I was stumbling and came across this site, I saw it a long time ago and Stumble reminded me how awesome it is. You simply e-mail Sam Brown with a title of an image you’d like him to draw and he’ll draw it, and you can buy them. The drawings are so good and creative his work really is worth a look.

Christmas Speak

flummoxed1 — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:55:09 +0000

Today I was on the early shift and actually got there before the night girl left, it’s strange when I’m on that shift, because firstly I’m not used to it and secondly it’s a Sunday which means a 3 course lunch and thirdly the weekend staff work differently to those in the weekdays, only slightly, but still, routine is routine.

It’s that time of year when my knuckles are red raw (no I haven’t been punching anyone) and my nose is red and sore (no, I haven’t been punched), it’s the weather. It makes my skin crack and it becomes so, so sore. I did have hand cream which I was going to take to work with me this morning. I bought it downstairs and then it just… disappeared. I seriously cannot find it anywhere. Whenever I’m cold it’s my nose that catches it. Like right now, I’m not really cold but my nose is, I fear I may be confused with Rudolf when Christmas gets here. It’s not far away, is it?

30th November already, Christmas is seriously creeping up and it’ll be 1st December tomorrow. The last posting date for International mail is the 5th I think, I need to get onto starting my Christmas cards and getting some presents ready to send off… sighs. I don’t know what’s the worst part of Christmas, writing Christmas cards, buying gifts, wrapping gifts, cooking the Christmas dinner, the Christmas carols, putting up Decorations/the Christmas tree, the commercialisation… actually I dislike it all equally.

Anywayz, a good friend gave me links to two other awesome blogs tonight, Random Acts of Reality and Nee Naw Control.

Paramedic’s Diary

One of the blogs I read somewhat religiously on the Net has to be the Paramedic’s Diary. It gives a great insight to the work paramedics do, the highs, the lows and the downright stupid call-outs they need to attend. I read the blog and go through a mixture of emotions, sometimes it makes me smile, other times confused and some post entries also has a tendency to make me feel angry, especially the time-wasters who help throw away the UKs money and put other lives at risk because of their hoax calls, or ambulances being called out for no suitable reason, such as a simple case of the flu etc. Paramedics have my utmost respect because although it’s a rewarding job, it must be very hard at times because the public are not always willing to work with you.
