Feelungs about a new bike

I have been looking at new bikes quite a bit in the lady few days.

It struck me yesterday that I have all the kit already. What I do not have is the get up and go to actually ride my bike on a tour.

Success!

A while ago I tried to get my bluetooth remote control to work. Wasnthaving any of it!

Last night I tried again.....and got it working!

Sense ofachievement quite high!

Yesterday on the bike

Took day off work yesterday and spent some time riding taylor.

Only covered 40 odd miles but very much enjoyed it.

Went to three motorcycle dealerships.

Almost dropped taylor outside rainbow.

Went to halfords to get some cleaning stuff. Taulors battery died outside...so I went in and bought a new one. Then fitted the battery in the car park!

Got home.

Perved at twins.

Cleaned chain and relubed (was looking terrible earlier in the day....rusted to fuck).

kobo self publushing

Maybe one day


difficult to talk

I find it very difficult to talk to people without making myself sound like a tit......


I have tried to treat 'every conversation like a job interview' but I'm just not very good at it. However, I am fairly good at takung a decision and then stickung to it....particularly if it is stopping myself doing something. Therefore, I plan the following:


1. Now vow of silence

2. People wong get your words

3. Count to 5 before talking


sunday with tim

1. As technical as ever need to be

2. Need to be better package manager

3. Need to be more like ben

4. To become pm need to get on tge right job eg prison houseblock

5. Aim to be con man over next two years

6. Give consistent message. Tell tim never work with jason again....told gareth best team ever worked for.....provoked tim to give some fatherly advice......this is not a good place to be.


Start writing cv tonight.


Do I have the ballsgo resign?

lifestyle choices

A short while sgo I made the conscience decision to change my lifestyle in two ways:


1. No chomping on cheese after work

2. No automatically drinking beer on a work night


This has been a success. I now eat far less cheese and dont reach for a beer as soon as I walk into the house after work.


I now wish to extend this approach and adopt some further changes to my lifestyle. I come up with the following list:


1. Learn to enjoy food more

2. Stop swearing altogether

3. Do not be outspoken ie treat every coversation like it is a job interview / speak less in work (you sre currently the office dickhead)

4. Adopt 5-10 mins of exercise each morning (eg 50 leg raises on the stairs)


From tomorrow onwards I will integrate these changes into my lifestyle.


evening poo

1. Bought new suit today

2. Cant decide on a filofax

3. Ate chips and curry twice today

4. Definately getting fatter

5. Havnt done any studying in a few days

6. Walked the dog this evening

7. Sat in grandads for 1st time in years

8. Bought gillette thermal facial scrub

9. Booked hair appointment with kayleigh

10. This has been a very good few days off work

£250 bag

Just spent £250 of wedding money on a briggs and riley bag. Just the right thing for my mba studies (and lunch!)


turn around

Earlier this week I was feeling very down

I have no psid £ 1000 to the ou

Got myself £3000 in debt with ou

Got my first text book delivered

Now I'm feeling pretty good

Next challenge has been set

For thr first time in 9 years I will not be studying engineering / construction


it begins.....

this week

Started off very badly.....but feeling much better now. I'll be much happier when studying for my mba. It will give me a place to 'escape' to (ie alpha moment) away from the manotemy of everyday construction site life. Give me the feeling that something else, better, is available outside and above what I'm doing now.

3. Diary of a uboat commander annonymous. Good read, interesting twist with his bird and a crap end to his career.

4. Freakanomics, cant remember. Read in a day. Good book, very american...everything is discussed in terms of black and white
