The Witching Hour

Sunday, October 31st, 2004

It’s been a hectic few days. I’ve been working every day since Tuesday, I was supposed to have Sunday and Monday off but I agreed to work on Sunday to cover for someone else, then I found out my day off has been switched to Wednesday. So I’m a bit knackered.
I went out […]

GTA: San Andreas

Saturday, October 30th, 2004

I swear if one more child asks me why they can’t have GTA:SA I’m gonna break something. It’s an 18, they’re not. Is that really a difficult concept? Is there some sort of street counting system in which 12 and 18 are interchangable? Bloody chavs are the worst
Me: “This is an […]

Shit.

I received a Court Summons through the post before leaving for work yesterday morning. It appears that they hadn’t forgotten about my traffic light transgression and are going to prosecute me. It couldn’t really come at a worse time to be honest. I got my first paycheck from work today and it […]

Well I never…

I’m quite shocked. I was just reading the cult of mac blog on Wired as I do regularly. Apple have now released the special edition U2 branded iPod and more suprisingly, to me at least, the iPod Photo. The first being a black 20Gb fourth generation iPod with a red click wheel […]

Legend.

The Cure are amazing. Robert Smith is the man. I hope they tour over here soon.

Recent Realisations

Jack off Jill are my favourite band of the moment. I enjoy working in retail considerably more than others suggested I would. Unreal Tournament 2003’s graphics are amazing. I had no idea that I had served Fatima Whitbread until a colleague told me, he seemed surprised that I had no idea who she […]

So long and thanks for all the freebies…

Well, it’s just coming into the last hour of my time at JS and I can’t wait to leave. Today has been incredibly quiet like a lot of recent weekends. There are some people here I’ll miss and some I really won’t. Several people have said ‘we must keep in touch’ but […]

Learning my Virginity

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

It was my first day at Virgin Megastore today. It went quite well, I made a few mistakes but I was told it was expected. I’ve nearly got my head around the till and I’m sure I’ll be okay with it by the end of the week. It looks like it’s going […]

Finally…

It turns out it was worth all the hassle, last week I was awarded a 2.2 which was due to my Photography resit being capped at 40, which I was told wouldn’t happen. I contacted the academic office to let them know what had happened, here are the last two emails I received from […]
