It is coming in to summer here in ole New Zealand, and it is hot as fuck - oh my god, and muggy as a mofo, this together with the business that is christmas is going to make the next month a fucker to deal with. Good thing I have you, waiting for me everyday when I get home to take the misery away. My beautiful bottle of RED wine.

I'm learning a lesson at the moment.One of those "you fucking idiot" lessons.You know.The stinging hurting type of lesson.That you don't want to repeat.But probably will - till it eventually gets through your thick boney skull.This lesson is called "Taking things for granted".I've decided this lesson sucks.Big round ones.I've taken someone for granted. And my own insecurities have made the

I'm at the tail end of the flu at the moment. And it has been a real shitter of a ride too.It all started with that first sniffle, and I knew what was coming...First of all it was just head coldey. Expect nasal taps to be unleashed, runny eyes and coughs, makes working both unbearable and embarrasing, especially in retail.The next day I thought I was fine(r), but I wasn't. It hit me about 11.30am

It is hot here - damn hot. Not as hot as the sun but hot enough. The picture below is the scene from outside of my bedroom window. Surely, this illustrates, and well must I add, Yes, I must, my previous statement of aforementioned warmth. Heat. Wow - update. My flatmates just came to my room, complained that it was hotter in my room than outside and left.Fuckers.It's not my own fault.

So I am back at work this week. Three weeks have flittered past like a flittering past little birdie, and I think to myself (Not what a wonderful world) going back to work is going to suck round ones.Yes.Round ones.Anyways - I'm sure that the list of shit I left others to do hasn't been done (I am an effective manager - I inspire others) actually I was told that the person I gave the tasks to

Right, I've got three weeks off - hell yeah.Today is day number one - I've been surfing since I graced the world by rolling out of bed at about 08.30. Not a bad time still decent, I've considered the mean feed of fish and chips as Wednesday IS fish and chips day but have succumbed to a bottle of Shiraz instead. I expect a greasy feed may ensue or oblivion which ever reaches me first. Day one

Sup there.I have a day off, and my plan this day was to play GTA-4. Hopefully a patch is released soon to fix the bugginess of this fucking game.I've had to update a 64 bit service pack, new driver downloads, driver wipe utilities, and a third party GPU tool, just to get it to look crap and not render scenes.Wicked.Not even.

Well - life is good here.Interestingly enough, I find myself in situations where I'm told what to do... this be fine, however, I can't help but giggle (Is that the right word?) at the irony of now being in a position where I'm ordered/asked/requested... told what to do.I was asked to sweep the floor today.I felt like saying "Fuck off and sweep it yourself". I then looked at another guy in my area

More updates on my new employment and life as an ex-regional manager.I'm really enjoying this new vibe.Here is a taste of todays events.I woke up early without the aid of a cell phone alarm.I reformatted my Sony HDWM and loaded it with arse/ass kickers, Calyx (DNB) and some mighty fine trance Above and Beyond, Mike Hoglins remix of the Fine Day track by Opus III, and the classic stomper

Well shit me a river, life has indeed been stranger than Australia's unhealthy interest in police 10-7.I have gained employment - interestingly, after I had resigned to the fact of getting some of my taxes back and taking it easy.A phone call you see, it came out of the blue, and before I knew it, my first interview was where I negotiated my pay and said yes, and now I am proudly on $12.75 per

Humbleness for my lack of posts.Interestingly in my absence from the internet- which may I add, was as a painful as having no credit on a cellphone that you need to use to call your boss and say you are sick whilst there is a toll and mobile phone bar on the landline, the day after two people were fired for not calling in sick at all - much has happened.More on this later.Hahahahahahaha.

I had an interesting day today... it was following a lead from a returned call that a recruitment consultant (I use that term loosely) made to me last week, requesting an interview for a position that she had clearly explained had been taken already but was "just still online".Considering that I want a house, apartment, Shahinnian speakers, an Orpheus system, and an Audi R8.

