Upon pondering

Am I happy with what I have?

That depends on how you view the situation. I have a flat, I have a car that is paid off, I have a job that pays fairly, I quite enjoy my job except for the hours, I have an awesome girlfriend, I have a few flatmates and I live in the city!

The flat is a humble 3 bedroom flat located in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It isn't the most flashiest of homes, I've been getting tradesmen to do work on it for me...windows...new storage space...gas cooker...door adjustments...painting of new door frame...new front door...a drive way and generally tidying up after myself. Being in the flat for 2 months with most of the necessary work almost complete...I can say it is becoming a place I enjoy coming back to after a day at work or somewhere to zone out and chill!

Car...I love my SEAT Ibiza FR Black Edition. Sadly I am having trouble with everyone else, I live on a street where parking can be an issue and cars passing by can be very close...back in September some Jackass bandit hit my car's wing mirror cover off...no damage to the car but the cover needed a polish for the scratches and super glue to keep it on. A few days ago, I found a small chip in the drivers side...it looks like a small stone bounced off the door...very unhappy about that!

I am a waiter. I serve and talk to many different types of people. The work isn't tasking but the hours are not ideal but it does settle the bills!

Girlfriend! (Dear intergalactic lord of the Universe...I love her to bits!) I honestly can't ask for more from this amazing woman...but she holds a darker side...what she would love to do is to move in with me and find a job and start a career in Edinburgh. The problem is...she's duty bound to her parent's business...she is trying to make everyone happy but herself.

Flat mates, I've known these guys since I was in my mid teens and a fantastic bunch they are! They help out...pull their weight and ease me of some financial stress!

The city, Edinburgh, honestly...since moving here to work and live...I've seen relatively little of Edinburgh...some day I work too much and should enjoy what the city offers. They do not know of my frugal ways as I plan to initiate a "get retirement early as an option" plan. Then again...am I working too hard for something too far away?

Of all things you see and hear...do you ever think about the possible problems that the person maybe facing? Small to medium sized problems isn't going to kill you but it will sap away your energy bit by bit without you knowing.

Take home message...do things that you like and makes you happy. It need not be successful but enjoy the journey and what it is that was being done. Life doesn't stop and wait for you...it will pitch you chances...chances i  different forms and ways...it is up to you to choose how happy or sad you want to be!

Tuesday 18th December

I have been drinking for almost the whole week...about 4-5units a time and have noticed that its not good for me...I can't think straight, I can't focus, I am losing motivation and its getting very depressing. OK, my ex girlfriend has got a new boyfriend shortly after the break up...it hurts. Deal with it better! OK, there's this girl I like but doesn't feel the same...it hurts. Deal with it better! My best friend, Adam, you are an irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Thank you for being there when I needed somebody the most and for giving me good enough reasons to hang on to what is left of my sanity. Now that I've sobered up a little can I realise that I am the one stopping myself from progress of any kind. With the Xmas period round the corner, a few drinks will be fine, then afterwards I'll go 2 months without it and see what happens. During this time, I'll catch up on the reading that I have to do and get my "to do list" knuckled d...

Its all coming back! :D

Oh Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Remember a month ago I screwed things over a bit with Michelle? After many messages and persuasion, I managed to be "dating her"...I'm not entirely sure what  actually happened... Last Wednesday we had a lunch date...then I asked if she wanted to come with me to look for a new car...I choose to go back to my old place of work (Citroen and Seat dealers), saw a good number of old colleagues and my old manager! We greeted and had a catch up...then they offered me AN ASS KICKING EPIC DEAL... So i bought a car...Seat Ibiza, 1.4litre engine...140 break horse power with a decent 60mpg......in black... Life is pretty sweet just now, (almost) girlfriend and new car...needing a flat to call home :)

Ballocking from the manager...

It was Sunday 1st September... Work usually starts at 12pm on Sunday but because it was the first day of the new reg plates for cars, everyone came into work early. As my colleagues were very busy with delivering cars to their clients on a tight schedule...I was left to do odds and ends such as greeting customers and taking them out for test drives. A couple came into the showroom and wanted to test drive a Seat Ibiza....my mentor told me to grab the company's trade plates and the keys for the requested car. So off I went to grab both items...I've been here for just over a month and know pretty much where things are or where they should be...however...I not able to find the trade plates... What happened earlier was another colleague of mine had done a test drive with a customer and left the trade plates in that car...long story short, he didn't put the keys back onto the board where they're usually kept, I couldn't find them, my manager gave me a ballocking for n...
