Update

Well the whole idea of posting every month or week isn’t quite working, but I figured that :p

But whats new with me you may ask, not much. Working hard, new phone and a few trips with Sinead.

The new phone, my lovely Nokia 5800 Music XpressMusic, which is quite a phone if i do say so. Just as good as my N95 but not as bulky. The touch makes it a whole lot easier to use.

Still working at the same job, not a whole lot of hours but none the less I count my self lucky to have a job in a recession :D

As for my time time away with Sinead, it was class. We stayed in a 5 star hotel called The Heritage. We got sorted with a 2 bed roomed apartment, flat screen TVs in the bed rooms and sittings room, full kitchen, gas fireplace and  2 bathrooms one of which was an en-suite. We sat in with a few drinks and watched a few movies, even rented one for town. We also made a visit to their spa, which I was forced into but once I got there it wasn’t so bad. 5 different saunas, a foot spa thingy and a hydro-pool all which were cool. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. All in all I advise it to anyone if you have a few euros to spare.

But that about sums up my news, as always will update when something happens or more likely I can be arsed to :p

Where?

Wow been a long time since I made a post so I decided that there is no time like the present. But where to start with the update?

I say with the most important thing in my life and that’s Sinead my beautiful girlfriend. Over a year and couldn’t be happier. Loads of great time’s and not alot of bad ;) She is well and studying at college to join the dental nurse work line (Fair f**ks to her).

Guess the next thing your wondering is what about me? Well I gave college 3 months of my life and it wasn’t the best thing i’v ever done plus with with the IT sector dead in this country why bother to join the lines of people on state benefits? Simple don’t! So I now work for a well known part of the health care system as a Care Assistant and couldn’t love my job better, well I could if I had more hours. More hours your wonder, well as it stands I’m only a fill in guy for when someone doesn’t want to work or can’t so there are many hours for me :( But on the upside I also do some IT in the spair time and also do some bar work when needed which is another grand job (why spend money on a good time when you could be suppling the good times?).

Also got a new PC, a , which I might add kicks ass with the power its bringing.

Rather good if I do say so myself (also fair play to Aldi for the price they offered it at).

Also to update my last post about my phone. An internal problem cause it to break and after sending it back on the 3rd time to be fixed for the same problem (never even left the shop the first 2 times as even the shop assistant could see it was still f**ked) it came back fixed and not had a problem with it since so fair play to the nokia techies for fixing it ;) thumbs up.

Also I’m driving since last may and carry a full licene but the only car I get to drive is the parents car, not a bad car too. Diven a few other cars/vans and I must say that there is nothing like it. A nice 1.6 VVT Toyota Avensis Strata class, just can’t strees of much of a beauity of a car it is to drive. Also hopping out of it is fun as hell because all the people around me look at me thinking “wtf does he do for a living?”, fun times all around anyways :p

But thats all for now, may update sooner the next time ;)

Phone – N95

My phone, the N95 is one of the best on the market right. Even have a look at it’s specs

It all looked good right? wrong! my phone has been sent back off to nokia for them to have a look at it because it wont power on. When I did manage to get it on I turned it off within a few minutes because it was getting very very hot around the top of the screen/power button which sounds like the something shorted out within it. Before anyone points it out to me, it didn’t get wet and didn’t fall, it was sitting in the car door while I was driving.

When I picked it up, it was off and wouldn’t turn on so I guess we have to wait and see if Nokia try to blame me for it f**king up :(

Time’s up

Well after 6 long years in the education system my time is nearly up. Just a week till I sit my exams and see where life is going to lead. As the old saying goes, it’s the beginning of the end. The hope is collage but we will have to wait and see.

Also got my application for my summer job which I shall not say where but they need my signature to do a background check with the cops to make sure I’m no psycho :p
