I was recently asked for advice. now its difficult to know that your being impartial at the best of times. but at this moment i believed i was. I'd like to ask a question of all those who read my LJ and being as i don't pay for this i don't have polls. Is there such a thing as true love? and do you just know it when it happens?? personally I'm on the No side, and i think you have to work at it. but what do it know. let me know what you know!!!

SO i have an assessment day at the main offices of a large company to see if i am suitable for management material. this assessment day has been moved from local store. to London store, to head office. and i have taken this to mean that either a) no one want the damn position or b) they this i am good enough to interview personally. i like the idea of B so i am running with it. The head office is in a place called Cheshunt, does anyone have a rough idea as to where that is. and know of any cheap hotels in the area. its in Hertfordshire and being as i need to be there by 9am, I'd rather pay for a hotel and not have to get my suit creases. yes i know. me in a suit. what is coming to the world in further news, my life is still just as busy as always, please get in touch if you fancy helping me relax one eve, weekend or daytime. as i do need to remember to take time to see my mates. |

Hello TV license people. yes i do have a television in my house. no i don't use it to watch live broadcast TV. can you come check this at times convenient to yourself? erm no you cant, if you don't believe me then that your problem, now stop bloody pestering me. also i have discovered that my hosting skills are greatly overshadowed by those of my Filipino friends. i went to a lovely birthday party with them on Thursday and my glass never once reached empty, my stomach was delighted with the range and amount of food on offer, and i was triumphant on the karaoke! it was all in all a truly awesome party, i need to go to more Filipino gatherings. |

Having just finished 7 night shifts in a row, i am surprisingly awake. which bodes well for the day i have planned doing stuff in the office and having meetings. lets just hope i don't crash in the middle of it all |

Do you have mad skills i dont know about? are you a techi in disguise. do you enjoy proof reading dyslexics random scribbles. are you great at crowd control, do you love shaking a bucket, do you have a love of health and safety? if so let me know and become a pride volunteer to support this country's LGBT community and be part of the biggest free park event in Europe. They don't need to be the skills mentioned above. all skills will be helpful. get in touch if you can offer me just a little of your time! |

so today in work the lovely contractors who are doing god knows what with a JCB in the Pool car car-park accidentally used there JCB to smash though a water main. hmm, yes, interesting, and i must say that the whole hospital was thanking them for the 3 to 4 hours we spent without running water. (we had a small amount of hot water that was piping hot running from the storage tank, but no cold running water, no flush for the toilets, and no drinking water). that made for a fun shift. oh and just so you know, i will be hassling all of you very soon to volunteer to help out at Brighton pride events in the near future! |

Well the pneumonia appears to have subsided to a non-contagious and manageable level so i went back to work yesterday. i do need to move jobs as i realize that my current one is getting to me more then i thought. but weather i go for an internal move or something totally different is the question.
i was actually so glad to go to work yesterday as it got me out the house. i have never been so full of cabin fever as i was on Saturday. i was ready to explode with the need to do something, anything, interesting. but i am back and will be out partying and doing fun stuff in the near future. |

