Today, there was snow...Christmas is coming.

It snowed today, reminding us all that Christmas is on its way! Usually the people of England have to wait for the coca cola advert with the big red truck before anyone feels festive! But this year we had some snow before the big day!

They say that to dream about clean pure snow signifies a fresh start. I don't have to have a whip round to guess we could all do with one of those. So christmas is coming up and after that it'll be 2010. Oh and don't forget, according to the mayans the worlds all supposed to end by 2012! So what are you going to do with this new start? Hows your life going to go from now on? Any new years resolutions?

Lets take a look back at the world of 09...

January 20th 2009 sees the inaugeration of the 44th but 1st African American president of the United states of america.

Launching from Cape Carnival Air Force station, florida USA, KEPLER the space Photometer has gone to search for Extrasolar planets in the Milky Way Galaxy on March the 7th.

April 21st UNESCO gives us the WORLD DIGITAL LIBRARY (WDL)Making it possible to to discover, learn about and enjoy cultural treasures from around the world!

June 25th marks the loss of world renown Michael Jackson and from July to September Sweden takes presidency of the European Union, the indigenous people of Bolivia can govern themselves and world leaders announce G-20 will grow and replace G-8's role to prevent another financial crisis.

October to December Europeans discover 32 exoplanets, NASA finds "Significant" water in the moons "Cabeus Crater" and the mouthful that is UNFCCC holds a climate change conference.

I'm pretty sure there's a bunch more stuff, but trust me there's a LOT of bad news! Instead of depressing you, I'm going to try and give you hope for the times ahead.

Take all the good you can from this year and take it with you to next year. The goods always lighter to carry than the bad =]Good luck with your new start =]

Working 9-5...well...till six actually.

I work in a restaurant. This means I do not do, and or have no control over certain things. For instance, Sir...or Madam...


I do not write the prices. Neither mine nor your opinion can change the price on the sticker in the next five minutes, or while I serve you. This is not because I have sold my soul to my workplace manager board and am therefore a monster. It is merely because I am the Saturday boy.

Yes. We will run out of teaspoons from time to time. I try my best to make sure this does not happen to you. If this does happen to you, no I do not expect you to have to stir it with your finger. And no I do not expect you to swish it around by the handle until the sugar dissolves. Because then I have to clear up the hot drink you spill, whilst you tell me you swished it to prove your point. I will try to get you some more teaspoons. This takes over five seconds, and yes you can fit the word Mississippi between saying those numbers.

I am not allowed to kill anyone. That is why I let you moan. It is not your right to do so. If there is a problem you may explain it and even make a formal complaint I honestly will try my best to help you. I do however understand your decision not to write up a formal account and just shout at me instead, seeing as the problem was you and your entire family could not eat your meals because there was no salad cream. I would not want that read back to me either.

Yes. I saw you do that. Please don’t do that. It embarrassed both of us. I wish I hadn’t seen.

I cannot let you have something for free if the scanner does not pick it up.


I did not, nor do I have the power to, do the following things before you reached my till:

• Fill up the Argos queue with people
• Fill up all the parking spaces
• Make your shopping heavy
• Convince your child to be naughty
• Raid your bank account
• Make it hot
• Make it rain
• Design time length for parking tickets

• Buy everything you want in other shops so that you couldn’t have them and therefore had to come here

• Lose your purse/wallet
• Get your bank cards cancelled
• Design the knives and forks
• Catch the fish myself


If I tell you that you will find teabags in the tea pots, and you find the teapot without one I have not tried to sell you water. The person before you has snabbed an extra teabag. I did not tell them to do this. I will get you a teabag.

I hope this helps you dear customer, to understand MY predicament. Now, enjoy your meal, and please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

12:47 on a friday morning

I work in a restaurant. It’s a small job but the pay covers my college fees. In a job like mine where hundreds of people are just flowing past you start to learn something about people, about life, and experiences.

I go to a college. I’m in an IT course that should guarantee a good future. In a course like mine where you work with people, for people, to help the world’s people, you learn a few things. You learn about people, life and experiences.

I go to a church. I sit in the chairs always feeling like I should be up the front. In a church like mine, where you work with people, for people, to help the world’s people, you learn a few things. You learn about people, life and experiences.

In all of these places, including the ones I haven't yet mentioned and the ones too come; I have learned one reoccurring lesson.

The world is mad.

I look forward to writing this blog.
