A painfully tepid week...

This week has been one almighty suckfest... its just crawled throughout and I have nothing interesting to report other than being bored out of my skull. My only saving grace is the thoughts of getting drunk tonight and playing some NHL07 with Mike, as otherwise its been pretty mindnumbing.

I seem to have aquired more frees than usual this week, that or time has been slowing down in the ones Ive had as Im quite literally bored of surfing the net. I find myself perusing the same sites over and over in the bleak hope for something interest but to no avail; Im surfing for surfings sake, and I cant really do anything "constructive" on this machine to kill time. I should really start bringing my PSP to kill time...

In any case, Im glad my time teaching is coming to a close... Ive given it a go and you know what, I hate it! I can hear the "I told you so"s now but to be honest I really am not bothered in the slightest. I had to give it a go, if anything just to say Ive done it rather than just dismissing it as "I could never do that" or alike. Some people take a year or so out after graduation seeing the world... Ive spent 2 years clearing my head of the coulda-should-wouldas and now I can look forward to the start of my career.

Whether thats a future in the UK is yet to be seen... it most certainly is for a brief spell at least, but the pursuit of my career is now my number one priority when I get back. Ive been "out of the game (s industry)" for a while now but after some intensive personal training I think Ill be ready to punch above my graduate weight again... I may have even learnt a few new tricks in the process!

I have a few things to chase up on the job front when I get back, and hopefully will have enough money to keep my head above water until I find a "decent" job. Sitting on my arse all day coding has never seemed so appealing until now!!

Im looking forward to seeing friends and family on the 14th or thereafter and will be in the pub before you know it!

Mike wins a million........ won!

Yes, its true... we hit the casino on Sunday night and Mike, the lucky SOAB won just over a million won on the slots. Thats close to $1000, or just under 600GBP at the current exchange rate. He slipped and slided to take the jackpot on one of the slots to will a cool 10,000 credits playing the Seal Slide game (probably my favorite machine in the casino we go to, anyone who knows what the "Jazz Bee" is will know what I mean when I say this is a great feature! Its a Jazz Bee beater in any case!). They brought his winnings in a little plastic container, for which he had to sign for and got a hearty congratulations off the staff!

Other than that there wasnt really much in the way of "new" excitement. We hit the Norebang on the Saturday night after trying the bowling alley in this "city" they call Guri... it had all of 6 lanes and was completely full and we got told to go away. I pulled out "She Bangs" by the olde Ricky Martin amongst others, and Friday night we did some boozing in the apartment playing NHL07. We also sorted our flights out on Saturday, which we get full confirmation of today at some point. All I can say for definate is we'll be home soon!
