Robot Ride (looks dangerous)

Sunday Starbucks
.. another quick post, out of the house for a quiet break. It’s been madness lately what with the toubles at home, I think the stress of it all is getting to Mum as when I picked a wrong number in the lotto card she burst into tears saying that we have always had the same numbers.. Did my best to reassure her explaining that it wasn’t a big issue and I returned to another lotto ticket this time with the right numbers. It upset me for the remainder of the day, annoyed with myself that I had been a bit short with her unnecessary concerns to something that couple be fixed so easily.
lets bope next week goes better…
Maplins in Sutton…
.. that will be useful.
Been a tough week…
Had some issues at work today, the design for the domain upgrade stalled due to some crap hardware… the design is strong, but the order in which it needs to be done needs to be reviewed, working on that next week.
At home its been a little stressful as my aunt who was taken ill and had to go to hospital is now living with us for the time being, so now we have 3 disabled people and a 14yr old cat, jeez starting to feel like a retirement home, and I’m the porter! Shopping for the whole family was stressful this morning, took 3 hours! My aunt apparently is very fussy about her food so we took 20mins finding the correct bread and a further 15mins selecting the smallest, un-ripe, but yellow bannanas.. oh we’ll…
just finally escaped for a coffee and a bun.
New staff member
… its a snowy day and I got to work to find a new staff member standing on the balcony…
Apparently he’s now my boss and I have to report to him 
They white-washed the street
… first snow of the year, will it get worse… who knows
Movie: Employee of the month
Synopsis: For customers of Super Club, the largest high-volume, bulk-discount retailer in the country, membership has its privileges. For workers at the cavernous store, the most coveted honor is the "Employee of the Month" award, and having one’s photo immortalized on the wall of fame in the staff lounge. Enter Zack Bradley and Vince Downey, two ultra competitive Super Club workers whose ten years of employment have resulted in drastically different career paths. While Vince–with the aid of his trusty sidekick Jorge–has advanced to become head cashier and winner of 17 consecutive "E of M" awards, Zack is the ultimate slacker whose scruffy appearance and laid back attitude has made him popular with his colleagues, but kept him stuck in the lowly ranks of the store’s box boys. The duo’s longtime rivalry comes to a bitter head when Amy–a beautiful new cashier with a reputation of only dating "Employee of the Month" winners–transfers to the store, immediately becoming the object of both Zack and Vince’s affection and often comical gamesmanship. While Vince instantly impresses Amy with his crowd pleasing, flamboyant style behind his checkstand register, Zack’s feeble attempts to charm his beautiful new co-worker quickly backfire against him. With the race to win Amy’s affections slipping away, Zack determines his only chance rests in winning the store’s next "Employee of the Month" award.
Conclusion: Yeah, it was funny… but wait for DVD
