  • morning m_w_t; all

    I just printed out a calendar of November and December to work out exactly when I'm in work and when I'm not, and if I go on a training course in December as planned I have 25 days left. I also have 20 days holiday left, so in theory I could work next week and then not come in til January 5th. would never get signed off but still, should be able to get a lot of time off.

    breakfast_t_england | 31 Oct '14, 08:46 | X

      next holiday isn't until 24th November..
      sure it'll fly by though.

      • my next actually booked day off is also 24th November

    i really should be doing something useful, but i'm plotting a really heavy next week (girlfriend is away, most of my classes have been cancelled/shortened, i'm not working) to get ahead of myself on everything.

    i might do a bit of work this morning, and go see a scary film this afternoon. are there any good ones out?

    Didn't eat breakfast because Friday's the day bacon rolls get ordered, but a load of people have brought in Halloween stuff as well. Wondering if there's some way I can just eat all morning and sleep all afternoon.

    Doing absolutely nothing this weekend but will probably have to do some work. Seems to be a serious chance I'll go to bed tonight and wake up on Monday, not really had a proper night's sleep for about 2 weeks now.

    I'm worried that you read that as "I've got very little work to do". No. I have *no* work to do.

    One boss not in, the other looked panicked when I asked for more work. Suppose I'll just be sitting with my thumb up my arse all day, then.

    driving down to Bristol tonight. Any good record shops in Bristol that are not in the city centre? Would like to steer any daytime expeditions in that direction.

    Day off on Monday, so this is my Friday if it were my Thursday.

    Drinking some weird herbal tea now, will be taking on coffee and cake soon.

    • Plastic Wax

      by the Arches on Gloucester Road. Mainly second hand and has loads. Further up there is one called Repsycho which is also a clothing shop, I haven't been there for ages though (the record shop part may actually be called Prime Cuts? It is downstairs). It depends what you class as the "centre" but Rise is on the Triangle which is right on the edge. Fopp is down the road on Park Street. The only record shop actually left in the centre is Head, or a place in St Nicks market which mainly does reggae.

It was nice of them to give me an hour's notice that I was required on stage to speak, allegedly they emailed my assistant but she says no. Anyway it was fine.

    so a 70 minute commute became a 15 minute drive in. Getting a falafel wrap for lunch and a halloumi and mushroom burger after work. Going down to Brighton to see a Weezer covers band. Well made up today, probably the best mood I've woken up in in about a month or so.

  • GOOD LUCK to DD if she's reading this

    Mildly busy day at the bookshop already, with website shenanigans going on and stuff. Ate a lot of good food last night - tried goat heart for the first time and it was a winner.

    Really excited about doing merry fuck all for Halloween yesssssss.

    • Wilko have some

      Poundland also, but I wouldn't trust it; probably give you some hideous, face-swelling allergic reaction. The type that gets a news story / picture in the local newspaper

      NoahVale @UnicornPorn | 31 Oct '14, 10:54 | X
    • with it being Halloween most places... supermarkts, co-op, poundshop.. cardshop etc

      Matt_was_taken @UnicornPorn | 31 Oct '14, 10:54 | X
      • you have an arts and crafts place?

        Matt_was_taken @Matt_was_taken | 31 Oct '14, 10:54 | X
        • Thanks both

          UnicornPorn @Matt_was_taken | 31 Oct '14, 11:43 | X
    • yesterday i tried Poundland, 99p shop, Wilkos and a card shop

      trying unsuccessfully to purchase makeup.

      Today my housemate told me to try the Christmas shop, and she found some at a florist.

      the world does not make sense to me

  • Happy Friday / Halloween people of DiS

    Work is dragging. Looking forward to my annual Halloween movie marathon tonight. This years theme is 70's horror. Will have a post work nap and then imbibe all the sugar and watch the following :

    Suspiria
    Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    Phantasm
    Exorcist
    Dawn Of The Dead
    Nosferatu

    Rest of the weekend will be spent sleeping and then radio show Sunday.

    • Strong selection

      Might have gone for a spot of Cronenburg - Shivers maybe

      NoahVale @sadballadman | 31 Oct '14, 11:48 | X
      • I had Rabid on the first long list I made

        but it lost out to Nosferatu in the end. Haven't seen Shivers, I'll check it out.

