| Just a couple of things; |

| As I sit here, on this nice and quiet Monday evening, listening to a beautifull rendition of the "Cool blues" by Charlie Parker there are a couple of things I needed to get off my chest. Some things I hadn't put on the page yet because I just didn't think they were important enough. First of all, the chick I had a "date" with a couple of weeks ago (Mentioned somewhere on this site) and I have been seeing eachother a couple of times since then. Nothing major, just something better to do on my Friday night. She sent me a mail a while ago and she wants to know if we are "Boyfriend and Girlfriend"...Now, I don't do the "boyfriend and girlfriend" thing and I don't have the time for it at the moment. I told her so and hoped that was the end of that discussion. I should have known better; I have been working 80 hours a week for the last month and she doesn't like it because "I am not very social" OFCOURSE NOT! First of all; I am working freakin' 80 hours a week..I don't have the time to be social! I haven't seen the inside of a pub in well over a month! Secondly; I told her I don't care! I am not interested in a long-term thing, well not with her anyways, Give it up OK Lady??? What is it with women and wanting every single freakin' relationship to last forever? It doesn't work that way! Face it! Anyway..Like I said; It's not important..not tonight..not ever. The reason I am writing this is because I want to give you a glimps of what might be my foreseeable future. I am waiting/hoping on a very nice payday 2 days from now. It all depends on someone screwing up...someone with a very good trackrecord of screwing up..My former employer. If they pay me this week, I have got a pretty good shot at making some "real" money soon. I am talking well over �10000. ($15k), which is nice...but it doesn't stop there. If indeed I can make that 10 grand then I should be able to finally do something I really wanted, something I have always wanted...Get more money out of it! As I am typing this I know how sad this sounds... but it's kindoff a big thing at the moment. Someone reminded me this weekend on a vow I made to my dad when I was about 12 years-old; "I will have �30k in the bank well before I am 30". My dad of course shrugged it off with a smile thinking; "That's my boy nothing if not ambitious" I realise what you are thinking now "�30k is nothing..you can't even buy a house for that everybody with a house has �30k!"..Wrong..I am talking �30k in the bank...solid cold hard cash! And, as the saying goes, "money makes money". I have always stated that as soon as I have �25k in the bank there is a pretty solid chance that I don't have to worry about working too much. During my days at William Hill this is one lesson I learned very quickly. �25k and some sound advise is enough to not have to worry too much about waking up at 06.00AM Not waking up at 06.00 is a good thing, in my book anyways. I have had enough of it, the working with morons, the not having had a holiday in 4 years...the not having had a "real" holiday in well over 5 years. I have worked penty and the rewards have been meager, to say the least. My bankaccount is not showing any signs of a vital existence. It's time this changes. I sincerely hope my working days are over soon, then again "who doesn't?" The difference between me and all the hopefulls out there is that I have a very good shot at making this happen pretty darn soon. And not everybody can say that. All I need is my old employer to screw up once, and this time in my favour. (That would be a first)..I will keep you up-to-date on what happens 2 days from now...the momentum surely seems to be on my side. I have had the winner of the Grand National, was smart enough (after all) to stay away from the Scottish version of the National...no �2k but still made a decent sum on the footie). Life is good at the moment, I am comfortable this month. The holiday is planned...now all I need is some serious spending money! Peter. P.S The French lessons are a Son of a Bitch! |

| Update; My old employer never did me any favours and they haven't now..Too bad, but not the end of the world...Guess I will just have to resort to robbing old ladies if I ever want to get rich. I wonder if I can get my hands on the Queen Mom's Crown Jewels..She doesn't need them anymore. |
