Aaah. I have hatred for job applications! Because I am bad at them! Especially when I really want the job! I am currently having to update my CV (other jobs I've applied for lately involved applications only) and gah. I wish I could draw a picture or do an expressive dance about why I wanted the job!

Oh fiddlesticks.

Here is something not fun: standing in the shower at 11pm when there is a power cut. BECAUSE: you are wet and it is dark.

My feet hurt. (You can tell it's coming up to Christmas because all the customers are turning into assholes and I'm on the unpaid-overtime train headed for nervous-breakdowns-ville.)

I'm reading Tintin and the Secret of ( Read more... )

Newsflash! The conductor of the Youth (Simón Bolívar) Orchestra of Venezuela is a hottie! He looks like a Heath Ledger/Alan Davies combination. In a good way.

I have decided to collect Weasleys! Today, Mr Weasley was in my shop. I sounded like an idiot. (I sounded like an idiot all day, not just when Mr Weasley was there. He was sweet.) That's the end of that story.

For reasons unknown, The Dark is Rising is taking me days to read. I think because the first few pages were astounding and you can't keep ( Read more... )

I got flowers! In the post! I've never got flowers before. They're so pretty! I love my friend ( Read more... )

You know when you are so tired you can't fall asleep? I am sooooo tired. And I can't fall asleep! It was absolutely MAD tonight, more than I thought it would be... we opened at 11, and there were only 4 of us in the shop and the upstairs was flooded and it was NUTS. There were people everywhere! And some of them were grumpy ( Read more... )

Okay, it rained on Thursday night (apparently a month's worth in a night? Two inches or something, which sounds a bit pathetic but wouldn't be so pathetic if I had to walk around in it, I suppose.) Anyway! Our garden was a wee bit flooded, which looks much less dramatic now but at the time it was quite a surprise.

( So here is a picture! )

Wuthering High is the best book ever. Delinquent teen shipped off to an island on the East Coast which is REALLY SPOOKY and the ELECTRONICS DON'T WORK and there's a ghost (or IS THERE?) and the hot teens investigate! And all the teachers are dead authors! Virginia Woolf drips water all over the carpet, for example. You should all read this book ( Read more... )

Today, I surfed home on the bus. (It's true! I don't hold on to the sides when I'm walking down the aisle. I just SURF! I like to think this is an idiosyncracy of mine but truthfully, I expect no one even notices, and can it be an idiosyncracy if you're the only one who knows about it? I don't think so, I think that just makes you pretentious. So ( Read more... )

SO. I am on the computer (... YES, IT IS TRUE) by the windows at the front of our house. My sister is slumped on the settee (which is a sort of burnt orange colour. We are the only people I know with a burnt orange settee) watching TV which is by the BACK WINDOWS (this establishes that we are in the same room) and this is all setting the scene to ( Read more... )
