Months've gone by.

Yes, I've practically abandoned this blog for good since I started working. I have, or at least had, loads and loads of things to let out but just never seem to have the time to do it. I shall try and find time at some point - maybe tomorrow. Or Thursday. Sigh, eventually...

4 weeks in.

I can't believe I've been working (well, not really) for a whole month already. And worse yet, that my exams are coming up this Wednesday!

Can I just say that I think that Tax can be useful and all and I understand that we should be able to calculate stuff so that we know whether things are right or not when we see them. BUT. Why must I learn all the dates of when forms must be submitted, for how long must sole traders/companies keep their records for, and up to how many years can the tax authority question your calculation. Not to mention the gazillion assessable (fancy term for 'taxable') benefits and allowable expenditure. At the end of the day them tax people are hired to do this job, not me, and so I add to my loathe against Tax.

And don't even get me started about Assurance - just kill me. Either I seriously lack common sense or the thing's just crazy beyond believe. I'm so annoyed by it that I'm not even gonna waste time whining about it.

I just want my internet right now. I have a router but no signal from the phoneline - how very typical ey these British companies. Immensely efficient and effective - couldn't ask for anything else.

If only I ruled the world. It wouldn't be perfect but it'll be a damn great one.

Two weeks in.

Facing the dock and the East Tower.

The dock.

Ok, so I've survived my working life for two weeks now and so far it's been exhausting. It's not too miserable but at the same time it's rather sad that I'm leaving college at 8pm practically everyday - especially when it finishes at 4/4:30.

Given yesterday was a Friday, after a round of drinks at The Castle (yet another pub) I decided it's better to go out for dinner rather than to come straight home. Ended up going to Nando's (even though I don't really like it) and getting home at 11...it was a long day.

I don't even know what I'm typing anymore. Heading outside today. Want to get some shopping done, well, need to get some shopping done especially when the past two weeks has been nothing but work and house cleaning.

Just went out today - for the first time in 2 weeks(!) - and although it was meant to be good fun, I ended up exhausted and still have half my to-buy list unticked. Life. Saw this duvet cover - for my new double size - and it was 179pounds...egyptian cotton, 1,000 thread count. If only. Marks & Spencer had something ridiculously similar for 49pounds, also egyptian cotton but 400 thread count - almost bought it but it was in white. It looks great and all, just like them 5 star hotels but I don't know if it'll stay white and whether I'll feel like I'm always sleeping in a hotel rather than at home.

Let's hope I get some work done tomorrow. Still have to ruddy clean the house as well. HOW FUN.

Seriously.

Due to lack of better things to do - since from the looks of it I'm going to fly by with my first few modules (not jinxing anything hopefully) - I am watching X Factor. What bugs me though is how ridiculously deluded some people are. Some of them just genuinely believe that they are oh so gifted and worse yet some of them are tone deaf and don't know it! I mean the latter I can sympathise with but those idiots that believe that they're the next Madonna, Mariah Carey, Cher or Whitney Houston (as that seems to be the typical answers of where they see themselves) should give themselves a slap in the face in the mirror - lame.

Some of these people are, however, born to do this. They are meant to sing. Bless them.

My waffling aside - I've just survived my first week ever at a real job! It wasn't too bad actually, some of it was just mind numbingly listening to someone ramble on and poor them, they really don't have the zest for life. I guest it's just not in their nature.

The one thing I've learnt this week? CAN THE BRITISH DRINK! I think they just have nothing better to do after work but to hit the pub and drown themselves away in pint after pint of (disgusting) beer babbling about the most senseless thing. It's quite a bizarre culture, really. Do they have nothing better to do? Bless them too, especially when all that beer can only lead to one thing. A BEER BELLY!

INTERNET!

I NEED INTERNET. I NEED ME SOME INTERNET. Ok, for the time being I have 8 more one-day passes and that'll keep me comforted for long enough BUT the f*cking wireless keeps dying and I keep getting disconnected. It's like paying for nothing. It'll be another ages, though hopefully not, before my phoneline's activated and before I have broadband up and running. I should have gotten the ruddy thing installed before I went back.

And I still have to sort out my bills. Both my water and electricity haven't been paid for a while and I'm worried that this ruddy place might stop having one and/or the other before I finish.

Too many things to do. First day at work tomorrow. Big step! Shower time!

The good life.

Sit back and relax - run on autopilot - go on a mental vacation. Who wouldn't like to that every once in a while? Nevermind that. I drove me an Audi A6 today and I am IN LOVE. The car is like a dream and I just loved everything about it. The keyless system. The omg engine - perfectly smooth at 200kmph - and the brakes worked just as well. The sensors. The automatic windscreen wiper. ETC ETC ETC.
One of these days when I strike gold (or any other precious elements, or the lottery, or an inheritance). One day.
