Nowhere, apparently, is safe
Was happily minding own business, walking home from the co-op at quarter to nine, and was accosted by boss in street and dragged into restaurant to chat. Cue smirking staff asking if he wanted a table for two (by the way, S looks only a little bit younger than my dad, and I, much to my eternal shame, was once ID'd for a PG), and S pretty much ( Read more... ) -
Elections and money...
Yesterday I voted for the first time, in the local and European elections. I did something in the local elections which I thought I'd never do, and voted Conservative. I have reasons. In the European I went for Liberal Democrats, as the Greens' insistence that we need a constitution concerns me. People with a legal system outlining what they ( Read more... ) -

Today I had my first Bitch Of A Customer, who spent the entire time that I was serving her talking on the phone about how this stupid woman was being so slow and how she couldn't believe she was paying this much, and then demanded that someone else remake her sandwich because she thought that the mustard was butter. I've never understood the * ( Read more... ) -
I couldn't help the userpic...
This morning, I woke up at two minutes to four, then eight minutes to five, then two minutes to six.
Needless to say, it was my first day at work. I have a disconcertingly accurate body clock - it's sometimes out by multiples of sixty minutes, that's all. On non-stressful days I will usually wake an average of three minutes before my alarm goes ( Read more... ) -
Dear Sir or Madam,
...I am writing to apply for the somewhat pedestrian vacancy advertised in your shop window / on your poorly designed website, in defiance of your staff's disavowal of any knowledge of such a position. I am a student of English literature, classical languages and, currently and with the negotiable aid of two gentlemen I know only through the ( Read more... ) -
Of poetry and editors
No, it's not nearly as exciting as it sounds.
I received an email this morning inviting me to a poetry reading and seminar for UEA's Creative Writing MA students, and a month after that a talk from editors from Faber & Faber and the Poetry Review. Apparently my creative writing tutor, Rebecca, thought that I would be interested, so I'm one of three ( Read more... ) -
Today
London was awesome. Awesome and awesome, although I think Sean and Ross grew again. Boys have a distressing habit of doing this. Every time I move to hug one I find myself having to change the angle of my neck to something unnatural. Alas, there were many people who were not there, but I expect to see them at the housewarming of my awesome flat ( Read more... ) -
>.> Further silence.
... because nothing much is happening in my life except graduating, which is proving to be exceptionally non-momentous. Currently trying to work on Golden, but having issues because, apparently, I am unable to write nasty things. Seriously. I spent three hours last night online searching for homophobic and racist insults - if anyone *was* ( Read more... ) -
