Diary of an up and coming sociopath

On Friday I went out at lunchtime for a meal with Garry, Dipesh, Lyndon and Steve from work. This was to celebrate the fact that the Travel team had, to use the correct jargon , totally buttraped the revenue target for this quarter. We went to Signor Zilli which, as I understand it, is run by one of the guys off Celebrity Fit Club, though because I don’t watch TV like that I can’t really comment on the accuracy of that statement. It was a damn expensive place, and thus far greater for the fact that it was the company was paying. Mainly because I knew I should choose something I liked, I went for the Cod, though to be fair I’m not sure it was very good. It’s hard to say. When I eat somewhere expensive I can’t tell if I don’t like it because it’s been cooked differently than I’m used to (that is to say, properly) or because it is actually bad. I dunno. Is fish supposed to have like…a crumbly texture? I dunno. The chips were great, though, can’t go wrong with chips. Just seems like a waste to give food of that quality to me, though.

Since Nikki was away, I also ate out on Thursday. These days I’m far more likely to do that because as I may have mentioned, my credit card and overdraft are basically fading memories, plus there’s the extra income from my second job to look forward to, so all in all I’m able to dispose of some of that income once in a while.

I won’t let money change me though. I do still enjoy a good sit around at the weekend. Ideally playing Tetris DS, which I bought on Friday and would’ve played solid if I didn’t force some control over myself. By christ, it’s a good game. So good, I just did a nice Tetris DS review for NTS. In addition to my comics reviews, which I always like to talk about. Those two reviews in themselves represent another £40 of income disposed of this week, though I did have a tenner off at Virgin Megastore so it’s a little less worse than it seems. Plus I get paid on Tuesday and I’m just enjoying the novelty of being in the black at the end of the month. I should probably come up with a proper saving scheme now that my income is likely to go significantly above my spending…
