Where'd July go?

Life

I'm serious. What happened to July? Where did it go? I think maybe I missed it because of the constant downpour of rain that the UK has had. I really feel sorry for all those folks who have had their homes and stuff flooded. Thankfully in Brum everything was just greyer and wetter than normal.

Truth be told, I think the whole month vanished because I've basically been working, and when not doing that, doing something else like gaming or housegroups or something. Busy busy. Although for all my busyness, I've been getting in trouble at work for not performing as well as I could do. This made me reconsider whether or not I'd made the right choice being there. It came to a head when I'd got two of my bosses giving me a lengthy talk. Upsetting and annoying as it was I tried to carry on regardless and prayed for clarity over the situation. Stay, or go?

This week my numbers for certain targets have zoomed off the scale! This at least ensures I'm not in trouble this week. I'm not sure if this implies I should stay there, but I think it's a fairly good sign. If this continues I can take it that it's meant to be. However, even after 8 or so months I get mixed feelings about working there. I know I don't want to be there forever, but a job's a job. I'll still be updating my CV just in case, since I don't think an electricals salesmans fits me in the long run.

So, what else have I been up to? Well, I went to see Transformers on the day of it's UK release. As I predicted, big robots fighting was very cool. It wasn't the movie I was expecting, it was better! It does have its bad points too, but there are too many good ones to counteract them. Whoohoo!

In other news, me and Bexs are in our second month of trying out a new financial system. So far, it's working really well and I'm hoping I'll be able to start saving up for nice things soon and pay off some debts. Saving is good. It means nice things like PS3's. And holidays, and so on.

Videogames

I've been getting quite into a few games recently. The first is obvious- Final Fantasy XI Online. A few weeks back me and some linkshell (or guild) buddies went on a drive to unlock some of the trickier jobs, such as Ninja and Samurai. I've always had a soft spot for Samurai since trying it last time as my Tarutaru character, so I gave it a go once more. I'd forgotten how much fun it was! I think I'll be sticking this job out, unlike some of the others I've tried. I've currently got it to level 24, which is now my second highest job after Monk, which is 30. I have a feeling Samurai will overtake Monk to become my 'main' job. Which is fine with me. Katana are awesome!

The second game I've got quite into is Kingdom Hearts 2. It's very cool, mixing Disney visuals with Square- Enix twisty plot. I've not too far into the game but Methinks it's going to be a fun ride. ^^

Well, that's me for now. I'll try and update this again soon, for the benefit of all you lot. Byee!
