Back To Normality!

After a few days off, I'm back on to day shifts today - thank God! My sleep pattern has been so messed up. As well as having to get back into a normal sleep pattern, I also had the fact that the clocks went back an hour on Saturday, which didn't really help things! Anyway, I think I'm just about back into a normal pattern. Let's hope so anyway.

Sunday and Monday were the worst. I found myself waking nice and early on Sunday morning, only to fall back asleep and wake up at 5pm on Sunday evening! Needless to say I was awake all night and found myself awake until about 2pm on Monday afternoon - crazy!! If I'm wide awake too, I can't lie in bed hoping that I'll drift off. As a result I found myself cleaning at ridiculous times in the morning!

I was also messing around on the computer. Many of you know I love the music of the band Texas. It's been a while since they have released anything, but when they last released an album, one if the tracks was called Getaway. On the b-side to this single was a cool acoustic version. I edited the video for the original video to fit around the acoustic version. It took me a few hours - only to find someone had beat me to it - D'oh! Ah well, it kept me amused. You can see the result below.....

Almost Over!

Two more night shifts to go at work and I'm all done on nights until February! Saying that, they haven't been a bad set of nights. Lets hope the remaining ones are the same! I had to go to uni last night, so it meant only 2 hours sleep for me yesterday morning when I finished. Needless to say I was pretty wrecked last night and eventually fell asleep at 2300. I've been awake since 0600 this morning. I'm hoping I'll feel a little bit tired in a couple fo hours or so. I'll definitley be needing more sleep today if I'm wanting to get through tonight!

In other things, I came across this video last night. It's for Melanie C's new track "This Time'. Could it be her last solo track?? It's out now, so like the other 2 sigles she's released, it'll probably go un-noticed! I think it's a pretty cool track :)

Night Shifts

Meh - It's my turn on the rota at work to be on nights for 2 weeks. I normally like to work Monday to Thursday, but because I'm at uni on a Tuesday now they are all split. Hopefully nights won't be too busy. I was working last night and it was a pretty nice shift. Next week I've asked for the weekend off. It's one thing doing night shift, but working it when the clocks go back?? Do I look that stupid??!!

Modern Technology!

I took myself into town today because I needed to upgrade some software on my mac. I went to the Apple shop in Manchester and got what I needed and went to the check out to pay. When I got there I thought that it was odd just to have one till. It wasn't until I had been standing there for about 5 mins that a girl came over to me and asked if she could take my items. I then noticed that all the staff in the Apple shop had their own scanners and chip and pin systems attached to them and she scanned my item and I paid by card while still waiting in the queue! What really shocked me was that I didn't get a reciept, she took my email address and it was waiting in my inbox when I got home! I was well impressed!!

Update On Things!

It's been a week or so since I last update, so I just thought I'd do a quick one! Since my last post, I went back up to Newcastle to see some family for a few days. It was good to catch up. Was also my dads birthday so we all went out for a meal. Newcastle changes everytime I go back. It's quite scary really.

I've also started back up at uni again. The module that I am doing this time it all about ethics. Sounds like it's going to be quite difficult, but interesting at the same time. I only have one more module to do and then my dissertation. Soon, it'll all be over!! Well, July 2009 it'll all be over!

I've spent most of the day today in bed. I was out for my mates 25th birthday last night and was a little worse for wear this morning. It's been the first time in a long time that I've woken up with a hangover. My mate introduced me to Morgans Spiced. I think I have found my new best drink!! We were out of it before we got in the taxi to go into town!!

I've got a nice few days off work at the moment. I go onto night shift for a couple of weeks soon!! :( Luckily, I'm not doing nights the weekend the clocks go back!!
