They say the future's out to get you

So I did Dave a favour today and opened the store for him; it was only going to be 10 to 11, one hour. But unfortunately, 'twas not the case. At 11.30, I was starting to get a little bit anxious, and then who walks in? Ash. I haven't seen him for months, but he strolls in and starts asking me questions - "Why is this sitting here? Why hasn't this been done? Why do these have no notes on them? Why is the confectionery sitting there? What are you doing about this?" I wanted to fucking strangle him, but I replied to most of his questions with, "I don't have an answer for that. I've been away."

Dave finally rocked up at 12.30 - he'd been held up in roadworks - and I got out of there as soon as possible. I go back to work at 6 tonight, so no doubt Dave will tell me all about Ash's various complaints. That man is an idiot; Dave works really hard, and it's tough when there's just me and a gaggle of teenagers. Ash's expectations have always been a little on the unreasonable/unrealistic side.

I drove into town afterwards to sort out this TAFE business. I'll have four classes this year - Write for Film and TV, my elective Write Fiction 2, Write Articles for Publication 2, and Examine Contemporary Australian Society - and I need to enrol in two of them, because of some administrative cock up. But the woman I needed to speak to was at lunch, so I waited for an hour, and when she hadn't come back, I left a message and went home. Waste of time, really. But with any luck we'll get it all sorted.

The writer's strike in the US is over! Thank god for that. I hope Supernatural isn't one of the TV shows they're leaving by the wayside, it'll be happening to a number of shows that aren't well-established. But it's been around for three years now, so hopefully that will be enough for these people. Anywho, I'm off to watch some eps of Boston Legal before workies.
