In Hindsight

So things went kind of wrong the other night regarding the proposed meet on Thursday, I had a feeling things might go a bit awry but I thought I might try the old "positive thinking" that everyone seems to go on about unfortunately it didn't make much difference. It dawned on me as soon as I got to the place and found out...

I'm sure there will be! Maybe not Leeds but you must be sure and join oneof the bigger meets. I've been to two and my social anxieties were appeased by how bloody nice everyone was. biggrin
I think your chosen night was just a bit difficult with it being a school night and all. frown
pixiebelle:
SGUK is a strange one in that way. Some meets get packed out and other fade away with but a fleeting interest. surreal Timing, location, person, reason all come into play in these things. Don't take it to heart though!

Hark friends tis the sound of rebound

So after coming out of a crippling 18 month relationship my friend Jay has hooked up with another girl within the space of 5 days! which is a pretty fast turn around in my opinion. My friend Jay is without doubt a manwhore in the very worst sense of the term, I haven't got a problem with that...

Um... I think you can stumble through the door, as it's just a pub area at the front, and just pay at the band room if you want to see the bands.

This Feels Like Slavery......

So in yet another display of why the company I work for is so good and an "Investor In People" can't forget that bit, they've decided that they're not going to pay all the people who've done overtime at the overtime rate and they're just going to get paid the normal rate. This is just yet another of the brilliant moves...

Yeah, you do a pretty good job of complaining about work.

I enjoy it, and thank you for sticking with a crap job for our reading enjoyment.

biggrin

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Don't Get In The Way Of The Black Lunged Hordes

With the new smoking ban kicking into effect last week my place of work was busy drawing up it's new policy regarding smoking and it went like this *clears throat*

Smoking will not be allowed anywhere within the premises due to the smoking ban coming into effect July 1, this means as of July 1...

Heh, trustworthy type! Well you could possibly show me where the elusive angel inn is before the end of the month, and I can then give you your pennies back, plus a beer or 2! biggrin

Are you a Monday-Friday worker? xx

See my blog comments for explanation.

I hate it when my head gets noisy that way.

I'm glad you had a good get-together with people. Even the second seemed to go alright.

But I know what you mean about pushing your luck. That's the way I think too. That maybe I should accept that I had a good evening, and not try again anytime soon, since surely that would be a disaster, just to even things out.

Thanks for the software tip. I downloaded the program, but haven't tried it yet. Next time I take some pictures and need to reduce them, I'll give it a go.

Fish Out Of Water

So it was the 10th anniversary works do the other night and after being badgered about going for weeks on end I thought what the hell, being called a miserable antisocial sod all the time gets quite annoying. Upon arriving it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't know 90% of the people there so for about half an hour I...

Yeah I really have got lost in the new layout. It was changed a couple of times before and I couldn't find things, now it's even worse. I'm not very computer-able smile
You should do the wishlist thing - you don't get anything until you ask biggrin

Do You Enjoy Your Job?

So I had my review the other day at work which I have every 3 or 6 months depending how bureaucratically minded the management are feeling. It's the same song and dance every time really "we appreciate you do a good job but there's always room for improvement" yadda, yadda, yadda. Then I get asked if I enjoy my job...

That's quite the wall, and quite the jacket.

My walls were blank for a few years, then I put up some posters.

Nothing as creative as yours.

I hated performance reviews. Especially those stupid questions that you can't give an honest answer to. Like you said, how the hell can you answer your boss when he asks what you think of him? Geesh.

I hate the way that some/many guys have this sense of entitlement about sex. That somehow they're owed sex, even by strangers. This is why I don't go to bars.

Thanks for the fantastic testimonial you gave me. It made me laugh, and made me happy too.
heavenandhell:
There is a similar jacket to that in my attic, although minus the sleeves as hubby grew and removed them to make it fit. Every now and again, he gets it down and looks longingly at it remembering the good old days.

Impressive wall.

The thing about the FOB video that annoys me more, is that Pete Wentz seems to have the main 'storyline' and the others are almost bit parts. As for the advertising, my kids didn't notice it before I told them it was in there and after. Both are pretty switched on too, if not quite the age the music is aimed at. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't notice it the first time, due to being preoccupied by the chimps. blush

Take care.

Regret????

So here's the thing the other day it was someone at works birthday and they were having this "get together" in Leeds, I was asked if I wanted to go and I said I'd think about it bearing in mind that all of the people going are people I refer to as "casual friends" by which I mean they're people I talk to at...

Limbo Of The Somewhat Damaged

So it seems that some not so benevolent deity has renewed his task of smiting my attempts at happiness. So I asked her if she wanted to go for coffee sometime after work and instead of the yes I was hoping for or the no I was kind of expecting it seems she's just as damaged as I am. Turns...

Sorry you're in limbo.

I've been there.

Try to stay positive. At the very least, you now have a friend. Someone you like, and someone who likes you. It might, with time, lead to more. But even if it doesn't, at least you made the effort and got the courage to ask her out.

That's a pretty big deal to me at least.

Like you, I can never understand why perfectly normal, nice, women seem to get into relationships with complete assholes. It just defies logic. Yet there are so many examples of it.

Do your best to keep up your new friendship with her. Just don't base your efforts solely on the goal of getting into a relationship. Try your best to be happy, or at least content, with the idea of just being friends.
northern:
Yeah, his eyes are kind of scary.

Maybe he just drank lots of coffee?

I know what you mean about letting your brain turn to sludge.

I feel like that's what's happened to mine. I honestly worry that I've become dumber through lack of use of my mind.

Over Analysis and Bitter Irony

So my current mental state regarding affairs of the heart is somewhat confused, as anyone who has been reading my rambling incoherent statements of general self loathing will know I don't exactly have much luck with the opposite sex. I was discussing this with someone at work the other day and saying how most of the girls I have asked...
