Monday has just happened in your fucking face.

Weekend was good. London zoo: penguins. Then Japanese food and sake.

Just saw in the paper that Terry Pratchett's daughter is a computer game script writer. Best.

Tell me of life in all its inanities.

It was light when I arrived in Glasgow at 7am this morning.

This means it's now officially SUMMER.

I accidentally clicked into the football thread a few minutes ago

what a terrible way to start (well, end for me) a Monday!

  Personally, i think it's one of the finest football threads these boards have ever seen.

Odd weekend.

I have a sleeping debt of about 12 hours I reckon. Can't concentrate on anything. URGH.

Yesterday afternoon my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to buy a new telly. Went to John Lewis, picked it out, but bloody out of stock, wasn't it? So disappointing. Oh well.

First day back at work after a week off

Thankfully the Singstar mics and 7 games I ordered for a party in a couple of weeks were here waiting for me which has cheered me up a bit. Gonna sing my little heart out tonight.

Hiya

Woke up at 6:15 by my Grandma on the phone this morning wishing me HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'd forgotten it was March. I pegged some washing up onto a clothes line yesterday for the first time in my life. Felt good.

- great.
  
  Friday: took the dog to get his toenails clipped, had KFC and then took him a walk up the Braes. Then got drunk and watched Perks of Being A Wallflower.
  Saturday: went and bought an acoustic guitar and built a chest of drawers. sat out in my garden and drank Asahi Super Dry.
  Sunday: Slow day. Finished the second drawers and watched four episodes of Game of Thrones season 2.
  
  This week: applying to become a chartered engineer and hopefully a promotion at work.

Was asleep by 9pm last night, I'd forgotten how it feels to not be tired!

Expecting a call back about a job I went for a few weeks ago at some point this week. Fairly confident about it (felt alright in the interview and there are 60 odd positions going).

Going out for a meal for my dad's birthday tonight at a really nice pub, in one of the roughest bits of town.

  - I haven't had a payslip in a while
    
    I blamed the council for being useless, but this morning I was rummaging through some drawers looking for some scissors, and I found a pile of my payslips, including the most recent one. I texted a lad I work with that I actually like saying "what the fuck" and he aid my most recent one was out on the desk on Saturday SO the person who worked here on Saturday night must have put it in the drawers. I don't know for sure, but it makes sense.
    
    I'm not going to say anything to him. A) I'm not going to give him the satisfaction B) I can't be arsed C) it's going to go in my dossier of terrible things he's done and will be sorry for.

despite the hideous amount of work I have to do in the next four weeks.

my weekend didn't really happen, I was either at work on the library. the highlight was probably listening to that new 13-minute Mark McGuire song through the huge speakers in the radio studio.

Hi, I had a very a nice weekend.

Got completely smashed on cheap booze in the RA bar on Friday night, on the walk through Mayfair I saw a young man smoking with one of those cigarette holders a la Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

On Saturday went to Dover and Bodiam castles. My friend got walloped in the face by a faulty door. Stopped off in Tunbridge Wells at an absolutely lovely pub called the Ragged Trousers then parked by Tower of London and went to Bodeans (which wasn't as good as it used to be), was too tired and full to do anything else so went home and watched Game of Thrones.

Sunday did nothing but watch the #NLD in the local and got pizza delivered during the match (from a place called Firezza, it was pretty damn good).

  So tired. Even though I got eight hours sleep! (which puts me on a weekend deficit of about only 7 hours.)

    And then my cat decided that wasn't what it wanted. It took me about an hour to actually get up and remove her. And then I was awake FOR EVER.
    
    HOWEVER!!!! I have just noticed that I have earned 76p interest!

    It was the third time we tried to see it and closed at the weekend so we arrived before it opened and were told it would be a 3 hour queue which, whilst obviously daft, was definitely doable but then after 3 hours we were told it would be another 3 hours minimum and by that time you've put in too much queue time to just give up. Absolute shambles.
    
    The thing is only 6 people a time can see the sodding thing but there's no constraint on how long you can stay in it so some people would be in there for 5 minutes and others would spend an age in there without anyone ushering them through. The artist stipulated that there shouldn't be a time constraint apparently which is all well and good and lovely but given the queue that the policy generated they really should have done something about it because after waiting all that time it could have been Elvis boxing Tupac with the Lord Jesus Christ reffing it and I would have been pissed off and underwhelmed.

    - they really should have charged for it
      
      even a few quid would've got rid of like 70% of that queue

        Yea, it's bullshit
        
        I think in many ways it's a victim of it's own popularity in that sense, it would have been legitimately a pretty cool thing to experience if it was a case of turning up and just wandering through, in those conditions I can see why the artist would want people to take their time with it etc but it's turned into this huge thing now and I'm pretty sure the artist didn't intend people to be experiencing it totally exhausted and pissed off after a 7 hour queue.
        
        The fact it opened at 11 when the centre opens at 9 seems daft as well, it's fine to be taken aback by something being unexpectedly popular but the organisers have to be able to react to the demand as well.

        That was definitely the main issue as well
        
        It was so infuriating to see the disparity in length that the people at the front of the queue experienced before getting in. Some people would be in almost immediately when they got to the front and other times the queue literally didn't move for 45 minutes.

fairly average weekend

had a few drinks, watched UFC on Fuel, listened to the Atoms For Peace album and worked on a essay based on the Gaia Hypothesis.

I have today off as sort of a delayed birthday present from work which is nice though.

Feeling more positive about life and shit in general.

Had a lovely lunch with my daughter on Saturday (spending Tesco vouchers in Pizza Express certainly relieves some of the financial strain). She helped me choose a wooly hat in Top Man.

Went to the north norfolk coast yesterday afternoon with some good friends, nice walk along the beach at Salthouse. Blew the cobwebs out.

Top weekend

Few beers in town on friday after work ended up at a mates works do and didn't pay for a drink all night. Went to the UAF rally and then into chorlton to watch the football on Saturday. Sunday nice trip out to Stalybridge to watch a bit of non league.
