Thursday that feels like a Tuesday thread

jopzorz [Edit] [Delete] 144 replies 09:05, 7 June '12

Good morning.

Steve Coogan got on my train last night. Took me a while to realise (he had sunglasses on at first) and then I was hit with realisation and awe. I'm very shy at approaching celebrities, so it wasn't hard to stop myself telling him how much I loved him. http://a.yfrog.com/img864/5704/lp4hf.jpg

So chuffed it's Friday tomorrow. How's everyone's Thursday looking?

played fives last night in a storm

scored one, set up a few, and played okay. considering. 7/10.

my lady baked some bread yesterday. today i have it as my lunch. pretty happy with that, to be honest.

oh, and I am moving office and city. that's cool.

justanothersheeldz | 7 Jun '12, 09:10 | X
- Nice one!
  
  I hope the lady who makes lovely bread is joining you on your venture, where are you moving to?
  
  I want to start a fives team so bad, but I think I know a grand total of 1 other person who is at all interested in football.

Morning all

I'm tired, stayed up late playing FF VII and listening to Liars.
At least it's Thursday already. Quiet night tonight ahead of a probable MAD ONE!!111!!! tomorrow

last full day in the office this week

got my parents arriving in town tomorrow so taking a half day.

I do have 3hrs of 'decomposition' meetings though. They're definitely not as exciting and zombie-related as that makes them sound :(

my legs!

Went to see cloud nothings last night, they were very good, had to leave before the encore (if there was one) to get the train. My legs ache something rotten, will be putting my feet up tonight.

I once saw a woman that looked like Alan Partridge on a train

is that a First Capital Connect train?

I'm in work on my own wondering why I took this job and now I want to leave because it's rubbish. I have no motivation to do what I have to do and I think it's starting to show. Maybe I'll talk to my manager, maybe I won't.

CillaCrack | 7 Jun '12, 09:40 | X
- Unfortunately it is (I hate FCC)
  
  He got on at St.Albans and off at St.Pancras Intl. I spent my journey just listening to him talk and pretending he was Partridge

  - FCC are useless
    
    they are the bane of my life. They were doing maintenance works near where I live and woke me up at 2am every night for a week. I complained every day and they said they'd 'look into it'. They called back a week after the maintenance had finished to ask me if the noise had stopped. Even when I'm not on a FCC train they continue to irk me. At least you saw Steve Coogan, I guess they're partly acocuntable for that.
    
    CillaCrack @jopzorz | 7 Jun '12, 09:50 | X
    - I must admit I don't know how much of it is FCC's fault
      
      But they always seem to have 'signal failure' and crazy delays, which I've never experienced with any other operator.
      
      jopzorz @CillaCrack | 7 Jun '12, 10:21 | X
      - Oh, and they're bloody expensive and don't do advance fares
        
        And their staff always seem snotty and unfriendly. And they seem to have a lot of grotty trains.
        
        Besides all this though, they're not too shabby.

starting my new job today

first shift is 2:30 to 9, then working 5-9 tomorrow and 10-7 saturday/sunday. might try and get them to give me more shifts, quite fancy working 9-9 six days a week or something, get loadsa cash and then I'd have an excuse for not having a personal life. gotta go buy some new trousers first though, it rained yesterday and I didn't wanna go outside.

        I GOT THE JOB
        
        That is all. Working in Grands Boulevards with a view over Sacre-Coeur for something which really interests me.

        YEAH
        
        Developing a tradeable renewable certificate product for marketing on an electricity exchange gets me hot. Also, quite well paid for a placement.

        Are you around Paris all summer, then?
        
        I will come. I promise. Be great to see Jen too if she's aroudn.
        
        Verbal @lemonbrickcombo | 7 Jun '12, 13:33 | X
        
        Yup, placement's until December
        
        Sort of hope it might lead to a job, but it's early days yet.
        
        I said in yesterday's thread I'd be coming back in August/September for a few days. We should go to St John's Bread & Wine.

        I'm having a grumpy day.
        
        But I have a Double Decker.
        
        Life, she is a mysterious one.

        fucking knackered
        
        Still recovering from the stress and shock of having to dart between london, the lakes and Manchester for hen party and surprise wedding. It was a heartstopper.
        Back in London now and really busy with loads of comparatively dull stuff today, but off to scotland tomorrow. This makes me immeasurably happy. :D

        Possible trip into glasgow on Sat...?
        
        PickledOeuf @DinoMAN | 7 Jun '12, 11:58 | X
        
        Potentially actually, got no plans.

        Only if you want me to be! I'll try not to be wearing flipflops in the rain though, I promise. I will text you tmw with PLANS. X
