I haven't posted on here for such a long time and most days, I kick myself for not doing so. It's made me feel like I was at school again, and I'd always leave my homework until 10pm on a sunday night then do it and it'd be shit. The only difference here is that I have no deadlines to meet.
I hope this isn't shit, though.
I am now convinced that my lack of blogging here is due to my daily blogging here. I see things on a daily basis that rile me and vex me, and I used to come here so often to vent and it'd be make me feel better. Well I've decided that now is a good time. It's sunday afternoon and I'm in work (on a break), so it's as good a time as any.
Tomorrow, I am going to be told that the building I currently work in is to close in two years time and we're moving to a fancy new one, somewhere in Skelmersdale. We can see only one reasonable location at White Moss Park, so we'll have to see what comes of that. I doubt very much that I'll learn anything other than what is freely available on the grapevine tomorrow, but if I do, I'll do my best to pop back and update you.
In the last month I've had an Ultrasound and an MRI scan. Ultrasound because my belly has been hurting a lot near to where I had a hernia years ago. The scan revlealed nothing abnormal. So I went back to my GP who has told me to consume loads of Omeprazole tables until further notice. Only been taking them for four days now, and I am not in the same sort of pain at all.
The MRI was marvellous to have done. It, too revealed nothing weird going on in my head. Weird things do go on in my head, but nothing physical is abnormal. I was only having that done because I was having a fair few dizzy spells at the tail end of last year. I've not had any for weeks and weeks now and I'm beginning to feel like a bit of a fraud. I shall not chase that one up.
The power in the building I'm in has just gone off twice in 2 minutes. Then the fire alarms went off. We had a good think about weather or not we could be arsed walking down five flights of stairs and then go and stand on the other side of the car park. We decided not to. The alarms eventually stopped and I rang the (to be fair) moron security guard. He told me he thought there might be a fire on the third floor but said it was probably due to the alarms going off. We really are in safe hands here.
It's Easter next weekend and snow is forecast this week. It says for Northern England. It really does mean Northern though. Newcastle, Carlisle, that sort of North. I maintain that we live in the North Midlands here. It's a frigging long way North until you fall into Scotland.
I am starting to yearn for things I used to do that I don't do any more. Things like my scanner. I spent just under £300 10 years ago and it is/was ace. I still have it, and it still works. I used to listen to the local constabularies on it but now they, like us, have gone digital so that's a no go.
I have also had desires to use a CB radio. I owned one of these for many years. My handle was "glo-worm". My 4 watt broadcasts could be heard all over the north west. It was in the era of pre-internet. In a time when people actually spoke to each other. Night after night I'd go "on the rig" and speak to all the friends I'd made on there. You would help taxi drivers or lorry drivers wtih directions round town, too. Yes it's sad and geeky, but that sums me up quite well.
I also had a dabble at some DJ'ing a few weeks ago and that blew my mind. I loved it SO much, and it made me want to DJ again. Being realistic though, you'd need to earn a fair bit of money to make it a viable venture. And you'd be out EVERY weekend evening or you're losing money. Shades Disco. RIP.
My idea for a disco would be from a "classic hits, with no R&B" point of view. Maybe not excluding every R&B track, but there would be veeery few. I think that offering soemthing like that would be good. I think people would want that. A few weeks ago during a lull in work I priced up DJ equipment. New, albeit. In the region of £2500-£3000 to get a half decent set up. It's not happening is it?
I've gone on for a while now, so sorry.
I've made the website look a bit more 70's with a new template and fancy wallpaper. Hope you like it.
I am gonig to go and get some vimto and get ready to go home to my beautiful wife and child. Then tonight, I shall sleep on my new memory foam pillow. Ace.
T-ra!
