So... how you been?

 

Not much happened over the last week really, went out a bit, stayed in a bit. thats about it.

I have a new game for the 360 - lego star wars 2, it rocks, hardcore style. its mentally challenging enough and humourous enough to keep you playing for hours on end with out thinking that there is only so much repition of levels you can do.

 

Played squash on saturday - tournament game. If I played against the others the way I played against this guy on saturday then I would have beaten them, still wouldn't have beaten this guy but there we go.

Losers plate here I come.

In a faintly amusing turn of words, the door coming off of the sqaush court is a technical issue (yes seriously, I asked them what was wrong with the computer system when they said they had a technical issue).

 

Scout meeting tonight for district camp next year, fun.

 

Nearly forgot grunmps;

police who drive badly - lack of signalling and speeding is really not accpetable when you are tyring to uphold the law. especially when you over take me. Bastard

In my managers words "extremely happy with you this year, couldn't ask for any more on the technical side. Keep working hard."

 

"Keep working hard"....LMAO.

 

In other news, it was bloddy cold camping this weekend, my forehead is starting to peel from the frost burn. Nice.

 

Next grump; incompetence - so you say you were going to do something but didn't because you are old and lazy but get away with it. Thats not fair on everyone else.

 

 

 

Has another competitive game last night. Lost 3-1, mostly because of lots of unforced errors. Not sure what you can really do about them except practise more.

Also ran into the wall really hard elbow first, it smarted.

I am switching back to updating weekly, most likely every Thursday morning.

 

I can do this because at the moment I haven't got much work to do and Thursday mornings seem to be particullarly dull. Must be the relative excitment of Wednesday night's when we go to the quiz and come 4th.

 

I'm adding things to my list of things that make me grumpy;

Will - he is quite blatently an idiot. When its my week to drive in I get there everyday at 7.30am. He knows this. Yet every few days he is 10 minutes late. Today when I got there he wasn't even awake. Then after 15minutes of sitting there he phones me to say he can't find his glasses. Well maybe if he got up earlier he would have been ready on time.

Consequentially I only had 2 minutes instead of my normal 30 to settle in before pretending to work.

He then came in 20 minutes later.

I really hope he doesn't become an external sales engineer and speak to anyone important or the company will find its sales dramatically reduced.

 

Fussy eaters - Its not natural to be picky about what food you eat. Its either good for you or it isn't, theres no reason to not eat something based on ethics.

 

The idiot who stole my pen - enough said really.

 

Matt do me proud and top those.

 

 

Didn't realise it had been so long since I updated, sorry.

Long and short of it is that I have been doing the same old stuff; playing squash with Neil, going to the pub, doing the quiz, working (or my equivalent there of).

New stuff that I have been doing in the last month; entered a squash competition at my gym (more on that later) also I have seen a couple of firework displays which were good.

The competition so far has involved playing one game where I was playing well, making every shot being in place for the next one etc etc. however my racket wasn't quite feeling it, every time the ball hit it there would be an unnatural feel to the flight of the ball, conclusion - my racket is haunted, time to buy a new one. and some shorts...

On the plus side, hit my opponent in the balls.

 

Matt recently did his volume 3 of grumpy old men, here's my top 10 grumps at the moment.

1. Drivers - all of you get off my roads. Whether you are driving too slow, too rude, too stupid it doesn't matter you shouldn't be driving. Get off so I can get to work in the 30 mins it's meant to take, not the 50 it does.

2. My car - I want to get a new one, so I think I am just noticing the physical flaws in this one more. It still goes like a bat out of hell but the wing mirrors are starting to irritate me.

3. Chavs - Why are these idiots allowed to exist, can we round them up and drive them off a cliff, or put them in a cage type thing.

4. People who get things they don't deserve.

5. House prices - I want to leave home, seriously can't afford to.

6. Not being paid enough to buy a house, or decent car or helicopter. Damn it.

7. Work - I think there is a lack or professionalism in the office, no one seems to have a firm understanding of how an office should run, how people should be managed, how roles should be defined etc. All basically leads to the fact that are managers aren’t that good. I could do a much better job.

8. Drivers - worth saying twice. Particularly old women who go at 20 in a 40 zone. GET OFF THE ROAD.

9. Women - You know you deserve it.

10. Matt - making me want to write a list and realising that I'm not grumpy enough.

 

I'll start to update more regularly, promise.
