Monpot Gets A Job
I've been offered 3 weeks work. Me, working! Crazy I know.
Sounds like the worst job in the world as well, well not literally, but basically I'll be burning Learn To Speak Welsh CDs all day. Sounds like a hoot. Could be almost as mundaine as the teddy-bear job I had when I was 16.
Hopefully they'll give me an internet terminal or something, otherwise I might just go mad.

I was in a pubquiz the other day, and someone had put as one of their answers: Franklin ' Teddy' Roosevelt. You can't buy that kind of smug ignorance!
Re: Monpot Gets A Job
well done anyway Monpy!

On the plus side I was unsupervised so I'd turn up late, have a massive lunch break, and leave early. Also, sometimes when I got there the building was locked. I had a key, but not the alarm codes, and so on those days I'd just go to town. I watched the X-Men film in the cinema on one of those days.
I also fell asleep in the store-room a few times, and I'd be listening to music on a walkman all day.
Actually that was probably the best job I've ever had.

It strikes me as odd though that you don't have a nice job in some dusty old bookstore down a cardiff backstreet in a 'Keep the Aspidistra flying' kind of way...

My sadly-departed Aunt and Uncle used to run a ramshackle 2nd hand book shop in the Canton area of Cardiff. It was brilliant. They were constantly giving me books, I don't think I ever bought a book untill after they died. Actually, they'd give everyone books -lovely people, but no business sense.

When I used to work in a call center I'd spend a good portion of my lunch-breaks in Waterstones, I quite like being surrounded by books, it's calming. Libraries are the best because they're free.

Waterstones ain't so bad
Is the Cardiff economy on the up then ?

Put some of your hard earned away so that you can come to the next London shindig (like SCL's next night or soemthing).

Once the 3 weeks are up I'll be like Christian Bale in The Machinist I think.

7 in 2 minutes sounds quite exciting. Must be thousands of them to do though if it's a 3 week job!
I'm hopeing I get loads of blank CDs to steal.
