  • Long and hot

    It has been a very long very hot day.And it is not over yet.It has been a mixture of good and bad,upsets and annoyances balanced out with good things.

    The bad first I think.
    Anyone that has ever read my debate blog knows how I feel about prejudice.And one of my most featured topics is that of Homophobia. So today I was more than a little upset to find a friend of mine had been beaten in a Homophobic attack. My friend is a lovely guy,tall and elegant. Totally harmless he wouldn`t hurt a fly ( No literally he wouldn`t he catches them and puts them outside! )  He went out for a drink with a friend and got jumped when he came out of the pub.

    Now I know I said my friend wouldn`t hurt a fly. And he would  never start a fight either he would rather walk away. The thing is he is a bit handy if he gets in one. Something that his attackers will not have known. He is trained in self defence and several marshall arts and has been in the Army as well. I saw the state of him this afternoon and believe me  I would hate to see what the other guy/s looks like!

    He is not as bad as he looks ( he says) but he does look quite bad. Still he will get a few free drinks out of the shiner he is sporting. Its the cut down the cheek that is bothering him most. It really is a good job that this guy knows how to handle himself because they guy that attacked him was armed with a stanley knife. My friend said it seemed to make the other guys angry when he laughed at the weapon this guy produced. And knowing him he probably came out with something related to his manhood,or lack of it. But he seems ok even if inside he is seething at being attacked by strangers merely for being himself.

    So to the good.
    Erm,well I cleared a clients debts off,which is normal isn`t it as that is my job. He was pleased but then I did save him well over six grand on nine grands worth of debt.

    I will have a new desk on monday as they are moving my department downstairs where it is quieter and where I can work without the constant interuption of people shouting across the room wanting me to talk to clients they have on the phone. And of course it is designed to help me concentrate more.

    Right now I am too hot to think of anything I need a shower and some food,or maybe just a shower;)

  • Another one bites the dust.

    Ok so here I am with assignment done, dusted and on its way. Next assignment is due in a week so no respite here and then I have another assignment and a midterm Then another assignment and my main exam. I dont even have a respite over the winter as I have a short three month complementary to do. No rest for the wicked they say,guess I was pretty evil in my last life. Either that or I am chasing rainbows in this one. I keep telling myself that it will be worth it in the end,except right now I dont see no end.
    Anyway it is another beautiful day,with promises of it breaking tomorrow guess we better make the most of it because as we all know once it starts raining that means its british summertime for real;)  I was hoping to go see some friends over the next couple of months but with so much work on looks like that aint happening. Maybe I could sneak in a weekend somewhere to go see my friend Debs when she finally gets into her new house by the seaside. but I am not holding my breath. Apart from the time factor with so much to do there is of course the money factor but once I win the lottery this weekend that wont be a problem;)
