My electricity finally got approved, what a picky twat he was. The final tweak was an alteration on the grass that was barely visible. Well, I say approved, they have to go off to be approved by the end slient now, I'll despair if they change anything. So that leaves me with not too much to do at this present time but it looks like we have some ace work coming in, including some F1 stuff. nice.
Went up to Pret again today but the sadnwich was loaded with far too much cream cheese, I almost retched at one point but avoided it by scooping some out my mouth with a serviette. Bumped into our old accountant type bod in my walk down the high street. Was one of those uncomfortable ones where you initially go to walk past with the 'hi there, alright?' but the conversation continues and you have to wheel around to go to face to face mode for a horribly uncomfortable chat. One o fhis opening questions 'Still have a job then?', what the fuck does that mean? yes, of course I do, are you suggesting I shouldn't or something. Got through the usual pleasantries but thankfully he bought it all to a swift end so we could go our seperate ways. He used to drive me up the wall when I first started working here as a freelancer. In terribly English fashion I feel terrible talking about money. I used to put in my invoices and things to him but he'd never issue a cheque without me asking. And even then he would forget and I would feel fucking rubbish going and asking for a cheque again, like some street beggar. Once he forgot 4 times so the producer woman took pity on me and sorted it all out for me. She was ace, I used to have to invoice her too and she was dead canny. When she left (she was only hired for this big Action Man project we did) she said she would always miss my invoice mails as they made her laugh.
There was a fat woman sat in the window seat at starbucks staring into the distance while chewing on something, looked like a cow chewing cud.
I checked for a corpse of the catterpillar outside the shoe shop but there wasn't any sign of it. The whole day I kept thinking guiltily that I should have picked him up and taken him to a tree while I was in there. Hopefully he was ok, just to satisfy my quite pathetic guilt.
