The one with Spurs and adidas

Recently read news of a potential deal regarding my favourite team and brand. Adidas is in talks with Spurs. Which is very good news for me, being an adidas guy.
Adidas did supply Spurs kit between 1999-2002. After that it was Kappa (who seem to make the jerseys body hugging) and the disastrous Puma. Adidas did provide some nice looking jerseys and it would be nice to actually wear a Spurs jersey which looks good.
Here are the previous adidas kit designs from the historical kits website.

The one with my first month at my new gig

I've made it through my first month at my new gig. Honestly no such thing as grass being greener on the other side. Mainly due to the fact there isn't much grass around. But I'll take what I can get for now.
My new department is small and newly established. My job function itself is new. The system has been running since August. I'm in charge of operations and dealing. I'll spare the details.
Work-wise, I can do what is required. The dealing as well as maintaining the system. But the admin and paperwork and meetings are not my thing.
One of the things I like about the place is the in-house (or is it in-office) gym. Figure I try going during my lunch break. I know there isn't much you can do in an hour. Then again, its the quality of your work-out.
Another thing is they are quite active in sports. Our gym houses indoor courts. We have 2 squash courts. And the main hall serves as a multi-purpose hall. It houses futsal, badminton, netball and maybe volleyball. On Fridays we play football at the St John's field nearby. Where now I've banged in 4 goals in 3 appearances.
And tomorrow is Monday.

The one where I've become the villain

I realized I've changed a lot. I'm becoming the very evil I despise. Okay, the type of person I don't like. A kid who can no longer keep his word and no longer willing to help save the world (that was part was just for dramatics).
What do I mean? I've taken the dealer code to heart - my word is my bond. The code applies to work, but I try to keep it in real time also. For instance, lately I've been guilty for a lot of 'no-shows'. I've promised friends I will come and attend their events, only to miss out at the last minute. And I use to hate people who do that to me, and now I'm doing that to people.
In the past few weeks, I didn't show up to kenduris, weddings and games.
You may wonder how I ended up like this. Guess I'm beginning to sell fish and switch the focus to 'me'.
Guess I'm really turning into the bad clad in black.
