Yesterday was very good indeed, as I mentioned before got that email to kick off the morning, followed by the UPS man turning up with a package for me, my new zildjian k 20" custom dark ride (the replacement for the one I cracked). The packaging was so mass intense it took me about half an hour to unwrap it. It seems shinier than the one i had before (not sure if its a brilliant finish.. its just probably a traditional but shiny because it's new as i've forgot what my other one looked like when it was brand new). I reckon anyway it will go all dirty like my other one, it sounded awesome. When I get a job I'm going to invest in another K crash (probably 19" or 20") as my other two spares are currently cracked and I don't fancy using my brilliant finish K all the time. I fancy a bigger ride as well after using that meinl one but anyway going to keep using that now and again despite it having a chunk out of it.
This entry was from last week.. unfortunatly just as I was writing this and talking to someone my broadband inadvertly disconnected.. then it wouldn't reconnect. It was that night where the rain was lashing down so I assumed that it was because of that. Well I waited and I waited and no joy it was still saying the PPP server was down. So a few phonecalls to orange and I kept getting fobbed off with a different excuse as to why it wasn't working, a few threats of cancelling my account and I'm having my line checked and being sent a new box.. by the end of this week, if there is still no resolve I'm cancelling my account because I am not paying £18 a month to have no internet access whatsoever apart from obviously duh when the librarys open and I do my computer programming skills to get on the sites I want at xscape et al.
Today then I've had a job interview as a supervisor/manager of a clothes store at xscape, they letting me know tomorrow but the interview seemed to go well. I've got a more important one on friday as a data intergrity officer.. I think the interview involves an exam as well as them asking me awkward questions. The test I'm assuming involves a spelling/grammer test of some description in addition to my B gcse in English as well as probably a typing test.
Last night we had practice, I think one of the best we've had definently, got a new song we should be playing next week as well as a reinterperation of spitfire jukebox that debatably sounds better than the original, its definently a different approach and I think the four of us and really liking the new version, anyway we'll see what people think!
