Wow, I am finally awake. Please note the time of this entry. It was one of those mornings when the alarm went off at 6am, I turned over, thought 'five more minutes' and then it was 7.30am. My train departs 7.56am. There was a mad mad rush. This has been the usual state of affairs this week. I'm looking forward to being off tomorrow more than I can say.
Having been at The Chamber since mid December I'm beginning to feel more like a fixture. I've finished all the work I was originally engaged to do, but they keep finding more things for me to do. It's good because it means moneys and I like most of the people in the office tremendously. It's bad, because commuting 60 miles everyday for a boring minimum wage data entry job is killing me.
That said, today's assignment was amusing. The Chamber are planning a party for the mentors, but we aren't inviting mentors 'who are gits'. So I had to go through the Big List of mentors on the database to find out who were gits and who weren't. Does anyone actually change after age 12 as regards who they want to come to parties and who they don't?
My where_no_woman fic isn't coming on as well as I'd like. It's nice, this whole writing again thing, but I'm having to think about this one a lot. Also, it doesn't help that I'm writing about a Science officer, when in fact I don't know even the first thing about physics. It's just for authenticity's sake, but still.
I've started watching Firefly during the evenings with Rebecca. Really enjoying it so far, even if Mal annoys the heck out of me and all I beat him with the 'common sense You Moron' stick most of the time. I love Kayleigh though. And Simon is pretty to look at even if he is Rebecca's.
Grandma's funeral is on Friday at 1.45pm at St. Ninian's Church on Ayr Road. All welcome.
Oh and it's Lent. If you wanted to know - alcohol, meat on Fridays, chocolate, sweeties, crisps.
