Woah.
Okay, it's been a while since I updated.
Quite a while, in fact. So, what's been going on with me?
Nothing. At all. Life's been a collection of "work, sleep, sing". Work is getting more fun, as Dan apologised to everyone in my section for, in his words "being a dick for the last four months". Which was quite nice of him. We can now relax more around the floor, and have more fun. I've started being "Announcement writer" for the section, which means I have to...y'know...write announcements. I don't get any extra pay, but I DO get to wear a funky hands-free kit for the store phones on weekends, so I can do the announcements. I tried it on yesterday whilst simultaneously giving a demonstration of an EyeToy game for the PS2, and ended up looking like one of those guys who direct planes in an airport.
Singing has a tale to it - I was recently in another singing contest, and got through to the finals, which was a nice thing - being recognised as a good singer by my peers, and being elevated for it. Anyway, I got through on the first heat, and went to watch the others. On the final, I knew that I'd have absolutely NO chance of winning, because the other contests (with one exception) were very good, so I figured that if I was gonig to go out, I'd go otu having a laugh. So, I bleached my hair blond and rapped.
It was fun. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/benjamin_fox/contest/
Everyone seemed to like it, but I still didn't win. The "one exception" I mentioned earlier DID, in what was a huge upset with the other singers. Fair enough, I really didn't deserve to get through, but many other people DID, and the fact that a talentless girl like the winner got through and they didn't winds me up.
Anyway. Other than that, life is dull.
