SoS was good, a much-needed venting of various stresses ( Read more... )

Work is mad busy. I'm currently spending my days creating and dismantling box forts in the vain attempt to inventory a massive contract before the unfeasible deadline expires. However, I've now got into my stride and the data entry speed they originally hired me for is once again shining - to the point where I have to tell people not to try and ( Read more... )

So, that was Odyssey. I have to say, despite major initial reservations I ended up enjoying the event even if the non-healing Philosopher game did seem a bit weak on stuff to do compared with a lot of the other paths (most other people were run off their feet, we seemed to be twiddling thumbs a lot). I believe this point has been raised to PD, so I ( Read more... )

So, Odyssey, then. Currently my bothered guage has the orange light on. And, despite my ever so subtle hints, very few seem to want to change this and offer me reasons why this is going to be something other than an expensive way not to have a lie in.

It was new and refreshing and surprisingly pleasant. Since my Mum got laid off from NatWest I've ( Read more... )

Due to the complete and utter lack of work coming in at the moment, all of the non-essential staff have been laid off. Luckily, this does not include me (not that I'd have objected to a couple of days of unplanned holiday, but I'm not going to complain as money is all good). There are 8 people on our floor at the moment, and the quietness is ( Read more... )

This weekend I took a much needed break from reality and curled up in my pit for the duration with the phone off, the curtains closed and my entire collection of historical drama/kit porn movies that I don't normally get to watch when Adam's in. Plus a duvet and a freezer full of leftover curry bits ( Read more... )

Due to the aforementioned horribleness, yesterday I found myself at a bit of a loss for something to do so I dug out my old deck of medicine cards (I say dug out. I mean brushed the dust off from where they'd been on top of the dvd player for the past x years). I bought these yonks ago during one of my hippy phases (I think I was still vegetarian ( Read more... )
