Hangover and job
i feel like shit. as darren described his hangiver the other day, my head feels like there is a frenchman living in it.
well, got a job! hoorah!
am working at a call center, trying to flog people upgrades for or new IBM AS400's, which, if you dont know, is a server (...or big computer for you non techies out there...) which costs about 200,000 pounds. needless to say, the hit rate isnt very high. still, im salaried, so it doesnt make any difference how many i sell or upgrade. its a bit mind numbing, but the moneys not bad, i should clear about 550 bucks a week, which is a reasonable amount over here....the flat is 120 bucks a week, so i may even end up saving some money! wahey! or maybe just blow it all on women and wine. whatever. we'll see. its all good. well, apart from having to get up at 6.45 in the morning to get there...its about an hour away on the bus. the bus is so variable...sometimes takes an hour, sometimes half an hour. so in order to avoid being late, you end up getting there half hour early which is infuriating when you consider that you could have had an extra half hour in bed. anyway, having done nothing but slob about for the past 4 months its all a bit of a shock to the system.
anyways, the reason i have such a bad hangover is that me and some mates from work and dazza went out and got shedded. then ended up having life type discussion with chantal till 6am. then she woke me up at 12 and prctically pushed me out of bed. so here i am, feeling ill and now she wants to go eat....oh dear, hope my stomach can cope with it.
still, onwards and upwards. its a beutiful day and i dont have to work tomorrow....
