to reapply for my own job or piss off somewhere else. We are losing two members of management and a team leader…. thankfully it isn’t me but it is a devastating thought that we wont all be together by the middle of November. As many arguements that I have with everybody and the bitching that goes on, it comes down to personal feelings and these guys aren’t just my workmates, they are my friends.! I guess we shall wait and see what happens, but I know one thing…
It is going to be terribly quiet at Christmas.
