...paying salaries, paying bills, posting journal entries. One good thing - ATE a pizza. :D (I am doing all my favourites now, before I have to quit eating in the new year, and the way I'm going, I'll have a few extra pounds to lose next year) :(

Very little.

Organising some tools (maybe)
Putting two Cambridge Amps onto Ebay (maybe)
Cleaning my old wheels anbd putting them onto ebay (probably not - too cold to clean them)
Throwing all the old clothes I don't wear any more out (maybe)
Hanging some washing up (most likely)
Doing some more washing (most likely)
Doing the washing up (likely)
Eating (definitely)
Cleaning the inside of my windscreen (likely, it's a bit dangerous in low wintry sun)

Why are you not at work Brock?

Fuck I don't know. I just went and looked for them - they must be at my Dad's, so that's screwed that plan, anyway.

From memory they were 35W RMS (so quoted as about 60W a channel if they were Japanese!) and one buzzed in the left hand channel (slightly, a less picky fucker wouldn't even have noticed) and the other had reduced output on the right channel.

So I was going to repair mine with the other one. Bloody good sound quality - I have replaced it with an Arcam, and the difference was less than startling, I can tell you, they were pretty solid performers. They were also louder than their power output suggests - I nearly got slung out of halls and never even had them flat out.

I also have a Kenwood DP3040 CD player separate that I need to shift, again perfectly good, but I got over excited when I bought the amp and bought a marantz at the same time.

Make me an offer on either/or/all if you (or anyone else) has an interest.

:)

Unemployed, Alfie. Still being paid until the end of November (hence not panicking and off temping or anything) but told work to poke the job cos my 2 year overdue pay rise wasn't happening and I called them on it as I'd had enough of being fucked over. I'm on "gardening leave" as they say for all of November.

Bored though.

Fair enough.

Wish I had some time to be bored. You only miss that when it's gone. :/

She's got a long fucking way to go to beat me, though.

What can I say, I had a crap temp job after uni, then a crap freelance job where I got screwed over and I was at this job for over a year and my boss was an inept psychopath.. This one looks like a keeper though, its a real agency doing actual real design for big clients (including orange)...

We're not all lucky enough to be geniuses and have made our fortunes at such a tender young age cal ;) (some balding people here probably cant even remember being a tender young age)
