No,no,no.Thats Mr.Azevedo, AD MEng!

Well, today was pay review day! Every year, in December, the company asks each person's managers how they think the person did over the year and then atribute an appropriate pay rise! Well turns out that I managed to convince my managers that I did well (Fools!!! ;D) and got a wee pay rise, which is always nice and welcome, but, most importantly, I also got a promotion!

This promotion entitles me to move to a higher social stratum! My title is no long Junior Programmer - Aerospace Engineer, MEng! I am now an APPLICATIONS DEVELOPER - Aerospace Engineer, MEng! In other words, I am now a LEVEL 2 employee, as oppose to a level 1! How posh and exciting, hey?? hehe

And the best thing is, I don't have business cards, so I dont have to request new ones with a new title! =)

Stay beautiful!

For The 3, He Shoots, HE SCORES!!

Yesterday, was a big day for yours truly! The Salisbury Suns, the basketball team from Salisbury (duh!) that I play for in the SABA League (South England) - Division 1, had a game against the Weymouth Bandits! The team played really well, which made things even the more pleasurable! But, most excitingly was the fact that, not only did we win 75-62 but also that I had a "career high" with several assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals and 6 (yes, SIX) three point shots, for a total of 18 points! I was on fire, like I've never been! It was awesome! =D


I LOVE THIS GAME!

Just thought I'd share my excitement! =)

Stay beautiful!

Are They Thick or Plain Ol' Stupid?

Just found this Sun article with a list of stupid answers given by contestants on TV and Radio quiz shows! Some of them are just unbelievable! I used to refuse that a human being could be this stupid... I don't anymore...

And once you are there, if you are interested, you can also have a look at the article on the SECOND COMING!!!... no, not of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, but Mr. T of the A-Team, God of Golden Jewellery, eventhough, you will find, he has now quit the neck muscle and gravity challenging gold bar stash he carried! Thats some good news right there! (the comeback I mean... not the jewellery... just wont be the same without it... =D)

Stay beautiful!
