November

It is coming up very soon. I didn't think it would come around again quite so soon. I've got a few reasons to, not celebrate because that's the wrong word but instead commemorate November. It is nearly a year now that I've been in my current job. Hard to believe but come November I will have been there for the fourth longest time of anybody in our unit. Normally we should have seven people in the unit if we have the right number of people. Currently we do, but that wont last long. Things are changing round there so I'm going to stick around for a bit and see what happens. My holiday away has made me much more motivated so we'll see how I go for a little while longer.

Also in November, for those who don't understand the significance of my cars number plates, it is my birthday. I will be 26. I choose not to dwell on that. In our grand family tradition, I suppose I should supply the family with a birthday present list. This year as in all years I am struggling with what I want. Generally everything I could ask for present wise I either have or it is too expensive. But this is what I have so far.

• A new wallet. One with a see through compartment so I can open it to show either
  • A photo or
    
  • My drivers licence
  
  
• Guitar song book. I'm not really fussed what type, I just think one would be cool
  
• iTunes music voucher. Can you tell I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel here?
  
• Massage or something like that. Acupuncture would be interesting too. Why not?
  
• Books. I'm not sure what but I'm sure there's some prolific fantasy or science fiction author out there which I haven't read most of (Robert Jordan is not to be included on this list) that I wouldn't mind reading. This one's right down the bottom of the list because if I wasn't so lazy I could just go to the library :) Or could be one that actually made me think....but I don't know if I want to start heading down that road :) Idiots guide to CSS maybe, it'd be nice to have a handy reference guide instead of always looking it up online.
  

Can you tell I like reading? And need to edit the CSS of this site to reduce the padding-top of the ul tags? I assume that's where the issue is coming in just by looking at the page. It's something to do at work one day :)

I'll probably add more later. Of course, now that it's November I also have to start thinking about what my Dad wants. And you thought I was hard to buy for!
