Spent the night in the spare room as Jamie was snoring like a train. Previous night we both had a tickle in our throats. I jammed about thirty quids worth of chemicals up my nose and Jamie did nothing. Today I’m fine and Jamie has a stinking cold. Colds are beatable, you just have to time it right. Didn’t manage to get a paper yesterday so got out of bed fairly early. Walked Sasha and then headed into town. Nothing memorable button the way back I was standing around twitting with my phone and a homeless guy came up to me, I thought he was about to ask for money but no…..’Alright mate’, then he offered me his can of Special Brew, do I really look that bad? Stopped off at B&Q, bought paint, bedroom is going to be a sort of piss yellow white. On the way out of B&Q carpark I managed to completely twat a bollard in the middle of the road that I just didn’t see at all, all I heard was a scraping and the car flying into the air. Thankfully apart from the plastic bumper thing that’s far too low and now has another scrape out of it, it’s built like a tank, so took it all very much in its stride. Mind you I was only doing about ten mile an hour and it probably thought it was just another speed bump. Not that cars can think, pretty much like the driver at the time. So another night in the spare room as Jamie starts working at 4AM. I’ve even changed the sheets in there. I’ll be in there again tomorrow as well, not just because Jamie will sound like a stomach and flu ward, but it will stink of paint.

Spent most of the day looking at gravel, which was a fantastic use of my time. That was after I looked at snow and dirt. It’s been bloody cold today, I mean freezing. Plus I’ve had a really bad headache all day. Went for a walk early evening to clear my head. Then had a very interesting chat with a chap on sort of Skype but not. My knowledge of HDR processing came in handy, plus my ability to debug multiple threads. Just wait now to see if they want to reach out.

Been somewhat disappointed that even after popping all these herbal sleeping pills I’ve been unable to bang Adam Rickitt or even have tea with Margaret Thatcher. The good news is those I have been sleeping pretty well. It is February after all, and we all not what happens in February (see January for boring people). Also started on Dexter season seven, shame I’m going to finish the complete lot by the end of February, still, makes up for lack of dreams.

So we were on the plane to LAX, but it suddenly got diverted to India. That was fine as both Jamie and I were given jobs at an office in the airport. Jamie was getting stuck into his the other side of a glass partition. I was getting very frustrated as I kept doing typing errors but instead of being able to delete them lots of Indian text kept appearing. Anyway a chap turned up and said I just had to highlight it all with ‘q’ and then delete it with ‘p’. We then went out to lunch. Neither of our phones could pick up a signal so no one knew where we were. We went to get back into the airport but were stopped by security, they were chucking everyone out. They were shouting that a space alien had got through immigration. We could see it in the corner of the ceiling. I sent Dillon up to check it out. He said it wasn’t a space alien but some sort of bear.

I’ll take some more of those sleeping pills tonight, haven’t had that vivid a dream since I was tossing off Keith Lemon and the Saturdays.

Spent the bulk of the day working on a weird oddity to do with infinity. Solved it in the end but spent hours and hours again just building data. Had a good moan at one of the managers. Walked Sasha. Went for a run. Now in idle mode, could go either way. Just wrote a shell sort in an online c compiler just for fun.

Bit of an odd day. Spent it all on Xbox One. Most of it trying to get it to run. It has a very interesting issue with overflows turning to qnan’s. Walked Sasha, it stayed dry just. Walked to the gym, it didn’t, did Combat and walked home. Annoyed as I forgot my towel so had to take a shower at home. Still wondering about everything. What decisions I should make, what direction I should go, I really don’t know any more. But in better news the iMac’s will indeed run on 110V.

Woke up in the spare room, then realised I was actually in there by choice as Jamie was on one of his stupidly early shifts. I’ve got quite used to sleeping in there now and it actually works quite well for both of us. There is nothing wrong with our relationship at all, but if we wake each other up at odd times of the night it really isn’t great, so we have a bit of an arrangement that if he needs to be up in the middle of the night and I haven’t finished watching David Dickinson then I sleep in the spare room. He snores like a train and I pee like a hosepipe, it works, we’ve been together so long that we can accept this. It just makes us appreciate the time we do spend together in bed a bit more.

So anyway, after I transported back to the main bedroom I didn’t get up until late it must be said. Walked Sasha, it was raining, quite annoying, but we still managed a good two hours. Are little route through the industrial estate has been blocked off, quite annoying.

Came back, Jamie was now home after completing an eight hour shift. I started on sealing the marble in the bathroom, needs to be done once a year. Took me over two hours to clean it all and finally seal it. It’s all a bit nasty, really the sink needs replacing, toothpaste is an awful acid.

Then got on with sanding the bedroom walls. All ready for a general sanding and then applying a mist coat. Ready for the main painting then.

Sat down and did the accounts. Got an email. ‘Good news’. Apparently I’m not as shit as I think I am. More telephone conversations next week. Lets see where it all leads to.

I did have a thought though. If none of it goes anywhere. I’ve decided what I’m going to do, and it has fuck all to do with programming or computers. I’m going to buy a house, yes another one.

Woke up this morning feeling somewhat horny. So had coffee and read the paper. It didn’t subside. So I did something I usually only do on very special occasions. Still it was fun and lots of lubricant was used. I walked Sasha and then headed into town. Failed to buy anything. Came back and downloaded a game I didn’t want to perform some tests on it. It was the fastest expense claim I’ve ever filed. Plus I also filed another expense claim to a large multi-national, who I still haven’t heard from incidentally. DIY planned for tomorrow.

Spent the day on shadows again. Basically I’ve taken them as far as my expertise goes, if you want more you’ll need a shadow expert. Good luck on finding one of those. I will not be bullied into pissing infinite time into something I don’t know fuck all about and quite frankly don’t want to know fuck all about.

Apart from that, walked Sasha. Walked to the gym in the rain and did Pump, walked home and worked too many fucking hours.
