My Oh so Exciting Life....

Well you know the story by now... Helly winning something, made me think I should enter a few more comps to get my prize list up a bit...Here's a list of bits I've won, from what I can remember.

Entering about 20 a week helps.

2008 is here...Going to try and beat 2007's list...2007 had 15 wins...so shouldn't be too hard. Grrrrr!

Sister is going through one of her 'All men are bastards' phases...errr...No, you just fall for their shit, Not all Men are bastards, the majority of women are just stupid, lol...just kidding.

What do you think? Nice Car?

Does anyone actually read this??? Either way hey ho...Get ready for a rant.


For Starters.....the world is full of scum.
Went to the Hospital on Friday and....

• I do have the mutated gene of NF so my kids most probably will get it, but I can have selected embryo inplantation, i.e. testing the embryos and only implant healthy ones, some would say it's playing God. Personally I think it's playing Darwin (Natural Selection, survival of the fittest). Sister had a moan at me about it, trying to explain to her the simple reasons why, she was saying what if you do that and the kid gets down syndrome, will you just kill it? And if it's gonna get it how comes only you (out of the 3 of us) did get it. Trying to explain basic genetics. That not every kid from two parents would be the same, took a while to explain to her that one.
• Hospital also have increased my dosage of Epilim to 800mg twice a day and will be on them for therest of my life.
• Got to have two more brain scans, spine scan.
• Got to be referred to specialist about the fibromas.
• Got to have an annual 24-hour urine test.
• Although I get headaches pretty much everyday, I shouldnt take paracetamol.
• Headaches and seizures probably cuased by lack of sleep, hence I'm gonna be put on sleeping pills, gotta pretty much cut out cheese, chocolate, red wine.
  
• Talking to my Mum about it, the other day as I was feeling a bit down. she just moaned at me "Feeling sorry for yourself wont help" I replied, "Oh yeah sorry my life is great", "Your problem is you haven't got a life"......well thanks Mum.
  
• oh yeah..blood pressure is good though.

Right Rant Over....For Health

• Career...They are changing the department structure...new bloke starting (Same job as me) will be starting on £2000 more than me, when I asked my boss about it, he did nothing. So I went above him to his Boss & HR...they refereed it to my boss, who by the way they are sacking anyway. It turns out they were offering him more becuase he was currently on that anyway (Internal applicant)...he was an autoclave operator (Puts trolley's in a steriliser presses go) been there less than a year. I've been there 6 years as a Validation technician and still being shat on!
• Looking for other jobs, require experience orDrivers License (Which I can't get becuase of rant above).
• Lovelife...as mentioned in an earlier rant, women under 20 see me as too old, women over 25 see me as too young, women 20-25 see me as "Just a Friend".
• Most people who know me, know about the other thing, so I'm not gonna mention that.
• I used to be able to speak to my Bro about things until his gf moved in, but I could still chat when she was at work. Now they are more than likely getting a place, so I wont be able to talk to him pretty much at all.
• No doubt becuase they are moving out my Keep will go up, although I wont be able to move out, be single and having a shite wage doesn't help.
• Scummy Kids...Some prick was outside my house the other night. Digging up lumps of dry mud and smashing them over the path...what utter knobs!
• Last week had a touch of gastroenteritis.
  

Do you ever have one of those days when you think what is the point of anything?

WTF?

Why the hell is it:

Girls Under 20 see me as 'Too Old'
Girls Over 25 see me as 'Too Young'
and Girls 20-25 see me as 'Just a Friend'

Grrrrrr!
