Sir Scam-A-lot

So, here's my thing ...

I received a call from 210-249-0540 (TX USA) on my mobile (2nd one today) ...

Indian chap on the phone telling me I have a major virus attack on my PC and he can help!

Told them I had been looking at the 'boobs' again and he caught me out! Danny (the Indian chap) said he can sort my problems out ... I then asked him 'if' he can sort my problems out then how do I get rid of a dead body? He seemed taken back for a brief moment to then said for £90 he would "take care of it for me"

Asked if he gets rid of dead bodies for £90 then what service does he offer for £100 or £200? Danny (whom I feel at this point are building a great friendship foundation together) said he would "help me out in any way possible" 

After a few minutes chatting about weather and the possible infections I decided to tell Danny I was intoxicated by his wonderful broken English and asked if he would be my new bestest friend as my best friend isn't around anymore and would he run away with me ... he asked me why I wanted to run away so I told him I had killed someone but he promised he'd take care of the body for the 90 notes and that I feel bad as I don't have a PC BUT I HAD fallen in love with him.

He then told me to F**K OFF and hung up on me

Was it because I said I loved him?

I had forgotten about this ...

SO 

Here's my thing ... 

I had genuinely forgotten about having a blog till about ten minutes ago (it took me this long to remember log in details lol)

Anyhow, I think I may start blogging again on a regular ... rather semi regular basis 

Granted it will be nothing but utter gibberish but hey, those who know me, KNOW gibberish comes naturally to me lol 

So, granted this is my first blog(ish) in a while but I WILL bring you something soon ... 

Much love and peace 

The Many Faces of Some!

OK, here's my thing.......

I have spent a lot of time thinking about people (no not in that way) but thinking about how they act! As in how they act around you and how they act behind your back!

It annoys me that some people think they're better than you when they forget A, who they are and B, how many skeletons they have in their closet.... Oh if I could put pen to paper - which I suppose I am doing now lol Well I suppose time and karma is a behatch and I will have my day with them where yours truly will have the last laugh :)

.........Peace

I'M ALIVE........... HONEST

Hey peoples how are you? You been missing me? *Insert YES here* lol 


Well anyhow as you may know I am no longer working in the place called 'HELL' - left the back end of May and just kicked it back for a month or two - recharging the batteries n' all that lark!
Well fast forwarding a few months now and I have a brand new shiny job - nice place and I MEAN nice place!  Here is a rundown on the job

• The job can be challenging but highly enjoyable
• The people I work with are very helpful 
• The people there are also down to earth and make to role fun
• I feel a lot happier in myself there (which can't be a bad thing) 
• It's nice to wake up in the morning looking forward to my shift

If I won the lottery this week I would still go into work, yes I just said that, I would STILL work there (OK maybe on reduced hours) I can't believe I never tried to work here before, maybe it was fate - fate to deal with all the crap (and do other peoples jobs when I got nothing in return) while slowly learning and picking up all the things that will help me improve in this job, heck maybe this is where the company I work for will see me as an asset rather than an ass to be exploited! 

But back to the job - I seem to have been accepted by my team, my manager is really good too (whats going on? A good manager who would rather help you achieve rather then help people put knives in your back - trust me kiddies, people like that are out there) and other people on the floor are starting to get to know me as a funny guy, which to be fair is true lol 

Well that's enough for now, will promise to make sure I blog at least once a week :) 

Past Friends

OK here's my thing

Just found out another one of my 'friends' I grew up with has gotten married on Saturday - so that's now 3 weddings I have missed (OK 1 of which was my choice but looking back maybe I was a little stubborn)

Anyhow, back to what I was saying - Missing out on another friends wedding, it kind of sucks, well it actually really sucks that when I think about it I had known these people (we'll call them, um John, Marc and Jim) for better parts of 20 years...

(Should really warn you now that this blog wont have much structure, it's more of an account of what's going on in my head right now)

'John' seemed to just stop talking to me for some reason (I think it was sometime in 2006 this happened) the rumours were....
1, his wife (we'll call her Lacey) didn't like me as I stood up to her!
2, I didn't have the right 'image' to fit in with them
3, I slagged her off in some email (something I wouldn't do - people who know me, knows fine well I would say anything to their faces)
4, I used to 'ditch' them for college friends......... truth is they went out to Whitley Bay... I hated Whitley Bay, but when they went to Tynemouth/Town I was always there (or at least when invited)
5, I didn't go on holiday with them (1, I hate the heat and they were in a hot country and 2, I have a fear of flying)
6, there was a big blow out on this holiday and I ended taking up sides with Jim (which is bollocks as I told Jim and his wife to be that it had nothing to do with me, you're all my mates and I am not taking sides!)

All piss poor reasons.... Right? I remember something John said to me years ago (when Lacey threw a strop and wandered off alone - I did the right thing and acted as a chaperone just to make sure she was safe) anyways he said "We'd never fall out!"......... Never fall out, WTF! Has the past 5 years been a dream?
There is another friend in this group (we'll call him Cy) anyhow Cy passed some arsey comment to Lacey and she stopped talking to him, she forgot what the comment was but regardless she stopped talking to him! So if it is no:3 then again WTF why could shoulder me and not Cy?

