Kathryn’s Blog

I meant to post yesterday but no biggie eh?

So the saga continues. On the site that updates, I got a reply to a pointless comment but not to my original mail message. by text I got a “wtf are you on about” reply to a pointless text (so I guess the number hasn’t changed then) and then no reply to the 2 other messages. someone is getting a phone call at about 7.30 tonight.

Anyways – went to the DR to get the BP checked (last went in November and was told to come back in 6 months). Had that health check thing back in September and it was 132/94. Went to the Drs and it was 144/86 2 months later it was 134/86 and now it’s down to 120/80 which is basically the max of fine. Have to to back tomorrow for some blood tests though

Yeah okay so apparently he says “how would you suggest I clear my work apart from actually sitting down and doing it”.

Um how about trying to sit down and do it!? Stop arsing about with phone calls about private business and 2 hour lunches. She informed us that she “didn’t have the swingers” to actually say that.

Fair enough!

is it very sad that I’m excited that tonight Doctor Who is on and I’m having a chinese takeway? Well of course it’s sad but just how sad eh?

Apparently there’s a rumour that (soon to be ex) Prime Minister Tony Blair was going to appear in Doctor Who along side Kylie Minogue (WTF?)

So of course someone has taken the opporunity to play with paint shop!

Heyhey it’s Friday!

and no overtime so I get a nice lovely lie in….hurrah!

I did plan to try and update this daily but …...ah well this is why I don’t make New Years resolutions.

I’ve had to lock comments to the Everybody’s gone to War post as it was just getting constant spam. So it can bounce back now. Sorry if any one wanted to comment.

So I emailed a friend today and managed to get some stuff off my chest about another friend which was good, but I thought I’d express some of it here because it really is kind of cathartic. (You know I thought I’d make sure I’d spelt cathartic right and I’m kind of surprised at it’s meaning Cathartic.

Have you ever felt as if a friend was dumping you? Well my friend (who we’re calling) Steve has another friend (who we’re calling) Bob. Bob and I don’t really know each other but he seems like a nice enough person. Now I don’t mind Steve having other friends, I’m not a weird possessive freak, but for a while I’ve been feeling ever so excluded.

Steve and I used to go to the cinema a lot and (s)he’d come to the weekly pub quiz every week. However for the past wee while not so much and now every time we meet up Bob is there. Again thats fine but unfortunately they’re either talking about things they’ve done or previous discussions that I’ve not been part of. Sometimes I just feel ignored.

Comments have also been made such as “Bob and I went to the pub to celebrate my graduation”. Hurrah! Why didn’t you ask me. Or we went to the cinema and Bob made a comment which suggested he and Steve had already been to a premiere at another cinema. Which makes me feel that Steve is just doing his(her) duty by seeing the same film twice and again would it really kill you to have asked me?

Now I’ve found out Steve is off to London. Whether it’s with Bob or not I don’t know but I don’t recall being told about it. (Although I think it might be to see a show). I also haven’t received Steve’s new phone number. Even though Steve deigned to reply to a text to tell me (s)he was getting the new number on Tuesday.

However I’ve been told that we have to have a sit down talk about something that happened at a restaurant the other week. When I dunno but it didn’t sound like a “we shouldn’t be friends anymore” type discussion so I’m getting really mixed signals.

Now I know that Bob & Steve aren’t seeing each other but to be honest I think it would be easier if they were because I could understand being excluded for a boyfriend. Perhaps it’s because I’m such a boring bitch. Maybe Bob really can’t stand me. I just don’t know.

Anyway I don’t think I need to make any kind of “perhaps I’m over reacting” statement because I know I’m not. If anything I’m under reacting to avoid a confrontation. So here I am feeling a bit hurt, confused and angry.

You really have to wonder at how the minds of some people work

How can someone imagine it’s acceptable to transfer his phones to anyone who is staying till 5 without asking them and then just leave?

Why the hell can’t I type properly anymore

I’m trying to be good and keep updated not that there’s much to update about.

Had a bit too much to drink last night so I have a bit of head on me and I didn’t get as much sleep as I would like either.

i wonder why bbc3 showed Kill Bill but apparently aren’t going to show Kill Bill 2 they were released not far apart…...annoying!

spread diseases so for the love of god could you cover your mouth when you cough?! It’s disgusting!

No Doctor Who tonight depressingly -(eurovision song contest instead rhe) . Tried to sign up for a Doctor Who forum earlier this week. Thought I had deleted the confirmation link email as their FAQs suggest that btyahoo sticks them in the bulk emails them but I emailed them a couple of days ago about it and haven’t heard back. Bum!

This is my uber GW character. By uber I mean uber for me, I’m sure she’s horrible crap for everyone else

Crappy day at work

Too few staff too much work. Having to cover more phones which means you can’t get as much work cleared because you’re running around after stupid phone calls. It’s also hard to see when it all ends. We’re one supervisor down, one is on holiday, 2 are part time and one of them (mine) is about 2 weeks behind. The work is falling off – literally – those 3 desks and we have so much work coming in at the moment it’s unbelievable and totally depressing. The joke is that they want to cut staff. WE NEED MORE YOU MORON! Seriously where do they get people who honestly think you can provide quality customer service with fewer people?! Then I’m working overtime tomorrow so I will be totally knackered. Ah well at least the 28th is a bank holiday. I’m kind of annoyed because work has turned into an utter bitch fest, which is probably due to low morale and I really shouldn’t let myself be drawn into it. I feel very disappointed with myself.

Just checked my online account “sorry but there have been no transactions since your last statement” for my credit card….SORRY?! Good! you mean. Not spending on your cc is not something to be sorry about definitely!

