Where did all that optimism go?

I'm feeling utterly deflated right now. My teacher gave me feedback for the topic I've chosen for my major assignment. She included this example that actually has nothing to do with the angle I was looking at covering in my topic. I was going to look at aesthetics, she suggested something that involves copyright and ( Read more... )

I am never doing stocktake again. Never. It is ridiculous to expect your staff to stay until 10pm. If stocktake is going to take six hours, you close the store earlier. It would be different if we'd been warned that it would take so long, but all the roster said was 4 - ??? and last year it only took a couple of hours. We'd finished scanning ( Read more... )

Whoever thought touch button stovetops were a good invention was clearly an idiot ( Read more... )

Went shopping today, it was meant to be spirit-lifting and fun. At first it was. I bought a long-sleeved hooded shirt and a sweet peach-coloured t-shirt with a sparrow on it from Jeans West. Contemplated raincoats which was much harder than it sounds and then I went to Sportsgirl where I fell in love with a pair of stockings. They are black opaque ( Read more... )

I am severely pissed off at Magazine Publishing. Today I found out that even though I've done all the work, the teacher is going to give my group an overall mark instead of marking us individually, "because of all the trouble we've had." Yes, we had drama, but I handled it and got the shit done. Why should other people leech off my hard work when ( Read more... )

I'm clinging to my sanity by a quickly fraying thread. Mother has been home less than a week and I am already gasping for my own space; she is driving me mental. It's the little things that irk me the most. Things like coming into my room whilst I'm alseep and putting clothes in to be washed that I wasn't ready to wash yet ( Read more... )

Mum is home from France tomorrow. I've gotten used to living the independent life, it's going to be difficult to adjust again.

No more Doctor Who marathons whenever I feel like it. *wistful sigh* No more spur of the moment take-out dinners or doing the dishes when I feel like it ( Read more... )

Work was uber stressful today thanks to Father's Day new releases and lack of staff. I started early for the second day in a row.

I am really irritated at the Australian publisher of Breaking Dawn. Originally the book was meant to be embargoed - meaning you aren't allowed to sell it till the release date. But now it turns out that Breaking Dawn ( Read more... )

Today Caitlin, Jen and I saw Get Smart in the city. We loved it. Especially the Muffins of Mass Destruction line as it reminded us of Gerard's "Kill 'em with deliciousness" ramble. On our way to the shopping centre, I had some random Asian lady tell me to be quiet. So what is my oh so intelligent and witty response? "No, you be quiet." Bravo Liz, ( Read more... )
