Wow JJ you're up early!

I woke at my usual time to feed cats, although I am off today as it's tattoo day! I'm equal parts nervous and excited, I start at 10:30 and it could go on for 4 hours or more my biggest tattoo and the longest time spent in the chair so far Consequently I couldn't go back to sleep after I woke up so I've had a cup of tea and am reading my book and the internet to distract myself. Red is just getting up and it's odd to be here while he is he's not much for communicating in the morning though

Right, back to the book .... Have good tuesdays everyone.

Morning.

It took me ages to get off to sleep last night, and the next thing I know the alarm is going off, followed by the cats.

Oh well, at least I haven't got anything to do.

Morning all,

Feels like I haven't been here for a while... I must be busy!

It's half term, so I'm catching up on paperwork, before this afternoon's team meeting... YAY!

OK, I'm off to find some online music to work to so...

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all

All of team (bar Moi!) is either off sick or on half term so not only trying to do my work but fielding all of their calls - Oh yes and my Blackberry died the other day so people are now starting to call saying "Why arn't you picking up"

Morning all.

Good afternoon everyone.

Got new meds for blood pressure... Side effects headaches, restriction? Asprin, Ibuprofen and Paracetemol negate its effectiveness!

Morning World!

Tattoo Day 2 and I'm more nervous than excited. My endorphins ran out after 3 hours yesterday which meant I was a shaking and slightly tearful mess...either that or it was the thought of having to watch Avatar 3 times in a row! ( ) I am still quite proud of how far we got, I just wish I could have hung on a little longer. I'm off today as well so no pressure to hurry up and get back to work, I may treat myself to a pub lunch once the tat is done, we'll see.

Can't really focus on anything else, tattoo pain is quite intense when the work is going on, but as soon as he lifts his hand away it's gone and I can't remember what it felt like at all...until he starts work again Luckily most of the shading low down is nearly finished. Just have to make sure I keep my shoes on to stop my feet getting cold. That was really odd, I was sitting backwards on his chair, facing away from him, my core was really hot, uncomfortably hot, but my hands and feet were cold Well, there's that to look forward to until lunchtime then it's home free this afternoon!

Morning all.

Tattoos. Not partial, myself, but there you go. We'll expect pictures later, mind.

I've lost count of job applications I sent out yesterday. As ever, not a squeak from the recruiters. To be fair, I don't expect one to contact me for three weeks after the closing date, but still...

Off to pay a visit to the Defiant today. We didn't go Sunday or Monday, for reasons I don't recall but made sense at the time. Sadly, the workshop doesn't allow photography.

Onwards and sideways.

Morning all.

Looks like another busy day in the office today

morning

Morn

This morning I seem encumbered by a rather heavy heart and a feeling of futility in the face of all-conquering mediocrity. It's very hard for this engineer-turned-cleaner to stay upbeat when I have to witness the peddling of artless, unimaginative, electronic tat designed by witless, no-talent ass-clowns. It's made all the harder given the recent spate of expiries of important, truly useful figures in the field.

At this rate we'll be lucky to progress much past the rowing boat Enterprise

Morning all

Feel supprisingly cheerful today - not sure why as everyone in my teamn is now off and so with fielding all of thier queries work is not really getting done

Morning all.

Nice day, if a little chilly.
As an added bonus, will be off round a friends house this evening to watch some films and possibly have take-out.

Have a great day folks.

Bloody rain.....
