Ok my patience has been tested by IT many a time over and over, just as it has you I'm sure.  So it wont suprise you to hear the crap I am having to put up with.

I have had problems with my computer having spats with the printer, I am not an IT guru but I have managed to be the mediator a fair few times now.  Then of course computers get older with time and I have sod all money to make it capable of more stuff or do it quicker so it often runs out of memory on the internet...  Now the past two days word has been crashing on me.  I run regular virus checksso I decided to check again today only for that to now shut down with a bug on me.  This really isn't my day.

Moving on to 3 Mobile.  If you have been considering stepping up to thier marketing strategies then dont! Turn around and run away in a girly fashion.

I have had aboslutely nothing but hassle ever since I joined then in October.  No signal, internet when it feels like connecting, cutting me off calls (due to no signal) and me not being able to hear a thing on a conversation with my employer and other job agencies with offers.  How many calls I have missed because of 3 in just the past two days? 5.  Not very good service ay?

For someone in dire need of money and therefore a regular job, this is not the best news.

Also for someone having an assignment due in a few days that I have just started (due to having just finished major exams last week) on developing on grave sites, which personally speaking I have no knowledge of, then all this 'great IT technology' really is of as much use to me as Fox alloys, or a choccie tea cup.

So, as you can gather, I am not having the best of weeks as since I have not had reception from 3 my employer couldn't tell me Legal Aid had been pulled on my case and so I did 4 hours travelling, spending more money than Ken Livingstone should make us, for sweet f'all.

This month has not been great for me (not that I want to remember I had no Valentines cards either )  Exams, revision, worst debt position ever, ex boss still hasn't paid me....  I'm doing good lol. Shit.

OK.  I am by no means a politically motivated person.  There are however two petitions which I think are most definately worth your time and attention.  These petitions aren't long to read but have a big impact on many of us, so I thought I'd share it with you.

The first of which concerns us first time buyers. There is no way many people even earning £26,000 a year can buy a place of their own here down south.  I dont know what the situation for anywhere other than London and the South East is, so I apologise if you are any different.

House prices in the outer fringes on the south east kent/london border for a one bedroom flat/apartment will cost you a minimum of £170,000.  The ones that are slighly cheaper are on council blocks.  To buy a terraced house you are looking at around £230,000.  Now oddly enough not one person I know in their 20's can afford a mortgage on their own.  One person has scrapped enough to part own about a 65% share in a house.  So not even a whole house for a one bed terraced house, but a place to spread your wings and call home.  I shall not even mention how much that cost him in body parts.  So you can gather that moving in a place of your own remains a dream in your 20's.  Unless you come from a wealthy family or have a bossom buddy or partner, officially you're screwed.  So hence the first petition.

May I just stress that none of the above is propaganda as I know at least 15 people who are in the same sitution across London and the South.

So, moving on to the second petition;

The government, loving their CCTV and gatso's are coming up with a new scheme to fit every vehicle with a tracking device.  Every mile you travel, the more tax you pay.  Never mind the absurd tax that is imposed on fuel, please note this ban on fuel tax has now been lifted.  Wherever you are in the country the government will know.  If you are visiting your mistress, the government will know you are not with your wife.  Apparently we are the most spied on country full stop.  I didn't want to believe that but apparently whenever you make your way to work in the morning London rat race you are caught on camera an average of 162 times. Fuck.  Yeah.  So with the amount of shit drivers on the road I somehow dont think that fitting a tracking device is going to help- do you?

 

Well all these past couple of weeks of revision are coming to the crunch now, the next lot of exams are up tomorrow until friday.  I've been doing a mock for each, and today is no different.  I managed to get a few percent over the pass rate; 55%, 56% on criminal litigation and property law.  Today is civil litigation and I have been spending a while just trying to find the sodding mock exam paper- not a good sign today ay? lol.

Well after logging into the system I then found the paper in the back of my checklists folder, what. a. muppet.  So I'm about to head off, do sme more exams and maybe later I'll have the exciting task of doing some ironing (I can hear the jealousy) and looking after my ill mum.  So long as I dont fall ill before these exams I dont mind, the other assessment can wait.  I knew there was a reason why student life isn't always good lol.  Out of pocket, moved back in the parents place and own nothing but 2 degrees....

Lets get this degree over and done with so I can move my ass outta here!!!

This link was in a forum I saw and the link is absolutely classic.

It is from a Northern Radio Station that dumps partners for whatever reason live on air.  Dangerous game, but absolutely classic this time.

 

Please just listen, sure made my day!

 

 

I hope you enjoy it too- let me know what you think!

Busy month this month, masses of exams, swear I failed the exam last fri, which is the exam I'm usually red hot on but hey, I know when the re-take day is...

Normal service shall be resumed in the second week of march if that's ok with you guys.  Sorry I'm not around to natter with and visit your sites, just stressed with uni revision, tis crazy crazy stuff.  Bear with me while I strive not to tear my hair out and refrain from killing my mother.

This was one of my random thoughts last night:

Thsi goes out to those joggers out there.

My question is why do they go out jogging first thing in the morning?  Surely that would knacker you out before you have even started work?  And at the weekend- now come on people!  You have to get up at absurd hours to do the rat race and then choose to voluntarily get up at the crack of dawn just to burn some calories and smell the dew?  Pull the other one!!  And inadventantly waking your partner up as you get up? Nice. (well that could be planned...)

I used to do jogging here and there but sod that early bird gets the worm crap.  No I was the evening jogger.  Finishing i time to see the sun set and tire myself out and fall asleep at the drop of a hat.  Surely that is more logical.  If you have trouble sleeping or even just to expell energy doing it in the eve is much better.  The air is just as fresh at night.

No wonder joggers are notriously 'mad'.

Food for thought.
