| Greetings to my Virtual Friends! |
[Dec. 11th, 2006|02:06 am] |
Back in May, after meeting thirty-odd members of the BwB and realising most of them had Livejournals, I decided it would be great to put them all on my friends list. Procrastination being my nature, I just got round to doing it. Whoops. Sorry folks.
Due to a semi-catastrophic cock-up at work - I got busted for breaking a new regulation, only for the people doing the busting to find out that the reason I'd broken it was that my manager hadn't bothered doing the training he'd been told to do a month earlier resulting in the store management team being grilled over a slow fire - I've had the last three weeks off work, paid, whilst they sort out the mess. And I still don't know when I'm going back. Probably end of the week, but have been told it could go into the following week. Whilst this sounds great in theory, in practice it's getting dull now. I'm too skint to actually get out and do stuff (a result of the damage the Amsterdam trip has done to my finances: well worth it though) so I'm stuck around all day watching old Seinfeld DVDs and posting even more crap than is normal on various forums. What's worse I'm out of my normal reading cycle (I normally read at work during lunch) and have taken a fortnight to get 120 pages into Altered Carbon. Sigh.
What's really annoying is that my sleeping habits have gotten completely out of whack. After three weeks of going to bed at 2-3am and getting up at 11am, getting used to waking up at 7.30am is going to be a struggle. Need to start training myself back into the habit, I suppose. |

WTF?!?!
Damn. Well, even though you've been cleared of culpability (stoopid boss), that still sucks.
Ah, there are worse things than paid time off. :p ...but I can understand going stir crazy. Good luck returning to the grind. :)
Hey Wert. :)
I have a different handle on LJ, which confuses people. So I have this as one of my userpics. :p
hmmm maybe so but i could really do for 3 weeks off atm. :p
Greetings
I am jealous of you having time off. i really really want time off.
Actually I just heard I'm back at work on Wednesday, so that's worked out okay. Btw, in Amsterdam we were talking about a possible 'big' meet-up for the first half of 2007 similar to the big London one. Not necessarily in London again (although it's handy if we want lots of people to show up) though. Anyone interested in that? Or should we try and shoot for the European Fantasy Con in Copehagen later in the year? Or wait until we have the ADWD release date and aim something for around then?
Sounds like a reasonable idea. Obviously I'm quite happy with it being in the London.
(BTW you'll probably get more response to your question if your question was a post rather than a comment on your previous post).
I think it's going up on the board anyway after Christmas. Cheers for the tip. I still haven't figured all the ins and outs of LJ yet. | |
