This is a small collection of quotes, questions and general enquiries that I heard while working over Christmas, at other jobs, and just recently.

In case you have been racking your brains with worry, I am still not dead. I have just been working full time, and haven’t been able to update. I took on a few extra shifts to help out a few members of staff, and so haven’t been able to sit down and write as usual. [...]

I am actually over the jetlag now. I am now working overtime at the Christmas job, and honest to God I have not had the time to sit down and just type. I’m taking the fact that I have no spare time and struggle to not fall asleep on the bus as a good thing, [...]

I had two rejections today-one for an application form I had just filled in, plus another for an internship I applied to a couple of weeks ago (I am particularly impressed by that one, where it is rather obvious that they copied and pasted rejections, and then just checked the name at the end to make [...]
