Comic Book Covers: 25th Jan 2012

I know this post is late, very late so late that when i went to pick these up, i was picking up the following weeks comics at the same time, the total came to about £25, and once again i have yet to get round to reading them, and i thought i would have got that done last week as i had 2 days off in a row cause someone switched with me, but i never got round to it cause ive been playing this game called Dead Island on xbox 360, but i will get round to it at some point, later this month.

Justice League #5 The Flash #5
Superman #5 Variant cover When i went in to pick this up all they had was the variant cover so i picked it up, ive posted the the actual cover below.
Green Lantern New Guardians #5 Aquaman #5

Anyone got the time?

Comic Book Covers: 18th Jan 2012

As mentioned in the previous post, im now 1 month behind in comic books, so of the books ive bought, i have now 19 comics that need to be read, the maths says if i spend on average take about 15 minutes to read a comic book, that it will take me about 4 hours and 45 minutes. I dont see that happening tonight but i aim to take at least 2 weeks of books of the unread list.

Ultimate Comics Spiderman #6 Batman #5 Green Lantern Corps #5 Catwoman #5 Nightwing #5

Wonder Woman #5

Edit: 20/01/2012 (11:40pm) Opted not to go out tonight and instead read attempted to catch up reading my comic books as noted above. Earlier i thought i would read through one or two and then probably end up going out, but instead ive taken a massive chunk out of my unread reading list of comic books, Read all of the first two weeks of unread comics, and read all but one of week 3, and read Ultimate Comics Spiderman from this weeks pile, so ive taken 19 unread comic books to just 6 unread comic books.

This should have been the first comic book covers post of 2012 but clearly wasnt, due to never finding the time to post these when i had bought them, i bought them last Friday and went to bed cause i had a temperature, but thought it was essential that i go outside for at least a hour that day to get fresh air and to get my comic books.

Superman Action Comics #5

Batman Detective Comics #5

Justice League International #5

Red Lanterns #5

Green Arrow #5

These also havnt been read, like in the last post this Friday i fully intend to read all of these.

Comic Book Covers: 28th Dec 2011

This Post is Incredibly late, i just have not had the time to do this cause ive been exhausted from working, and got sick at the wrong time, but here it is

Green Lantern New Guardians #4

Superman #4

The Flash #4

Aquaman #4
Since ive been incredibly busy being at work and just overall exhausted none of these have been read yet, however i intend to read them this coming Friday as i will now have a 3 week build up of un read comic books.

Working when Sick grrr

This might go down as one of the most embarrassing things to happen to me in a while, and it occurred at work. But to get to that point im gonna have to let you know a few things first. So first thing first, i have caught the Flu, i had it since last Thursday, when it just started as a sore throat and then a temperature which wasnt pleasant while i was working. Good thing the next day was my day off and managed to shift the temperature although all the other flu symptoms decided to go surprise were here too!

Which leads me to my next day at work, leading up to this day i had a restless night of sleep, kept tossing and turning and waking up, and my nose keep bleeding from blowing my nose, but thats not the last time your gonna hear me mention a nose bleed cause it happened 15 minutes before my shift at work, and it wouldnt stop so quickly cause i had previously taken some panadol which i think thinned my blood and resulted in my blood just shooting out like a waterfall, so i ran downstairs pinching my nose with tissue and run out of the store and stood outside to try and cool down while stopping my nosebleed, to which a customer decided to ask me a question, 1. Im not on the clock yet, 2, erm hello cant you see what im doing isnt it obvious with the blood on my fingers and on the tissue, the worst part is the question was so stupid, "do you recycle Christmas cards"

Anyway i managed to stop my nose bleed, and then it started to bleed again 5 mins towards the end of my break 4 hours or so after the one previous. That day wasnt helped by everyone noticing i didn't look well, and saying, "you dont look too good" found it weird none of the managers noticed this but oh well...

thinking about it now i probably should have just called in sick, but i was under the impression as a temp, its probably better to get sent home for being sick rather than calling in sick.

So the next day or Today (Sunday) i made a point of not taking any panadol just so i dont get a repeat of Saturday, and i feel a bit crappy at work, but its manageable cause i didnt really have to do much for the first hour or two cause all the stock was put out prior to me starting my shift, so im helping someone out, when i hear a voice yelling Manny! Manny! theres only one person who yells like that with no shame, and thats my Mum, she there still yelling my name even tho ive already noticed her, and she hands me medicine Lemsip Max Strength and Water, which was great cause it got me through the next few hours struggled a bit when it was wearing off towards the end of the shift, although i did look like a baby infront of my co workers despite getting some Aww's from the girls, its also the yelling of my Mum calling me which is also incredibly embarrassing.