      • The Brood!

        (said this in the 2014 films thread, sorry if you've already seen it)
        went to a horror allnighter a few weeks ago, we got

        Night of the Creeps
        The Brood
        Flesh for Frankenstein
        Tourist Trap
        Street Trash

        utterly exhausting but such a fun night.

        guntrip @NoahVale | 31 Oct '14, 12:58 | X
  • managed a solid lie-in

    Gonna go for a run before work, and make a batch of granola (my best discovery of the autumn so far, it's SO easy and so good, dunno why anyone would buy supermarket stuff)

    Weekend plans: working 4pm - 2am shifts every day. Brunch with a mate on Sunday, maybe tennis tomorrow morning, that's about as exciting as it gets atm.

    two bleeding hours of sitting around trying not to fall asleep before a three minute chat and then a 'yeah you're approved, your stuff will be posted next week'.

    .... going to watch some shit horror films today, but I do that most days anyway

    can't decide what to do tomorrow

    sunday might possibly go see harald grosskopf, though probably not (sorry marckee)

    noise_ramones | 31 Oct '14, 11:41 | X
  • I'm ok

    still a bit miffed that I had to miss two of my friends birthdays to come down for an interview... The train had no wifi as well so I couldn't do any prep. Spoke to this lovely guy from Preston for most of the journey. Was a really nice interaction and got a little tap on the arm and all the best when we went our separate ways. Forgot to bring a smart top for my interview so had to spend £30 in monsoon to get the only thing that would be suitable and was in my size. I look like a pumpkin...

    Interview went alright actually. I think if I don't get it it will defo be cause they don't think I'm the right fit for the role and its a bit too numbers oriented for me. Either way it's been a bit of a confidence boost to go there and leave feeling like I gave a good performance and seem like a plausible and hireable kinda candidate. Also chatted with other people who work there and they were all lovely.

    + got a distinction in my masters and they're gonna put my dissertation in the library
    - I need two fillings and have worn my teeth down and now have to wear my gum guard every night till forever :(
    + I don't need to pay for my dental treatment, your tax dollars have it covered
    + being taken out for drinks then curry tonight
    + got another job interview on Monday
    + seeing one of my favourite pals on Sunday

    DarwinDude | 31 Oct '14, 12:18 | X
    • Also upped my medication and I feel amazing

      Like relaxed and focused and just generally alright and not stressed. Gonna ask for more drugs.

      DarwinDude @DarwinDude | 31 Oct '14, 12:22 | X
      • Glad whatever it may be is working for you

        :)

        Also, it sounds like you did really well in the interview and have a very healthy attitude towards it, good on you.

  • happy halloween and that

    going to jiujitsu tonight followed by some Halloween party antics in the evening and then headed back up to the home counties over the weekend to see my folks.

  • Got the day off so on my way into London

    Going to see Lena Dunham and #1 DiSer Caitlin Moran later but going to spend money I don't have on new clothes first. I sort of want a new jacket but the weather is too good today

  • very unlucky driving test

    feel like I should've tried to exploit the season to get a full refund by saying that I was momentarily possessed by critically acclaimed otherworldly demonic force Azazel.

    Kicking myself that I didn't.

    The new Grouper album came through the post though, which is cheering me up as much as Liz Harris' unique brand of introspective melancholy can possibly be said cheer one up.

  • Bought a big box of Roses for the trick or treaters

    Hope no-one knocks so I can just eat them. Mmm delicious flowers.
    In other news as of tomorrow I will be an official LMEer, so tonight will be spent packing not partying. Ah well.
    Theres a Goth music night on BBC 4 tonight so theres always that.

        • it's with someone higher in the company

          I think it might be a 'cant decide between two candidates' meeting. Either way they're happy to spend another £100 on gettin me to London so something must be promising :)

          DarwinDude @Finton_Stack | 31 Oct '14, 15:57 | X
          • Well done you, that's great news

  • i'm working/filming tonight - 8pm-8am....

    However, I love working nights and seeing something grow *MATRON*.

    I've bought two flasks and I'm not afraid to use them. I've also bought some goodies and will make thick cheese sandwiches for the crew.