I've never really had hangovers until last month when i ment out and drank so much one night in December i gave myself some mild alcohol poisoning and was rather unwell. that un-wellness led the way for my flu - (you know the winter one this year everyone got) which because i didn't really take time off became a chest infection - (which was lovely with its hacking cough) then i took my antibiotics and went back to work feeling mostly better then new years eve occurred. where i got drunk to the point of imbecility, apparently offended a close friend (really sorry), and was generally a very drunken twat. but apparently some people still had a good time i was glad to hear the next day. the next day i felt mostly OK until the evening when the hot and cold flushes hit me with a force. and i assumed i had a bit of a late hangover. when the 2nd of Jan rolled around and my headache worsened and my chest grew tight i thought it was once again the hangover i deserved upon the 3rd of Jan when i was starting to have pain upon breathing in. i assumed i had i really really bad hangover (i assumed this due to the a for mentioned facts that i hadn't really had many hangovers before) yesterday i tried to go to work. i got 30 mins into my shift when the chest pain got a lot worse and the staff on my ward had the matron for the block send me to a&e. i was in a&e for nearly 3 hours, explaining the above to them, having an ECG, letting them take bloods, going for a chest x-ray, etc. etc. after three hours a rather hunky doctor sat me down and took my top off. this would have been fun had it not been for the fact i was having a hot flush at the time and was sweating so much it was litterally forming a pool beneath me.....oh yeah...sexy after listening to my chest he rather politely tells me that in his opinion my chest infection has become Pneumonia. so i have pneumonia, am on antibiotics the size of horse pills and have yet another week off work. if these antibiotics don't work i will need intravenous medication which will start on Saturday. oh the joy of joys. and this tale all started with one simple hangover |

So this Christmas was to be infuriatingly dull. i was to spend it alone and ill and shouting at my iplayer which wouldn't work. when out of the blue my x-mas hating other half calls and says he is abandoning the plans i told him to make for x-mas (you see i was meant to be working nights before illness struck) and coming to get me. and get me he did, he took me back to his place, we sat in-front of the fire (ok so it wasn't a real fire) after i had the bath he ran me. then we watched as much heroes as there is available and a film whilst gorging ourselves on x-mas snacks. before retiring to bed to in each others arms. sometimes - to make Christmas truly special - *insert sickening musical overtone* - all you need is love |

This year i am planning on spending my x-mas under a duvet the above comes from the fact i have this bloody winter flu, plus a secondary chest infection (causing me to gurgle in my lungs so i sound like a broken washing machine). i was meant to be on night shifts and so keeping busy for the festive season, but instead i have been signed of work until next week. i told my housemates who where thinking of staying around to head to other places and see people as i would only be sleeping. so now i have plans for Christmas, cold, alone, and very very ill (although i might not be so cold as i have just figured out how my bloody central heating works. yeah me! But don't pity me. for i shall be back with avengence this New Years - however if you are in Brighton and have any DVD's or videos i could hijack to keep me entertained i'd be most gratefull p.s. Gareth and Louise - i am already working my way though your collection. |

So i just had my very first phone interview what a horribly odd experience. i must admit i had made extensive notes. i seemed to know more about the buissness as a whole then the interviewer. which i assume will go down well rather then as pretensious. the recruitment procsess i am on takes over a year to compleate and if succsessfull i will be starting work for the company as a line manager in September of next year. i'm not really sure what i'm doing going for these things. i kind of assumed that i would eventually know where i want to go in life and what i want to do. i figured that i wanted to be a nurse but seeing the current state of that job (more paperwork then actual care) i feel slightly disillusioned by the whole thing. i think i want to be a TREE |

so today my pet snake George died. No idea why, I'd fed him only a few hours earlier, then this evening when i looked in on him he was dead. this has not been a good day |

see working in a hospital has some great fringe benefits, one of which being that you develop an immunity to minor bugs and things, you also develop an immune system to be proud of. the problem with the above being if you do get sick its genrally not one of the minor little bugs. hence i got sent home from work last night for a combernation of coughing up blood and vomiting lots. whoop, my body is rather hadnily in night shift mode, and so rather then curled up in bed i am sat with duvet at computor having finished my book (pratchett good). i have decided that my current illness is a type of flu, and i am calling it bertha. bertha will, i am determined be gone by tommorrow afternoon. or else she will face the wrath of some pretty serious medication also on a note of warning, never, ever, ever mix benylin with red bull...... it only makes things worse |

Do you ever get that pit of your stomach feeling that all is not well. you cant quite place your finger on what is wrong, but you know that somewhere something is going badly, and that in some way this will effect you. this feeling has been with me all afternoon. i have no idea why. oh well. it feels like now would be a great time to get very very drunk, but that is never ever a good idea. |

