Welcome 2011

Just about to call it a day, and year.

All left to say now is: Feck Off 2010

New Years Eve

Since no one else wanted to work on New Years Eve and I'm just that kind of nice guy, I am alone in the office today. I am currently rocking out to Soundgarden at a really loud volume. I have already gotten my fix for today regarding Nirvana, The Black Angels and The Mountain Goats. I have actually managed to squeese in some work between loading my Ipod and surfing artsy blogs.

Christmas Pictures

Paddy's First Christmas Eve

Christmas Day

Myself and the Elf

Sleeping it off

Hey Baby

Here are some of the latest pre-Christmas pictures of Sean:

Maybe the most Christmassy Shopping list ever?

Rocking Out, Once More

Alone in the office again.

Todays Playlist:

• Meat Puppets
• The Vaselines
• The Jesus and Mary Chain
• Nirvana

I need it after being force fed Neil Diamond a couple days ago - still stinging in my musical ears.

More Office Hijinks

Maybe not so much hijinks as surprise to find a cockroach who actually writes his own signs and have the audacity to ask to be left alone while taking a nap in the middle of the hall.

Rite Aid Xmas

Here are some gift suggestions by the grossly undereducated people at the local Rite Aid (I guess it is supposed to be a drug store, for those who have never been to R.A.)

A $10 gift card to Burger King, for that someone special.

An interactive TV game. I think Nintendo had a thing like that not too long ago...

Thumbs Up II

So the good news from last week. I got the job I applied for (and had for the last year).

I am now a proud employee of the Medical University.

Not so good news: Katherine, in my office, totally neglected her cup of soup she bought the other day. The soup couldn't understand why it was being treated like that.

Matt the Cop

The wife notified me yesterday that she had found my second doppelganger. The first one is a Irish Republican politician in Dublin, and apparently my other look-a-like spends his days keeping the streets of Stockholm safe. So far he's not doing a bang up job.

What I would look like if I were a police officer

Thumbs Up

Got some good news yesterday, it made me happy.

Cardy

My boss has her birthday tomorrow, so of course I made the old girl a card.

Taking it Easy

... And here I have got some help in the relaxation department.

Old Man

Here's a pic of me celebrating my birthday by standing in a corner, relaxing and drinking celebratory Guinness

More Sean

Some of the newest baby pictures. It can be tricky to get a good one since the little guy refuses to be still.

Happy Birthday From the Lads at Ark Royal!

Today is my Birthday. I am now entering the last year of my twenties. Since I am pretty much a 14-year old in disguise I do not really care what any "official" number says.

I am glad however I actually succeeded in keeping one of my favourite Birthday traditions alive: watching Richie Rich Celebrate himself.

Office Hijinks

Goofing off with the Noah's Ark themed tapestry on 3rd floor.

Fish out of European Water

Two things I just found out about where i am that are obviously blog worthy:

• Men here do not wear scarves. The wife just informed me of this the other day, and it made me seriously reassess the looks from dudes I have been getting since I proudly brought out the scarves a couple of weeks ago.
• You can't get NME here. Jarvis Cocker is on the cover of the new issue, which boasts that "Pulp is back!" I want to read this but since I am in a place where 'foreign' is something to be scared of, and NME's website sucks i guess we will have to do without.

Cardmaker

One of the lovely nurses in our department has her birthday today. It bestowed upon me to make the old lass an appropriate card for the occasion. This what I came up with:

Self is Best

This is our 4 month old little strongman who decided it will just be better if he holds the bottle himself!
