Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to anyone and everyone who reads this. Jane and I had a lovely time and I hope you had a lovely time with the people you care for most. That's what this time of year is all about, really.

It’s Christmas?

It is! It's really snuck up on me this year, it's Christmas Eve Eve already. Doing the late shifts didn't help, I feel like I've lost a day somewhere this week. I'm beginning to get in the spirit, looking at the decorations in the house. I got my first Christmas present today - Jane got me a .net magazine subscription…

Night shifts: Part 2

Night shifts over and done with. That was... An experience. I don't think I've ever felt so tired in all my life, and I'm sure I've missed a day somewhere this week. In terms of actual work, on the first shift I really got into it, processed a huge delivery and created new bays and ends with stock we had…

Night shifts: Part 1

I'm doing a few night shifts at work this fine pre-Christmas week and to tell the truth I'm not looking forward to them. I don't really know what to expect. We're getting huge deliveries in (which is to be expected), so I have to process them and make the department look spiffing for the morning. I'll let you know how…

Happy birthday to me

Another year, eh? I'm blessed. Levelled up to 33. Ridiculous. You know how I always say I don't feel a day over 25? This time I really mean it. Whilst I'm still not in the best shape of my life, I'm not a horrible mass of blubber. Still a work in progress, I'm getting there. As for presents, Jane and…

The old one was beta

I wish I could blog about the new Xbox 360 dashboard right now. I got onto the beta programme last month, but now I'm kinda wishing I hadn't. It needs to update at least twice a week, and I've still not got used to the new layout. Ah well, everyone will have it soon, so we'll all be in the…

Typing and waffling

Looks like Wednesday is becoming my new update day. Due to the days I work, Monday has been designated "rest day" - coming off four days of work is quite tiring. I feel more perky and talkative on a Wednesday though, I'm more likely to want to do things like type and waffle. My phone is now 100% Mangoed up,…

Mango’d: Part 2

I've finally gotten around to updating my Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 7.5 (codename: Mango), only a month after it came out... Why have I not updated sooner? I got the notification that the update was available for my phone about a week ago... What's been eating at my time? Batman: Arkham City. Such a good game, so empowering.…
