Scuba's Second try - Sink or Swim!

scubaangel

Another joyous day of work completed whilst watching the sunshine out the front door.

So logcially after getting home from work I had to decide to get changed and go for a run this evening, reminded me just how much I hate running on the roads, but given how dark it is I couldn't do any of my more typical routes which involve an unlit canal towpath or riverside footpath.

Ahh yes the semi mythical 'day off' amazingly it is still gloriously sunny here so am stationed in my garden finally using the patio set I bought nearly a month ago, I've brought out with me my lappy, so I can keep watching sbtv to rack up the points but as I've also managed to download the sbtv phone app I also have that running, between the two should fairly easily smash todays earnings target.

I've also done some reorganisation of the plugs in the living room which means I have also got one of the remote music units out here with me playing an auto generated playlist of summery music, which is really rather lovely. I have my ou books with me too but its too bright for actual reading so am hoping there'll be an osmotic process of information transfer....

Just been paid by springboard so thats another £25 in to my paypal account, I was starting to worry slightly about how long it was taking to get paid given they state 3 to 4 weeks for paypal and up to 6 weeks for cheques but it was almost 6 weeks since I'd requested it.

Still need to sort out relinking my bank and paypal though so that I can withdraw it. Must sort that out next week!

Happily racking up the swagbucks at the moment too - the SBTVmobile app is fantastic, as long as I remember to keep my phone on charge while I'm using it I like that its an very easy 50SB per day which while they've got the earnings targets each day tends to be a big chunk of the target I can get without being at the lappy constantly.

Mega shift polished off again, with a *very* pleasing 30minute break between shifts - it's fair to say I left one shift in a grouchy mood and arrived at the next with the biggest grin in the world. Yeah am easily amused, so shoot me.

Currently dealing with todays swagbucks challenge target mostly done already even though I've been home less than an hour. Lots of videos etc at the moment making it fairly easy to earn.

Just managed to complete another opinion world survey and that has put me above the redemption threshold so thats another £10 sitting in my paypal account waiting to be moved to the bank.

Now has a bit of a complex about being stood up for dinner plans.....thats three times in a week that I've been told at the last minute that my 'date' can't make it!

If I get stood up again tomorrow I might just lie down on the railway line behind the house, or go for a swim in the canal.

So instead I am spending the evening studying, and doing surveys when I could have been out having a laugh and enjoying myself.

So....does the railway line actually have trains using it?? I ask, really to check your commitment to this line of thought since you also mention swimming in the canal, and we all know you're part fish...:D;)

You've not been 'stood up' (or is that actually 'stood down'?) by the same person all three times, have you? If so...:mad:...*readies the wet haddock of wrath*...I'd be happy to *puts on best Eastenders accent* 'av a word in their shell-like'...:mad:

Yup, at least two an hour 24 hours a day. And even I wouldn't voluntarily get in to that canal - it stinks! _pale_

One person twice - although in fairness both times I knew he was on call with work so it was never properly confirmed (we now have tomorrow night confirmed.....) and another once, who really did have no excuse since we only made the plans 4 hours before we were meant to meet and he still forgot.

Don't worry if it happens again I'll be having words, loudly, in the middle of a group of their peers since what type of even semi normal male ever turns down free food and beer in the company of a not entirely minging looking female (and one they claim is a friend).

Whoops logged in to the OU website to double check the errata page before I got stuck in to my assignment to discover its not due tomorrow but Thursday.....and all of a sudden my motivation to get stuck in to the work has vanished.

Along with the sun - the big black clouds are rolling over at the moment, am desperately hoping that they keep on rolling past us here since once again I'm terrifying the commuters on their trains with the sight of me in a slightly too big mismatched bikini sprawled across my patio table (I'm studying you see or I'd be on the blow up mattress on the grass where they can't see me).

You're sprawled across the patio table?! The mind boggles!!
