…I’m so nervous right now. 36 different flavours and I still can’t enjoy them properly. Outrageous! But maybe it’s understandable. It’s the first day of my new job tomorrow, and Friday was thus my last day at IBM. I don’t think I’ve fully gathered yet that I’ll probably never go back there. It was a nice last day though, up until lunchtime I had plenty to do, and then I was quite occupied cleaning my workstation out, deleting browser history, temp files and cache. 2 gig, I’d collected since I started! And then, around 2pm, everyone gathered around and my boss held a little speech, which was very flatterinf but also quite awkward, at least for me. I go a card and some gifts, really nice actually. Wine and chocolate, a skin cream, a nice vase and a picture frame. I think they will all be used. In fact, I’ve already used almost all of the chocolate away.

So then my manager followed me to the door and I gave him my security badge and went on my merry way. Went to Tesco to do some shopping, did the mistake of taking a trolley instead of a basket so I couldn’t actually feel how much weight I was putting in there. But I managed to get home in the end, even if it was with sore shoulders and aching feet. And I did get to feel the joy of having a full frige for a few hours before I started cooking dinner for me and Kev. Steak and potato wedges with pepper corn sauce, nom nom nom! We both fell asleep pretty instantly after that, having contracted severe food coma.

On the Saturday, off we went to Glasgow to meet Kev’s parents and maybe find a kilt for him, which we did after a good search around all the shops, and after a very nice lunch, of course. And we also came across A1 Comics, which turned out to be a most wonderful place and I ended up buying the 4th of the Preacher comics, which I think is the next one I haven’t read. I think I’ve read no3, but I’m not entirely sure. It was very good anyway. Me and Kev were also gonna go see Drag me to Hell, but we missed the viewing we were going for du to excessive loitering and we couldn’t be bothered to go for the next one. It literally sold out while we were in the queue. So we went to HMV and Borders instead and I managed to buy a Hellboy animated movie and another William Gibson book while we were at it.

It was all in all very nice. Today has been nice as well. Kev’s parents came over to Greenock and we all went for a little outing to the garden centre in Gourock where I found Jelly Beans and r8 nice chocolate pralines. Not exactly what you’d imagine to find in a garden centre, eh? Oh and I’ll also took some pictures of carps that may or may not have turned out nice. I don’t have them here, so I don’t know. We’ll see. I’ll post them at a later time. When we were finished we went to get something to eat at Tokyo Joe’s, which was full of people and a bit noisy, but the food was very nice.

Me and Kev basically just collapsed wen we got back, it turned out to be quite a busy weekend after all. And since ten I’ve been trying my very best to come to terms with the fact that I’m starting my new job tomorrow and that it will go well. It just will. I’m both excited and nervous and it’s just gotten to a point where it’s mostly confusing and I just want to get the first nervous bit where I don’t know anyone and don’t know what to do overwith.Then I’ll be fine and dandy!

Let’s sleep on that!
