Realm of the Mighty Red Pen

Hey all.  Just got broadband installed to the house so yay me :)  Is life without broadband a life worth living?  Eh, I don't think I particularily want to be in a position to find out... *hugs broadband*

So, I am now officially living in Dundalk. Yes, the bright lights of Dundalk, the excitement and the glamour.  I'm living in a house in Glenwood with 2 others.  My housemates seem like nice peoples.  Brian is a 3rd year student in DKIT and he's quiet enough - seems to spend most of his time in friends houses.  Jessica is from Dundalk, working in a shop downtown and I think she's around 25 or so?  Not too sure, I pretty much suck at judging people's ages!   She's really nice though - very helpful.  I think we will get on well. :)

Work...  not so bad at all :)  I only started a couple of days ago but so far so good.  My team seem like a nice enough group (maybe one or two exceptions?) and the work is cool. Supposed to be going out to the pub tonight with a couple of the people I'm workin with too so should be fun! :)

'Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today....'

Yep, that's right, I gots the Job!

I will be starting in my new position as a System Security Programmer.  Doesn't that sound grand? :D 

Headin' down to Dundalk today to look for a place to live.  I have a couple of old school friends living around Dundalk and my friend Donna thinks there's a place around the corner from her that will suit me down to the ground :)

I'm kind of excited about the move.  I'm nervous but I'm excited too, you know?  I think it's good to be making a fresh start after everything that's gone on this summer.  I miss my mam as well and it will be good to be nearer her.  Also, the job sounds shit hot so that is deadly!  And it's been a while since I've had to fend for myself  --- it'll be.... character building!

... I hope?

Have a job interview tomorrow for some big security firm up in Dundalk.  Never heard of them before but apparently they're pretty hot stuff in the SSL field.  Sounds like my kind of job!  Though I'm probably as interested in the idea of moving back down the country - It's not Newry but it's a lot closer to Newry than Belfast is :)  Fingers crossed for me, guys?

In other news, me and Jason are no more :(  We decided that we should see other people last week.  It's hard but we just had to face reality - things weren't going to work with the way our lives were heading.  Two different directions, you know?  Doesn't stop it sucking like hell though -I miss him to bits.  So yep, that's my life right now.  It's all change change change....

I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit.
I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a fuck.
How about "never"? Is "never" good for you?
It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
Ahhh, I see the fuck-up fairy has visited us again.
You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.
I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?
I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.
Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
No, my powers can only be used for good.
I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me.
You sound reasonable.......time to up my medication.
I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
Who me! I just wander from room to room.
My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys!!

hey! I haven't written in a while so I thought I'd jot a note. :)

Hope everybody's having a good summer so far! I'm working in JR Technics as you know but I'm applying for ther jbs at the minute.  - Boss issues... I get on really well with the rest of the staff so I'll miss them... Mad bastards!!  But I'm sick of being treated like I haven't a clue what I'm at.  Also thinkin of moving a little closer to home.  I worry about my mom a bit.

Jason has moved to Hull for work and... not too sure whats going on there.  I miss him but I don't think there's much chance of him moving back or me moving to ver there, which is a big issue at the minute... :( 

Long term + long distance = not a good combination.

hey!!
if you like family guy check this out!!!


Which Family Guy character are you?


i got lois!!!

Had a lovely evening yesterday. Headed home to find that Jason had cooked my favorite meal - Ratatouille! Aaawwww bless!

It was lovely and I was very hungry so I ate it all ;)  We headed off to the cinema were we met Maggie, Karen, Noel and (running a bit late) Lisa. I didnt understand what was going on with the film so i just kept asking Lisa to tell me what the hell was happening...which was funny.  ( I think it may have been related to the bottle of wine me and J had over dinner?)

Afterwards we headed over to Lawlers we had a few drinks and watched a band...shall we say... jamming? i also bumped into my ex again which was a bit awkward since he and J really don't get on. It turned out he was playing at the end of the night though and was pretty good. At arond 1am we headed home.

So.

Last wedensday I got a phone call from JR Technics asking me to come in for a job interview!

I said fuck it I'll go. I wasnt expecting that they'd hire me the next day!  So now I'm working in in JR Technics - which is a bloody great job for me.  I'm working some front end security at the minute but it's the sort of job that will go places.

Thursday night I went out to a fancy dress party.... decided to go as a cowgirl -  but danm when I got out didn't I realised to my horror that not many people had dressed up and I just ended up feeling very self concious. 

No worries, that that soon wore off and i ended up having a great night.... i got many compliments!!

Had a good enough weekend, I guess.

Was at the Paintball games on Saturday.  I got shot on the arm though when I was out being a marshall for the game.  I still have a nasty bruise and it hurts to type :(

On saturday night i went out to a club but before that my bloody  sister asked me to put fake tan on her, THEN I put some on me and NOW my hands are a lovely shade of orange!

nice.