Well on to Jim, OK I admit this I was a little stubborn about this - Story goes, Jim (most likely in response to John having Marc as his best man) asked me to be his best man at his wedding - I was over the moon at being asked even though I know I was only asked due to the 'spat' between Jim and John.  (Background history here, it was always me and John, Marc and Jim not the other way round)
But anyhow, I was proud I had been asked to be his best man.  Fast forward to his stag do, it was a fairly quiet night, nothing crazy (they're not the type of people to do sill dares etc) we couldn't have the groom being sober so I was feeding him Guiness and Vodka chasers (I admit I was going to get him mortal drunk, drunker than he has ever been before) So we end up back in Tynemouth and I walk into a family friend Steve (he's looked out for me ever since I started going out) and he bought Jim a drink for his night of freedom - THIS is where the night got shitty........

Jim decided that Steve (who had seen us out loads of times together in the past) was someone his father hated! Jim started getting nasty and turned from fun loving drunk into utter psycho lunatic saying Steve was an arsehole etc - Steve is someone you don't say that to as he would likely kill you but luckily for Jim, Steve was willing to let it ride for my sake! Marc managed to get Jim outside and this is where it got insane, Jim turned on me... ME the person who had been there for him, put up with him and even gave him advice on how to have a good relationship with his wife - As I was walking away Jim decided to jump on my back, I saw red and went for him...... this is where my mate Dan (who is a sound kid and glad I can count him among my friends) took a run and practically gored me away from Jim (6ft2 & 20 stone vs 5ft6 & 10 stone - if it wasn't so serious I would have found this hilarious) we left in separate taxis etc

So 5 years later I have finally calmed down and regret not talking to Jim in the days/weeks after his stag night - if I had accepted his apologies rather than letting my anger over John not talking to me, chances are I wouldn't be writing this blog now!

Jim if you're reading this; and I hope you are..... I am sorry - I know that wont change much for letting you down but I am - Also sorry for subjecting you to Marc's poor speech, you SO knew yours truly would have owned you with the best man speech :)

So onto Marc, although not going to his wedding bothered me as much as not going to the other 2 but when I found out something just clicked, like a light bulb went of in my head - 3 great friendships gone over what can be described as 'emotional stupidity' - We grew so close to let something so dumb part us all like this!

John, if you're reading this, I am sorry also... for whatever I am supposed to have done but I AM sorry.  I keep thinking about that day at school we were about 16, you had a stinker of a game for the school football team, everyone slagging you off and there was me sticking up for you.... one more wise crack short of getting my arse handed to me haha...... I still remember you telling me that you were there listening to me stick up for you - I never knew till that day you knew about it!  Truth is John, I think what I am trying to say is even though there has been a good few years of not talking, I have and always will have your back! (I so wanted to say, "I have and always will be your friend" but Spock used that in 'The Wrath of Khan')

Ideal world, the past few years to be put behind us all so we can continue with our friendship..... ALL of us - When I win the lotto, I still intend on keeping the promises I made!

Perhaps someday, we'll all be sitting together, looking back and thinking...... "Why did we all waste so much time on trivial stupid things like arguments"

Random thought(s)

Here's my thing


1, I should blog more and.........


2, I SO want to wave a huge foam finger around right now for some reason..... so here you go!!

Back and Back again

To Whom it may concern

WHY? Seriously why the **** are you doing this to me, have I done something to piss you off? Will you give me a break from the pain & talking time off or at least not so much during working hours!

Maybe I should build a time machine so I can go back in time to the day before 'it' happened and give that cretin a damn good kicking...... yes, YES time machine it is mwahahahaha (Should have had a white cat to stroke)

And yes I have taken my medication - which is why last night I was dreaming about being James Bond... the Geordie version of him, less suave & not as classy lol

This is going to be a long long day

Work

Well work called today wanting to book in a 'Home Visit' - even though I have only been off just on 2 weeks!

I'm off with problems linked to my back, loss of feeling in my leg etc - I bet you ANYTHING they will ask the 'age-old-pointless-question' "is there anything we can do to help/speed your recovery up"

I am shaking my head at the thought!

Well.....

......Insomnia kicked me in the balls again last night/this morning - went to bed at 1am and was awake from 4am!

No idea why, well I do know why - I have been feeling so unattached to things as of late, family, friends, life etc Hell even Football Manager bores me.  I also feel I am being set up to fail at work, we get so much shit to make sure we maintain our stats or we get warning which can lead to dismissals - I now have been told I have to complete pointless offline tasks which will basically mean if I have a poor day with calls I am fucked that week ergo on the 'process' to be fucked over!  Add stress to this and hey presto I feel even more of a failure in life and waste of space!  Maybe I should do every one a favor.....

