Smelly Elle's fantastic diary: Weight Loss? What Weight Loss?

Morning all, Hi abz, on the early shift today?

Yes daisy, drink your water love.
 
am always on the early shift jim. i work 7-5 most days. four day weeks though. four 10 hour shifts in a row this week. can't complain as i have the weekend off, ha. but i'm going to be shattered :)

abz xx
 
That's not bad abz, we work 9 - 5 but i stagger it for my guys as the stores open at 8. 2 are on 8-4 and 2 are on 10-6 again as the stores are open until 6. I do 8-5 generally sometimes 8-6.

Do you use VNC at all? It's a fantastic tool.
 
You'd like my mate Baxter's job then Taz, he works at dunlop 3 12 hour night shifts, Friday, Saturday and Sunday then has the rest of the week off.
 
Yes, I'm envious as well.
 
You into amateur dramatics then Daisy?
 
I absolutely LOVELOVELOVE all things on the technical side of theatre/drama etc
Have been learning all about it as an extra curricular lesson at college doing stage management, lights, sound, set design & without our fab little team not a lot would happen with the (many) productions my school puts on!:rolleyes:
Infact I am applying to Bristol Old Vic to study stage management and technical theatre for three years as another option tha isn't uni!
I think it's really exciting when you're watching a play or whatever thinking "oh that was a good snap cue" or whatever, but that's cause i'm quite a bit of a geek!!:D
But once you have some experience you can't help it:drama is ruined for me forever as all i think about is how the cues all run so smoothly or how the props are put together haha:)
 
yes jim. we do use vnc, but that's why i rarely get out of my seat!! ha. shame i couldn't do it sitting at home really... where it's warm!! freezing at our end of the office thanks to the server rooms!!

Yes abz, our engine room is freezing as well, I've been looking at a heat exchanger to save money on the air con.
 
well the other end of the office is boiling so they insist on their air con, and as soon as ours goes the server room temp skyrockets. kind of scary really. but that's no comfort right now. my fingers are freezing. i have a radiator next to me but it's a low one so the shin on my left leg is toasty while the rest of me freezes!!

abz xx
 
LOL, poor abz, it's nopt cold here today, just sort of grey and crappy.
 
and now i'm sleeeeeeeeeeeeepy too :( today is going to be difficult. especially since my brain won't go into sql mode :(
 
here's a bit to get you started abz, ;)

Daisy i'm so jealous! You lucky thing. I realised only AFTER I'd finished everything that I was interested in that kind of thing. Well, i mean, I did stuff at high school - i wrote and 'produced' the pantomime. And then when I told my mum I wanted to do something around that at uni she went a bit mental, so i ended up doing law.There's nothing I regret in my life more. And now I'm trying to summon up the courage to ask an amateur dramatics company in the local area if I can go and help them. I feel like they'll just say no immediately because I'm not experienced or it's something i've only just started getting into. (well, re-getting into..)

p.s. guys i was 12st 9lb this morning. Im thinking it truly is a plateau...

Hi elle,

why don't you finish your law degree and then look at acting? Meanwhile, Sutton has quite a good amateur dramatic society at the Highbury little theatre.
 
oh thanks so much for that jim :p just what i wanted on my lunch break!! ha.

well i'm beginning to think that there is no simple way of doing what i want to do. i think i'm going to have to take the long and convoluted option after all... would ask my boss but he isn't exactly a database boffin, the chap that is is off today. so i may switch to working on something else as i feel like i'm going around in circles... i just don't know how to create a binary array from checkboxes.... aaargh. i have a normal array, but it only shows what is checked, and i need a zero if it isn't. and it's really pissing me off!!

the sun is out though :D which has to count for something.

and i'm STARVING again today. i have a quorn shepherds pie that i am looking longingly at but i should leave it until later as i've already had a sandwich :S

LOL, abz is busy today then. :)
