MONDAY... Can't really update much - have had to steal a few minutes to do this, but it HAS to be a couple of minutes coz everyone I'm really stressed at work!)
THURSDAY...OK so after saying that, I thought I'd better let everyone know what an ejit I am - I've now got a rather bad concussion from banging my head through a light on a Toyota MR2 after trying to 'de-stress' from a really bad two days at work. (It was Tuesday night when I banged my head). I don't know how I got as drunk as I apparently did. I've lost a LOT of memory (about an hour and a half) but all I can remember before that is having two drinks of vodka (about a double vodka in each glass) and 4 vodka's should NOT be enough for me to lose memory. I don't know if it's because I've lost over half a stone in the last fortnight, or if I hadn't had much to eat (because of the diet I'd only had a slim-fast for luch and a light snack for tea). All in all, I was badly affected by the alcohol, and actually knocked myself unconscious when I hit my head. I made it into work the next day but my boss thought it best to send me to Casualty (where I waited for 5 hours to be seen!) and today I find roumers that the only reason I was ill was because I was hung over. I'd never been dizzy or had visual problems with a hangover and I've only ever been sick the night after drinking when my drink had been spiked with some horrid drug. Anyway... Back to work... The route of all problems... Oh and my head still hurts...*sigh*
FRIDAY... Well, this week is rapidy turning into the worst week in my life. After the total stress at work and the concussion and the 5 hours in the hospital waiting room and MORE stress at work when I find there are roumers that I'm only ill with a hangover (I'm still getting dizzy, nauscious and blurred vision 3 days later!) and I've also been working overtime as often as possible for the last fortnight, I also find out that I can have my holiday next week as long as I come in on Monday and have the Monday after that off! so it's a week with a split in the middle!
And... to top it off, someone has complained about my site! I was devistated! They claim to have found it by searching for the name of the school that John met his current girlfriend at. He's applying for a different job at the school and has been told that MY WEBPAGE will affect his chances of getting the job. (I've now had to change the school name on his page). There were also accusations that I linked to pages which linked to porn.
After doing some personal reasearch, here are my results...
There are ONLY FOUR references to a "[insert name of school here]" in the whole of Dogpile - which searches 10 search engines. Whoever told the deputy that load of b*ll*cks is obviously someone who knows John, Ardil, Mark, Reuben, Matthew, Jonny or me. (as I have links to my site from their sites) AND someone who has a specific grudge against John getting this job!
The only link that I have that I don't really know very well is that of a friend I met online, who I agreed to swap site links with but I've had a scan through and she's got no porn links that I can see, and there's no porn on her site.
Forster's used to link to porn, but after I nagged him for a while, he took that off and that was ages ago, and now has a dead "link" which is a joke about me in a 'porn shocker' which I'll be asking him to remove in the very near future.
So I think that it must only be the whole John and Claire thing (the fact that they met when she was still a student - which I didn't know was a crime!) which is the "problem" as everything else they said is total b*llsh*t!
The thing that REALLY upsets me is that they got my site involved at all! I have nothing offensive on it and have worked really hard on it and even been awarded for it and it is MY PERSONAL SITE and no-one has any right to tell me what I can and can't say about my friends - or about anything for that matter. I am really upset by his and was actually in tears that someone could be THIS spiteful about my web-page because someone else is applying for a job!
Everything after this was written on Monday when I was in a relativly good mood...
I am proud to say that I've been accepted for the 'Golden Web Awards 2002-2003' the very first award that I have entered my web-site in, and it has been awarded first time!
*Beams with pride*
And also, out of the blue, I'd like to say a great thanks to Fantasy Fights for awarding me with their Excellent Site Awards...
I think I might have to start an Awards Page when I get a minute! ~:o)
There's still not really much other news this week - I'm still slaving away like god knows what at the College and my house nearly got ripped to shreds by the winds that we#ve had here the last few days, but all in all, it's pretty much OK.
Well - I've nearly been on the diet for two weeks (don't forget it's Thurs as I'm writing this) and people have started to comment that I've lost weight - it's hard to believe and I didn't think that it'd be possible, but I seem to really have lost a couple of pounds. I'm on a variation of the Slim-Fast diet and the Weight-Watchers plan trating myself to chips only once a week and cutting down on alcohol as much as possible!
I dared myself onto the scales on Saturday and I've lost 9lb... 9 Pounds! I ouldn't believe it - over half a stone in a fortnight!!!
Soooo - I had a Chinese meal and a drink to celebrate (oops)!
Also, while I was away over the Xmas holidays, I have been accepted into the Women of Strength and Inner Beauty group, which is made up of women who do not discriminate anyone for anything beyond their control, including age, race, sexual preference, and religion. I still have many aspects of the group to explore, but am proud to display my personalised banner...
I feel a bit guilty as I have been so warmly welcomed into the group and I really want to get involved, but I don't feel that I can really commit myself to them as much as they deserve until I have more time to dedicate to the group. Hopefully once I'm in my new house and am online at home, then I'll be able to become a person worthy of being a member of WOSIB!
