Baby and other Stuff

Damn son, I haven’t blogged in 6 months! Well i blog when i have something to say, and can be bothered. That’s now. Although I’ve had something to say for a few months now.

So some good news. My one and only love muffin, +Tracey Ryan , is pregnant. 4 months so far. We get to find out the gender at the next scan, which is this Friday. I’ll let you know what it is. (It’s a baby).

When we went to the first scan, it looked like the baby was lying back, very relaxed. Tracey said she could almost see it smoking a joint. Almost. It wasn’t.

Here’s a picture of the first scan (It’s big. The picture, not the baby):

First Baby Scan

She’s due on with December, but they say with the first baby, it could be up to a couple of weeks later, so we’re expecting a Christmas baby. We just hope it doesn’t interfere with the Doctor Who Christmas specia. 😉

EDIT: We’ve found out it’s boy, and it looks like we’re naming it Daniel. Although this may change.

In other news, I went for a job interview a couple of months ago, at HMV. I thought it went well. They never called me back.
Then about a week ago, I got a call from 3, the mobile network, asking me to go for a job interview. So it got set up, then the night before the interview, they cancelled it and said they;d set up another one. So far, they haven’t. WHY DON’T PEOPLE WANT ME?!

Anyways, that’s all for now I think. See you all soon, whenever i have something to post. Toodle pip

No Money, No Family

So i still don’t have a job yet. And not only do i not have a job, i’m also not getting paid by the Jobcentre anymore because i didn’t do enough to look for jobs one time. So they stopped paying me for “4 weeks”. But they didn’t start paying me again. I phoned them and they said that i need to send a form in that they didn’t receive. So i sent it off again and they said it’d be processed and all that junk, by Monday (30th September). Now its 3rd October and i still haven’t been paid. I’ll be phoning them soon to find out what’s going on. I have £37 in the bank and a bit in my wallet. Once that’s gone, i have nothing.

I’ve been trying to sell some things but no-one will buy them. So because i have no money, i can’t pay rent, so my dad is kicking me out soon. I’m going to have to live with my mom. And i don’t get fed there at the best of times. And i don’t even know if she has internet. My dad is also cutting off the internet. So that makes the computer (that i gave him) pretty useless. He cares more about his money than me. I’m just a big old burden to him. Well sorry that i have to buy food to stay alive. As if he doesn’t make me feel useless enough. He points it out plenty. To everyone. Loudly. Including the cats, and i’m sure the neighbours know.

I had my phone cut off because i had to stop paying it. I’ve cancelled subscriptions to stuff like Netflix. Because of the Jobcentre’s error, i have to try to sell stuff to survive. I essentially have no family. No support. Just me and my possessions and my girlfriend. She wishes she could help. I don’t like asking for help. Anyone who knows me even fairly well knows that. But now i really do. I’m not asking you, the readers (although i won’t turn down anything). I just need to get this off my chest.

Obviously the people who are supposed to be helping, the government, aren’t doing anything. They don’t care if i have money. I find that disgusting that they care about money more than treating humans good. But it IS the government. They’ve never done anything for the good of the country.

I badly want more than anything to move out and live with +Tracey Ryan. If i’d booked the ferry sooner, i would have been out of here weeks ago. And if i’d just done enough to look for jobs that one time, they would have kept paying me, and i’d be out of here as well. It’s partly my fault. Only partly.

Anyway i’m going for a bath.

Still Unemployed

Yeah, it’s been about 2 months since i did my last blog. I still don’t have a new job and i lose this job in less than 2 weeks. And yes, i have been looking. I’ve applied to several places. Especially technology related places, like CarphoneWarehouse and Comet and stuff like that. So far no-one has accepted me. One company wanted me to go to an interview, but after a bit of research i discovered it’s a scam company. Don’t ever work for Skyline Marketing Ltd.

On the 26th April, i do get some redundancy and lieu of notice pay. This should come to about £2000 (on top of my £600 or so normal pay), but i want to save as much of it as i can. Looks like i’ll have to start going to the crappy jobcentre. From what one of my Facebook friends say though, they’re a load of crap. Which i believe. Let’s face it, they are owned by the government. And we all know what governments are like.

I’m typing this blog up at work. I probably shouldn’t be. If Omar knew (the IT man), he wouldn’t be happy. I don’t even know if he still works here though. We’re allowed to look for jobs though, obviously. Although some sites are blocked, including a few i’ve needed, like when i tried to look for jobs at Codemasters or Aston University. I understand gaming being blocked but education is also blocked. Why would they block education? “We don’t want you learning things, do we”. Stupid.

On another subject, the computer i’ve been building has a slight problem. I’ve installed that Windows on too many computers, and now they’ve blocked me from using that CD key thing. Now i need a new one, or i’ll keep getting an error message, it’ll say the Windows version number in the bottom right corner, and it’ll blank the background. The error more than anything is annoying, but i suppose i’ll have to tolerate it. If anyone has a spare Windows 7 Home Premium CD key, feel free to let me know

First world problems, eh? Other than that, it runs good except the mid range graphics card and the slow main hard drive. But i do want a better graphics card. It can’t even run Star Trek Online at maximum graphics settings properly. It’s got some nice effects but nothing that should be too hard on the graphics card. Ah well, i’ll get a better one soon enough.

That’s all for today. Just wanted top update you all on the situation. If you care. Probably not. I’m surprised i get as many views as i do. I’m at exactly 7400 views right now. Not bad. Anyway, toodle pips old chap
