Strange old weekend... 
Was dreading doing a shift on Saturday morning but as it turned out it wasn't bad as I got more sales than I had for the rest of the week combined! Looks like I may be in line for a bonus at the end of the month after all...

LISTENING TO: Gold Blade - "Psycho"
An odd week so far - am still getting to grips with these new shift patterns but so far so good...

So it wasn't such a bad weekend really. As mentioned in the previous entry, Friday night was fun and as it turned out Saturday wasn't so bad either.
Spent the day up on Teesside with my dad watching the mighty Pools put in one of their best performances for a long while to demolish Swindon 3-0. Then spent the night watching Abrasive Wheels at the...

The Random Thoughts Of Yorkie
Number whatever in a series of however many it is...
Not really much to say today. It's certainly been a quiet week after last week. But y'know, sometimes quiet is good.
Very much looking forward to seeing Harry Hill on Friday.
And also to the England match tonight - here's hoping for a nice easy win.
Got my assessment tomorrow...

Jack Osbourne!!?? Ha ha ha - you sod
...so I'm back. Miss me? 
For an explanation as to why I've been away, see the last entry. For an update on what's happened since, I'll post something by the end of the weekend. For now I'm just gonna take it easy and unwind for a few days. I think I deserve it.
Thanx to everyone who's been in touch and shown concern, especially Vicky...

THE BAD THINGS
Got a parking ticket today due to the station car park being full and there being nowhere else to park except on the edge of it. Not happy.
Missed the gig I was supposed to be going to last night (and the chance to get a new band on board the agency roster) because of it being sold...

I hope that the new career direction is going well for you dude.
There's no harm in a little healthy cynicism either btw. Having said that, give the girl a chance and she might just come through for you.
