Updating everyday has gone completely out of the window right? Well at least when I write my blog, I'll have at least something to say and I won't struggle to work out exactly what it is i'm going to talk about for one entry, so maybe I'll do this thing once a week or something, or whenever it is that I get around to sorting it out, I don't want to just let the blog go to waste, like so many of my blogs before, so I will try harder (I promise)! Wait did I say that last time?
*scuttles off to check* hmmm... after a very very quick skim, I don't believe I did... heh! Winnar!
Right so as I said last time, I have now started my new job, I am working for a brand new car insurance company (well they will be doing car insurance initially, then moving on to motorbikes, and then commercial vans and stuff) wow, I guess you're not really interested in the company, if you've got this far, I guess you're interested in meeee! heh, how vain can I be? well, I guess, having people read your blog, and it being about yourself, all bloggers are a little vain, in that respect! heh! (no offence of course, blogging is awesome)
Anyhoo, because it's a new company, and they've not even launced to the public we are basically ginuea pigs for the whole sales floor, initially there will be 10-15 of us starting, they are all in my training, so it's wicked, we all get first dibs on parking spaces (not that I can drive), first aid training, and all sorts to be honest, it's wicked! Also, everyone starting seems to be really cool, i've made like a small group of friends, as groups naturally split at work right? You can't have a mass group it's too hard too build relationships on a one to one level, as I'm sure you understand, also, you can't have any kind of conversation in that big of a group... I don't know why I'm explaining it too you, guess talking bullshit comes second nature too me!?
Alright so, the people I've made friends with, have been wicked, I've got to know a guy called Jay and a girl named Bev most, also another girl who's name eludes me, it's kinda shit, but whatever, and another guy called Graham, I smoke with Jay and Graham, which is cool, we get to talk about the non girly bullshit girls wish to talk about sometimes, and I'm not really any good at it, I try, but I'm just not that interested, in desinger labels and famous people girls like/dislike, the list is pretty much endless, and frankly each to their own on that one! lol
There is this one guy in the group, who, I don't like as much as the others, obviously, I only started on Monday, so I can't be sure I dislike him or whatever, (i'm being diplomatic) but he just seems to not know the point in which it is good to stop and think before opening his mouth, the normal "engage brain, then talk" seems to not happen, he just says whatever, and a lot of the time it's not exactly polite, wether it's inapropriate doesn't seem to occur to him, and you can see the whole room rolling their eyes already, I'm not sure if it's his nerves or if he is just a bit dense in the social world, but frankly, if he carries on i'm sure he's not going to last long, especially as he is going to be working in telesales, and that shit doesn't fly when you're talking too customers...
Anyway, back to the positive stuff, because bitching on a blog really isn't great (as you never know who it is who's reading what you have to say, I'd never want someone to be hurt over something I wrote on a blog, and then have them not know what to say to my face, you know?), So positives so far are, I'm actually employed, and although my body hates me for having to be up at 7am, it's really nice to have somewhere to go and something to wake up for, it's also an awesome feeling to actually contribute to our living style, and make it a little more financially well off, now I know it's going to still be tight, but I feel less worried about how the bills are getting paid. I hate relying on other people, to pay shit like that, because it's just not what I'm used too.. and I was never brought up to totally rely on other people!
Another great thing is work is a great way to meet new people, who have something in common with you, even if it is work, it is a good way to network, and more friends is never a bad thing, more parties, with a more diverse group, what more could you want from life, friends and parties?! lol!
What else, oh yeah my fiancé introduced me to a program called Apophysis, it looks kinda complicated to use, but it's just a case of fucking about with the different settings, which is pretty cool to be honest, as you can create your own digital art with little effort, it's a freeware product, and it's great fun, and really creative, with tons of random templates for you to screw about with and create your own designs.... I did one of my own, which I uploaded to deviantart < that's not my profile, but I thought it only polite too give them a link as I'm mentioning another website! lol This is a first attempt, so it's not perfect, but I really like it, I've called it "through the looking glass" I know it's a huge cliché but really, what isn't these days?
Click here for the picture!
What do you think is it any good? Leave me comments!
Anyway dinners nearly ready, so I will be offskies in a mo, so not much to bore you with, but my next post (which I might do tonight... I don't know just yet!) will be links to shit I found through stumbleupon that interested me/made me laugh or I just plain liked! Which I figure you guys will all enjoy, as, you're reading about me, so you might be a little interested in what it is I have to say and what sites I enjoy!
Well take care you guys, I will write again soon, I'm sorry again for being a slacker, I try not too be but starting a new job has made me a little tired!
Take care and lots of love
