Well, I got my bag back. I went in after work but it was locked in the managers office who didn't come on shift until 7 so I had a pint while I waited. Brought my bag over once she was in, very pleased to have it back, I wouldn't like it if I lost it. I then had another 3 pints before wandering home for a spinach and chilli laced pizza and attempting to play half life while a smidgen pissed. The pigeons are flying round in a big group just outside the window, fascinating to watch. Looks like the new job has been put on hold, I hope that that is nothing to do with my fuck up, but knowing my luck, one of the very rare fuck ups I make will have catastrophic consequences. Got posted through a load of christmas card labels and a notepad from Cancer Research. Don't know how they got my details, I can only assume it was from donating to that justgiving thing for lappy. Find it a bit shit that they have wasted money sending me out all of this stuff, which must cost them. If they had asked me I would have been able to tell them I don't send christmas cards (except to mam dad and sister) as I have nee mates and I hate christmas. But instead, just send it out regardless. Such a waste, of paper and resources, all I can do is recycle them now I guess. They also sent a quite ridiculous pen as well, the central ink tube is just enclosed in a flat piece of plastic. Which is hardly easy to write with so I'm not going to leave that in my tray at home, it will be going in the bin.
Going to do a little christmas shopping tomorrow, going to treat my girlfriends parents to a PVR as they can't figure out how to tune a video, never mind program it, they should find it easier with the PVR. Also going to get mesel some clothes at Gap utilising a 30% off voucher Catryan sent me. I always feel embarrassed using vouchers but even more so when it's just a printed out pdf. I'll get the missus to pay for them instead.
Haven't had the courage to send my mail saying I'm not going to go to the Christmas party, it's just there, minimised, waiting for the click.
Another spinach, Guinness and chilli shit today, always an interesting experience.
That book on conciousness I'm reading is very good, I'll write a big thing about that at some point, but it will be boring for most so I'll keep it confined to its own easily ignorable entry.
Two threads on the board today that are just fucking stupid. the 'what should he get' thread, which consists of men trying to outdo each other and getting excited over ever more elaborate and barbarous ways of killing a convicted paedophile, which for some reason always involve weapons that have to be rusty. 'yeah, well, I'd have liquid shit pumped up through his penis with tiny bits of broken glass in while I gradually sand away his nipples with a dremel multi tool as someone else pushes a whole pineapple encrusted with rusty razorblades into his mouth....yeah, yeah?' fucking idiots. That and the quite ridiculous branding of prisoners one. |
