Work today was SLLOOOWWWW. I was quite preoccupied, though, with thinking through the upcoming changes to TDP. I went as far as snatching a piece of paper and writing down some time-lines and other notes to use. Some other major plot developments have come to mind as well; something regarding Rob's previous encounters with Teresis, the Air King and another to do with Sear the Seer.
Also, the Final Gate will get an earlier mention than originally planned - it was going to get a mysterious allusion at the end of book 2 to be realised midway through book 3. But given Sear's connection to it, I feel okay with mentioning it now. Also, it's an excuse for some amusing misdirection in book 2. XD
Anyway, the day's work was essentially standing around waiting for something to happen. But it didn't. There were about five customers all day, so it was more or less a waste of time. I overheard my father commenting on the new figures from the Office for National Statistics (which said that the UK's GDP has slipped by .6%), which he thinks mean a double dip recession is on the way. One he has little hope of the café surviving, let alone growing through.
So, it's possible that within a few months I'll be out of a job. Again. -_-
My hope is that I'll be able to put some money away for Finland before then... I just have to get out of my overdraft first. :\ (I seem to be perpetually in that overdraft, don't I?)
In happier news...
I got home to find two package waiting for me. First, my blood donor card, telling me what my Blood type is (O positive). Secondly, a T-Shirt of the 5th Doctor's costume.
I want them to make a 6th Doctor version. There's a Four shirt on Forbidden Planet too. I wonder if they'll end up doing all the Doctors??
Last night's episode of '10 O'Clock Live' made me want David Mitchell to play Ed Milliband in some sort of political drama. IS THIS WRONG!?! XD
