Turns out I've been to more places than I realised...

Tonight's been my last night shift for, hopefully, quite some time.

As far as I can tell, while I'm training in my new job (that's the pretty first two years), there will be some not-so-friendly 12 hour shifts, but nothing overnight. ( And I'll be pleased to see the back of nightshifts. )

Apparently there's free champagne at work today, on account of the company being a year old.
Sod's law: I'm not in today.

Speaking of getting drunk in the middle of the day, I'm trying to get along to the Great British Beer Festival on Thursday, but don't seem to be able to find anyone to go with. And I can't go at the weekend because I'm working

I feel like ought to post something here, so here's a post for the sake of posting.

I seem to have been spending rather a lot of time in work recently, though, and it doesn't feel like I've been doing much else. (Which I'm using as an excuse for lack of posts).

We went down to a screening of Ferris Bueller's Day Off in Greenwich Park at the ( Read more... )

Cor. Sleeping in the living room is rather a good idea. I slept for nine hours yesterday. Nine hours. I think it could easily have been more - I was woken up by the flatmate getting home and being rather surprsised to find me there. I was possibly a little more surpised, because I didn't think it quite possible to wake up at 7pm.

How's this for a bit of false economising?

At the moment, we're paying £11/mo for line rental, and £21/mo for broadband (and get TV on Freesat) . All these adverts for cable got me interested, so I had a look at Telewest. Broadband and TV for £20/mo (and the channels include Sky One, E4, More4, and a couple of UKTV channels, which we don't ( Read more... )

It's too hot.

I'm on night shifts this week, and my room's too stuffy to sleep in during the day; and I can't really open the windows, thanks to the four bus routes which stop directly outside.

I bought an air mattress today, to try sleeping in the living room, which is cooler and quieter.

( But sleeping's not the only thing you can do in a bed... )

I've been on a bit of a rubbish combination of shifts this week - Wednesday 2-12pm, yesterday 12-10pm, today 10am-8pm, and 8am-6pm this weekend. It means that all I've really had time for is work and sleep, and a bit of time on the underground in between ( Read more... )

I've been on a few days of early shifts. This means starting work around 8, and so leaving the house a little after 7. The kind of people you see on the tube can be entirely different from day to day ( Read more... )
