The Number 576

I changed my mind.
This is not going to be beauty log. I love it waaaay too much. From starting a beauty blog elsewhere I realised how much I like to write. Keeping it strictly beauty was hard. So voila. I’m back. I’ll be honest and say its unlikely to be everyday. But effort is required.

Im playing around with a theme at the moment. One that I really like – Never before have I had a three column. I think I could learn to love.
Right now its very plain. Too much html/php has made me tired and I have no inspiration for an image – but I will get there. Something minimal but something me.
I found a gorgeous photo log yesterday, This guy lives in Hawaii and takes the most beautiful photographs of people. It makes me want to go just for a photoshoot. And I’m sure Hawaii itself would be an added bonus.

So my laptop is on probation. It worked perfectly the last time I used it. Sims 3 loaded and I was sucked in straight away. That game is so addictive. Although most of the time I end up creating a house, the perfect family, decorate and then don’t actually ‘play’ for long. Back to the laptop. I hope it was just a glitch to start with – I did some windows updates which either caused or cured the problems. But so far so good. The one thing that annoyed me the most is that a family friend ordered exactly the same laptop but got it in pink with silver keys! I wanted the pink one but was too cheap to upgrade and now I’m stuck with boring black and boring black keys :( I’m either going to have to get a case for it or add some stickers!

I need to pass my driving test. Big Time. And I’m sure that my boyfriend will agree. I regularly get the bus to work, and although I wouldn’t call it a great bus service, It was pretty reliable. I would say in the last 2 months it has gone way way down and the prices up. Today was just another example of the bus not even turning up. The bus company don’t sent a replacement, don’t aplogise and still charge me. This resulted in me being fifty minutes late for work. Normally, they would have been really pissy about it. That office doesn’t seem to realise that there is life outside those four walls. Apparently, matters beyond control are frowned upon, and heaven forbid if you have a sick child. Not only are you harrassed every half an hour with an ‘update’ phone call. Your also expected to pay back any time off (other than actual sick – and even then they’d push for it if it wasn’t for the union!) – I can understand this for lateness, but not for special leave. Today however my manager is in a good mood. I still have to payback the time but she decided not to give me a ‘hardtime’. Gee Thanks.

What I find amusing is that all managers in my office are now having to reapply for their jobs. Coaches were also advised to apply but I quickly turned in the opposite direction. Management is not for me. At least not right now, and especially not for that company. So anyhow they have to go through a series of assessments, technical tests and role plays. I think some people will really be knocked down a peg or two.

What is best to do on a rainy, no money, no work (!), no boyfriend, no car weekend?

The way it was

Just shy of a year since my last entry, and nothing has changed. Hopefully its about to.

Yesterday I got a new laptop delivered. I’ve never had a laptop before -  I couldn’t really conceal my excitement. Today, however, is a different story. To say I’m disappointed is an under statement. There seems to be some kind of tech problem with my desktop, although this has only started since I removed MacAfee and replaced with Kerspersky. The second problem, which is killing me is that the disc drive wont work, it has managed to install Sims 3, but now it wont let me play it! The drive wont now read any discs. This is torture for a Sims addict. The best bit is that the tech support team only work Monday – Friday. Obviously nobody else has ever experienced tech issues on a weekend! I’m not so much annoyed that it isn’t working, I’m annoyed that I’ve now got to wait, before I can even find out how to fix it.

I think I might turn this into more of a beauty blog, with odd snippets. That was I’m sure to update before often, as I’m sure my boyfriend will agree, I shop. ALOT. So I figured I would often have something to say! I’m waiting on a few packages to be delivered and then Ill start with pictures and reviews! I will include my other purchases too, like clothes and jewellery too :)

This weekend I am in Wales. Its so nice to get away. Lately, work has really been tough. The office is just a bitchfest and BT come up with new plans and unrealistic targets every day! Its hard to keep with it all. I’m looking for a new job but I’ve no idea what I’d like to do, and in all honesty there isn’t a lot of choice. I am going to keep looking, or I’m seriously going to have to start thinking about going back to college, or nursing at Uni as this is what I originally wanted to do.

I also want to get the ball rolling to move down to Norfolk. I’ve been with my Boyfriend, JR, for over 2 years now and I think its about time that we moved to that ‘stage’ as cliché as it sounds.
