I was walking about the town earlier with a few guys from work when we neared a sandwich shop that the guys wanted to visit. As we approached, I peered in to see if it was busy, even though I was going to another shop just up the street when two girls exited. One, blonde and gorgeous, stepped out and I caught her eye by accident and she gave me a HUGE smile. Feeling rather chuffed with myself, I ambled up the road and bought my own sandwich. When the guys rejoined me, one of the guys (renowned as a bit of a ladies man) was very excited.
"Man, did you see the way that girl practically fucked you with her eyes?"
Why, yes. Yes I did. I'd love to get that look when I'm out and about socially, not in the middle of town when I can't approach her!
Still... it put a spring in my step for the rest of the afternoon.

Inner reflection II
I had a bit of a revelation last weekend. I need to get out of the house more. Over the past two months, I've done pretty much nothing during the week apart from go to work, come home and veg out in front of the telly or the PC of an evening then get up the next morning and repeat. This is partly why I've been in a "meh" mood recently.
It doesn't matter what I do, I think, I just need to get out of the house for a bit during the week - cinema, pub quiz, meet friends any of this will do. With the good weather here, I will make more of an effort to do fun stuff at night.

Mysterious girl...
Work is deteriorating rapidly and gaining momentum and next week will be a pivotal week, I feel. However, I am in an amazing mood. The weather is fantastic and a trip around the shops earlier found me walking behind a rather slim, girl in a summer dress that was rather clingy around the ass, showing off a great set of legs in knee-high boots and vague hint of a g-string (which probably explains why it was a little clingy around the posterior). I've no idea what she looked like - she could have been the least attractive woman in the world or a supermodel. Sadly, I'll never know, but the sight of her slinking along the High Street has definitely given my libido a kick up the arse. A summertime kick-start, if you will.
So have a picture where I pretend this is the girl who was in front of me today.

The model above, while obviously a model and therefore very attractive, reminds me of Near Miss and Pretty Blonde - slim, nice figure, pretty. Near Miss was wearing something similar the night we hooked up, including the g-string, but strappy shoes instead of boots.

Inner reflection
Things have been interesting, from a self-examination perspective, not for any other reason.
Work is still pants. I like the actual work, but the dealing with people is proving tiresome. Everything that's not my core job is much more effort and trouble than it should be.
Either way, that's not why I'm blogging. DSC and myself went out for a drink a few nights ago and eventually we got around to talking about why I was single and my recent online dating experiences (and lack thereof). I explained (as I've already stated on here) that it's been ages since I was last attracted to someone... really attracted to someone. That was RB which was, what, almost three years ago?
Three years. Christ. Anyway, I was telling DSC about the mutual friend with M's fiance - a tall, sexy, intelligent girl who I get along with, and she's someone I feel I should like, but there's no 'spark'. If I were to sit down and make a list of the things I'd like in a partner, she'd tick most of them. She suggested I should maybe try anyway with this girl, but even if dating was on the cards, I'd feel guilty about going on a date when there was no kick of attraction.
On a semi-related note, the same thing can be said about KfW2. She's very much a girl I should be attracted to - the box ticking thing I talk about above applies here as well. Recently, we've been getting along famously. Nothing will ever happen because she's currently in a relationship, but also because I directly work with her and to a lesser extent, because she has a kid.
But DSC's words have started me thinking. Should I start poking about to see if this blonde girl is thinking about entering the dating market again? Part of me is thinking I should and that's not like me at all.

The busy social life of ruuude
An interesting few days. Work is still a pain in the ass, but everything that's going wrong is not my fault, so I can relax and just try and do the best that I can.
We had a work night out yesterday that was really good fun. KfW2 and myself are getting along brilliantly, which is still a cause for some bemusement on my part given that I think she didn't actually like me not that long ago. We were swapping banter all last night, even when our respective groups of friends ended up in different bars.
JB and myself continue our banter/flirting. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I won't be making any moves there. She's a really good looking girl, but she's really high maintenance in terms of what she wants from a man. A mutual acquaintance seems to have the hots for her though, and I am amused to watch him in action, especially when JB and I are close and she ends up sitting on my lap or with our arms around each other. I get the feeling he doesn't like me that much!
Finally, two mutual friends of ours had split up months ago and tried to remain friends. We all knew this was going to end in disaster, and boy did it ever last night. This is all still happening, so I'll wait until it all calms down before posting about it in more detail. I am amused by it though... there's an awful lot of stupidity on show.
I'm meeting M tonight for pints. Hopefully his fiance will be there too. I was talking to a mutual friend last night - a really pretty tall blonde girl - I think I've mentioned her on the blog before, laying some ground work for the future, so if M's fiance is out, then I can do more ground work.

