Yay, I got my first wage yesterday. I only received £35 of it because I had to pay my parents back, like, £200, but still. My wages will be getting a nice boost come March, too, because any and all overtime in March is going to be paying double time to encourage everyone to get the impending shiteload of work done. Seriously, the end of the tax year rocks!
Jamal and I finished our training on Wednesday. Now we do proper work. It's considerably more hectic than doing a bit and taking our time so our trainer can see how we're doing, but it's nice being able to just get on with things now.
The only folks of our age group in our team are three bimbos. Seriously, they're blonde, they're stupid and all they talk about are their boyfriends and getting drunk. They were there a week longer than Jamal and I, and they finished training on the same day. Since there's no one else we can really relate to, we just kinda keep to ourselves at lunch time, which is cool because Jamal is really quite awesome.
Valentine's Day was very good. Loli got me a Dragonball manga, a cuddly elephant named Ellie and "I (Heart) You" Thornton's chocolate; made me six icingly good fairy cakes; and wrote me a lovely letter. The big plush Kero I gave her felt a bit inadequate...
I haven't seen any of my friends in a long while. This needs to be rectified, but I get home from work at 6:30pm, I have a weekly driving lesson from 4 to 6 on Saturday and I visit my grandparents on Sunday afternoons, so all I really have are weekend evenings. Someone, gimme a call if your weekend evenings are free, please.
I have a weird rash thing on the left of my face. It's like something's been clawing at me. It doesn't itch; it just hurts like a bruise. I'm scared to shave in case I make it worse.
