Friday Update 21/2/14

Jane’s been quite poorly these last few weeks – she’s barely able to keep water down, let alone food. She’s spent most of her time sleeping, bless her. I must admit I’m a little bit worried, given that she’s pregnant.

In other news, the Youtube videos are going really well. Having a great time recording the Minecraft and retro ones with Lewis, and the Dark Souls ones by myself, then editing them and putting them up on YouTube for anyone to see. It’s fun. I’ve posted like six in the last week or so, which is crazy. There was a backlog to be honest, so don’t expect six videos a week all the time! The RGF this week is yet another Infectionator game, check it out.

In the realms of employment, two things stick in my mind: The daughter of a colleague of mine asked me to buy her some tobacco after work today. I said no because whoever it was on the kiosk would have known I don’t smoke anymore. To be quite honest, I do go on about how I stopped smoking quite a lot – what can I say, I’m proud of myself. I don’t think she’s ever going to talk to me again now though, which I’m not too bothered about.

The other thing was that a guy who started two weeks ago committed suicide yesterday. From the description someone gave I think I know who he was, it’s weird to think that he’s gone and I’ll never see him again. Even though I never knew him very well (I don’t think anyone did to be fair as he’d only been with us for two weeks), I still feel like it’s a shame – he was only 19 and hung himself. I walked past him a couple of times the other day, both times offered up a cheery smile, as I do (too damn friendly, I am), both times got cold indecision. I thought to myself that he’ll be a tough one to crack. Little did I know what was really going on inside his head. I kinda know why he was so distant now, what with him contemplating suicide and everything, but I do feel like I would’ve liked to have talked to him about things, see if I could’ve helped in a tiny little way just to make things a tiny little bit better. I’m going to try harder and be a nicer, more approachable person from now on.
