at work...

my journal entries get more boring and mundane as each day go's by in the real world...

well its still snowing!!!

im sat at my desk thinkin of ways to waste my day without doing any work! so i guess writin some text for my journal will do for now! and post later! haha my boss is so bad with computers, he called me to his office just now and asked me to show him how to rearrange text on a word document! well as u all know thats about the most simple task ever hehe! i showed him twice how to cut and paste text about the page and i know he still dosent get it! it makes me laugh so much when i hear him talkin to clients on the phone about CAD programs and he tries to make it sound like he knows wot hes talkin about, but its obvious he hasnt got the first clue :D poor pops still stuck in his old ways ...u cant teach an old dog new tricks, well not when the dogs unwilling to learn! oww oww oww !!! construction industry standard requires everything to be drawn on CAD now so its a good job i do all the drawing work, sketching on a piece of A3 paper with ya set square and a pencil just dosent make the grade anymore :P when i first worked here we didnt have any pc's and i used to enjoy drawing on acetate in ink, u could put some kind of personal touch to your work, i guess it could be called a form of art ...but now the drawings my computer produces have no personality!

*drools* now im eating my breakfast, i really missed a good english breakfast while i was in bkk! fried bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms and beans yummy :D all served from a polystyrene tray hehe ...i went to the bacon van parked round the corner and they had me changin the gas bottles for them lol the girls who work there aint strong enough to undo the valve on the old bottle or lift the new bottle up onto its stand! so being the good samaritan that i am *ahem* i was more then happy to help :) ...damnit my colleague wayne has arranged an appointment for me and him to see a rep from a steel company! thanks for tellin me 30 seconds before he walked in the door wayne! im tryin to write and eat and i got a guy tryin to sell me steel at the same time! i hate rep's cos at the end of the day its my boss who decides where we should buy materials from! lol i work with a bunch of unorganised twats!

after work...

when i was in thailand i surprised one of my friends by turning up at her

workplace unannounced :P she was too shy to arrange to meet me! i'll never forget the look on her face when she turned round and saw me sat there! ...i thought she was gonna fall over and die hehe! i think her supervisor had a "thing" for me too, it was the way she kept calling my friend and askin to talk to me that gave it away lol ...well anyway my friend told me yesterday that since i went there and saw her boss and supervisor, her boss has offered to pay for her and her colleague to have english tuition! i dont see how i helped but she is sure that it is cos of me that he offered to do this! she wouldnt stop thanking

me but i cant see wot i did hehe! anyway they have been given about 50000baht for the tuition fees! glad i could be of help without even knowing it :):):)

does anyone really care how i punctuate and spell in my journal entries?

anyone who can be bothered to write to me and moan about my spelling and punctuation has far too much time on their hands!

i dunno how i attract dumb ass messages like this????

seems this guy doesnt like the way i write.....sorry mate!

i call it colloquial journal writing! (as in i write as the words are spoken)

heres his lovely message >>>>>>>>>>>>>

____________________________________________

Your = You're

Cant = Can't

Dont = Don't

U = You

Ive = I've

(Not to mention your creative use of punctuation.)

I'm glad to hear you had too much fun and drank a lot in Thailand. I've never heard of anyone doing that before. You must feel like Neil freaking Armstrong.

Take care.

PS - Should you need it, I'm always happy to proofread.

Kip, I could modify your CAD program so it has more *personality*...how would you like that? :-)

Kip doing correct spelling? Naaah, Kip would not be the same...let's say correct spelling doesn't fit to you...about the same if you were dressed in a fcuking suit... :-)