On a separate note I think (well hope) the injections in my back have worn off - getting major stiffness and pain again in the morning, now having to set my alarm for 30-45 minutes earlier to get myself mobile.  The meds are not even touching the pain, I should tell the doc but I don't really want to go through another load of 'tests' to see if the meds are doing other things inside

There are times I really wish I didn't wake up in the morning.....

It's been a couple of months........

.....since my last blog update - Must remember to update this daily
Well nothing much has changed as of late, still groundhog day it's getting more and more obvious that there is a mentality of 'if your face fits' - this has been commented on even by those in power!
With any luck my numbers will come up on the lotto and I can dress like a Power Ranger...........

Who Said Romance Is Dead

My girlfriend said this to me the other day,

"Your the most annoying man I have ever come across and I hate you in a lovable irritating way grrrrrrrrr"

Just needed to share this :)

Mo Money Mo Problems??

Whoever said this want's SHOT...... oh wait he did (oops)

Anyhow, been a while since posting here and nothing much has really bugged me (apart from not getting paid - some silly cow decided to deduct a whole months wages off me - took my manager about 25 minutes to sort out)

Anyhow, to my point - why can't I win the lottery? Over the past 5 weeks we have had EVERY number drawn in the lottery draws but all on separate lines, maybe this is a sign to say I am going to finally line them all up and win the whole ruddy lot............ fingers crossed!

So I shall leave you with a quote from one of my favourite films.....

"Oh, dear Lord. You made many many poor people. I realize, of course, it's no shame to be poor... but it's no great honor either. So what would be so terrible... if I had a small fortune?"

Chilean Miners

You know these Chilean miners have been down there for 69 days - why isn't it not one of them came up a, looking frail/gaunt/starving? None of them came up looking dirty and not one of them came up looking like 'Sméagol' from Lord of the Rings

Also did you see how sheepish that Yonni Barrios was - this guy has not only had to endure 69 days underground (trying not to think about the toilet habits down there) but now has the prospect of facing up to his wife......... and mistress!  I feel for him as the only hole he is going to get.... well he just left it ;)

"Oh hello Hell, this looks like a nice seat"

Losing the will to live....

..... during my working day is starting to become an all too frequent visitor I don't need!
Was in a forum meeting thing today - that was fun! (NOT)

Mind while listening to company propaganda I thought to myself was this the way the Nazi's recruited in the 30's? We ended up having a rant at this wife about money, shifts, incentives etc and the wife said she will take them on board - Mark my following words - NOTHING WILL HAPPEN!!!

That is all!

So....

......another day of the groundhog!
Everything seems the same these days hatred and joy become one! You get one high and 4 lows!

Just reading some study where they say a serial killers roots can be tracked down to their childhood - wonder if Dhamer/West/Jack the Ripper/Onoprienko/Lopez ever worked in a call center??

I was however mildly amused at the guy who's computer and work was lost due to him clicking 'Next'

Déjà F'N Vu

Well once again it seems it's groundhog day in my life and once again I seem to be looked over for progression!  Playing to peoples strengths is what 'they' will say and "your strengths lay in other places" - well if I am not given the chance then how the merry hell am I going to improve???

Is it 'their' way of trying to push me out or is it 'their' way of trying to piss me off?

Working hard gets you nowhere, kissing ass on the other hand...... well that's for another time and another place!

Maybe it's time to look elsewhere.........

People....

....annoy me!
Why? Seriously why do people think they can walk into you and NOT say sorry!

Was doing some shopping the other day when some dumb cow tried to take my shoulder off when storming past me, well I decided to speak up (I mean the size of me and people CAN'T see me)

Anyhow this dumb cow has sadly bred and her daughter, well she looked like a rhino with foundation was behind me.  So Rhino Girl walks past me, tuts and gives yours truly a dirty look then goes to tell the dozy cow who nearly took my shoulder off who has the audacity to call me a 'Knob Head' - mind when I got a look at the mother HOLY SHIT..... you would need more than beer goggles to breed with her - but i shouted back at 'it' which I can only assume intimidated them as they ran off

Anyways back to my rant, Christmas is coming....... so if you have come across this blog and are reading this when online please stay the F**K away from me if you see me!

That is all......

FIFA11

Well so far I have clocked up 9 hours on it since midnight last night!
Head hurts = Check
Eyes ache = Check
Onset of arthritis = Check
Neck/Shoulders stiff = Check

Gotta love the missus 

Well....

.......it was another quiet day today - LONG may it continue!

Still using the same attitude of 'Noli Illegitimi Carborundum' and deciding on who to manage when I get the new Football Manager!

Back to.......

.....work tomorrow! Not looking forward to it but hey you have to face the music from time to time.  Wonder what will be said, well more what has been said since I have been off!  The cynic in me believes there'll have been something said in my time off - maybe I have declared war on the cleaning staff or I am going to go postal if I get a terrible tasting Kit Kat lol

Fingers crossed it will go over quickly
