Phew.  Finally getting back on track. Updated Thomasaj.com with the latest wordpress release and all the plugins are now up-to-date as well. It has been bugging me for weeks now,  feels great to have won another battle against my procrastinating self.  Everything seems to work like intended, but if you are experiencing any problems, bugs or just want to send me an email please do so at thomas at this domain.

As I’ve whined about earlier I’ve worked a lot lately, too much whine / work (take your pick!) perhaps, but anywho! 182 hours from christmas eve to the 20th of january.  I wish I had kept tabs on all the sausages I’ve sold, you would’ve been amazed and/or disgusted. People sure are crazy about their sausages. Hmm.  I might actually start counting how many I sell pr day and turn it into a pie chart. THE IRONY IS SIMPLY SUBLIME! Ahem..

182 hours. Even without the best of wages I still get one pretty hefty paycheck come this friday, can hardly wait. I’ve had such great plans for the money. A new laptop. A new phone. A trip somewhere nice. Books. Games. Candy.  Your Mother.  However, my teeth decided they wanted my full attention. Cue The Mandibular Third Molar. Yep. The dreaded Mandibular third molar. The one and only. The ‘wisdom teeth’.  ”Oh, cock! :(” I was chugging down painkillers like Amy Winehouse on a good day, but to no avail! The pain was everlasting and I knew I had to go visit my Old Enemy; The Dentist. I’m not one with an unhealthy fear of dentists. I just have a lot of bad experience with them. My first dentist as a child lost his license due to malpractice. (The guy was crazy, wanted to drill holes and extract every teeth you had!)

Anywho, my first trip to dentist in five years. I knew this was going to get ugly.  But no.  I had three holes. My dentist was slightly impressed.  As for the mandibular third molar he couldn’t do shit. “That’s how they work. They hurt. I’ll remove them further down the line, if they’re an annoyance.” Fair enough. The worst part about going to the dentist, however,  is the payment. My first check took about 25 minutes. It cost me 1100NOK.  Absurd. And the bloodsucker wanted me back two more times. That’s 3k straight out of my paycheck. Going nowhere. Money I’ll never see again. I hate teeth.

Long story short; I now have to make some cuts to my Shopping Spree List. Candy is out. The same goes for Your Mother. I desperately need a new phone, and a laptop so that’s that for now. Deciding on what to buy however – that’ll take me weeks!
