I had a really bad day work wise today. The job is great really. I do not want to sound unappreciative cos I do feel lucky to have it and all but today was chaos! There were SO many staff working! I could not breathe without getting in someones way. And because there were loads of people working, there wasn't really much to do so kind of hung ( Read more... )

Don't you just love this sunshine? I sure do! Had a 7.30am start today which was actually quite nice because the day seemed to go quicker. At the moment I'm feeling really paranoid (Hazel? paranoid? Never!) at work. I do feel somewhat under the microscope and am so worried I'm going to say or do something wrong that might result in something bad. ( Read more... )

What a day! I'm getting good at the whole job thing though. It no longer seems like double dutch-it's more double shot tall latte baby! My feet hurt though. I have a day off tomorrow which is good. Might be going to Edinburgh at some point. It's not so much a "I've got nothing better to do," sort of visit. We might have a flat! And I'd get to see ( Read more... )

Last night was weird... some random friend of Rachael's invited us over to his gaff cos he wanted to impress a girl by showing her how many mates he had. I guess it was weird because I usually refrain from getting too drunk with people I've only just met-it's a trust thing-but I did not succeed last night. I tested out the "drink-a-pint-of-water- ( Read more... )

That's so cool! The wee face thing kinda jumps up and down! And just heard that Edinburgh Zoo have recently got in some newly born Tiger Cubs. I feel an excursion coming on.....

Yeaaaaahhhhhh! I got a job at last! Well, hardly at last. I've only been home for 3 days and haven't been hunting that long-which kinda makes it more of an achievement. I kinda feared I'd be sitting on my lazy, unemployed backside for weeks. It's in Starbucks in the retail park in Inverness. Most exciting. And I start in 2 weeks time! He he! Tis a ( Read more... )

Well, my interview didn't really happen. I turned up and they offered me chambermaiding and I asked if that was all they had on offer, which it was. I know I'm not really in a position to be picky. I'm a scummy student bleeding the workers dry of their taxes. But various folk have told me that chambermaiding is the most soul-destroying, miserable ( Read more... )

Man it's good to get away from Edinburgh and leave it all behind. But am gutted about the UEFA result. Celtic well deserved to win that and I'm not biased (honestly)! They deserved to win cos they knuckled down and put their backs into it like real men (GRR!)unlike Porto who just behaved like a group of school girls and fell over anytime a Celtic ( Read more... )

My Gran once said "only worry about things you can do something about." The first time I heard that I thought "yeah! whatever that's just like saying getting shat on by a bird is good luck-it's just another example of how to see the positive in a situation that really is a nightmare." But the more I think about it the more it makes sense. I dunno ( Read more... )

Paris kicks ass! My feet are knackered cos of all the walking but it's been worth it! Did all the touristy things-Eiffel Tower, art galleries (saw the real Mona Lisa I'll have you know!) and Sacre Coeur which was beautiful. Saw some French bawbags-that killed me. The Louvre art gallery, I still cannot get over (mentally and physically). I didn't ( Read more... )
