Yay, I got my first wage yesterday. I only received £35 of it because I had to pay my parents back, like, £200, but still. My wages will be getting a nice boost come March, too, because any and all overtime in March is going to be paying double time to encourage everyone to get the impending shiteload of work done. Seriously, the end of the tax ( Read more... )

What a predictable day. I was right: same thing over and over again. It'll be that way for a long while before I get to do anything slightly better (woo, a smidgen of variety, raise the frickin' roof).

Today was just about Jamal (who likes to be called "Jay", but no way he's getting that) and I getting to grips with the workplace, its surroundings ( Read more... )

Got me a job, I did. About bloody time, too. It's temporary processing work for the busy end of the tax year in National Australia Group in Clydebank. For those who don't know: National Australia Group is the business that owns Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank.

I've practically been told outright that my job will be highly monotonous; as in, I ( Read more... )

Right, meant to type this up two days ago, but things kept coming up, so I didn't. But here it is now, for your reading pleasure.

Saturday was veeery much fun. Headed down to Loli's and sat about for a little while, then made our way into town. On the way, we bumped into McCabe and had a brief but colourful discussion about snowball glassball ( Read more... )

Where am I? My house. Where should I be? Plymouth with my dad. Why am I not there? Fuckin' FOG ( Read more... )

Alliteration's awesome, ain't it?

Aye, so, that's me gone up to Uni for the last time today. I did more than my fair share of the MDP report and the rest of my group can now reap the benefits, while I am out £10.50 on train tickets up to meetings. I got a raw deal, but I have a mild warm fuzziness from the knowledge that I did the right thing.

So ( Read more... )

That's me quit Uni. Even if I'd managed to keep up with the deadlines, I'd've wound up dying of a heart attack before long anyways. I'm too neurotic for that life.

So, I guess the old basic entry format of "intro - Uni - mates - Loli - ending" is out the window. Hopefully the "Uni" part will be replaced with "work" relatively soon.

I'm still not ( Read more... )

I finally sat down and did something to the way this thing looks. I'm rather chuffed with it, too, which is a Plusle.

I haven't seen much of anyone but Nik and Loli lately ( Read more... )

Ho-ho, second entry. The ball's rolling now, eh? Anyway...

Hung out with Nik and Alison today. We met up bang on time and headed for KFC, where both chicken and laughter were plentiful. Got a taxi to Nik's and spent the best part of about 6 hours playing Super Smash Bros: Mêlée, Soul Calibur 2 and Lego Star Wars. Fuckin' yass ( Read more... )

Can't think what to put here. Saying that, it'll probably end up long as hell in the end.

Right, University. It seems like I'm gonna fail the practice (and so not actually important, thank fuck) group project for one of my classes because none of my other group members are keeping the lines of communication open and I've no idea where everyone is ( Read more... )
