I gotta move...

Stupid dumb New Zealand and its stupid dumb daylight savings crap. Who was the idiot that came up with the dumb idea... New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson. Wow look I get to blame a kiwi, makes it easy as wont have to go far to torture him to death (well the best you can an already dead guy)

Once again I came to work an hour early and had to sit and wait. And before you laugh because I 'forgot' or say its my fault, you can only forget something if you knew about it to start with, and like normal no one thought to tell me it was that time of year again, or even thought to remind me.

Meanies, all of you.

So I shall move to somewhere where this crap idea does not exist!!!

Sad news and happy news

Well guess shall let you know the sad news first as it is always better to hear/read something good after the bad rather than bad after good, well thats what I think as since I am the one writing you just get to read it the way I want you to, well guess you could skip to the end and then read the start if you really want the good first.

Grandma Miller (dads mum) died on Friday morning. She was 91 so she did rather well and as far as I know it wasn't a painful death which in my opinion is the best thing as no one deserves pain at the end. She will be missed. Hugs to all of you who need some and some to those who just want some :)

Happy news is that my good friend Rochelle got married yesterday. She looked very beautiful and happy. So did her now husband, well he wasnt beautiful more handsome I'd go with. It was a lovely ceremony and reception, although I did not stay for the dance part but I'm sure that was also very good.

Now just for a random bonus news bit, and if anyone dies of shock at this news or almost does I am not to blame, you have been warned. Although I thought it may never happen it has, there is a little kid that is actually cute and not too bad. Admittidly I haven't seen her when she has been screaming but still she is kinda kool. Well done Marianne and Mark :)

Sangam Guiding World Home

is in India, which is where I will be from June to September. Yup I am off to do some of my O.E., guess you'd call it that as I will be overseas experiencing stuff. I am going to be a Volunteer Program Assistant at Sangam for just under 4 months.
More details coming. . .

Sorry didnt tell many of you by text but was waiting for it to be confirmed and then it was, at the end of the month and there is no money on my phone and less than no money in my bank account as some meanie (look at me being all poilte, mind not so nice) stole my money and has put me in overdraft, damn debit plus card and torchwood. No I not mad, just pissed and annoyed as bank gonna charge me for being overdrawn and it not my fault and realgroovy wont email me back as to whether they at fault or someone else.

But i'm still smylin as no one said that this world is fair or plays nice so I shouldnt expect any more

Hmmm what to say...

So its another Monday, did you notice that? I did as meant had to get up. Some days work feels more like work than it should. Hard to get up, and not interested in work, but guess that is the 'real' world.

Went to Tania's (friend from work) wedding on Saturday, it was real good. Rather wet though so her plan of a garden wedding was changed but it was still very enjoyable and she was very pretty. Going back to Taranaki in few weeks time for Chellz wedding, which will also be very goo I suspect.

Not much else has been happening. Watched Torchwood season two for pa, had to check that the discs were not damaged. It is a very good season and if you are watching it on tv I wont spoil it for you but you are in for a fantastic season finalie (though I may be biased on that it is still very good)

Rush of Wings - Adrian Phoenix

Dante is the star of the rock band Inferno and rumoured to be the owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot Club Hell. He was born of the Blood then broken by an evil beyond imagination.
FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace’s hunt for the sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer leads her to New Orleans, Club Hell and Dante.
Heather knows that something is linking Dante to the killer making him the next target but Dante resists her help and claims to be ‘nightkind’ aka a vampire. Heather believes she must unravel Dante’s past to stop him being the target but Dante has a dark secret, which once revealed it seems that no one can protect him from his destiny.

I picked this book up as I figured that with a lead character by the name Dante it had to be good. In fact it was better. A Rush of Wings was hard to put down and it had me hooked from page one.

Country all the way

Now most people right this talented man off as being a, I don't know really but not a good thing, and yet he is makes fantastic music. Guess you wanna know who I am talking about don't you, well that would be Mr Billy Ray Cyrus. Yup he is talented and I finally found one of his albums (all be it in the Warehouse clearence bin) and let me tell you it is better than even I would have guessed. I love his song Achy Breaky Heart (which just for your information some other guy released about a year before Cyrus did under the title Don't Tell My Heart and it flopped big time, Cyrus released it and it went big so that's gotta tell you something. It is still one of the most played country songs in the states), and yet that single is not the best song on the album.

You really should listen to some of his stuff and enjoy, its really easy to do. This album may just be the best album I get this year!

Thing they really should test and yet don't

I am guessing that by admiting this in writing is not nessecerity the wisest thing but since when I have I been that wise, really? And its not exactly admiting something - if you pay attention - its more maybe impying something, and those two things are very different!

When you go and get your licence they test that you know your road rules and that you can drive and see hazards while you are doing that driving. But there are other things that maybe they should test for, one in particular - what color you associate with go and stop. Sure if you are color blind you may not be able to get your licence, that they test for, but in general I think not being color blind but associating color that is different to the standard stop/go colors may present a problem. For example if you see red and think go and green means stop. Not always good.

Gotta learn to say NO!

You'd think after all these years of seeing dofus work so much and thinking that he is overworking himself that I wouldv'e learnt not to do the same but no. My problem is that I feel mean saying no to Dave or Jo if they ask if I can work and I'm not doing anything that day so I say yes. But this time I mayv'e learnt my lesson. Have just finished a 47 hour week, and before that was a 43 hour week and this week is going to be a 42 hour week. Which basically means I am working 6 or 7 days a week, silly me. Thankfully someone invented public holidays so that I do get the odd day off every so often.

Have come up with a new years resolution from this though, Work Less!

Wow it has been awhile...

Did you think I had disappeared??? Tough, no such luck :)

It seems that not much has been happening since last post but really it has. Christmas is over :) and so is new years. Spent the first with my brudda in Vegas and the second with friends at Whangamata.

Ma and Dofus came to visit the week after new years and that was kool. As a result Ma and I are off to Singapore in July :) very exciting.

Our flat is getting a new flatmate. He is moving in on Thursday and seems like a rather nice guy. Our puppy (who aint really a puppy but he still gets called puppy) is good and listens to me, well when I tell him to sit and stay which in my opinion is the important cammands, especially when the gate is open.

Not much else is happening. I am working far to much and need to learn to start no when I get asked if can work, especially if am already workign 5 or 6 days that week. I am getting better, but not soon enough I don't think.

Hope you are looking after yourself and all your loved ones :)