Now you too can help save lives: Send something different this season and save lives by doing so.
http://www.maternityworldwide.org/
Let me put this very simply -
In 2005 -
Number of maternal deaths in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States : Estimated at 2,600
Number of maternal deaths in Sub-Saharan African : Estimated at 265,000.
Two hundred and sixty-five THOUSAND. In Ethipoia, the risk is one in SEVEN.
Let me just let that settle in for a moment.
.
.
.
.
Ready? I'll continue.
- Every minute of every day, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth
- In Ethiopia the lifetime risk of dying in pregnancy or childbirth is 1 in 7.
- An estimated 1 million young children die shortly after the death of their mothers.
Maternity Worldwide runs maternity projects in the developing world.
The average cost of a delivery by a trained professional in a hospital in Ethiopia is only £15.
This, to most people in the developed world is a small price, but to people in Western Ethiopia it is very expensive, considering that the average wage is only £110 (US$185) a year.
Want to give something different to your friends and family this Christmas? If you told me that, for my present, you'd sponsored a safe birth on my behalf then I. Would. Be. Proud. Of. You. Truly. Can't afford that? Really? Then you can buy your cards from Maternity Worldwide. You were probably going to send those anyway, right? The cards, by the way, have a "Season's greetings" note inside, rather than "Merry Christmas", in case you have Chanukah coming up. They are availiable to buy online, and feature a piece by local artist Sophie Joyce. The link, in case you missed it, is http://www.maternityworldwide.org/christmascards.htmlCan't afford that either? Then you've got time, right? Right? You can almost certainly help out - either in the Brighton Office, or by joining the Brighton Fundraising Group or the London Fundraising Group. Or in a variety of other ways, some of them from your own desk. Email info@maternityworldwide.org. None of that? Really, truly? Then that's fine. Thank you for reading. Now, you can Copy; Paste; Post, in your own journal and possibly somebody you know can help too. Thank you for your time. http://www.maternityworldwide.org/index.htmlwe also have a facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/edit.php?members&gid=2352148409#/group.php?gid=2352148409 |

so today i walked home for work, and i decided that the pavement does not get the loving it deserves, so i dutifully fell flat on my face to kiss it. unfortuanly our loving embrace has left me wounded, but for once the symptoms are more physical then mental. i appear to have sprained my ankle. and have left a gift of 2 large chunks of skin on the pavement in order that it wont forget i once loved it. this will prob mean time of work, which will mean problems with my sickness, which will mean occupational health, which will place my secondment in jepordy. so whoop de do there. i will need to phone my boss and see if i can have annual leave to cover the sickness so that i wont have to deal with all that. why do i get the feeling she'll say no, but i'll soon find out in the am. in further news, it is my favorite contest in the world next sat, eurovision. and boy am i looking forward to it! whoop.
not sure what my plan is yet, but i'm sure i'll figure something out. in even further news, WOW has taken over my life, and i have started using terms like IRL ironically in real life. help me all, help me |

April is an evil month. oh so evil indeed. i've just never really gotten on with april. i dont know why, bad stuff always seems to happen around this time of year, and if it didnt happen in April theres always something to remind me of in during the month. and so i put out this plea. distract me from april. anything you can think of to make sure april passes in a hazy blur of laughing and not caring is more then welcome. in further unrealated events. i now have a new housemate, an aussie by the name of christie she replaces the lesbien named kate. who is leaving fot the fortified barriers of a 3 bed with her best mates. thus we now have a st8 normal girl living her. which is odd as for the first time in a while i am very tempted to tone down my shock jock approach to life in favour of 3 months of easy living without worrying that if i upset her the rent goes down the pan. now i'm also pretty sure that she is a lovely well adjusted person, but i worry about the fact the the rest of us here arnt. hmmmm. i think i prefere the mall adjusted, there just easier to get on with this ramble was brought to you by paranoid insomnia, please feel free to complain to your service provider about poor quality updates |
