This week has been a pretty good week thus far!
Monday, after work, I went to that DJ Booth/Studio for an hours play of Pioneers CDJ-2000NXS2 players and DJM-900NXS2 mixer. A full soundproofed room, massive speakers and oh my, I didn’t even have the gain a quarter of the way; and I felt like I was the guy leading the club from the front!! Did take 10 minutes to connect everything, find the darn power switches, mind, lol, as I walked into a massive complex to find I was the only person in the whole building!! The place isn’t even manned, there’s CCTV cameras everywhere.
Que the home video recordings of me playing on these decks, lol. Tried my own tracks, 1st time I’ve heard them in this environment; and I now know why they’re popular in clubs, sound is spot on, kind of shows my ears to mastering works well, considering I do everything myself, kind of have done for years, but the sheer quality, damn!!
Crazy thing was though, as soon as I started forwarding the images/videos on to my Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/daverosuk/), did I started getting DJ’s from Ibiza and companies looking for DJ’s to work in Ibiza and beyond add me; and even send me job offers, lol!! How nuts is that?!! 
I even sent a message to the recording studio itself, on their Facebook page to say what a good time I’d had; and what great facilities they provided, to have them ask for me to send links to my mixes! Que the link to my favourite Soundcloud set…

Well, Tuesday and I’ve just had my works Christmas night out last night!! What a night!!
Not exactly the same blast as I had last year, that’s for sure, no apartment to return to, no DJing, but I did get to see my family from my previous store! Even my ‘haters’ seemed pleased to see me!! 
Everyone came over to give me hugs, say they missed me, even had me join them to dance at their tables, the venue being ‘The Bierkellar’ (If you’re familiar with this franchise, a decent night out, that’s for sure!!). Danced with my work colleagues, were I could, music not to the same pace as what I liked (Or played in the above studio), only so many times you can hear the ‘Time warp’ and want to basically stand, drink and watch everyone else do the actions, lol.
Yep, ‘R’ was at the venue, damn did she give me one evil stare. She stayed out of my way for the 2 hours that she was there, fair enough, still have no idea what she has said, what has gone on, no one seems willing to tell me all the facts. Don’t think I’ll ever know, and this is the only person (R) that can tell me, shed the light that seems to be permanently switched off from me finding anything out. Stress out and driving mad is an understatement, with not knowing, but meh, kept my distance and just tried to have a party with everyone else, my staff; and my family (Ex-store colleagues)!
Ha, was minding my own business and got smacked on my butt, turned around to see a rather drunk ex-business manager try and sneak past, lol, yeah, she’s the one that apparently ‘hates’ me (Vicki L); and wanted me ‘out’ of my previous store in June, until Lucy B told me a few weeks back that it was a lie and yeah, well going by that ‘smack’ Lucy could well of been right on that one. A cover-up of the truth to hide what was really going on, and I should of been informed of that from day one!! Safe to say I spoke to a few people regarding it throughout the night, made it clear that the only way it will ever be resolved is if ‘R’, her parents and I sit in a room together and thrash it out, until we have a resolution. Otherwise this will just go on and on; and I made it clear to the ones from the old store that I ‘know’ about that Group chat, that, as far as I’m concerned was the trigger to all of the problems. Said, “Something has happened in the 4 months I left, something said in that chat to go from having someone you consider and call your ‘Best Friend’ to go to being called everything under the sun, threatened with legal action; and barred from your previous place of employment based on hearsay and gossip!” 
Only ‘R’ has the answers, only she can ultimately end this. Never going to happen though is it! 
So, after the venue, after my ‘family’ had gone back to their apartment for a DJ-less end to their night and one of them sent away with one of my business cards to find their online entertainment for the night, lol, (Well hey, I may not be there for obvious reasons, but doesn’t mean others can login and stream my tracks as if I were there, give them the entertainment that they were most likely lacking), we moved on to the next venue, open till 4am!!
Door Security, those annoying people that stand on the door thinking, “I’ll let all the girls in, but not any guys, unless they can think up something creative!!” Yeah, 1st I got, “You can’t go in on your own!” Fair enough, I’m not. Looked around in the small crowd congregated outside, to see one of my ex-managers with two others saying, “They won’t let you in, you haven’t got a chance!” Yeah?? Watch me, lol!! So, another Dude on the door said, “Who are you with, you can’t go in on your own?!” Ha, spotted one on the girls from my store right behind me, a stunning girl (Got a boyfriend before you ask; and too young anyhow, 21/22, I think!). So, I said, “I’m with Paige, I’m with this young lady!” Dude was like, “Are you with him?” In a shocked look, lol, she was like, “Yeah, he’s with me, we’re together!” Hehehehe. In I bounce to turn around in the door way and look at the 3 stuck outside, whom were looking at me going, “No freaking way?!!!” Shout out to them, “Told you I’d get in, haha, have a nice night, I know I will!” 
Got inside, found 2 of the other stores in there along with a handful from my store; and I stayed there till 3:40am!
So despite the brief 2 hours of having ‘R’ avoid me; and give me the evils on seeing me, I had a pretty good night!
Sat here now, obviously typing this out, lol, listening to my Soundcloud mix that I posted above; and thinking, “What’s next?!” Well, I’m still getting job offers sent to me, can’t not look at them, but I think if I do go for them, my career with my current employer might be over, as a minimum term contract abroad is for 3 months!! I get 5 weeks 3 days off a year, anything longer, and I have no idea if they will accept it like they do with the students we have that go off to 6-month long industrial placements and then return back at the end of them. Guess I’ll have to ask, but it’s with the Manager whom clearly likes to lie and shout, so yeah, not looking forward to that one!! Still, got until the end of January to submit any applications, as that seems to be the cut off for all the job sites for working abroad. Saying that though, they are advertising multiple on-going jobs here in the UK, even for NYE, so that’s another avenue I can look at.
Really wish I’d started that instagram account a long time ago, it’s done nothing but introduce me to new things since joining!!
Time to get some food, possibly breakfast, even though it’s 18:27pm, lol! I was in that store topic before coming here, still waiting like many, for my order to switch from ‘Processing’ to ‘shipped’. Not going to send in a ticket just yet. I thought that waiting from the 20th November was a long time, but I’ve seen people have been waiting since October, so I know they’l get to me eventually. Well, I hope they do, as I’ve seen that some orders have had to be manually entered, so here’s hoping mine hasn’t gone iffy in the system, like their’s has!
Speak later.
NH.