Hopefully i can shift this flu soon, can't be going to work like this,

My Day Off

My first day off in 6 days, and what did i do, i said to those at work i was probably just gonna stay in bed and shut my brain off and just rest, which for the most part i did, however for a hour i was out getting a massage cause my back and arms felt wrecked. I went in and asked which kind of massage would be good to ease the pain in my back, the lady said Deep Tissue Massage, i said that sounds like its gonna hurt, the lady at reception said no not really however the woman standing behind her kind of made a grimaced face. So i said ok but her face says that it is gonna hurt, So she then recommended a Thai massage.

So i went into the massage room, removed my clothes and lay on the massage table with my face in that hole, and waited for the lady that was going to give me this Thai massage, this lady was about 5 foot tall and hardly any body muscle but managed administer some serious pain on my back, i dunno what she was doing but at some point she was kneeling on me and using her knees to apply pressure on my back. There were also some stretches she did on me that could only be described as wrestling/mma submission holds. Theres a reason your face is in a hole looking down at the floor, its so they cant see the pain on your face while they apply pressure.

About 20 minutes in she found a knot in my back near my shoulder blade which proper killed when she was massaging that area she said it was a big knot and asked if it hurts and of course it hurt i just was trying not to yell OWWW WHAT THE FUCK , it still hurts now actually, she said its probably gonna be sore for a couple of days.

It was pretty much a full body massage for a hour, she focussed on my back for most of the hour but also did the front and back of my legs and feet, and my arms and head. My back actually feels alot better right now with the exception of my neck and the area where that knot was. I did however nearly hurt myself after the massage, she had left the room so i could get changed, what i should point out when she was massaging me with oil when she was done with particular part she would pat it down with a towel to remove most of the oil. She didnt however do this with my feet, so when i stepped on that marble tiles i slid right into the wall and turning off the light some how, and i couldnt turn it back on cause my hands were also covered in the oil too from when she massaged my arms. So i had to get changed in the dark and get my socks on first so i wasn't sliding all about the place.

The rest of my day off was basically having a long nap when i got home and then watching some tv, nothing out of the ordinary lol, oh i also made a trip to the comic book shop, to pick up last week comic books which i will eventually end up posting, may just post it with tomorrows comic books,

6 Days...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Manny you gotta work the next 6 days, well thats not exactly how it went but its damn sure how it felt. So the store was closed on Christmas day as expected it, however i normally work on Sundays so in order to make up the time, i had to work on one of my days off, and i was scheduled to be in last Tuesday which i had no idea about as im normally off on a Tuesday so didnt check the Tuesday work Schedule that was on the notice board. So while i was meant to be at work i was at the cinema watching The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo pretty awesome mystery film did make me think about reading the next two books.

Anyway i go to work on Wednesday and find out that i was meant to be in on Tuesday, which instantly made me panic "oh shit i fucked up" anyway this wasnt such a big issue as i wasnt the only one that did this. So one of the managers suggested i just make up the hours on my next day off which would be Friday, which in turn would mean working 6 days in a row, which included New Years Eve and New Years Day. By the 6th Day i was just exhausted, also a little fed up, but i got through it and that's all that matters. The annoying thing about this was that it wasnt just a ordinary fuck up, it was a double fuck up i suppose on my part, as the Tuesday i was meant to be in was a Bank holiday, so by not being in i forfeited Time and a Half pay.

The Store was also closed on Boxing day but my store had already agreed with one of the big central London stores that some of us working their will have to work in that store on Boxing day, which was fine, despite the fact that it wasnt my store so didnt know where things went or where things are or anything about the sale that was going on cause my store is strictly food whereas that store is clothing aswell. i was made to assist with packing on a till for 4 hours so it wasnt too bad well it kinda was as in my store packing is easy as its pretty much just boxes of stuff to put in a bag its like playing tetris pretty much but in that store i learnt about myself that day, i cant fold clothes as i would attempt to fold the clothes and then shove it in the bag.

The remaining 2 hours were spent doing put backs however as i didnt know where things were it was basically walking around the menswear department trying to find where things went lol not bad for time and half pay. Also went for a drink afterwards which i clearly needed the drink it seems as i managed to down 2 pints like they were nothing in like 40 minutes, i only know this cause i walked into the pub during a football match and had a timer lol.

Happy New Year!

My new year's resolution is to start using my power of invisibility for more than just sneaking into women's Changing rooms

Its weird that its a whole year ago since i drank too much on New Years Day and threw up on myself in an attempt to not to throw up, you read all about it here http://www.mannydas.com/2011/01/11-rounds.html

Anyway Happy New Year "Have a good one" ( standard facebook happy birthday message applied to New Years for those that didnt know lol )