From http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/mrogers/1. Develop a strategic stutter and sound deadly earnest and upset, as if you feel awful about the whole affair. 2. Use words such as "I'm awfully sorry" "I feel like an absolute shit" "I have been unforgiveably rude" "You have every right to be mad with me" The key technique under play here is justifying the persons anger, beating yourself up and being

I went to my local liquor store today get a bottle of Shiraz and some Wild Turkey and Dry premixes.Yummy.The shop was empty.The lady at the front greeted me as I entered.Sweet. One point.I selected my products and went to pay.As I put my bottles down the lady processed my order and the phone rang.So in the middle of the sale, she picked it up and answered.And had a little chat to a friend who had

Yes it has happened, I am liberated from paid employment.Time for a state of catharsis, and revisiting Dr. Peter Cammocks personal development workshop that I attended in 2001. It is also time to reconnect with the folk on the mainland (That's the South Island of New Zealand for all of you JAFA's out there).

A tough one really, the forensics wont kick in for a bit so I might take a holiday, the first real one in five years. I expect it to involve traveling and alcohol. Not necessarily in that order, but possibly, with mates too.I'm going to try not to look at retail shops while I'm cruising and not analyse customer service levels, and not know which suppliers provide the products, and generally not

Nijikai was at Genta because Ken's was busy and Sankai was at Donkey. I spent the whole next day with LOTR strategy game and fish'n'chips....

Yes, that just described my dayThings went well.The product text files uploaded sweetly, the maps I prepared were a little over the top detail wise and all documents were meade to be cross referenced with each other. We even ended up finishing about 1.5 hours ahead of schedule. (Not always a good thing)Finding the codes that didn't work on the first scan proved to be a real fucker, and took about

I have bronchal pneumonia, apparently one step before pneumonia, which is bad.This means no smoking and time off work.Unfortunately, all I can think about, IS work. I hate that.Bad timing too as we have our general stocktake and a manual stocktake to complete for a new store takeover.We also have some operational changes that need to be implemented and other random head office stuff to carry out,

My week started out sheisse style, pretty miserable to tell the truth. I've had a few surprises along the way that have given me some long nights, a staff farewell, been short staffed and missed some deadlines.Where is wine!

I have a few updates to make... however, I experienced perhaps one of the most profound, yet simple and intirnsic comments I think that I have heard in the past two years...It is in regards to gifts... gifts from the heart... from the soul..."A gift from the heart, must be received from the heart"This may mean nothing to most, perhaps you have not received a gift from the heart?

Speaking of some funky trance tracks, we have a primo selection of electronic music perfectly manicured to a retail experience, some people have pianos, some have the radio and some play cheesy house. We play a mixture of cultured chill out, epic but not clubby trance, sexy jazz core drum and bass and it's all mixed up with interlude-like sweet New Zealand music.

Sure the title sounds are little pessimistic, or perhaps my new responsibilities are too much? Certainly in my case, it's the latter. However, from what I have discovered on this particular project, my new role encompasses the following: 1. an accountants role, 2. a marketers role, 3.

An office administrator asked me why there were so many accountants working in our organisation. I replied, "because they like the comfort of their own kind, just like cats and dogs."I'm not sure that she understood this.

I cannot believe how many of my friends have either just been married or had children. Life, Change, Progression, Love, Marriage, Children and stuff...Makes me wonder if there is anything wrong with me, but then I see them argue and I rejoice. I'm kidding of course.Anyways, as per my itinerary for this weekend, it all was achieved and now I am having an excellent bottle of Shiraz, Manara Rock

It's staff recruitment time again, we have had a resignation that increases the joy of most and leaves a hole in the team and several positions vacant.I've used seek.co.nz to place an ad and the results I'd have to say are pretty miserable.I ask for a cover letter and an updated CV and in most cases do not receive a cover letter, read the ad people!Of those who have applied, I'm surprised that

I remember as a sales person having to work on long weekends and most public holidays, ironic it is now, that I am not allowed to work them by company policy.So my weekend so far has involved a computer game, that I have played relatively non-stop since 13:00 yesterday, it is now 22:20 local time the day after.And, I can do it again tomorrow (Sunday, and the day after that).Yes, it has been a
