Today has been mildly productive. Finally finished the inside of the filmsoc termcard, and worked out what I'm doing for the outside (so shall get on with that after posting). Dad and I had a hilarious time trying to find the spare lightbulbs - I eventually found them in the clingfilm/baking foil draw. Mum had tidied them away. Why the hell did she ( Read more... )

Last shift at the Royal Mail completed! Woo! It's sad that I'll probably not see most people I worked with there for at least a year, if I ever do see them again. Have exchanged email addresses with a couple of them though, so it's not a completely severing of ties. :) In a few hours I'll be catching a train up to Edinburgh, joined by smowton as it calls ( Read more... )

Due to radio issues at work, I've dusted off my iPod for the first time in months, possibly a year, in order that I do not go insane from the inane-ness that is Heart FM. Unfortunately, this means I've also had to dust off iTunes as I wanted to play music I've acquired since I stopped using it. It takes FOREVER for it to finish archiving - ( Read more... )

The workers of the Royal Mail sorting office in Doncaster today were spared a beserk homicidal one girl rampage when Heart FM was FINALLY shot in twain with the Arrow (rock radio). Yay for managers who will do random things like change the station when asked! That infernal thing had been blasting out insipid whinging epics since at least 10pm ( Read more... )

Not sure that's a good idea really, but I'll do it for one night and see how it goes. I get the impression that they'd quite like to have me on that for the rest of the week, and ( Read more... )

Nights are odd. I haven't seen proper daylight since Monday afternoon (dawnlight doesn't really count). Hopefully I shall wake up early enough this afternoon to remedy that, at which point I shall reply to the comments on my previous post. :) Sorry for the delay! Work at the Royal Mail is ok. I get paid to do lots of lifting and labelling of boxes ( Read more... )

I turned up to work at the Royal Mail sorting office at 11:50am, only to find no-one in reception. A nice guy found me a supervisor who then said, "Oh, they've been ringing up the weekend workers to say they weren't needed anymore, and to ask if they'd go on nights." Did anyone ring me? Did they fuck. Anyway, she took my details and put me down for ( Read more... )
