A FRIDAY THE 12TH KIND OF DAY!

 

Hello everyone,

Welcome to a day unlike any other, or at least it is now.  I have never given Friday the 13th any particular thought, I`m not really superstitious but today that all changed.  Last night my hit counter did a runner from my journal, never to be seen again, taking all 16,100 odd hits with it! I asked the UKjournals editor for help which he gave me.  I carried out the instructions but it turned out I needed help from an American source because my journal being .com, is American.  The journals editor gave me the links I needed and I duly went along to the site and printed them off.  But at the moment my brain is far too frazzled to do it tonight so it can wait until tomorrow.  I tell you it`s all happening because of the date.  I`ve fallen over Jake , bumped into things and nearly broke my neck tripping over the stair gate.  The printer wouldn`t work when I was printing off my CV so I  had to spend ages messing about until I finally got it to work again.  Oh yes, and I burned my hand on the George Foreman grill, not badly but it did hurt...roll on tomorrow that`s all I can say!

I`ve seen a really good job advertised in the local paper, it`s for a general office assistant, working from 9am till 2pm.  It really sounds good but I won`t get my hopes up.  I`ll ring for an interview on monday morning and see what happens.  I must admit, I`m more than a little bit interested, the hours are perfect and the job sounds just right for me, let`s hope nobody else applies for it...lol!  There`s also a job vacancies open day at the local hospital tomorrow.  I`ll most likely pop along there to see what they are offering, I can only but try.

Kerry came over again today, she wanted me to have a look on the internet to see if there are any mother and baby groups locally and we came up trumps straight away.  We found a group who do baby massage and music, apparently they are very good for a babies confidence and motor development. Kerry will be going along with Roman on monday so I`ll let you know how it goes..

There is somebody at the original Crime House.  I walked past and saw the window was open, there have been signs of life but I`ve not seen anyone coming or going, very odd  I can tell you that the fancy cars they had haven`t returned and I doubt they ever will now, they were probably bought with their ill-gotten gains anyway.  I can`t wait for the court case to start and then I can tell you more of what`s going on.  As for the other house, they`re crime must have been less important because everything seems normal there and I didn`t see anything in the local paper, which is quite annoying to one as nosey as me...lol!

Must rush now, I do want to catch up on the journals I have left to read.  Oh yes, I didn`t watch Big brother as I`d meant to, I watched the last episode of Lost instead.  BB is just that little bit on the boring side and I think I`ll give it a miss!  Anyway, I hope you all have a nice relaxing weekend.  Take care. :o)

 

 

Friday the 13th stuff

 

More than 80 percent of high-rises lack a 13th floor.  

Many airports skip the 13th gate.  

Airplanes have no 13th aisle.

In France, socialites known as the quatorziens (fourteeners) once made themselves available as 14th guests to keep a dinner party from an unlucky fate.  

 Many triskaidekaphobes, as those who fear the unlucky integer are known, point to the ill-fated mission to the moon, Apollo 13.  

If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck . Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names.
