Right, so here's the latest. Still working at the same place I have been for the last... four months? Something like that. Still haven't got a permanent contract, but there has been a sighting. They're working on the job description, but as their accounts person only works one day a week, I will have to wait till wednesday before I am officially on ( Read more... )

So I pulled an extra long shift yesterday helping out on one of the machines printing some sort of clothing catalogue. At one point I glanced at a page of the catalogue and read "There's no excuse for not looking greek." Yeahhh... Greeks are cool. (2 minutes later) Wait. Whut? (re-reads) Oh. Looking GREAT. Yeah. That makes more sense ( Read more... )

Okay, so over the last few months I've been wallowing in emo-bluesy-gloomy-wangst. But no more! (He says, optimisitically). Although right at this moment, I'm in deeper crap than ever, I'm going to be utterly naively positive, Dammit! (Seriously, I'm not going to survive it, otherwise)

One fine morning at work this week, (around 6am-ish) I caught myself humming "Hey Jude" by the Beatles. Not sure how that earworm got there, but hey. Soon that morphed in my head to "Hey Dude" and led to me wandering around for at least half an hour muttering "Whoooaaaah... Juuudeee." in a Stoner-surfer voice.

Then I tried to imagine what a Beach ( Read more... )

So it's 2010 already.  We're rapidly overtaking the classic sci-fi movies/comics and yet lagging far behind in the promised technologies.

Where's my personal robot, dammit? And my flying car? And... bah.

On other news, I was re-reading my copy of Dune the other day (well, a couple of weeks ago, I'm behind here)- a sci-fi classic that overcomes the ( Read more... )

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer. 93% won't copy and paste this. Will you?

What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?

Oh so very many things. Worked in an icecream factory, worked at a rubbish dump, cleaned public toilets...

Oh, did you mean positive things?

Did you keep your new years' resolutions?

I don't make resolutions anymore, cos I always break 'em.

Did anyone close to you give ( Read more... )

Well, that was a weekend and a half. I worked both days - extra Temp work for Xmas - and went and saw a movie on the Saturday night. So that was seven days straight of working - and I'm still going. Yeah, well, it pays the bills. And the movie was Avatar and I saw it with mr_razorz  at the 10.40pm session and it was awesome. Although I now think of it as ( Read more... )
