Little things

Another little nice thing happened today to help restore my faith in parts of humanity. Hannah and I went to buy a new CD player to replace my slowly dying one. While there we also bought some nice, but heavy wicker goods. We were then struggling home with them and my arms were falling off… Read More »

People: Good or Bad?

Sometimes things happen that really make me dislike people. For instance, this week Hannah and I finally filled in our passport applications and posted them off to our respective “professional person who has known you for 2 years or more” (of which more later). A few hours later, we had a knock on the door… Read More »

Chrimbley

Much has happened lately, nearly all mundane and non-bloggable. I have found myself with writer’s block every time I attempt to write something. I find myself in childish anticipation of Christmas this year. Probably mostly for selfish reasons 🙂 Hannah has done well and I have no idea what she’s got me. She’s normally as… Read More »

So cold

Stupid cold weather. I wanted to be on campus nice and early this morning. Then Storm didn’t want to start from the cold. When I got her started, I drove down to the petrol station to fill up. The filler cap was frozen, and I couldn’t get the key in. So I bought some de-icer… Read More »

Lots of stuff

I’m tired. I’ve been working quite a lot, recently. I’m hoping to cut my hours down to 2 days a week so I can spend more time with Hannah, and spend more time on my uni work. I’ve spent quite a lot of time on my SEC coursework. I should probably have just let my… Read More »

Job!

I got the job as projectionist at the new AMC cinema in Fiveways. I’m actually quite looking forward to it. I start on the 6th October and I have to go up to Manchester at some point for training. This week has been one of those annoying “registration” affairs. I had to go into Nottingham… Read More »

New Term

Well, I’m about to start back at uni. It’s going to be quite weird, I think. This week is just admin rubbish, next week lectures. I had an interview with AMC Theatres last week for a job as a projectionist, which I think could be very cool. I was shown around the projection rooms, which… Read More »

Ouch

My arms hurt. I keep hitting Capslock instead of shift and my hands can’t grip anything. I just carried a 21kg TV back from Currys to the flat. A distance of just under a kilometre, according to “map24.com”:http://www.map24.com/ but it felt like miles. I hurt. That is all.

Information Overload

I’ve been generally faffing the last week. Actually, it’s been quite a busy week, thinking about it. Last weekend seems a long time ago. On monday we had cable installed. I have spent quite a lot of time playing with stuff this week to make stuff work on the network. I think I’ll write that… Read More »
