These past two days have been kind of boring. Been playing battlefield quite a bit. Other than that, been getting up late and hardly doing anything the whole day.
Went to check out some new cars for my aunt today. Nothing special. I don't know anything about them. *sigh* I gotta find something to blog about other than my boring days spent at home doing nothing all the time.

Semester 2
Uni started again on Monday. Its kind of weird going back to uni and not having to work. It must be really quiet at work or something. Either that or they figured they can do without me now :) Oh well.
Anyway, onto uni. Psychology this semester is probably going to be the most interesting out of all the psychology subjects I've taken so far. We've only had an introductory lecture, but still....
Interactive system design actually looks a little interesting too. While the lecture notes aren't really that great (they're in html without any formatting for some weird reason), hopefully the content will be interesting.
The other subjects are IS. I don't think they'll be TOO interesting, but should be ok.
I've also got 2 days off uni. This is like the second time I've ever had days off uni. I think I'm going to turn into more of a bum than I am already :(

21sts
After work on Friday, I was feeling really anti social, so Dave's 21st was kinda a bit of a sit around eat kind of thing. I didn't even drink because I drove. The speeches were good however.
Saturday night was Sabz'. Well... at least I got to drink.

Another long day
Yes, work, again.
Made a personal record today, almost 300 calls. AHhahaahahah.
Granted this was over a 10 hour shift (with an hour of breaks scattered here and there), giving an average time of around 2 minutes a call. Pretty funny. However, due to people being sick, we're still very busy and stuff, so more work tomorrow.
I'm bored, this blog is boring. Maybe I'm boring. *sigh*

Work, again
Half the people seem to be sick today. Well, at least half the people at work and the people I call as well. Either that or they've just pulled sickies. Doesn't really matter for us casuals though. If we're not there, we just don't get paid. Fair enough really.
So out of the people who were sick we had the team leader, the senior rep, and two of the other people who help me do the stuff I needed to do. That just about eliminated everyone that could even possibly help me. Inevitably, I got asked to do some 'extra time'. Its not called overtime because we don't actually get paid any extra for it. Not only that, I also got stuck with a bit of the admin work as well. Granted there wasn't exactly much, but it was the first time I'd done it before, so even though I knew it happened, it was still new. So in the end, we're way behind schedule and seriously need to do some hardcore catching up. I'm just glad thats not my responsibility.
Chances are we'll be short staffed tomorrow as well. Yup, seriously screwed.
After I got back home and ate, I watched some telly. Some shows have started their new seasons just recently, and they look to be rippas. I don't think I'll bother going through them. Can't be bothered at the moment.

Do lions pur?
Purrhaps, purrhaps not
Shamelessly ripped from a combination of The Sydney Morning Herald and my somewhat crazy sense of humour tonight.
For those of you who are really curious, yes they do, when they exhale.

A day out with da ladies
Went out for Helga's Birthday today. We just all trooped down to the nearby city to have lunch. I only realised on the way down that I'd be the only guy with a fairly large bunch of girls. It was kind of weird, but okay I guess. Just.. weird. It just inflates my own notion of being some kind of pimp.
I was with Olga, and we were late, but thats kind of expected these days. There were people even an hour or later. Then there was somebody who said she was 5 minutes away, and then somehow decided she wasn't going to come anymore. I found that a little weird.
The place wasn't that great, and the food was somehow ridiculously expensive, but otherwise okay. I think most of us had a good time. We did the whole Asian thing where theres a whole bunch of dishes and we all share. However, their medium dishes were really small, and their large dishes were kind of... small... We didn't actually get any 'small' dishes, but I can only imgaine how big (or small) they would have been.
After a whole series of confusion, we all trooped around to go have dessert, which was nice. Too much chocolate and several minutes spent agonising over the bill later, we all went home. Olga decided to buy the new Harry Potter book on the way after changing her mind about... 3 times during the trip. Bought it in the end though, so I guess tonight and tomorrow will be spend reading that...

Few things to say
1. Banged up Ford Lasers from the 1990s with a huge exhaust and simulated turbo are so NOT in.
2. Blue National Buses are really really similar and definately look like Ventura Buses
3. Had a good time tonight at a bar with work buddies.
4. Bus rides home with nothing to do suck.
5. I don't seem to get as bad asthma around smokers now.

Fi cracked the &^%@ at me again today
Yeah. I dunno whats up with that. Obviously we're not as close as we used to be. Guess it happens to everyone though. Drifting apart that is. She thinks I'm lazy, I think she's lazy, ridiculous and hypocritical. Maybe its to do with our diverging beliefs.
Its stupid, because every time she cracks it, she comes back to me later and apologises because apparently it was a bad day or whatever. I just figure a simple solution to it all: get a grip on your temper.

Confidence with a capital err... A
I've been meaning to do some sort of meaningful post for a while now, but things have been taking up my time. Well... not really 'things' as such, its more like just Battlefield 2. I think I play it way too much. Not nearly as much as some people, but still quite a lot. Anyway, so here goes.
con·fi·dence
n.
1. Trust or faith in a person or thing.
2. A trusting relationship: I took them into my confidence.
3. a. That which is confided; a secret: A friend does not betray confidences.
b. A feeling of assurance that a confidant will keep a secret: I am telling you this in strict confidence.
4. A feeling of assurance, especially of self-assurance.
5. The state or quality of being certain: I have every confidence in your ability to succeed.
Shamelessly ripped from Dictionary.com.
Hwang (2005) suggests the female half of the species likes to see confidence in the male half.
Actually, I can't be stuffed finishing this off.
Basically, I don't like arrogant people.

Thats all!
It always seems to be every couple of days now that I update my blog. I don't really have any kind of excuse, I have heaps of free time during the night. I guess its just because I just want to play battlefield instead.
Anyhoo - Stuff thats been happening:
- Got paid today
- Went to see Batman Begins last night. It was actually HEAPS better than I expected! Definately recommended and worth the $5.25 I paid for it (Yeah it was tight arse Tuesday).
- Umm... I can't really remember anything that happened before that... Just work and err... stuff.

The weekend!
Friday I had work. I was only actually asked to go in for a half day. I spent all of Thursday night playing Diablo 2, so the alarm didn't work and I was late. But there was a whole heap of work to do, and they asked me to stay later. I didn't really mind since I had nothing else to do.
It was even worse when I got home. I was really really really bored. Rob was trying to pursuade me to go and buy battlefield 2 because I had nothing else to do. Then I got asked to do a home delivery, so that settled it. I went over to the local Dick Smith's and got myself a copy. As a side thought, I also got a book for myself to read on the bus on the way to work and back. All I've usually been doing on the way is just sleeping. I'm not sure which one is better, because I don't feel any better after sleeping on the bus.
So... I spent a lot of time playing Battlefield this weekend. Its kind of fun. Look for a review on MSCG soon. The only other thing I did was go out to watch War of the Worlds. It was actually better than expected. Aliens invading earth has never been an easy thing to make a movie about, but Speilberg did a pretty good job. I'll try not to spoil anything so all I'll say is this: It was really intense throughout most of the movie, but it had a pretty dull ending.
