Line from a show, alright. I'm not feeling suicidal or anything crazy like that. Gee. What are *you* smoking today? (S'alright Joss, I don't really need to know the answer to this - it's a rhetorical question :P ). I reckon it could be a hoot with song titles like "It sucks to be me", "Everyone's a little bit racist", "I'm not wearing underwear today", "You can be as loud as the hell you want when you're making love", and "The Internet is for porn"; and characters such as "Gary Coleman - yes, *that* Gary Coleman" and "Lucy the Slut"
I got up today...begrudgingly. Honestly, I had the worst night's sleep ever. I mean, it was solid sleep - I don't recall waking up - but when I woke up this morning it felt like I'd not had any sleep at all! So come 6.50am when my body clock tells me it's time to get up I resisted. The only thing that managed to get me up (short of the bladder) was the fear that if I slept in I'd miss a call for work! As it turns out, I didn't. Grr ;) I pottered around (avoiding the dishes) and played...go on, bet you can't guess...Solitaire! Phone rang and it was another recruitment crowd who, again, were impressed with my CV (why? It's no more impressive than the next person's) and want me to come in for an interview tomorrow. Sweet. At least these guys were up front and said I'd have tests :s Don't like that idea too much, but the things we do. When I realised that it was 10.30am (last time I focussed on the time it was 9am!!! Damn, addictive solitaire!) I thought, "well, P., it's about time to go outside and do something". I couldn't agree with myself more ;) Went into town to the bank...again (I'm sure they know me by name when I walk in the door now ;) ). I was right (again!). My credit card *was* ready and waiting for me. Whoo! Free money! :) No, I'm serious. It *is* free money! No interest until the end of August. Phew - means I should be able to pay the rent! They, for some bizarre reason, sent me three PINs for the card. The guy was most confused (about everything, not just the 3 PINs)... He told me to open each one and see if it worked (derrr). I opened the first one & it worked (ain't I amazing, picking the right one first time!) - so I changed it. When I opened the other two at home later it turns out all three PINs were the same... So much for my amazingness ;) After the bank I wandered around again. The sun was shining, so I was in a short-sleeved shirt...everyone else was still wrapped up in scarves etc. What is it with these freaks!? I saw one guy in a T-shirt & shorts (heard him speak: Aussie). But anyhow, it was a loverly day. Walking around aimlessly, getting on the odd tube, and generally wasting time. On the way home I called into the supermarket and got some groceries. I still can't believe how cheap food is here. Not sure about meat though. Still living off salads, fruit & pasta and the likes. Did see a pot set for £1 more than I paid for the bloody one fry pan I got the other day... That bloody Murphy again! ;) Came home, unpacked, had a couple of crackers and then went to the Internet cafe (damn! Forgot to get stamps!). Applied for more jobs (the story of my life), and generally pissed around. Changed my details at uni, checked emails, cancelled a couple of things, and...not sure where the rest of the time went, but it did go. No sooner had I walked in the door when the phone rings (must change the ringtone - I'm becoming immune to the sound of sirens etc, which is my current ringtone). Was the recruitment company that gave me the day's work on Friday. They're putting my CV forward for a job as a Data Analyst. I said I could do it...I guess I could, we'll see if I get it. It's a 3-month contract - £25-30kpa (so about £12-14/hr). Would be nice. Will keep you posted (well, once I get all these up onto the blog site I will - sorry about that).
