Made the horribly early train! Nearly didn't due to oversleeping - I started to read Anansi Boys (set in the same universe as American Gods) and next thing I knew I'd finished it and it was 3a.m. Oops! Thus my plan to wake up at 4:15a.m. became more of a slow realisation that actually it's 5a.m. and I should be having breakfast by now, not jumping ( Read more... )

This weekend I ventured to Cardiff, mainly in order to visit a sophia_fred but also nuchtos if the opportunity presented itself ( Read more... )

Today I got into work, drank a cup of tea and put on "Peace Sells...". By the end of Wake Up Dead I realised my left leg was jiggling about uncontrollably in time and I was fighting the urge to sing out loud and run about the office. I don't think tea + thrash + trying to read government regulatory body reports really mix that well. Eluveitie was ( 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... )

There! Replied to meme comments. That took longer than expected, wanted to be asleep by 7:30. I've been asked to come in early tonight to do 4 hours overtime (6pm - 6am). 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... )
