It's Britney Bitch...

Sunday, 16. November 2008, 16:16:08

Pub, food, Britney Spears, Britney ...

Well this weekend has been one of mixed emotions really. Jon came back from Ireland on Friday which was nice, although we did have a little argument over very silly things. The same night we had to go out for dinner for his cousins birthday. It wasn't all that great as I was ignored by pretty much everyone the entire night - But that's another story - I'll update on that part in a friends only post). If I didn't have my iPhone, I would have been awfully bored. I wasn't happy when I got home at all...

Last night Jon and I went to a great Brazilian restaurant that's in the O2. The food there is amazing. There are guys that walk around with different cuts of meat and slice what you want on to your plate. I have to say, I was very greedy, I was certainly going to get my moneys worth ;-) and I suuuurrreee did! he he... After dinner, we went to the pub and had a couple of drinks. It was great fun as in the room next door, they were having a pirate party and the music they were playing was great - Cheesy but great! Jon and I had the room to ourselves so I was up dancing to the songs :-) It was great fun!

Today I haven't been doing a great deal to be honest. Twittering mainly... as always. Might do a review on Opera Mini 4.2 Beta for Berrytastic tonight. All good words to say as always about my beloved Opera!!!

I have to say, my highlight todays was watching Britney from the beginning (music videos from start to end) - I then downloaded all the tunes :-) (FACT: I am actually baring Britney whilst I write this - I am sure I am not supposed to admit these things!!!)

Hoping everyone else is having a good weekend...

A Productive Day

Twitterfon, work, CV, Tweetie ...

Well, I have finally managed to motivate myself. It's taken a little longer than usual, but I am pleased to say the motivation has finally come! Yesterday I applied for loads of different jobs as well as emailing all of my agencies and registering on job sites. Today I have re-written my CV which I am rather happy with. I have also bought a domain name to create an online CV too... A friend of mine is helping me design it. I am super excited. In fact, we have the design, it's now a case of putting online

In other news, I have a temp role starting tomorrow for a week. Despite the money not being great, it's something, so I am a little happier that I will have some money coming in next Friday and the following Friday. I really hope all of my hard work pays off. I just need to keep on top of my agencies - annoy them so much they will just want to place me to get me off their backs lol.

You may remember a while back I had just bought an iPhone. I am still loving it and have recently downloaded a new twitter client called Twitterfon which I think is great! There are a few bugs that need ironing out, but most apps on the iPhone are in the same boat. If they can just sort out the small issues, they could be streets ahead of any other free Twitter app. A lot of people are talking about Tweetie, I have to admit, it sounds pretty awesome - Lets hope it doesn't dissappoint as I do love Twittering!!! If you are on Twitter, add me Swannny

Thank you to all of my friends out there for their kind messages on my 'come back' post. I have missed a lot of you, but I can assure you, I am back...

Goodnight Operaland

Unemployed and Unhappy...

Tuesday, 11. November 2008, 12:25:08

Well... I think the title pretty much says all. My temp role came to an end over a week ago. I am yet again unemployed and in turn, that's making me really unhappy. My ideal job would be to get involved in some kind of community work such as Opera's community. It's my ideal job, but there's NOTHING out there :-( I don't really know where to start looking either.

Friends and Family have all thought that a QA job would suit me as I love my gadgets/ tech stuff/ internet etc and I always test things to the limits. I do this on a voluntary basis for a few sites - Strands and Nimbuzz to name a couple. But unfortunately there is not very much out there

Not in the UK anyway - every company I seem to help are either in mainland Europe or mainly the US

Oh well - As always I try to remain positive. I am a hard worker and always try to put a bit of imagination into my jobs. Coming up with ideas, organising events and training myself up as much as I can. I called some number today to find out more information about doing an IT Web developement course. So I am going to follow upon that today I think.

I really need to find motivation from somewhere - If I don't try, I won't get. So it's time to stop moaping I think and start doing!!!

Back once again...

blogging, fb, opera, Back

I have had my blog on here for many years now. I've met some very good friends and although I haven't blogged here for a while, I still speak to them regularly and it really amazes me. My current temp job has come to an end and yet again I find myself out of a job. It's a real pain. I have had all week to do a lot of thinking as I have had so much time on my hands, and whilst 'bumming' around, thinking about friends, life, work etc I realised that the one time of my life that I really enjoyed was when I was really into my Opera Blog and doing bits and bobs from Opera. I have never really found anything to fill that since then - It's kinda sad.

Anyway, that's the reason why I am back. it's time to keep blogging here. it's my blogging home and no matter where else I go, I will always keep coming back here. I have missed reading my friends blogs and I have missed the guys at Opera. I'm back...
