Been a while since I actually wrote a blog so figured I'd give an update of where I am now.
On Friday (3rd September) I handed in my notice at work. Such a huge relief. Was easily the worst job I've ever had, without a doubt. And even the thought of 4.5 more working days there, until I finish at lunch time on Friday 10th, are enough to fill me with dispair.
They basically gave me the equivalent of a Yellow Pages full of 'Speciality Chemical' businesses and told me to type it up into an excel document. 1956 companies, 13 columns of information for each. That equates to 25,428 cells of data inputted by yours truly over the course of a working week. Mind-numbing. The job isn't even made better by my colleagues, all of whom are many years my senior and completely indifferent to my existence.
So it is with absolutely no regret that I leave this job other than the fact it put money in my bank account. But that in itself would not have kept me there much longer anyway!
As of Wednesdy 15th I will be heading back to Bristol to work as an Event Operator again for UWE Freshers 2010. It'll be good. Always hard work, long hours and has you wondering at points why you're doing it but that's always made up for with good times and a sense of accomplishment. Not to mention a further year to add to my CV - my third year in a row of being involved with UWE Freshers.
The only drawback is that it's a temporary role and after 26th September and being paid for perhaps half the hours I'll actually work, I'll be back into the world of unemployment which is not good when you're trying to get some money away to go travelling round the world with. Good to get in the gym when it's quiet though! Every cloud.
Hoping to secure work for when I get back before I leave, but we'll soon see.
Not much else to report. Have just got over a pretty mad cold and have been out of the gym for a week now. And with that my diet - one where I pretty much have to eat everything in sight to gain some weight (but good stuff) - took a hit and I just started raiding the junk food again. Feeling very bad and lethargic and keen to get back on the dietary straight and narrow tomorrow and back in the gym tomorrow night.
Had a good few nights out recently, with a lot of binging adding to the general bad feeling I have at being lazy etc! Thinking I'll prob take a bit of time out with the drinking now. Have been using it to push Krissy out of my head but can't keep it up for much longer. Better to beast it out in the gym.
Drawn a blank as to what else I wanted to say. Will write a topical blog soon.
Peace.
