One man and his Blog

This week at work has been pretty good. I've had lots to do and as a result morale is high. I've done a screensaver for Procter and Gamble, and a Flash mailshot for Flymo. Pretty good stuff. It's good to get into multimedia again. It's good to get good feedback from the managers as well, especially when they know what they're talking about and have vision. It validates ones effort.

I met Markie Mark for drinks after work on Wednesday and Friday. He's a good mate. When times are hard you find out who your true mates are. Markie Mark is one of them. Paul Jones, a Built Environment one is another. Great lads. I've got loads of cool mates, people I can trust. Friday was pretty cool, we went to the VC's party at the Uni. I had two glasses of wine for nowt. I might gatecrash any other parties they have. I like the University, there are some really cool people there - there's a few knackers as well though, I suppose it's a Ying Yang thing.

After the Uni we went to the Bacchus for a couple. Was pretty jam packed to say the least. I sometimes like busy bars because you can cop a sly feel of a girls breast with your elbow. That sounds pervy doesn't it? Well I'm only joking, I don't do that thing really. Oh, actually we went to the Bacchus after we went to bar 42. That was pretty busy as well. We then went on to Poppolos for a couple. I like that place. Pretty cool. They play cool music, they even had Nouvelle Vague playing. Clare came in at 8:30 as well with her friends. They had booked a meal upstairs for 8:30 so they didn't stay down with us for very long. Markie Mark left around 9:30 so I went up into the restaurant to chat to the lasses. I think I left about 10:30 because I was pretty tired. She never told me but it was her birthday last week. I gave her a birthday kiss and said goodbye.

It was a cold dark night. Well, it wasn't that dark but it certainly very cold. I was tired, but I was a little bit tipsy and bored so I had a stroll along to FYEO to see my mate Andrew. Well, it was on the way home, ahem. It had been a while since I had seen Andrew so I thought I'd say hello. I didn't go upstairs for a dance or anything. I was tempted however because Paige was on. I resisted temptation. The lads got a curry delivered and I had some, was well nice. That warmed me up enough to venture out into the cold for the long walk home.

My financial situation hasn't been as bad as what I was expecting. I ended up coming out with the same amount before I got the raise at the Uni. So that was OK. The Uni staff also got £100 worth of Fenwicks vouchers, so I missed out on that. However, for every negative there is a positive, because the same day I found that out I got an email from a friend asking me to take over a website and to do a PDF newsletter. This more than matches the vouchers. I'm not money oriented at all, however there are things that I need to do and these cost money. It's all part of the game though.