Another lazy digest.
Another all-in-one digest because, if I'm being honest, I'm not really in the mood to blog a lot these days. Mostly that's the current frustrations with work, even though things are much better than they were four weeks ago. I'm still not 100% happy though and this is why I'm really not happy about going back to work tomorrow after a few days off.
I'm still way behind on my fitness goals too - the Achilles problem is still there because I still haven't sorted the physiotherapy. I've also had a few twinged with my back, unrelated I think to the Achilles thing, but frustrating nonetheless. I must put it on my "to do" list for this week.
Socially, things have been good. Just this week we had St. Patrick's Day which was great fun and just last night, there was a night out in a club (not a usual venue for me) for a leaving do. It was a friend of a friend, but I had a good night including meeting a really nice girl - another friend of a friend. If only I were ten years younger... she was really just my type. There have been a few other nights out and there are a few in the near future to look forward to.
In terms of contact from friends, QC1 and QC2 have been very quiet despite some emails from me. I'd like to see them again, so I guess it's something else for the list this week.
So, not a lot has changed and I still have a bit to do over the next few months. It'll keep me busy if nothing else.

A rather large digest. Maybe. Unless I get bored halfway through.
I realise that it's been ages since I last posted anything... almost three weeks, in fact. It's not that I haven't had anything to say, but rather that I've been busy and, for the firs time in my life, stressed out about something.
That something is work. I've been given my own project to do and I'm doing it to the best of my ability (and quite pleased with the results so far) but I'm being let down by people further up the food chain than me, meaning everything is a struggle and there have been more than one sleepless night as a result. Suffice to say, for this reason alone, I haven't posted anything and generally just arrived home from work and have ended up vegging in front of the telly or reading a book in order to try and keep my mind off the horrors of what's happened between 9AM and 5PM.
Secondly, the house is causing grief. The untidy flatmate is still causing grief around here, despite not living here for three months. A recent electricity bill is £50 more than it was this time last year (and there were three of us last year) and the previous bill was, until recently, unpaid. That meant a visit from the electricity company, armed with a court order to gain access to the premises where they fitted a PAYG meter and fucked the front door lock. My flatmate broke his key in it just this evening. This is all going to come back to bite us on the arse when we eventually move out. We're meant to be looking at new places to live tonight on property webistes, but as I type this, I've just heard my flatmate leave the house. I've no idea when he'll be back.
The current flatmate is annoying me with regards this recent electricity bill. He has a habit of having every single light in the house on as much as possible and our recent home "improvements" mean we finally have house lights on the ground floor. Obviously, as a result, this means the current flatmate has all of the lights on when possible, so we've gone from having two (40W) table lamps on during the evening to almost twenty (50W) spots. It doesn't take a genius to recognise that this will use a lot more electricity, but he seems to be looking for other reasons for this spike.
There are a few other things to say, though less annoying (and less interesting) than the above. I've been out and about socially over the past few weeks, which was good fun. M got engaged and has invited me to the wedding later this year. I finally went to my GP about my injury from last year and I've been referred for physiotherapy, so I need to get that started. Then I can get into gear with my fitness and weight loss goal (I want to lose about 28lb before the end of the summer). Finally, the PoF experiment that DSC was running kinda petered out with no results... after about three days when she gave up on it!
I'm amazed I've sat here for the fifteen minutes it's taken me to compose the post and type it out. Things must be pretty bad or pretty good to vent this much in type!

Yay!
I got my laptop back today! Hurrah! I'm not 100% happy as the internal part wasn't actually to blame at all, but the power supply. That's a much cheaper part than £80. The repair guy said that the internal part does look like its on its last legs though, so there's still a potential £80 repair on the horizon.

More work issues.
I did not sleep one second of one minute last night. My recent work issues were still a problem to a certain extent and I simply couldn't stop going over two or three different things in work that were causing me grief.
I've honestly never felt anything like it... my heart was pounding, even reading wasn't any help and I was tossing and turning all night long.
I was up super early this morning and was in work, sorting out as much as I could. I had a quick chat with KfW who suggested I talk to my boss again. It was good advice, so I got a quick word with him when he arrived and we got things sorted again. I was certainly a lot happier after the chat than I was beforehand and was able to get a lot done this afternoon with a little help from some team-mates.
I was, however, fighting sleep all day and I only made it to 5 PM without falling asleep due to large quantities of coffee, Red Bull and other assorted energy drinks. I kept zoning out during the afternoon, I had a splitting headache all day, my eyes were super dry and I kept taking dizzy spells. This was all because of sleep deprivation, I think (though, thinking about it, could have been due to the caffeine). Now I'm home and still trying to stay awake. I need to stay conscious until 10 PM I think so I can get a good night's sleep but not wake up too early.
Roll on the weekend!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
My bloody laptop has died! It looks like it's an internal part and could be about £80 to get fixed. Small price to pay though as it's an excellent laptop, bought at a bargain price.
