Toileted Blogger

I check and read quite a few Bloggs on a daily basis, if not during "lunch time", then from home after hours.
One favourite is this one:-
http://dmdad.blogspot.com/

However, it would seem as if the bogging blogger is too blogged up to continue a steady stream of blogging bloggs.
So, for this I award you the "Used Toilet Seat" trophy for this month.
In the event you don't know what this is, I am attaching a picture (compliments of Google, and, NO, no permission requested)


You get to wear this, around your neck, everyday for the next 28 days. And don't you dare clean / disinfect / wipe / cover it.

Dickhead does it again...

So the dickhead tries to threaten me! ME!!
Does he have a death wish or what?

"If I have to take action against you, or start proceedings it's your own fault!!"

So what do I do, write all of the events into an email, send it to him, and his boss, and my boss from the UK.
Take your best shot. If you think you can fire me, you are obviously delusional!!

And so another day at the office. When your bad, your bad, but when you are good you are still bad. Half the so called "back office" support are never available "Working from home" "Remote users" is the fashionable term, however, they are no bloody good to me then. I need them here, to do what is required to ensure a speedy service to me, and ultimately to my client.

I really need to get out of this place. Another job. Any other job. What the hell is going on here? It's not like I don't do my bit. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just fucked up, ungrateful, full of shit, disrespectful, maybe.

Damn, I am really not going to make it here.

Teenage Basement Lounge Project

Saturday, 24th June me and the boys decide to start, and we got into this project in a big way. Those of you who read my stuff regular like will know the details.
First we "assemble" a BIC ex-queenies old apartment. That's another story!!

Anyway, me and the boys decided to get started with the "display unit" we want to build into this space. This will house the TV, DVD player, Video machine, DVD's / PS2 games, PS2 player (is that what you call it?) Hi-Fi, cd's, etc. All their "stuff".
I decided to use 16mm chip board (being the cheapest) which I will then coat with a dark oak varnish. Tried it on a offcut, and it looks ok. Better than I first expected anyway.
Access to this "space" is through the motor garage, via a "middle" room, which (doubles as a store room).

Middle room view, pic taken from the door going into the "lounge". Doorway in the pic leads from the motor garage. BIC is ex-queenies old apartment, and is now a storage for camping stuff. Floor tiled with cheap tiles (R49.95 / m2).

"Lounge", pic taken from door way showing the window, and empty space for proposed "Wall unit". (Old, lion claw radio gram is going to the antique shop soon....) Floor tiled with the 500x500 porcelain tiles we had left over from the flooring upstairs in the living areas...

More, pic as at 08h00.


The result as at 19h00 Sunday evening.

All that is still needed to be done is finish the facia (bottom plank) fit a door to the far left (for access to the rear for storage and electrics), backing board (3mm hardboard), paint the ceiling (above the unit) varnish the whole thing, and if needed, edging on the front.

I am very proud of what we have achieved here. I have always said I can work with steel, but wood just does not do it for me. I keep stuffing it up. Anyway, this project, with carefull planning, double checking, and assistance from the boys is 10/10!

Now for that bar counter I have been threatening to build.......

26 June 2006 - World Cup Soccer update

Italia 1-0 Australia
(In case anyone missed it)

Last night Holland got kicked out of the current soccer world cup. And deservedly so. They put on what can only be described as the worst display of soccer, and on the field conduct, ever displayed in the history of the game.
16 Yellow and 4 red cards in all across the two teams involved ( the other team was Portugal).

To all of you who support Holland, for once you will have to hang your heads in shame.
