Lott In Life

So much for luck. So much for omens. Today is 07/07/07. It's my birthday. It's the first day of my holidays. You'd think that'd be worth a few numbers on the lottery? Not a sausage. So my 47th year begins with no marked improvement on the previous 46. Okay, I'm being a tad over-morbid. But I feel... Sign in to see full entry.

My Beautiful Laundrette

Has upped sticks. Moved to larger premises half a mile away. I don’t drive. It’s a bit of a trek. They are to run a free delivery service – pick up my laundry, do a service wash, bring it back, at no extra cost. Why do I think I’d feel guilty availing myself of this Service? Why do I know for sure... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to work tomorrow. Definitely. Much as I've quite liked staying home, sleeping a lot, spending all my time on myself and sod everyone else - discomfort and immobility permitting - it's time to get back to 'the real world' again.

Norton has just finished its weekly virus check on my behalf, and for about the fifth week running it has found 8 viruses (varies from week to week, but about a half-dozen each time). And what has it done? Nothing. Zero, zilch, nada. Not repaired, quarantined, deleted or excluded - nothing. And try... Sign in to see full entry.

My 'leave' has lasted all week. Sicknote from Doc on Wednesday to cover me till Monday. Boss was fine about it. Even got his advice on the things - (I've never filled/handed in a sicknote before!). Slight difficulty - my Lottery Bonus Ball - 42 - has popped up twice running since I've been off! This... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm now posting on three different blog sites. Feels like I have a syndicated column. Except that I'm not getting paid obviously. Well, artists are supposed to starve. Except I'm not actually starving. And I'm certainly not artistic. Strike three. Called my supervisor at home last night and told him... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to the Doc, who must be wondering if I'm leafing through a medical encyclopedia to test his range of expertise by now. This time it was my old back problem. I did this long, long ago, and it has cropped up periodically ever since, but never this bad. Been sore for a few days now, but this... Sign in to see full entry.

Our Doc's practice brochure states quite clearly "call first thing (8am) if you want an appointment with a specific Doctor that day, as they tend to go very quickly. I called at 8.02am Monday. I got an appointment for 4.10pm today. This wasn't a run-of-the-mill thing, though it was probably an... Sign in to see full entry.
