2:32 pm	Job stuff. Man what a busy few wks it's been, been 2 loads off interviews & still applyin for stuff(perm work). I've got a new job with a different agency tho doin electonics, it's a test engineers job. It's on days & more money than the warehouse 1. I start on the 29th off Jan, I took this wk off 2 re-adjust & also had some interviews this wk. Heard from Marconi, I thought the interviews(saw 3 different PPL) went OK & was there for about 1 & a half hrs but found afew days later that this was not the case, such is life. For those that don't know I've been goin out with Misti from the rock-city chatroom/messageboard for about 2 months now & been spendin alot off time with her, mainly the weekend's. After stuff in my past(not just 2000) I thought I'd never find some1 who I could truely be at ease with & trust 100%. We are very direct with each other & very the same in many ways. I've known since we 1st meet back in Nov 2000 there was a connection between us, we've had some up's & downs which I think have made us closer. 2 sum up we've both fallen for each other big time & I can see us stayin 2gether for along time ahead. I'm lookin forward 2 the weekend coz it's my 1st trip 2 rock-city in 2001, havin a messageboard meet as ever but it's also a couple off friends/sister's birthday's. It's my mates Phil 2 day & Sharrons on Sunday. Later PPL, hopefully things will carm down abit & I can write more. Take care as ever.

2:57 pm	Job Huntin. Well I've finally got my ass in gear about gettin a job, I was lookin at the Nottm evening post on Wens & was surprised at the amount off jobs goin with it bein so after Xmas. I've sent out afew CV(given up countin now) in reply 2 stuff via e-mail & also printed out at least 2 application forms from various sites. The main 1 was a advert for Marconi in Nottm, phoned the number in the advert & answered some questions & now have a interview next Tues, 16th over in Chilwell at a Hotel. I also checked out where the place was last nite b4 goin 2 work, since it won't that far away. So as U can guess I've been busy over the last few days, also had more probems with BT about my last phone bill. Man I got passed around like hell yesterday & was on the phone a good 1hr+. I wonder if any1 at the company has a idea like. Just had a phone call from a agency on the downstairs phone, I mite have another interview next week, just tell me the details etc. They will get back 2 me on Monday. Rock'n'Roll or what? Also done some work on my website the other day, added a new section & moved afew things around. Mainly the photo's bit with my friends on, it was gettin abit 2 big so I moved the PPL from the rock-city messageboard/chatroom 2 a new bit called "the r-c rouges gallery". Also added some stuff about Hamish the cat but it needs checkin out 1st by Misti. Anyway I've got afew things 2 do, so take care as ever & have a good weekend.

8:55 am	Man what a Blast. The last 7 days have been such a blast. I've driven over 900miles From last Monday to Sunday just gone like, now that's some mileage people in less than a week. I worked it all out from the Petrol Receipts coz I clock the milage like for my own purposes. I've drove about the same amount as I do in a month in less than 7 days. Is it not wonder at the allniter I was not feelin 100%, with the heat & lack off sleep over the last week. I think it all caught up with me, is it not wonder then I was sick(I only had 1 pint sat nite mind). There was 1 point I was thinkin off not goin out at all but I'm such a trooper/hero I just had 2 go even if I did turn up abit late in the Tap. Put that down 2 Fog on the A1 on the way back from Peterbrough, mind we didn't leave till after 8pm I recall. I think I fit in with the locals at Peterbrough, it was surprisin how many off the though I was from around there but when they found out I was from Nottm is was like FUCKIN HELL, the people I meet down there made me very welcome, CHEERS GUY's & GAL'S. God help us all when I get 2 DJ down there at the club. More details 2 follow. More later when I finished tidyin my room up, u can see some off the carpet now mind.
