... since the last entry. Not that there happened too much in my life. I've done shitloads of overtime... but then...what had happened... Well the last time I posted was review time, not that the review was worth anything, as there's no pay rise this year anyway. To be honest, I think, if the company doesn't get bought in the next year or so, there isn't going to be pay rises anymore anyway... it's more likely the company is going to go bust. Maybe I should start putting my CV out again, just in case.
What else... my best friend is moving back to Germany. She's pregrant, and worried... it is hard to be a single mum in the best of times... anyway, she's going to move back to her mum, until the baby's going to be big enough for her to start working again. By then she wants to move back to England.
As I said, I did a lot of overtime lately, so I'm taking that time off work to have a holiday in Lanzarote. My first non-Aikido related holiday in years.
What else, my dad is going to give me some money to pay off my student loan at the end of the year. I personally would prefer to use the money to put it down for a mortage (the loan is interest free), but that's not going to happen. At least I will be debt free by the end of the year (well I'll still be paying off the car, but that's actually going to be covered by my savings). With a bit of luck (and if my company doesn't get bust in the mean time), I'll have the deposit for the house next year this time... in any case, looks like another year in this shithole in Horden...
That's mostly it... apart from, I hate this time of the year... makes me feel really lonely, but what is one to do? The girls my age are all either taken, or there is a good reason why they aren't... and all the nice girls left are more than 10 years younger than me.... well life's a bitch... having said that, so long....
