Been at work today have worked the last three Saturdays, even stayed in last night as i was going to work what a god boy i am, mind you i'd been out Thursday with the guys from work for a meal, we went to a Shabu Shabu restaurant, for those that done know what Shabu Shabu is and I'm one it's basically very thin slices of meat usually beef put into a pot of boiling water or what they call dashi (broth) and swishing it back and forth several times, apparently Shabu-shabu roughly translates to "swish-swish" see bet you didn't think i knew so much, actually i don't, thank god for Wikiepedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabu-shabu to cut a long story
short it's poached meat but that don't sound as good as Shabu Shabu does it. After the restaurant a few of us went to a place called FreeFlight, a bar about five minuets from the apartment, unfortunately after that i made the wrong decision and decided to go to another place which is why i feel bad all day Friday and did not go out. You make these kind off stupid decisions after beer which sound good at the time but aren't, i even tried Karaoke again and should have known better.

Not a lot else has been happening lately apart from the obvious work that is, which is going real well but getting pretty busy hence the working Saturdays, we will starting the commissioning soon and it will probably get even busier.
Did have a bit of a disaster though a couple of days ago, my Kettle broke have been having to boil water in a pan till i get a new one, guess it's not the end of the world though.
Yep i know it's boring but honestly not a lot has been happening, it's not like being on Holiday I'm at work pretty much 6 days a week now and day to day life is pretty boring. Typical day sort of goes like this, get up about 7am get to work for about 8.30am,It's about 1hrs drive each way from my apartment. Get back 6.30 - 7pm try and go to the gym for an hour or so, although don't make it as often as i used too. Back from the gym about 9pm something to eat watch a bit of TV and to bed, get up about 7am and so on, don't have time to do a lot as you can see.
Most of this things i do revolve around going to the gym, out for meals and out a few beers, not really that exciting is it, so Saturday night is probably my only big night out, Sunday is pretty much taken up with looking after the apartment which can take a bit of time. I'm glad I've got the apartment and am not living in a Hotel for the freedom it gives you but one thing about living in an hotel you don't have to wash your own bedding or go and buy things like heating oil to keep warm.
So that's it it's the end of January, tonight I'm going out with my mate Razer who lives in the next apartment but one to me and some other friends. We're going to an Italian restaurant for something to eat then to the Lions Head and maybe Iceman for a few bees and no doubt after that to Birdland until the wee hours i should think.
We have had some snow since I've been back was expecting more to be honest but it was just a light covering, am going to put in a couple of action shots from work of yours truly. The one showing me eating I've actually used as my profile picture for Facebook, only joined to keep in touch with Ben and Joe but now have a total of 7 friends, wow ain't that something know them all from Utsunomiya.
Anyway check out the photos below, the guy with me is from our office in the states.
