I did fall into the trap of “offering” to help my friend move. Usually the things I excel in are 1. Avoiding Weddings, 2. Avoiding Family Gatherings, 3. Avoiding Helping with moving and house stuff!
In all fairness it was a good friend… So off I trotted saturday morning to pick up a hire van… then spent the weekend being White Van Man – which I had to admit was fun… Get out the f*cking way you stupid b*tch… like my normal driving but just on steroids as im now in a huge van so people wont argue with me 🙂
OK I had to push myself a fair bit to not lose my temper with my friend who can only be described as a girl when it comes to physical labour… but I wont hold that against him! He’s nice the rest of the time!
After a huge two days of moving I thought about taking the time to actually deal with why my feet are always bloody hurting… this involved taking the GP’s advice and with a corn knife scraping of the hard layers of skin… unfortunately the plantation wart (or verucca – im not sure which) I accidentally took off a little bit too much…. which considering the hot weather cause a major issue… blood would not stop pouring out… after going through *lots* of plasters and about an hour of faffing I managed to stem the flow of blood…. unfortunately the ensuing state of the flat was one that can only be seen in a horror movie…. I probably only lost about 100ml of blood ish… but it was everywhere! It took another two hours to clean up! Thats the last time I listen to the damn stupid GP… I asked her for a referal to a specialist and was told to go buy a knife and acid to burn it off… so why on earth do I have medical cover?
Anyway…
On a lighter note, I have been trying to work out what additional education I want to do…. now last time I tried this I walked into Hert uni and wondered around for a while insulting the new undergrads by asking why on earth they would be looking to do an undergrad degree…. turns out the postgrad fair was the week after and I had my dates wrong…. oh well! Next time I will try and be a bit nicer!
Im not overly sure what I want to do… but considering today I have spent the day “working from home”…. well ok lets be honest I did a few conference calls… researched a course or degree to do… read a paper on energy systems and watched Ben 10…. while constantly checking email like a priest waiting for the second coming – I actually wasnt waiting for anything in particular just was hoping something important would come in!
Its very nice to chill out in Cafe Nero on a Monday afternoon while its boiling, no wait raining, no boiling again… outside, I could be in the office in Slough, but its nicer here – and less people to annoy me!
Anyway.. I need to go and setup a website for raising money for charity when I do great north run!
