I had a half day at work today because I went to the cardiologist after getting a referral from the Doctor (not the timelord) last week. Went there did their little cardio stress (generous) test doctor looked at the results and said “these results look good I don’t think it’s your heart I think it’s muscular, its good that at 28 you can make it the full 12 mins” (or something like that) I said “I was 99.9% sure it wasn’t my heart when this all started” and he said “well I can’t say i’m 100% certain but probably 99.95% sure”
For those that haven’t done one (I hadn’t) A cardio stress test consists of going into a room with a treadmill and a tech (who is probably a nurse) take off your shirt and have an ECG (electrody goodness) hooked up to you to get a base reading, they also take your blood pressure. After the tech asks questions to establish history, then the doctor comes in and asks the same questions. Then they put you on the tread mill and start at 2km/h (SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW) and every 3mins they increment the speed and incline and stop at 12mins.
Fun times. I love spending 170 to be told its not my heart which I knew before I went to the doctor the first time!
In other news… stuff happens.
I returned to the doctor yesterday and he checked the results of my last lot of tests yay no hepatitis or HIV and its not lupis. The doc gave me a referral to a Cardiologist and a haemotologist for stuff but the referral required him to print a page with referral info plus 13 page (single sided) patient history for each one, he signed the last page then gave it to someone else to fax all 14 pages. To me this seems like a waste of time and paper, why not send the history and referral electronically and fax a cover page with a signature if required, it would be faster, more efficient and less wasteful. Seems dumb the way it is. Amongst other things the doctor was unhappy with my blood pressure but happy I had lost 4kg in 4 weeks.
Last weekend I went to brisbane for soundwave (music festival) it was my first festival and it was a great deal of fun. In the future if attending festivals I will make sure to not loose my friends because finding them is difficult and its better to rock out with company. On the sunday we walked around Brissy a lot and it was highly enjoyable I also went for my first swim in 2years or so, before heading back to coffs at 7 or 8pm damn I was tired when I got home.
Month of no drinking is over time to get on it!
Found this video today and it made me laugh. Your lungs on What Marijuana Leaves In Your Lungs (VIDEO)
I’ve decided to stop drinking for the month of Feb (shortest I know). Friday night was odd because I am so used to knocking back a few drinks while I do what ever before going out, and I didn’t have any drinks before going out with some mates. Also went out on sat night and did a heap of dancing both friday and sat night. Good times all while sobre. I dance worse sobre than when drunk which is saying something.
So work is still very work like and I still would rather not go each day button well. I have decided to take a break from booze for a month (Feb the shortest month) should save me some cash in doing so. Going to the pub last night and not drinking felt odd.
stuff is good
Just grabbed the Wordpress app for Android and thought I might post using it yay!
It has been a while since I posted her and stuff has happened I watched lots more tv, lots of movies bought lots of games and dvds and only played a few. made some new friends and unfortunately and sadly lost some existing ones.
I’ve changed a little too thanks (its their fault) to others I dance (being generous), I walk more, I drink more, I have a new car, still hate work, sometimes cook uhh and stuff
that will do for now I think
Stuff its what I been doing. Some of the stuff I been doing includes watching tv shows, I recently finished northern exposure, the wire and one or two other shows. I recently started watching numb3rs and have been enjoying it.
Drinking is more stuff I been doing and spending time with mates..that is good stuff. Went Go karting on sat and bowling…the two shouldn’t be done on the same day my shoulders are telling me
So my holidays were over 3 weeks or so ago. I spent most of it watching tv I got through
- Season 1-5 Two and a half men
- Season 3-4 the pretender
- Season 1-3 Seaquest
- Season 1-2 Weeds.
- Season 1ish of Batman the brave and the bold
I also saw X-men Origins: Wolverine and Star trek while on holidays both good movies.
X-men Origins: Wolverine is the story above Wolverines past and how he gets his adamantium skeleton, escapes looses his memory and all that. It was a good action flick with some great special effects and nice fight scenese. It lost some points with me because it wasn’t accurate to what I am aware of with wolverine and some of the supporting cast’s histories it gets 3.5/5 thumbs up.
star trek was great it was an excellent reboot and I think it will draw non trekkies to future star trek movies it was just well done all round. The cast did a good job of bringing traits from the original characters to the movie (especially bones) the special effects were good my only gripes are some of what they portrayed was stupidly insulting (atomspheric entry jump?) and that they had to use time travel yet again..however the purpose of the reboot was to also setup an alternate reality and time line so i guess it was needed. It gets 4.5/5 thumbs up.
I also played wolverine on the pc and beat it..twas a fun game with some ok graphics and some nice violence. I bought stalker in the last week of holidays for #10 but haven’t played it much…such a good deal thoug
I saw the hangover last Sunday it was pretty funny 3.2/5 thumbs up from me
Nana died a week ago tomorrow, I went to Sydney on Thursday and spent time with the family before attending the funeral on Friday. The service was short (30mins) and sans religious bullshit which was nice..after we went to pops for drinks and nibbles until later in the night.
I spent the next 2 days down in Sydney with family and visited other grandparents and went to nieces 1st bday party (dumb idea)
Umm yeah done.
Well I haven’t posted for a while so here is a post there isn’t much to tell really

Have I mentioned how much I hate the company I work for oh and my job? Well I do but unfortunately I have no skills except those in IT so I have limited options in what I can do. If i was offered a job in IT elsewhere in coffs (other than aawsom) I would hand in my resignation immediately i want to get out of this place.
The following only adds to the pile..
The fucktards that “manage” this company aren’t doing a work xmas party this year instead they are doing a lunch for the staff thats a whopping 2hrs long..we still have to come back to the fucking office on friday which is fucked.
I want a new job..
