I have an excuse for not updating! Yeah, I’m ill again. I’ve been coughing, not unlike a car backfiring, for the past few weeks. If the amount of snot I am currently blowing out of my nose onto a tissue can be described as having a good time, then this illness has been fun. Not [...]

Golly goodness me, where has that semi-properly-employed wench got to? (re: the rant below. This followed a below average day in the ongoing war between retail and customers. Thankfully, there was no blood, as glasses are suprisingly sharp. I’m also annoyed at the sensation of boldly going nowhere. Now, an hour out of my mood, [...]

Child at School: “Miss! Miss!

I know that, with the announcement of the recession being over, I should be happy as things will get easier. Theoretically, I’ll [...]

Today, I am happy. Having a few days of nothing to speak of meant that I was able to move on to the hellish medium level of Guitar Hero (suddenly, having to use my little finger to press the blue means that my hands are even more painful), catch up on the epic Pratchett season [...]

After a day where my brain decided “Hey, what if you decided to now progress backwards to the point where you forget when to change gear?” during my driving lesson, I went along to the school where I have helped out all this (school) year. For a job I am applying for, I preferably need [...]
