When things you enjoy doing get in the way of things that might be more critical to you getting a job (or something) then you need to stop, take a step back, take the hurdle and get on with the more important stuff. Or panic. That's the other option.

I am a little concerned with my current work ethic. Not that it affects anyone else other than me, but in my own opinion spending three years of your life working on a degree is probably quite important when compared to trying to make time in the day to watch Deal or No Deal or The Apprentice.

I got my Pantone book through today - no more bodge job guessing now or pinching references from unsuspecting websites. I can't understand why I never accquired a set before. Oh yeh, actually it's because they cost forty quid a set. Thankfully Rich did me a favour and sorted me out for free (for which I am incredibly grateful). It only goes to show if you wait long enough and wish hard enough, anything can happen.

It's come to the final push with the IDT Stash. With the deadline on Monday I was hoping a schniffty email out tonight might lure in some last takers, but so far there has been no sign of the department forwarding it out.

Tomorrow Sister One is coming up with some mates from Aber. Looks like they are going to be sleeping on the lounge floor, which currently isn't in much of a state for anyone to be doing any sleeping on. I see a tidy up being in order. I think I'll be showing them the delights of FND and then on Saturday maybe Chos, maybe Rain, depends on their taste in nights out. Whatever, it's likely to be a good laugh if I can put up with the fantastic wit provided by my housemates.

Last night I went for a social at Lloyds with Tongy, Swan, Broomy and Sean in aid of Laura's birthday. Most people were properly on it, but with a looming busy weekend I needed to get back and get on the work train. Not a particularly exciting way to end the night, but I didn't have much in the way of a choice.

Right, time for The Apprentice...
