productive

work is busy as it has been since i started there, but the only difference now is that i am productive and so its not as frustrating. i didnt like it before when i wasnt achieving anything but its a bit better now. i still would rather have a more interesting job where i could learn something but this is fine for the meantime. they treat me well and they pay well. i really dont have it bad at the moment and we have gotten through those painful first few weeks. 


saying that i had a couple of calls about some jobs that might be going at other places. will see how they go. a couple of them sound really good but i dont have the pressure of not being in work and feeling like i have to land one of them. 


the other guy is still working from home. it means as i am the only face in the office, everyone comes to me when they have a problem. i really have no idea what he is doing at home but thats up to him i guess. personally i think it doesnt give a good impression when you are negotiating and trying to justify a higher rate but hey, thats just me and what the fuck do i know. 


have told the guys i wont be playing football this week. weather is supposed to be lame like its been for the last couple of weeks and i dont like playing in the cold and rain and i havent been enjoying it recently so i think i will go to the gym instead. i can get a good work out and get home early for once on a thursday and can be fresh on friday morning. 


bought a new book about cambodia and pol pot. have almost finished reading my book about the FARC, and this will be next. 


read on a forum that hertz will be getting silver mustangs with black racing stripes on them this summer. i had a blue one with a white stripe when i went cali in january. am definitely going to get the silver and black one when i go in september. 


today i have mostly been listening to paul thomas saunders - a lunar veterans guide to re-entry. good tune. enjoy.
