Fuck you Ashley, now I'm gonna have to spend my morning watching Frasier.

Watching vintage SNL. Everyone is so young! Plus Will Ferrell used to be tolerable, who knew?

 

Decided to surprise my mother by going home for mother's day. Due to go back later and she just called and I felt really bad when she said "so what are you up to?" "oh not much..." and when she said she'd just popped out from work I asked what for and she said a card. It'll be fine later obviously but I get the feeling she's going to spend all day at work thinking I've forgotten mother's day. Going here though because it'll be fine later, I plan on buying champagne :p

D'aww, my mum was the same, I sent her a text yesterday telling her to expect some pressies for Sunday and she got really excited and stuffs.

 

It was sweet.

 

Went out with a friend I've not seen in ages, it was awesome. :santa:

Perhaps it was a little bit more positive considering the context of the conversation was her basically begging me to ask her out... She seems a bit crazy though, so I'm thinking its much more likely that I'll be the one doing the "friend-zoning" in this case.

 

 

Yea, definitely not in the friend zone this time.

After several days battling with tesco delivery problems, my food has arrived. I no longer have to scrounge the depths of my cupboards for food and try to make meals out of it. I have enough frozen pizza and noodles to last a long time!

I had my CompTIA A+ exams today

 

...obviously posting this in the "good stuff thread" you've prolly guessed I passed... well you'd be right I FRAKKING PASSED both exams.

 

High scores too which I was really surprised and delighted with.

 

875 points out of 900 on the Essentials

and

862 out of 900 on the Practical

 

5 of us on the course did the exams today (another 5 tomorrow) we all passed :D

 

Bloody chuffed, I'm now a certified A+ IT Technician :D

Which means if any friends or reletives want help with their PCs/Laptops from now on I'll be charging them, haha, can't be giving a Professional service for free anymore :heh:

 

 

Plan to go and do the CompTIA Network+ course next and hopefully get that too and should be nicely set up then to get into a job or maybe try move up further to Server+ (assuming I pass the Network of course)

We don't get our grades back for any of the essays we do at Uni this year as it all just goes towards our degree classification but just got feedback on the essay I did for my cognitive neuroscience module and my lecturer loved it. Thought it was detailed, that I put forward a balanced critical argument for what genes do in attention and was well organised and rated it as 'Excellent'.

 

Obviously don't know how that equates to a grade but that's the top level of feedback he'd say he was giving so it's hopefully a big ol' A which I'm super happy with. A much needed pick me up after the week I've had with my dissertation. Fills me with more confidence in going for a PhD studentship in neuroscience now :D

This isn't exactly good stuff thread, but its stuff and I guess its good.

 

I was in reception at work today, so (not all my cool stuff with me) and the printer/scanner is absolutely diabolical. We do one week on the phones and one week on admin at my work (with phone work too), anyway, and I am on New Accounts (one of the more in depth tasks), so yesterday we had very little in, we thing the Royal Mail fucked up. The past few weeks or so (run up to tax year end) normal number of accounts is about 10 + 10 approximately. Yesterday we received I think 3 or 4 + 10, which was bugger all. Anyway, had some other stuff come in and such, and it was fine blah blah.

 

Well today,.....fucking hell. We had about 40 + 20, then about 5 more came in from different areas throughout the day. With that many accounts, about 10 or more were a pain in the backside because (customers are spastics and don't know how to fill in forms), anyway, I did have help, split it with one guy and a couple of other people opened some, but I was absolutely rammed all day, coupled with the annoying printer which slowed everything down...just...ugh. So annoying. BUT, I did it (worked through my lunch too...and both my breaks) and a couple of the managers said "Well done" etc.

 

Also, my best bud at work got a special (and in frequent) £500 bonus. He is amazing, so deserved it. I am a bit jealous though....its a bit annoying, because when he joined, people getting the bonus just for doing well was commonplace after their probation period...but they don't really do that now. Still I think I might get it....or rather I hope I get it soon, and I truely do think I deserve it, I'm helping people in my team who have been there much longer than me, and I was like...the quickest person to ever be trained on New Accounts admin after phones, always helpful blah blah. And I could really do with the money.

 

But yeah....good stuff.

 

Had a bit of a headache by the time I was finished though. Very happy to be home and relaxing now. Off to Brighton this weekend for Claire and I's 7 year anniversary.
