summer for the last few days

well i used to bitch about my job but i can't do that anymore. it would be ungrateful, disingenous and petty to do so now, when things are actually ok. then i started bitching about the weather all the time, but you know what?...the weather has been fantastic for the last few days. perfect weather. 25C, nice breeze, clear blue skies and warm sunshine. cycled to the gym on the weekend and it was beautiful. also the gym was empty both days as well. i don't suppose people want to be indoors at the gym on sunny days. understandable. 

i went out on friday night in clerkenwell to see a couple of people from the internet company i used to work at. hadn't seen them in a couple of months and it was good to catch up. i miss the social aspect of work. i pretty much keep myself to myself at my current job. sad but true. 

during the evening i got talking to a new guy there who is a student at uni and is on a work placement for a few months and who is working in the tech team and his boss is idiot-techboss. without any prompting i asked him how it was going and how he liked working with techboss, to which he replied, techboss knows nothing and is useless. ha ha ha!!!. some peoples ineptitude is obvious to almost everyone (although not the MD). i said it before and i will say it again.....everyone gets found out in the end. 

i missed football last thursday and it seems one of the guys got injured. i saw a pic of his ankle that got sent round and it was swollen and purple with bruising. it looks quite bad. thank god i have never been badly injured ever. about 3 years ago a friend of mine was playing for his sunday team and snapped his ankle. he had to have a couple of operations and had a metal pin inserted in it. (UPDATE) turns out my friend fractured his ankle. he is out for a few weeks. ouch!!. 

the gods have smiled on me and with the exception of a couple of thigh strains and one time when i hurt my foot quite badly, i have avoided anything that would have kept me from playing for more than a couple of weeks. considering the fact that i have played football since i was 4 for various school teams, work teams, every summer with friends and now once a week, i think i have been very lucky.

anyways, i don't know if we are going to get to play football for the next few weeks. one of the guys is injured and another friend is going home to ireland for a couple of weeks. we may not get to play in this nice weather. 

work has been quiet today. just been getting on with some things. its the first day of the month so i had to do some of my accounts and timesheets, so glad it was a quiet day and i could get it all done, as opposed to doing it tonight when i get home. 

anyways, thats all folks. its june. it looks and feels like summer. lets hope it lasts for a while. 

take care V. 

today i have mostly been listening to TI feat Rihanna - live your life.
