I wanted to fall asleep on the train to work this morning and wake up somewhere else. I really don't like this working 6 days a week thing. I was supposed to start at 11am today, but they asked me to start earlier. I said yes, because, quite frankly, working 11-3.30 my day is already ruined.

I did not know about the different legislations that have been passed in the UK regarding discriminations of various kinds - on the grounds of gender, race ( ( Read more... )

Cutty Sark: It made me very sad and angry that it burnt down. And even worse  - that someone may have burned it down on purpose.

Facebook: I joined facebook this week. It's pretty cool, better than MySpace (which I am ashamed to say I have joined. I don't use it, it's a bit crap really ;-) Livejournal is great, but most people I know don't use it. ( Read more... )

It has been ages since I have written here or in my other webjournal. Time to rectify this. I am duty manager today, and I have a little "spare" time. Well, in truth it is currently my lunch hour, but still!

Today has been an "interesting" day so far.

As part of my TDM training (trainee duty manager), I have to complete a full evacuation of the ( Read more... )
