Leap of Faith



"when you believe there's someone out there"

Yesterday was not all that interesting, I sat around mostly, did a minimal amount of work, and then watched some of Brief Encounter simultaneously with Fi. It was great. I didn't like it when I studied it for Film Studies, but now I'm not, I appreciate its true greatness. I might watch the rest of it tonight. 

So today was the beginning of my part-time working weeks. It is great to know that I don't have to go to work for another 2 days, and after that, for a week! Hahahhahaa. 
It was a bit boring, I spent most of the morning trying to make our website work, which didn't happen, mostly because it was something that restarting computers and checking the internet connection couldn't help. It was basically just being horrendously slow. Ugh. So I listened to music and went on Facebook. 
Then came lunchtime, and Fi appeared just as James was telling me about how he assaulted a guy in M&S (well...assaulted...kneed in the leg...same difference). We went up to Sainsburys to get lunch. I had to get stuff for work like squash and milk and sugar as well. I also got a Crunchie. Well I didn't in the end. I got a basket, and went up to the till, put the basket down, and the woman didn't scan my damn Crunchie, so I ended up Crunchie-less. Unfortunately I didn't realise this until I got back to work, and I couldn't be bothered to walk all the way back just to get one. The silly woman also put all the stuff I bought in one bag, which made it so heavy that the bag broke before I'd even managed to walk out of the shop. Hmph. 

I seem to be doing a lot of shop-related complaining at the moment. Oh dear. 

Pictures today are: Fi gazing lovingly at her (minging) sausage and egg sandwich, and my delightful pasta salad, which in that picture actually looks more like sick than something that is REALLY NICE. We ate at work - which is what you can see in the background. Such a happy place it is...

This afternoon was fairly dull. Consisted mostly of me trying to find things to do whilst John was there, and then once he'd gone, sitting around and doing not much. It was horrible weather today. Rained and stuff. I went to get the bus, and there was this really scary drunk guy who sometimes gets on my bus and makes strange shouty noises. My mum had texted me asking me if I wanted to meet her at Waitrose, so then I had to get off at the same bus stop as scary drunk guy, who actually scared me: I was sitting at the front, looking out the window, and I turned around and he was suddenly THERE. I was like "eek!" 

Now I am home. Soon I will do some work. Tomorrow I'm going to do more work, and then I'm going to a lecture on "What is Happiness" with David. It's almost like being a student, except it will probably be more sciencey. Apparently though it will be in a language I understand as it is for 14+. Hurrah! 

In a final note, I hate Amazon. I made a £50 order of CDs today, and I looked on the tracker today and it said that the estimated delivery date was between 10 and 14 days. Not impressed. I'm sure all the CDs I ordered were in stock as well. Hm.
