Thursday 17 January
Things I’m grateful for or that I’ve appreciated today:
- Getting up in plenty of time for work.
- Forcing myself out of bed when I didn’t want to get up.
- Bunches have sorted out an order for me.
- I’m not in work until 1PM.
- Getting those extra hours on Sunday.
- Having time to myself before work.
- I am so glad I don’t have children. That might sound a bit odd, but I realised a long time ago that I didn’t want to buy into the cultural command that I should have children. And I’ve never regretted making that decision.
- Hot coffee.
- Original Source are offering free samples again.
- Figuring out that the weird crackling noise I heard in bed last night was coming from the speakers, not electricity arcing across a gap somewhere.
- Firefox’s spellcheck feature.
- I’ve been paid back by another $9 on Kiva.org. I’m up to $191 now.
- I’ve removed the “” tag from all the URL’s on the site. Now, when Google visits the site, it will index all the links made in comments, instead of ignoring them.
- Safe driving.
- Having change for the parking meter.
- Work went well. I had no problems all day.
- Wenna.
- Stir fry for tea.
- Hot fruit tea.
- My tester cans of Coke have arrived from Lightspeed. I have to drink them, then answer a short survey in 3 days time. Apparently I earn 400 points for doing this, which equates to about £4 that I can claim back through Paypal.
- I’m going to watch some Firefly later. Out of Gas, I think.
- Tinkering with the blog layout.
- Chilled coke.
- I’m not in work until 1PM tomorrow, which should be quiet, then I’m off on Saturday.
- My life is getting better and better all the time.
- ~6 unasked for upsells today!
More please!
- There was a plane crash today, at Heathrow airport. Nobody was seriously hurt.
Have a read of the full story here. That whole situation could have been way way worse. - I’ve successfully edited the blog software. Go me!
- I’ve just had a telephone call from Tesco. They want me to go down for a job interview on Monday.
- Firefly was excellent. As always.
- My wheat bag. I love getting into a cold bed and sticking my feet on it. It’s fantastic.
- I’ve decided to get my profile picture updated tomorrow morning. It’s about time I got it fixed.
- My wheat bag not catching fire when I microwaved it. As I took it out I heard one of the wheat kernels go pop.
Things I’ve laughed at today:
- I’ve laughed with delight at getting a job interview.
- This posting.
Things I want to manifest:
- A good day at work. MANIFESTED.
Things I’ve done for others:
- Serving lots of customers.
- Sliced the veg for tea.
- Cleared up and washed up after tea.




Happy Thursday!
