My Job

Well as some of you may know, as of about 4 weeks ago, i have a new job and it's actually a really good job. I work for Severn Trent based down at Monkspth Business Park on their helpdesk solving I.T problems internally within the company. i mean technically i work for a recruitment company called Addecco who employ people for severn trent.

The money is awesome (£7.98 per hour0 and my confidence is growing every day, i mean yes ok i'm still making mistakes but hey at least i'm learning from them.
It has meant that i can continue to pay rent which is a great independence boost and means i can spend money going out with friends and spending trhe rest on ebay woooooo
just thought i would share that

friends

Well as we all know friends come and go, sometimes due to new relationships forming and sometimes just becuase but very few hold on and are the ones we like to call reliable.
I had this expierince when talking to a certain Corinne Wood on sunday morning. Life has not exactly been easy for me recently, the old saying "life has thrown you a curve ball" with me its like ive been stood in front of one of those base ball machines in a batting cage without a bat to swing.
I must admit, some of it has been down to resistance to things like me watching tons of episodes of scrubs in church on sunday morning instead of listening to Paul Miller speak. Rude you may think, maybe your right but why should i sit there and listen to something A) i have no idea what he's on about and B) i really am not interested.
however going back to corinne, well i was stood talking to her on sunday after the service and she seemed to understand everything i was saying to her and not in that "sympathetic, i really could not care less" way but in a genuine "i've been there, i know what your going through". this is where great friends are.
I can pretty much include all of the wood sister's in this catagory, they have been there for me through thick and thing. the same for Mike Simpkins - the phrase "you piss me off sometimes and i don't know what it is about you but i just can't give up on you" - thankyou mike for understanding me, understanding who i am, what i'm feeling etc
and of course mr ben williams - the star of the show. you got me through a lot of hard times whilst i was at uni last year, the phone calls till 6am on skype, the syncronised cheese toastie sessions, the scrubs watching whilst on the phone - brilliant. Another great man who has stuck by me, doesn't always understand my actions but still believes in me no matter what
I'll tell you what, hold on to these people. never let them go. they are more valuable than gold.
