HUMP day thread
How can I take a screenshot from a Samsung mini. Some of my mother's recent texts to me need to be immortalised. I have a job interview at ten (greggs). It's nearly the weekend! !

Put it in your pocket
At some point you'll probably press the right button to screenshot it. I seem to manage it often enough...
Alternatively...

Good luck with your interview!
Did you know they have a 24 hour Greggs in Derby?
I watched The Perks Of Being A Wallflower last night and I cried. It's lovely. Should probably read the book too.
Booked my trip to Paris in May. £40 return!
£40!
I just booked a trip to Paris in May for my gf's birthday present. Two Eurostar returns plus a hotel and it's ten times that... though I've picked perfect weekend times rather than annoying midweek ones, so I guess I deserve it.
a few of my friends have a gig there
so they've organised a coach. £40 is just travel costs, mind. Still need to find somewhere to crash. In fact, if you know any cheaps places to stay let me know. When in May are you going?
May 4th.
Hope she likes it!
A New Hope
Ours cost about £660 for return travel and a 4 star hotel near the eiffel tower.
Paris is fucking brilliant though.
ooh la la
That makes me feel a bit better.
Our hotel has a great location in the Latin Quarter so was quite pleased with that. Still a lot of money though - I stuck it all on my shiny new credit card, and am waking up in cold sweats about what I've done and paying it off :(
I didn't find I spent too much when I was there though!
How old are you again? Most attractions are discounted for under 25 year olds, you just need to show EU ID.
We didn't really go out for fancy dinners or anything like that though as its not really our thing, just one trip to Laduree for lunch where we spent about 80 Euro.
I'm 25, she's 26 on Friday.
Don't know if we'll want to do many big attractions, she went a few years ago but I haven't been for years, just want to have a good wander really. Sure we'll find somewhere reasonable for dinner, though Paris is notorious for being overpriced.
<3 the Latin Quarter!
What a lovely present!
I'd quite fancy going on the Eurostar, however...
a) I have no desire to go to France or Belgium
b) Whenever I look it seems very expensive
Although I was looking at the Deutsche Bahn site and it was cheaper to get a ticket through to Berlin from them (which involves the Eurostar to Brussels) than it was for the Eurostar to Brussels.
you can go from Folkestone to Calais
if you drive. I think it's about £120 return.
I've been through the tunnel when we went to Paris on a school trip
I'd be more interested in the whizzing through Kent and France at 180mph than the 20 minutes of darkness between.
£120 is very much in that bracket of 'very expensive' (and petrol and all that). Can fly there and back for much less. Wouldn't mind going on a road trip at some point in the future though, maybe wait until I've got a car more suitable for that kind of thing
Extract from the Derby Telegraph:
- PASTIES and cakes could be sold to revellers until 4.30am after a shop applied for a late licence.
Does anyone outside of the NUJ use the word ''revellers'' ?
Greggs?!
I'm so tired. Almost halfway through the week though :D
Good luck with the interview
You can get screenshot apps from the Play store.
Minor career suicide aside, I had a good night. Although I have discovered that port makes me ridiculously farty. Honestly, it was like waking up in a stable this morning.
I would quite like to go home, please. And now I'm off to make a thread.
Interview at Greggs?! OMG. Yesssssss.
My dog is still sick.
she's lying about greggs
dunno why people lie all the timne
also, good morning
i'm wearing a jumper today that is this colour

