Very Quiet Week

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Well, 7 days on and ive got nothing interesting to say really. Have been ill since wednesday so havent been able to go out or play footy, so going a bit insane on my own! Aside from that its a bit… tepid! Got a few major things going on at work, which im not allowed to talk about :-) Aside from that its all good.

Crazy Snowstorm

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Well, on the way back to Swindon from Wigan with Matt on Sunday night we seemed to have driven into the north pole! Snow storms, blizzards, rain etc It was…scary to say the least! Going round a round-a-bout and the back end spinning out was interesting!  Nothing much interesting has happened this week – Badminton on Monday, and went out for a few jars and a curry last night with my department as a leaving do for my manager whos going to Australia! Woke up today with the worlds worst man flu, which is currently kicking my ass as i sit in the office typing this.

Slowly going insane

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Well, another 2 months+ straight stint in Swindon is once again driving me crazy. The people in here are absolute nut cases, i swear to god. Nobody trusts anyone, everyone is out to fuck each other over, it is like everyone says; being back in High school. Spending 9 weeks of it straight through absolutely drives you to the brink though, add to that my dire situation with women, and the fact i spent 19 years of my life not wanting a girlfriend when i could have had .. tons, without bragging, and hey, as soon as i decide i want to get .. serious, with someone, there isnt one in sight. I know life is a funny old game and that god likes to have a giggle with everyone, but its infuriating at best. I was supposed to go home this Friday, but my family isnt in so no point going home when theres nobody there lol. Got the i-series next weekend, so its another 2 weeks before i go home and see everyone, which totally pisses me off. Something is going to snap soon in Intel, i can feel it.

Nothing To Add

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

Havent been up to anything recently at all. Went out with the Lads on Thursday to celebrate Toma’s birthday! Was a pretty good night, some funny shit happening but all in all a good un! Got my new phone on Friday, the Sony Ericsson k850i, which is verrrrrry sweet indeed! Loads of cool stuff in it etc. Bought myself a 4GB memory stick for it today, so i can get the most out of it, plus its pay day on Monday, woooo!

Had a meeting on Friday about i32, so will be working on the Intel stand for it on Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Free bar at night etc, awesome.

Fixing Things and Bickering

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

Well, didnt do much this week except fix the things i broke at the weekend and try and repair a few burnt bridges!

Its been a rather eventful week on the social front, a lot of bitching going on, and a certain girl selling both me and Jamal out to the other girls as people that we arent. So naturally, those that know what im like, will know what i would normally react like, and i did. We got our own back, and we’re going to get some more next week. People need to learn!

Went to the pub quiz on Thursday which was good fun, with Brad, Aaron, Andy Li and The Wonderkid Gabriel on our team. We somehow didnt win the damn thing, much to Lockwoods amusement! Even though we cheated on every question lol! Fix i tell you.

Steam and WiMAX

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Well, went out on Thursday night with Jamal and the boys as usual. Was very messy, again as usual! Some crackin pictures on Facebook if anyone wants to look lol! Was in work doing the Wimax stuff on Friday and chilled out at night. Did nothing Saturday day, went to Steam / Spot with everyone on Saturday night but came home early because i was in work all day today!

Unfortunately for us, everything that could go wrong today did. Servers, Switches, you name it, none of it wanted to work, meaning our glorious project went up in smoke :( So im not impressed at all at the moment.

Stress Stress Stress

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Well, i thought i’d find time to blog during one of the most stressful weeks of Intel so far. Didnt do much at the weekend, went out Saturday night for a little bit but it was crap so i came home early. Didnt do anything on Sunday except chill out and chat to people mainly! Have been BINGE learning IOS recently, really starting to kick on with it now, woo. Although i am starting to see people as 0’s and 1’s ive been looking at a CMD box for so long. 0 1 1 1 0…..
