Yet again, it has been far too long since i last posted in this.
I have been in Croatia for a fortnight. It was great. Much nice weather and scenery. I got to drive about as well which was really strange, being the opposite way around and all. Lots of good food. Cheap beers. Funny language.
I have started a summer placement as well as working in pizza hut at the weekends, equating in 56 hours of work a week with no days off. bleh. It's at a building firm that do a lot of work for housing associations and drive all over Scotland to do-up houses. I have been employed to audit and analyse their waste, energy expendature and transport use to see if there are any areas that they could improve to become more efficient and/or environmentally friendly and at the same time, drive down costs. So far it's ok, a bit boring, but at the moment i'm just gathering numbers, which involves sifting through piles of invoices. Hopefully once this bit is done, i can get a bit more creative and hopefully offer them some good advice that they might actually listen to.
I have resit to study for too, which is the last thing i need on top of work. I suppose it's not till the end of august so if i start now then i should be fine.
It's a bit non-stop at the moment. i feel very busy, and am a bit bummed i've not managed to see half the folk i've wanted to since i've been back. Hopefully i can make amends to this soon.
Two of my favourite people at pizza hut are leaving/left, which blows. they were a big laugh so they were. There are many new people who i can't remember the names of and are all dead young.... well 18-ish. its a bit frightening how i think that this is young now. *woe*
Sweet Chin are getting gigs confirmed which is really cool and the munchkins have some in the pipeline also. I am happy about these facts. Both may be recording soon, this too excites me.
i am also very happy about sonic youth, biffy clyro and connect festival creeping ever closer!
anyhoo, time to open a maths book i suppose
