Update
Update on yesterday's post:
I've been fired. I was phoned by my anal retentive manager to be told that he'd "reviewed my efficiency audit" and decided that I will be fired. He also said that I have my legally permitted week's notice, but I don't have to come in during that week.
I thought that was pretty good until I realise I'd just bought a new pack of painkillers and they're in my desk drawer. I shall turn up on Monday and kindly request them back. They have to give 'em back, otherwise it is theft. I will not see 68p going down the drain, I don't have cash to just throw away.
I'm in Worcester this weekend, came down to find my passport, for without it my travels to Prague would be a little nonstarting. Found it within minutes, so now have nothing to do. However, it appears Brenda has purchased a 48" HD TV, so that's nice to look at. Looked at my CD collection, there are a few missing. I don't know, I really can't imagine why or how they are missing, it's pretty hard for CDs to fall out of a zipclosed CD wallet. But hey, wonders never indeed cease.
T-shirt company seems to have perked up somewhat - within a week I've had a bulk order of 20 and two individual shirts ordered. When one door closes...

Whoops
Guess who's been a naughty puppy?
Yeah, apparently, referring to a colleague as a 'cunt' in an email is a 'breach of policy', and as such I've been suspended from work until further notice, which Manager Julie estimates to be Tuesday. On this day, I will go into work to attend a formal disciplinary and may be fired. I don't think I will be, but there we go.
Suspended on full pay, mind you. That's not bad. I've told mum by text, to which she's not replied, and I daren't tell grandma, I'd never hear the last of it.

Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored (repeat as required)
When I'm at work, I love to type, but there's no typing required in my linea work, so I feel awfully unfulfilled. Thankfully, I care not a jot about my job, nor the fact that the discovery that I write my diary at my desk will leave me without a job to worry about. I just like typing when I'm here. Don't know why. It's not even like my keyboard's that nice. I suppose it's cause I've actually got a desk here. My new desktop PC at home is in my deskless bedroom, the monitor on the bedside table and the keyboard perched on my pillows.
Sigh. I'm so horrifically bored, and I really don't wanna work. I was going to book my tattoo appointment at lunch today, but as I need my own design to be drawn in order to do this, and my fucking pen ran out of juice, I cannot. So, to plan B then, sleep for a bit. I'm so tired, I really don't know why. This morning I missed my
two alarms, and my Grandmother's shouting and woke up an hour late, which may have something to with it. I was up til 1 this morning trying to record a version of the Fear Of Music song, Millions Screaming. I'm not too disappointed with it, but it needs a hell of a lot of work yet. That's before I even think about the vocals. I'm still not sure I know all the words.
Right, nowt much else to say. Suppose I'd better get back to it. This is the note I just added to an account:
****
Geninfo
Plan produced
Policy documents issued to broker
Monies matched.
Thank you
****
I'll leave you to that.

Jeesh
I have been a naughty puppy, haven't I? Gosh, I should try and get my arse into gear and write this damn thing.
So here are a few things I want to say.
a) I have recorded 2 tracks from my forthcoming demos album,
Too Many Demo Tracks, and they're both to be found on
My Space, so check them out. Please. That'd be awful nice o' you.
b) I have most things up and running. Regrettably, there is a lot more to do, like get TraGic up and running again. I have ideas, it will happen. Trust me. Would I lie to you?
c) I'm getting a tattoo a week yesterday. That's fucking well exciting. More news on that later.
d) I'm starting a (hopefully) bimonthly podcast/radio typa thing- like a spoken word diary with fucking brilliant music. What do y'all think?
That is all for now. I will re-get better at this.
