My week off work, oh god how I wish I had another.

I finished work on Thursday the 18th of October, that was my last work day. I had the Friday off and then I had the whole of next week and will not return to work until the 29th of October. That is a whole lot of time off work, I get about 20 days of holiday a year, so far I've just taken off a few days here and there. But I had quite a lot going on so I decided I needed a week, so here is what I've done.

Friday was my do stuff day, I got my hair cut, booked a long overdue dentist appointment and got a few last minute donations for my Extra Life charity event which would take place the next day. The event itself started off strong, I was supposed to start at 6am, but I woke up at 4am so said fuck it and just started at 4am. I played through the Pirate DLC from Borderlands 2, was a great piece of DLC, even though i decided to do that before finishing the main game. In the main game right now I've just rescued Roland so I'm early. I then was about to play some N64, but during me starting up Doom 64 it broke on me, I wrote a lengthy two part blog that starts here and ends here.

Most of the day had been revolved around me playing on the system, so it breaking was a terrible outcome. I ended up borrowing my sisters 360 and playing through the 360 version of Banjo-Kazooie. Banjo-Kazooie is my favourite game of all time, the 360 version is the best version of the game, apart from I really like the N64 controller and don't much care for the 360 controller. I managed to beat it in 5 hours 10 minutes, my fastest play through which made my day. After that I flicked between multiple games but never finding one that I wanted to play, I made it 18 hours in before I gave in. I had a huge headache, felt nauseous and no game could hold my interest. I would like to thank Sang Lee for being my one and only donation, I am sorry that I didn't beat it but PM me on the site and I will send you a fantastic video game pick up line!

So the following day I spent a good time not playing games, I played a bit of Pokemon White 2 and Theme Hospital but other than that a good chilled day. Because on Monday I would be heading up to Swindon and spending time with my best friend who moved away, I had to go to through London by myself and the underground to get there, But I made it and it turned out fine, I got very drunk and also did a nice bit of shopping. I came home Tuesday night and pretty much went straight to sleep,

Wednesday involved me sitting around for a majority of the day and watching Lost, I'm currently on season 3 3/4's of the way through. Thursday was me getting ready, because that evening my dad, mum and sister went away to Disneyland Florida and do not come back till next Friday. I'm not going on the account that my last trip I ended up fainting on the flight back and ended up in hospital. I was also in a wheelchair for a while going there and coming back, so I still need a little more time before I fly. Well on Friday I had a party that evening with friends from work. I bought food and drink for 14 people but only 4 people turned up, so well you can picture the leftover pizza the next morning fuck yes!

Saturday revolved around me sitting around on my sofa watching the Tested crew and there Octoberkast. I did watch a great deal of it, but fell asleep towards the end so I'll have to catch the rest later on. Then comes today, the end of my week off, I'm going to start a LEGO build, play some Borderlands 2, drink some tea and go and have dinner with my nan. Then before you know it...

Back to work.

I was feeling like I needed a break from work to.... so I quit my job.... two weeks later of not working at all and I was in a job making twice as much! Win win for me. haha. Taking vacations are good from time to time though, they never last as long as they should.

I work at a call center doing tech support for smart phones and right now it's so dead I honestly can't recall the last time I got a full days work in. They keep doing mandatory home earlys about half way through your shift. A few weeks back I just said screw it and went to part time. Now I only work Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Don't know how long I can stay like this so I'm trying to use this time to burn through my backlog of games. It's nice having all the free time again, but come pay day it really sucks.

@matthias2437: I know, really looking forward to my next week.

@crusader8463: I work full time average about 7:45-5:30 weekdays then weekends off. Pays alright but could be better as always. I work in a nursery looking after one and half year olds.

I'm finding myself singing alot and dancing about in my underwear, pretty good life.
