Euh....

Hi ya...

Yep... Started my new job today...
Not much to tell.. Started training for 4 weeks!!!
In a call centre..
Can't really tell much about it.. (because we haven't really been told a lot)

Last Saturday the BPPPA had their Extraordinary General Meeting..
Loads of things happened there..
Can't tell anything about that either... (because I need the press release to come out first)
But...
There might be some good news for me and for the poolworld here in the UK!!!

More news soon!

(Maybe a bit less updates but I really need to focus on the work part a bit now)

Love you!

8-Ball Battle of Scandinavia 2

Hi ya...
It's Friday already and I've got an internet connection again!

Lee's doing well..
Ended 3rd in his group yesterday..
Had to play another match this morning...
TV-table for Bwin...
Won 5-0!
Wish I was allowed to bet on it... ;)
This was his last match so he should be ok for now...
Unless something really weird happens.

Mick and Carl had a good start of the day too..
Both won 5-0.
Daz is playing now...
Boyzi is on at 12!

I'm tired..
This is my day off..
So I'm gonna enjoy a day without doing anything except watching some of the matches!

At 6 tonight the single knock out stage will begin...
So hopefully the wire-less will work tonight so I can put some updates on here!

8-Ball Battle of Scandinavia

Hi ya...

Yep got everything connected, so here I am!
Oslo:
Cold (not as cold as I would have expected but don't walk around with short skirts or shorts!!!)
The Elbowroom!! Looks great! Have to get used to the camel/tan cloths upstairs but looks really classy.. Just can't play on it! Can't seem to see the angles... Maybe I should try playing for real once.. ;)
Down stairs: TV table and some more tables.
Green cloths and the tv table has a light blue/gray cloth...

Bwin is gonna cover the event with live-stream and some bets off course..
Bwin being here means I'm united with my terrible twin Anna (Nickname the EPBF people gave us) again!

Tonight there will be a qualifier for the Grand 8-Ball Masters in the UK.. 16 players will try to get a spot in the fantastic event!
(Riggers is playing in it too... He was playing great earlier on the day. Was practising against Nick van den Berg.. Nick gave up.. Hahaha)

There will also be some mini-tournaments tonight.. All kinds of different prizes, just to keep players busy!

Gonna go back to work again!

More to follow soon!

Pffffffffffffff

Things are looking better again...
Bank account has been opened...
Can't do much with it yet because that all..
No card yet, no money on it yet but at least it exists now..

Ventura offered me the job, no idea about the project yet, he'll let me know before I fly off to Norway for the 8-Ball Battle of Scandinavia!

By the way totally forgot to mention that Lee bought me flowers Wednesday for me finally getting a job! PINK flowers! ;) Haha thanks babe!

Yesterday:
weekly tournament and for the first time ever in Barnsley Riley's weekly tournament history:
NO ARGUMENTS!!!
Wooohoooo yep, we're getting there!
Maybe because nobody dared to argue because I was not in a good mood when we started.. ( I
was very quiet, not that I hit anybody or something like that)

Going to cook now and have a quiet night home hopefully!

Love you all and see you soon! :)

Pffffffffffffffffffff or Woooohoooooo ????

Hmmm...
Had a job intevriew yesterday for a company called Ventura.
Call centre with all kinds of different project.
Interview went ok, kind of got the job offered..
Kind of? What?
Yep...

They need a proof of address first before they can officially offer you a job...
(Needed to bring that and my ID and my NI-number....)
Funny thing is that I could only bring my ID.
Can't get a NI number without having a job...
Proof of address examples:
- bank statement
- gas bill
- electricity bill
- council tax thingies..
You're getting the general idea right?
But what if you live with your boyfriend and don't pay anything because first of all:
you don't have a job and therefore no money to pay anything!
And second of all you can't open a bank account because you can't proof your address!

So what's frustrating me:
I can't get the job without proving my address, can't get a bank statement to use as a proof of address without already having one... Can't bring my NI number to any interviews because they want you to have a job first!
Is anybody else getting frustrated by this vicious circle already?!?!?!?!?!?!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm giving up! Getting annoyed now!
