As some of you may know, I’m trying to raise some money for a charity I’ve been involved with for a while I origionally became aware of Hope and Homes for Children via my friend Claire, who works in their Nothern Support Office.
A fair while ago whilst visiting Claire she got me to sign up to do a Trek raising money for HHC. Well I’ve sat on my arse and not done much charity fund raising so far… but that’s all about to change. To start things off I’ve registered a page on JustGiving.com. I’ve got a few other things planned, and a few nice people have said that they are willing to help me raise my target of £3000.
I’ve now been given my finish date for VIS Entertainment. My last day should be on the 27th October. I will be heading out for the usual few drinks. Venue to be decided. I’ll post here once I know
Well if you’ve read the previous post you’ll be right in thinking I wasn’t happy. A lot has gone on over the last few weeks so I’ll try and place it all together in the correct order.
So yeah, the girl. I really like her, still, but I’m sure that nothing is going to happen. To be honest I’ve been a bit of twat so I need to take steps to address that. Her saying no to my request for a date was the thing that pissed me off the most and started my thoughts of quitting. It really is most annoying that in the 6 years I’ve been in Dundee the first person that I’ve *really* liked said no. We did agree just to be friends, and since then I’ve been on a few nights out with her, and seen her pull a few times. It really annoys me, but I know I don’t have a right to be annoyed at all. I think I need to say a few things to her to clear the air, or at least get some things off my chest. Then I guess I’ll just have to use her as a vector into her friends 
After being hot headed for a couple of weeks, I finally plucked up courage and handed in my notice with no clear plan of what to do. I handed my notice in a week and a half ago now… a leaving date still hasn’t been set, although work have said that they don’t want me to work longer than the required months notice.
Last week I spoke to Chief Inspector Fred Hall over at the Scottish Police College regarding the Advance Promotion Scheme for Graduates. Turns out the applications had to be in on Friday the 15th. So I spent a couple of nights running around like a fool to get my application into Tayside police via CI Hall.
I’ve had a few good nights out and I’ll put links up to the pictures later today… In the mean time they can be found in the gallery. Time to pop for the Nether for a cuppa 
Below is a post I’d written but decided not to post until now…
Yes it’s obviosuly that time of year again, or they have started shoving something into the water. Once more I’m feeling trapped and the need to run… and you know what this time I’m going to do it*. Yesterday I asked work to investigate the possibility of a sabbatical. If they turn around and say “No!” then I’m just going to quit. I’ve already decided and made up my mind. A nice little three month break. Some volunteer work, do those jobs I’ve been meaning to do around the flat, perhaps some travelling.
Actually it’s not the water or time of year, it’s from once more getting the cold shoulder from a girl and it just pissed me off. So time to run away from it all and hide my head in the sand for a little while to “re-evaluate”. I get the distinct impression that I’m not on my own here. I spoke to my mate Nick and he said the same. For heavens sake even my mum said she wanted to “get away from it all, for a month or so”. Heck it seems that a lot of 20 somethings feel the same way.
So yeah I probably shouldn’t write this here yet since I haven’t heard back from work… but what the hell. What’s the worst that can happen?
*Hopefully
