About Me - GAD123

My photo
Belfast, N.I., United Kingdom
I first got on the net over 15 (2009) years ago and have had my own site for at least 7 (2009) of those years (a place where I could dump the misery of my everyday life!), you can see my fist efforts @ www.freewebs.com/gad123 and my current blog @ www.gad123.co.uk . I am a kind person, smart, (I know that is subjective) and witty, the dry, sarcastic type! I am told that I am easy to talk to and am very laid back. I enjoy playing poker, listening to any music, watching movies & American TV shows, love going to the pub, dancing on a Saturday night and am a bit of a nerd as I own a Wii, PS3 and built my own PC! I am a creature of routine, love the night time when all the exciting things happen, am a bit of an insomniac and love getting trashed at the weekends! If you want, you can catch me on MSN @ graham@gad123.co.uk! Take care and enjoy you browse around this GAD123 Page!

Working Through The Running Order...

Sup! Peeps? You would think after such a long absence that I would have something witty and at least base level interesting to say, but... Alas... Nope! I will give you a short up date then get back to the grind that is work. I must say tho that Bravenet have updated the GUI *shakes fist* --- We have been putting together our annual directory, this is always a stressful and busy time but because of unavoidable incidences everything has been delayed and we have had to cram what normally took 3 months in to 3 weeks! All being well and all factors being equal it will go to print today. We have some promotions to go and of course this directory to get to members but it's a down hill run to Xmas. Well I say downhill but there will still be the overtime and 6 day weeks, tho it does seem a breeze when you know that yesterday I worked 17 hours straight with only a bite to eat at 10.00pm! Such is life tho, when you have 100,000 people who have paid for and are expecting products you have no option but to succeed, they don't care about unforeseen circumstances! Roll on Xmas when I get a few (hopefully a week) days off to sleep!

My social life has not really suffered, much to the detriment of my health I suspect (he,he,he), staying up on a Friday night to 4am playing online poker, Dimples and I still parting on Saturday Nights, out for dinner, Clubs, Pubs, even went to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show (very funny) in the Opera House in Belfast. She has it hard at this time of the year too, with the school play and that, so we are finding it had to get quality time together, NOW she has the god dam FLU! *sigh* I have also been missing the Wednesday night home poker game at Kayeso's too, which sucks and my normal routines are out the window!

This weekend I am having a relatively quite one, out on Fri for a bit then going out for a family dinner on Saturday for my Mom's 70th birthday, which is just mad, how can my mom be an old women??!

That, my friends, is your lot for today but I hope to post later in the week when some sort of normality returns. Stay Tuned but for now here are the final specs of my new PC that should arrive later in the week:
