I’ve sat here for the last ten minutes trying to work out what to blog about.
I did have a clear idea in my head but then I started reading a few blogs and realised that if I wrote what I wanted to write I’d upset a few people and I didn’t want to do that. I know it sometimes looks like I’m out to offend everyone possible but that’s just not true. There are some people, some bloggers in fact, I’m quite happy to offend – anything that moves them further away from this blogging site is good for me – but I don’t want to write something that may annoy friends or people I think a lot of. Especially when intonation can often be difficult to show in a block of text. I suppose I could tell you what I’ve been up to this week? Well, since I last blogged anyway.
Monday, our two year “living in Ireland” anniversary I did nothing but play World of Warcraft. I could have dome something more constructive but I didn’t.
Tuesday I was in work all day. It was the 40th birthday of one of the residents in another unit and he was having a party in a local pub. Although all our lads were invited they weren’t all going. Only one of them went in fact and I took him down there, walking instead of getting the bus. He had a good time, seemed to enjoy the music and the atmosphere and was golden on the walk back. More staff should interact with him like this but they don’t and I really couldn’t tell you why.
Wednesday I started my course that work have sent me on. It was interesting enough and I knew a few people there but a lot of the content is stuff I’ve done before in one life or another. Still, I’ll come out of it with a nice qualification at the end.
Thursday I was off so I spent the day working on my web site and getting very frustrated with technology. One minute everything works fine, then next it decides to get up and walk out the room leaving me wondering what the fuck is going on! Technology can be like that. I’m still not sure who’s fault the failures are but I know it’s not mine or Brad. This is all down to the hosting company and ex-hosting company of our web domains. One is great but can’t do much until the other, which is shit, gets doing as they promised.
Friday, today, I’ve had to call in sick to work I woke up with a pounding head. I woke up the first time at 4am and then again 6.30am and stayed wake then. I’m doing that a lot recently. Not sleeping and waking early that is. I did think that I wasn’t sleeping because of the attack at work playing on my mind but since the meeting I’ve felt a lot better about all that so I really don’t think it’s that. I’m sure it’ll come out eventually whatever it is. The last thing I want to do is start worrying about what is worrying me!
I’m off work tomorrow and Sunday but I have a project to work on for this course. I have to give a five minute presentation on anything I like as long as I can connect it to work. I’ve chosen sign language as I know enough about it and I can easily relate it to work. One of the ideas I’ve had is to actually sign the first two minutes or so of the presentation and use powerpoint to project subtitles and images etc. What do you think?
Well Bert is cooking a nommy nommy chilli for our evening meal so I’m going to go now and see how far he’s got and what time it’ll be ready.
