Looking forward to Cardiff - nice way for me to celebrate the end of the Project and therefore end of my contract.

Still coming though - bought my seat and booked my hotel, just need to sort my train tickets out now!


Am paying for this by doing 12hrs overtime tonight after an 8hr shift today.

Mad, I know, but at least I can work from home tonight :)

I will be joining Duke & co in Vegas in November.

Without Joobs.

It is going to be EPIC.

So over the last few weeks I have been working nights. Those of you who have me on FB etc will have probably, at some point, seen/heard me moan about it. I dont know why I moan about it because it is quite possibly the easiest job in the world and I get compensated very well for it, but I am one of life"s serial moaners and I still moan.

It is sadly coming to a close tonight I believe (unless I get a last minute offer to extend it) and I start a new contract on Thursday. This is an easy typing job that pays quite well and takes me up to Vegas, which was what I was looking for. One of the main advantages of the contract work that I do is that I get to pick and choose my jobs and can structure them around my social life, which means I get to do things like Vegas and not have to worry about work holidays.

The downside is that I just dont get paid whilst away!

Definitely my last night tonight as I couldn"t get free"d up from my new contract which starts on Thursday.

I"ll be glad to be returning to normal but wish I could have done a few more now that I know they are on offer - after all it is free money for Vegas!

5 weeks and a bit to go before Vegas.

It feels more real now that I have bought my sim, got my dollars and started to plan my packing...only 33 days to go!

Not long to go now.

I intend to post a live TR this time, rather than one at the end. Will probably create a new thread for that so keep an eye out.

9 days...and I still haven"t started packing!

Julie is away in Glasgow tonight with work so my initial plans on the way home were to start packing. Needless to say, this has not happened!

I am a lover of these documentary-style police shows that you get on UK tv, the Motorway Cops/Cops With Cameras/999 What"s your Emergency - you get the jist. Channel 5 currently have a series running called Criminals: Caught on Camera. This one is of particular interest to me for 2 reasons.

  • It is based in Chester, so I am constantly looking for people I know.
  • It shows that we have far too many cameras watching our every move.

    So far, it has shown that it is a very good idea to avoid Chester on races day, and that I do not know any unsavoury types as I do not recognise any of the people caught on the cameras. I shall keep an eye out for Ger & co on the remaining episodes... ;)

All done now. Ready to go bar the last minute stuff (haircut, doctors appointments, last minute shopping...). Excitement levels are through the roof now, but 61hrs to go until I leave my house for Manchester Airport!