Well I think I shall play some guild wars. After downloading google earth to find out if they’ve added an extra storey to the hotel they go to every year.

It’s nice of your parents to go out and not inform you when they’ll be back

No wait that’s not right…hmmm…..

RUDE! that’s it! it’s RUDE of your parents to go out and not inform you when they’ll be back.
I refuse to scrub some potatoes though. I was promised a sausage casserole and I’ve been at work all day. So sod em! The hypocritical thing being that my mother would have sulked like something super sulky when my brother pulled stunts like this. Ooh the irony.

This is kind of interesting – proof that so called intelligent design is rubbish: Some more of god’s greatest mistakes

Well okay lets try this again

I had planned to do a nice long post yesterday but had to take the cat to the vet for his check up and shots (got him some new medication to try for his epilepsy). Then I had to wash the dishes and my mum wanted me to type up her essay for her. Anyways…..

So lets have a bitch about work then I think

Firstly we have the person who gives a running commentary on the case they are working on and then asks me really stupid questions that I couldn’t possibly know the answer to without having looked at the case. In most cases if the person had actually READ the case in the first place the stupid question would of answered itself.
Secondly the manager who never actually seems to do anywork. Was starting to get pissed off today – spent a heck of a lot of time on his self employed business – er – in your employed work hours. Not cool dude!
Thirdly we have the commander who has apparently gone AWOL. She’d just been put in charge of my command and has already done a runner – oops!

I know I said I wasn’t going to continue with the Prince of Nothing Series but I saw the Thousandfold Thought in WH Smith the other day and it’s the last book of a trilogy so I might as well find out what happens. Didn’t buy it yet though!

I was going to do a nice big rant update type thingie but unfortunately my time is not my own tonight.

Til tomorrow then!

On the toothy front – seems to only hurt if Ive been eating which is an improvement on constant pain I guess.

Off work because it is a bank holiday (yipee!) and I think the parents might be going out (yipee) because I cleared out a couple of drawers of clothes and want to take them to the clothing bank and my car is blocked in by my mums. While I’m in the area where the clothes bank is I can pop into tescos and buy some chocolate and the new Mills & Boons (yippee doo!)

I don’t know why but spammers really seem to be targeting the Everybody’s gone to War lyric post

Perhaps because it has the most legitimate replies?! Who knows…..arseholes!

So I’ve had a toothache for about three weeks

When I say toothache I mean it was a constant pain that I was taking painkillers every 6 hours for and woke me up in the middle of the night when the painkillers wore off.
I had phoned up the dentist surgery 2 weeks ago and was told the earliest appointment was the 4th of May and I needed a check up anyways.

Well after the weekend I phoned again and was told i could come down one morning and he might see me between patients. So I did. My filling was taken out and my tooth packed (?), a temp filling put in and I was going back on the 4th for the permanent one.

Unfortunately it didn’t work. I decided to just dose myself and wait patiently till the 4th.

So now I’ve had the nerve removed (I think) and another temp filling put in and Im going back in August (I kid you not that was the soonest) it was fine yesterday and yay not sensitive anymore but my yesterday evening – guess what – it still aches! Argh! (admittedly not as bad as before). My tongue now feels a bit dry on one side too.

I beginning to think it’s all in my head or Ive got the wrong tooth or something.

christ I haven’t posted in like – ages .

Totally absorbed in guild wars I’m afraid.

God them BT adverts annoy me…

Recovering well from my little accident the other week. Just need to get a filling on my tooth. Bit pissed off though. I’d lost over a stone since I started this walking malarkey. Haven’t been for 2 weeks – put on 10 pounds. WTF is that all about?! Was going to start again on Monday but the cat wasnt well was up to the vets Mon-Thurs. Was going to go today – pissing it with rain. Gah!

Anyhoo….got a sexay new phone!

My old phone seems to have gone missing though

I have been completelyobessessed with a game called guild wars it is the bees knees….go check it out on www.guildwars.com

Then you can admire my naked baldy monkness and also my clothed baldy monkness (eh free level 51 armour trumps funky purple tattooes).

So on Tuesday I was doing my 30 minute walk (lost over a stone!) – of course the drizzle had decided to turn into pissing rain and it was windy. So headphones on, hood pulled down, crossing the road at the entrance to a housing area when I get knocked over. As far as I can tell all the driver did was knock me off my feet. Unfortunately I landed on my face

Lost my glasses and my insurance won’t cover it if you can’t find them – £200
Badly chipped a tooth – earliest appointment is on Thursday but apparently a crown costs around £100
Possible broken nose so I have to go the ENT clinic on Monday.
and my lip is a bit manky.

Going to the police station tonight to make a statement about it all. I don’t blame the fella who knocked me over as I was wearing dark clothes and I didn’t look left. However my mother is convinced he;s going to make a claim against me for stress

Happy birthday to me eh?

Yeah so I should probably update or something…...

Back on a weightloss kick. went to this fitness test thing at work and the fella basically said I would be dead by the time I was 40 (cheery sort) saying that my Cholesterol was fine (3.99 if it means anything to you) but my blood pressure was high 130/96. So he told me to get my Doctor to check it out. The Doctor had it as 144/86 – I don’t know if these fluctuations matter? So I’m to go back in a month and get it checked again.

Now Im walking 30 minutes 6 times a week (sometimes 5) trying to walk up to the 3rd floor at work and get the lift to my floor from there at least once a day and going out for a bit at lunch time. Christ I hate it. I am a naturally inactive person . I shall persevere though.

online banking rocks!
