I'm down to working one day a week at the moment - waiting for a new contract to start, that's like, 3-4 weeks behind schedule. The missus is getting a bit worried now and saying to me, tell 'em to get a move on or you'll get another contract! and I'm like, er, hello! recession on, no jobs love! I've nothing else to turn to, I have to wait on this, my one and only contract godammit!
sigh. How did it ever come to this?

cleethorpes
Yes! windy, northern cleethorpes - get ready for me! as I am coming to see you this bank holiday weekend for some windy camping fun. I gotta do something, and cleethorpes is it.
Right now, I have 2 ipods, 1 itouch, one psp, 2 phones and a portable DVD player all charging up like fuck ready to be played on route and/or in the tent over the next few days. I've even downloaded a rented copy of a recent film to play on my iTouch - which will be novel but it's taken hours to bloody download from iStore.
Another wasted week at work - having been given training on our new search engine admin features, we are all now more clueless then before as to how to do mash-ups, spot lights, classification and everything else we've promised senior management we'd be able to do once we'd bought £100k worth of searching software - good job I am a contractor, so won't be around for much longer with any luck.

its been a long time...
I was out last night with the one remaining so-called mate, we actually started at 3:30 with me already 2 pints in from a previous meeting. By 7:30 i was done in and ready for home, still good to catch up.
Glad to be still working in these very worrying days, my present employer having extended my contract until oct means I can finally pay off my tax from last year and with any luck afford a holiday to Croatia in Aug. but in this world, there's nothing guaranteed.
My sister and oldest mate are coming over later, so I'm off for a lay down to summon up some energy. laters.
