My new manager is nice...at the moment. I think she'll be nice in general. We had a good chat earlier.

 

She noticed my cup of green tea with the teabag in it.

"What's that?" she asks me.

"Green tea with lemon. It's gross but it's good for your metabolism and helps you lose weight"

"Ah, you're losing weight?" she says. "Me too. Slimming World since January. Lost 4 stone"

"Get out! That's great"

We start talking about our weight-loss journeys and we showed each other our before/after photos. She's lost loads. She said I've done brilliantly by myself.

 

It was an awesome moment. She's been a laugh so far and a bit strict when she needed to be but I'm fine with that balance. Hopefully, it'll stay like that forever! :)

It's taken two years, 4 cancellations, more than I care to think about re-bookings and countless emails, only 6 people and social distancing. But we did it.

So I've been here for a week. Decided to drive out to Abu Dhabi to go to Ferrari World. went on my first roller coaster :D think it was called Fiorano GT Challenge or something. It was a pair of dueling coasters.

Went on another coaster called Fromula Rossa. Fastest in the world apparently, although I was shitting myself to begin with to be honest >_>

Went on a lot of other stuff and pretty much just screwed around for a day. It beats wondering around in 42 degree heat I guess.

Al in all, pretty fun time.

Played Laser Tag for the very first time today. : peace:

 

Let's just say...I'll gladly serve my country if it gets involved in a war.

 

I would die in 30 seconds, though :laughing:

So ... miraculously and against all expectations, I passed my last exam. I now have my BA.

 

Congratulations, man! :D That's awesome news!

My old manager came in my shop the other day (you know, the bitch from the shoe shop who hates my guts). She wanted some Prada perfume and basically, it was labelled wrong and one of the cashiers buzzed me to change it.

 

Fucking great! As if I have to make the perfume cheaper for this bitch! -_-

 

However, I spotted something in the corner of my eye. The same shaped bottle, pretty much the same box and the same price as the one in her hand was meant to be. I told the cashier to serve the others in the queue and I'd tend to her. I stood beside the other one, hoping she'd spot it.

"I'm sorry but I can't change the price" (I could but HELL NAH!)

Luckily, she spotted it. "What about that one?"

I picked it up and I said "That would be a fiver cheaper than the one you have now. It's the latest one too. I know it goes up in price tomorrow" (it didn't).

"Okay, I'll take that one"

I scanned it, took her money and off she went happily.

Cashier looks at me, shocked.

"You just sold her men's aftershave! Does she know?"

"Yeah, I told her" (Obviously I didn't. Once it's opened and sprayed, you can't return it. It's been three days so only 11 days to go, haha) ;)

I passed my final exam. I'm now a qualified accountant ACA! Woo!

 

Hope the exams weren't too taxing. You didn't want to fail those exams, it's accrual world. Besides, you're accountable for your own success.

I met an Egyptian bouncer with the same age and birthday as me a few days ago. The size difference was staggering though.

 

Leave those Egyptian midgets alone Martin. We've talked about this.

This isn’t really 1 ‘Good’ thing happening warranting this post, but more so an ‘Everything is Awesome in 2014’ post.

 

I cannot express how awesome and happy I am currently. I don’t know how this post will go down but here it goes.

 

2014 will always be one of the biggest years in my life as it was the year I finally married the love of my life.

We had a lovely weekend down here in Bournemouth with @Ashley who came to visit. The weekend involved a shit ton of videogames, including kick his arse at Injustice, crying at how bad the multiplayer was on Goldeneye Wii and playing some Brawl. We wandered to the arcades in town, ate some awesome cake, had dinner at Zizzi (tomato and pesto bread hnnnnnnnnngg) and drank cider. Also, doritos.

 

All in all, it was lovely.

Had a great week off last week. Saw friends, had dates, had many drinks, enjoyed the weather, went swimming, went to the cinema, made cake. And then on the weekend:

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Plus on the Sunday morning I woke up, went swimming, into the jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and then checked out of the hotel and went to the beach and lay there for a bit. Super relaxing.

 

Had a great time :)

Just found out that Damien Rice is releasing a new album! Just before my birthday as well.

 

It will be interesting to see what he's like without Lisa Hannigan. I always felt like she provided (almost) as much as he did. I wish she would release a new album.

I feel so relaxed, it's amazing. I was so worked up at my previous job, and then whilst it was great when I left, I always had this niggling worry of WHAT IF. What if I don't get a job anytime soon, what if I spend all my money whilst I don't have a job, what if I have to end up going back into retail anyway....

 

But now I officially have this new job, oh man. Last night I was so relaxed I literally ended up falling asleep fully clothed on my bed at about half 10. I usually don't sleep until 2 or 3, reading and watching stuff to make myself drop off.

 

So yeah, woke up at 6 this morning, got into pj's and slept a bit more :p
