strange

feeling strange today.....in a good way. optimism and hopes are always high bit i feel particularly excited at the moment. i guess its a combination of things. i am on my course next week and i am really looking forward to it. i know its geeky and kind of sad but its what i am in to and its going to be great learning about new things next week. i will look to take the exam that goes with the course at the end of december or in january.

i am also going to take my windows 2008 upgrade exam around the same time. seeing as work is really quiet at the moment i have been reading up and revising for it this week at work. its good because instead of studying in the evenings after work, i am studying during work which means i can relax in the evening. its how life should be. :-)

i am going to see interpol play this friday evening as well, which should be really good. i hope they play leif erikson and obstacle1 and obstacle2. those are my favourite songs and will be the highlights for me.

i ordered my new bike and i will test ride it next friday and if its all good i will buy it. my legs have lost strength in the last few months since i stopped riding. i can feel it when i play football and at the gym. time to climb that mountain and get back into it especially as we have almost broken the back of this winter. there is still a couple of months of potentially crappy weather but i want to be ready once we get a couple of good weekends.

i got a couple of calls recently about a couple of jobs. nothing definite and no interviews but it gives you a little confidence when you get put forward for roles that i simply would not have been in the running for, had i not grit my teeth and stuck it out in my current job. nothing has come out of it yet but just knowing that i might be in the running is good for ones confidence. also knowing that i am out of my current job on december 29th is good for my mood. i am bored and i have done my time and its time to move on.

thats it really. i still miss my friend. not a day goes past when she doesn't pop into my head at some point whether if its out when i am with my friends or on thursday nights after i get back from football, or when i am on the train or at work. its not making me sad. actaully i like it when she pops into my head and it keeps me company and makes me smile. thats a good thing.

today i have mostly been listening to interpol - leif erikson.
take care wherever you are and whatever you may be doing and always keep smiling babycakes. :-)
