Coming down with a cold I think - stupid Northern weather. Attempts to find a job have been in vain as vacancies are mostly full time and require hours on all weekdays. O2 said to call back towards the end of the week though, so fingers crossed. I won't have the Net in my room for another 2-3 days either since the 54Mbps USB2 network adapter I bought online is out of stock :( But it will be worth it, oh yes. Make no mistake.
Rushed around this morning like a blue-arsed fly since my alarm didn't bother going off, which meant I aroused myself (in the non-masturbatory sense) at 9.20am for a 9.30 meeting. Unsurprisingly, I was late.
Amusing incident the other day when I was cooking spaghetti bolognese and couldn't open a tin of plum peeled tomatoes with the aid of the tin opener. So I handed both to Bob, who couldn't do it either. Eventually I more or less tore the tin to shreds in my desperation. I think either a new tin opener is called for, or some tin-opening skills taught to me. The other thing about living up North is that the water takes longer than a sloth to scratch its arse to heat up. Never mind.
Another recent plus is that I won £1 (yes, £1!!) on the Shanghai GP. Bob bet £20 and only got £11 back, so he was £9 down. But he's obviously a bit of a gambler as he told me to put his "winnings" back on Everton beating Portsmouth at 10-3. The git won almost £50. Since I can only refund winnings onto my credit card I can't actually give him any cash. This means I'm spectacularly short on cash at the moment.
Greatly looking forward to tomorrow - Drydock and first Cockpit of the year! :)