ooooooohhhhh
that's nice. My Granny would definitely appreciate a jumper that colour.
yeah, i reckon mine would as well actually
Good luck with the interview
I'll fancy you even more if you get a job at Greggs
Good Luck!
I might be put on gardening leave. I just need to hand over my work today and fingers crossed, I'll get 3 weeks paid leave!
that's good news, right?
it sounds like good news.
Yeah
It means I can get out of here sooner and just have 3 weeks to swan about before I start my new job. Whether or not they'll actually do it, I don't really know.
why do they put people on garden leave?
wouldn't it be more cost-effective to just find the person work in other departments?
I don't really know
I suppose there is no point having someone knocking about doing hardly any work and turning up late, possibly distracting/hindering others from working. But they have to legally pay them until the end of their leave.
that's still awesome
I want to be put on garden leave forever.
Company information
particularly in sales positions they'll march you out of the building to ensure you don't take any sensitive information like customer databases, pricing information etc.
well jel
so good at changing job!!!!
^5
Gardening leave is well good, basically the same feeling as a guilt free fake sickie
Hi
Good luck for the interview! Looking forward to getting free coffee doughnuts (they sell these right? Someone brought one in the other day and it was good).
Break a leg(al)
See what I did there? I'm not sure, tbh.
I'm listening to the Mayo/Kermode film podcast and easing in to my working day.
Too much natter about walnut whips at the start
Did my ead in. Otherwise not too bad
You're right.
That was pretty painful.
David Morrissey is being quite genial at the moment.
Hello to Jason Issacs
Seriously contemplating buying a new mattress today
hump day

I've just eaten an out of date yoghurt.
Will I make it through the day?
Shit.
50-50 I'd say.
Way to gamble with your life.
fuck man
what have i done?
*clutches stomach*
I just flipped a coin
You did say 'heads' didn't you?
Going to New York tomrorow
Pretty pumped.
Only two days left this week
because I'm going to MUNICH on Friday :D
Had the nicest beer i've ever had last night
Mikkeller to from via.
It's on draft at brewdog in manchester.
Smelled like blackforest gateux
I had that the other week, it's ace
If you like beers that smell like black forest gateaux, you should check out Vital Spark by Fyne Ales, it's amazing!
Cheers for the tip
going to Sainsburys at lunch time
can't fucking wait
Just bumped into my old boss's husband in reception
akwaaard. Quite nervous actually. Really prefer interviews in the late afternoon with sherry.
Going to Banbury tomorrow
...
to see a fine lady upon a white horse?
I wish
I'm Cross about having to go
I'll get me coat
Bad luck
I am so bored at work at the moment
I'm actually at the point where I don't want to come in. :(
Day 20 of my Bikram challenge today.
GOOD LUCK with your interview!
Just been sorting through a load of Biology coursework
Part of it was a 2-day log of everything the student ate and what activities they did for the day.
One of them reckons he managed 150 minutes of sexual activity across the 2 days. LAD/has a wanking problem.
:D
How to take a screenshot:
Hold down the power button and then hit the 'home' button (which is probably that clicky button in the middle, bottom on the Samsung.
Gonna nip across to town to get myself a new shirt (and possibly tie) at lunch time...
Whilst there, I may well purchase a BOOTS MEAL DEAL!
I had a massive sausage roll as the snack component
Excellent news
Going out with your hair in plaits as an adult woman means you're a creep, aye?
Asking for a mate.
depends
are you (r mate) going out to a fancy dress party or something?
No
Though my mate does look a bit Wednesday Addams right now so she should probably just stop being a dick and brush her hair
Nothing wrong with plaited hair if you're an adult woman.
But carry a blaster pistol to deal with anyone who takes issue, I reckon:
http://worldofliz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/leia1.jpg
i imagine icwar to carry a blaster pistol with her everywhere anyway
I regularly plait my hair
Thanks a bunch, icwar.
:D I think hair colour actually comes into it a lot
You can probably get away with it without looking like a creepy goth child.
nah
plaited hair is good
I have done pig tails recently
i look like a child.
hi everyone
i got 75 on an essay i wrote a few weeks ago, which i'm pretty happy with. especially as when i write essays i tend to go down thought paths that could either go very right or very wrong, rather than just sticking to the obvious and pitching for a middling mark. it does seem to keep paying off for me, though, so that's nice.
now I have loads more work to do and then I gotta go make some cardboard trellises.
