Journal Of Dave

We finally have the internet again, I am finally working albeit temporarily and Emma has a job interview tomorrow, all is okay for once. We shall see. I haven't got much to say, so I won't say much. 

Just had a phone call... We could be in tonight!!! *does the happy dance*

We have found our flat it's a small thing in edgbaston but it sure as hell beats one room in a shared house. Our own bathroom, living room and kitchen! We move in either wednesday or thursday depending on when the estate agents get our references. 

For all you birmingham Shadowrun junkies I do already have a small campaign involving immortal elves, dragons and those oh so fun bugs planned out. All I need now are some players. 

Well I'm in York, for a city it's small and picturesque, very pretty indeed... I'm here because my partner and I are in transition between Southampton and Birmingham and the minor matter of her mother's 50th birthday celebrations. We have all our stuff packed into boxes, my Shadowrun collection now filling a box all to itself. I finally obtained the third of the books that should have cost me an arm and a leg, Harlequins Back has been like rocking horse shit since I started this mild obsession. Mind I haven't paid more than a tenner for any of the three. I paid £5 for Threats, and 99p for The Universal Brotherhood, only this one has cost me more than a fiver...

We travel to Leeds tomorrow to pick up a friend for the celebrations, as we are wedging my partner's birthday in as well apparently and I have no wish to see her alone on her birthday whilst everyone else pays attention to her mother, that wouldn't be right. After that on friday we view flats in Birmingham we have the money and we have the viewings. Strong possibility we'll start moving in on the Monday, especially as Emma starts work on Wednesday. Mind you we'll be sleeping on the floor for a few days...

Until then I have not much to occupy my time, given that all our stuff is packed away.

So it's my birthday tomorrow, and I'll be twenty eight. In two more years I'll be a thirty year old... and still a student. Although probably not here at southampton. Whilst it is considered the countries best uni for computer science, things have gotten difficult from a personal point of view, difficult enough to make me and my girlfriend want to move to Birmingham.

I've been ill recently an amazing medley of symptoms which would seem to suggest either kidney or thyroid problems. Or more likely depression. I had a blood test this morning and when I get the results next week I'll know which tablets I have to take. Tablety joy! or not...

Well I've got to go and do uni things.

I posted on this site and I haven't posted since. Time to change all that and update the world on the life and times of Del. I'm suddenly a student, in a long term relationship and looking to move into a flat with my partner at the end of june. 
What's the matter with Del? When did he get direction and purpose? I can hear the questions arise from those that once knew me and I care not. My direction and drive have manifested as a direct result of looking back at my life and realising it was going nowhere. I needed to change and change I did. Although I'm still unemployed, my work history blows and nobody wants me to work for them, I'm actively attempting to better my situation by studying for a Computer Science degree. 
All in all life is looking up, there's been some problems for my partner and I but we've come through them so far all smiles and kisses.

Yep, first post day, isn't it great, the thought that with a single post you can offend a fair chunk of the english speaking world. Those of you out there in cyberspace who know me know I'm unemployed, those who know me really well of which i think the total is none who are going to be reading this, know that I'm frequently down about my lack of work, money or semblance of a real life. To sum up I thought I'd share my boredom with you guys, see I do think of other people.
My average day runs something like this. I get up, I feed cat, I boot up computer, I sit at computer screen until it is time to go to bed, I go to bed, I get up etc. not the most interesting of days is it.
Hey a new thought comes to mind if I post the progress of my work hunt here then there is motivation to get of my arse and actually find a job..... it's a crazy idea but it just might work. So as of tomorrow I will be posting the results of my job search here, any progress i make will be noted and any failures also, wouldn't want to give a biased report now would I?
