Return To OZ

Just thought I’d have a ramble and an update on the last few weeks.

Firstly, Congratulations to my brother and sister in law who have a new arrival.  Her name is Grace and she was born on the 7th July and she’s really cute.  This now makes me an uncle of three as I also have twin nephews Connor and Ethan.  My brother and sisterin-law are proving to be a little baby assembly line.  My family always said I would be the first to settle and have kids.  How wrong they were! 

 

I still haven’t managed to get all my music on my ipod because it all needs tag editing and it is proving to be very time consuming.

My savings is are coming along well although I could be saving a lot more money if my friends weren’t such a bad influence on me (you know who you are).  I’ve been going out on the weekends drinking and generally acting like a teenager.  It has been so much fun!  We have started drinking in a bar in town which is open as late as most night clubs because the female to male ratio is amazing.  I’m not going to say what the bar is called because I want to continue being surrounded by b.e.a.utiful women.  Every time I have been to this bar I have ended up leaving a very lucky boy.  I guess my confidence is back to original form!  I still have a thing for the girl from Manchester but I am still single and have needs!

We haven’t been drinking stupidly all the time!  What do you take us for?  Last weekend myself and a few friends went to a woodland near by, built a fire and chatted a load of philosophical bollocks for a few hours. We also took pictures of cows!!

Anyway enough cows.

Apart from my social life being back on form my work life is ever increasingly pissing me off!  I share my office with a woman who is also in the same boat as me.  We are under pressure from a power obsessed tart who has no idea, no people skills and sets ridiculously unrealistic deadlines! (She obviously slept her way to the top).  Everyday I want to tell her to stick her job because I’m going travelling but if I don’t stick to my job I won’t be going anywhere!  I have thought about going back to being a chef (for those of you who don’t know me I am a fully trained chef).  Why I ever left catering I’ll never know…  Thinking about it I did it for the money.  You get paid a lot more to sit on your arse for nine hours per day!

The woman I work with is currently looking for another job and I hope she gets one before I go away so I can see the look on my boss’s smug face!  If not I wish her luck after my departure as I’m sure she’ll be reading this. Good luck N!

As for me I am looking for a job half heartedly because I only have to stay here for another 5-6 months or so.  I have looked into catering but i’m unsure how much I have forgotten as I’ve been a pen pusher now for over a year.  Who knows.

As my old man used to say “Such is Life.  We’ll have to wait and see”.

 

Stay tuned…

 

Mark.
