17 Nov 06 Another week over

God damm time is flying. It doenst seem like it should be friday, but it is. I wish i wasnt at work tomorrow, but i am. I suppose its my last weekend EVER doing security tho. So thats food for thought. Its quite ironic, i havent yet recieved my SIA licence, and ive already finished working for the company. haha.. i guess i can use it as photographic ID instead of my driving licence from time to time.

Gem is coming to my house tongiht, and i think we are having a night in. I am feeling realy tired at the moment, i hope im not coming down with something? It feels like my body has been trying to be ill for weeks now, but its not quite managed to break through. It just grinds me down and makes me tired instead.

Hopefully when i get home tonight, i should have the new log books and tax disks for my cars - so i can put the plate on my golf, and finally get rid of the clio. Its doing my head in now, i want the £300 to pay a few debts off etc, and to buy some wheels. Yet the wankers at the dvla just plod along and do things at their own speed. People sit and wait for you bastards to process things, and mail them out. For the amount of money you charge, you should at least get things done and sent out as quickly as possible, you bunch of disorganised arseholes!

/rant off
im going now, as its nearly 5pm. I doubt ill get on net over the weekend, so until monday - ttfn!

16 Nov 06 Day 120 - The Ant House

Anty, jim and freddo have been dead now for over a month. Billy was thought to be the only remaining alive ant in the ant house, but over the last few days we have noticed that digger is still alive and kicking. It’s mad to think these two little guys have lived for over 2 months in the confined space of the Ant House.

This is the most recent picture of the ant house, and you can see digger in his tunnel hard at work. Billy tends to wander about trying to find stuff he can sell on eBay - as ants cant have jobs can they! The progression of the ant house inhabitants will continue in another blog post.

I had a call from my bank about some loan review or something. I have had the loan for about 4 years, and ive never had a review before so i wandered down to see what they were on about. I think im gonna borrow a little bit extra, which means i wont be debt free as soon as i had hoped, but to be honest my lifetime plans have changed considerably since meeting a certain someone. Having a bit of extra cash means i can tie up loose ends, pay off little debts and have money to spend at xmas.

I swore id never get any loans or finance again, but this isn’t a new loan its a slight extension of my existing one Anyway i may need to bail myself out of shit if things dont take off as me and dave have planned.

Its becoming increasingly harder to make myself look busy at MMX3. I really am running out of ways to waste time. I have actually started writing guides for everyhitng, cleaning printers, ordering paper, so that the new chap can refer to them if he’s stuck at any time. But like craig said im always on the end of a phone.

Its gettin quite exciting now. I had to tell someone that i was self employed today - for the first time ever! it felt great and when she mentioned things like “well, when your business takes off….”  a smile was brought to my face. The maxxd dreams are becoming reality.

14 Nov 06 Things have changed considerably

SInce i last wrote, quite a few things have changed. We had sorted our differences out with the people we share an office with, but now things have taken a turn for the worst. Things dont look good for the security company, as they have had a few setbacks this week. So its panic stations for them, and we are left in the lurch wondering if we are gonna have an office to work from.

So, me and dave are gonna leave early today and go look for some offices. We have looked for some before, although before we were looking for something with a shop front. Now we dont have to actually display any products or anyhting - we only need a little office somewhere, which means that the costs are lower.

I dont seem to have the time to update my blog as uch as i used to, but im still gonna keep the imortant things documented. Afterall, in a few years im gonna want to print it all off and sell it as my autobiography
My new car is now on the road too, its great. It drives great, I love it!

Ill update more tomorrow. Peace out.

10 Nov 06 What a strange week!

Well.. What a bizarre week! First off monday and tuesday flew by - followed by a wierd wednesday, thursday and friday. But becasue i wasnt aat MMX3 till wednesday, it didnt feel like my week started till then, so it now currently feels like a wednesday, but its actually a friday. That friday feeling has gone, cos my body has no idea what day it is. It is friday isnt it?

I havent had time to check up on my mates blogs either, i love reading about their lives and how they are getting on. With my busy life it means i can stay in touch at my convenience. I know that sounds terribly selfish, but i just dont have the time i’d like to keep in touch with everyone. I think ill make that a new years resolution. To make more time for my mates.

I have a weekend off this weekend, well, i asked for the weekend off to be honest. I kinda wish i could work every weekend at the mo, as i could really do with the money. But i want to spend time with my beautiful girlfriend, so il have to stick to one weekend on, one weekend off.

In preperation for being broke, im slightly increasing my overdraft. I hate doing it, cos its jsut getting further into debt, but i have things i gotta buy this weekend that are important, and expencive.. Like car tax, and transferring my number plate over.. cars are so expencive!

Also, my clio sold for £330.56 on ebay! Im rate happy with that, i expected about half that! There was a right bidding war going off, and in the end the price increased by about £70 in the last 40 seconds! The guy who has won it has no feedback, but i got a message off the person who came second, sayin if the top guy drops out, he’ll pay the winning bid for it. So either way, i havent lost. woo!

Im gonna mince about for half a hour now, as i only get paid for the work i do now. So i have to stay till after 5 or i end up not earning enough money.

Peace out for now guys, ill probably update over weekend if icget chance. If not ill update on monday.

Peace and love.

08 Nov 06 Self Employedness

Well, this week has been a proper week. I did monday tuesday maxxd, its snow wednesday, and im at mmx3, and i will be tomorrow and friday too. This is how my weeks are going to be structured - and already i want to concentrate full time on maxxd stuff. MMX3 just bores me now.

Before, i would sit mincing about making myself look busy, as i was on the books and if there wasnt any work for me to do, then there was nothing i could do. Now, becasue im self employed and am invoicing them for the amount of hours im working, i cant mince about as if there is no work for me to do mark will tell me to go home! I need to work 24 hours at mmx3, at £7.50 a hour. That earns me enough (as well as my 1 shift a week on security) to pay my bills and buy food etc.

If i want to earn more i have to either do more security work (no no!) or do a few extra hours at mmx3 - that is until MMS starts paying us.

Like ive said a million times these next few months are really the deciding months, we are gonna set on a sales employee, and we are gettin someone from the college to work with us - and do admin type stuff. With them, david and myself - we should be able to get things off the ground pretty sharpish.

We need to get things rollin asap, as the office we are using is owned by a proper scitso (sp) who annoys us both, has no idea how to run a business - and is gettin on at (mainly) dave all the time. We cant create our empire in an enviroment like that, so as soon as possible we’ll be gettin a little office of our own.

Wow, i feel all grown up and shit..

Oh yeah, i  paid council tax today.. £104.90! Fuck!
