Mary Poppins is coming to Melbourne. I'm quite pleased about this. Avenue Q was really really good :D
Um, I'm not good at long sentances anymore. The sky was really pretty while I was driving home this afternoon, it was grey and heavy, and when I pulled up to my apartment, it started hailing and lightning, and I was trapped in my car for a little bit, but it was fun.

There's a fellow at work who keeps winking at me. Maybe he has something in his eye XD

I like hearing 'For the win' on tv. It makes me happy :)

It be a bad night for staying up late. Luckily I didn't stay up late, I went to sleep early. But that always leads to weird dreams about fathers killing their sons for science... Well, not always, but in this instance. I haven't been this upset about a dream for a long time.

Fwooop!

Why didn't I ever learn about the 1975 constitutional crisis in school? It's interesting!! This may of course be the 'I left work an hour ago, and it's already tomorrow!' speaking.

Friday's in sight!

Your result for Roleplayer Test!...

The Biographer

Plotful, Character-Oriented, Platonic

Like the Portraitist, the development of your character is the most important thing to you when you roleplay. However, you like your development and relationships to have some kind of overarching plot: you're not the type to enjoy a dressing room or any kind of roleplay where your character can't grow in at least a semi-structured manner. You enjoy exploring your character's psyche, but simple exploration isn't enough: you like to discover and then implement and use, and therefore continuity (which gives you "why"s and "how"s) is very important to you. You struggle when your character has no solid base in which to put down its roots, such as in games where there isn't enough structure or ones where the plot is continually changing.

Advertising be mind boggling

I really hope I heard wrongly!!!

Female impersonator advertising a women's magazine on tv "It's how I stay firmly oppressed!"


I quite like Big Bang Theory, just so's you know.

Sunday always comes too late...

There's always a comedown after hanging around with friends for ages, and then being alone again. It's all good though, we had a very good weekendy thing, and now I have another day off to do... things... I'm running out of clean clothes, so that will get done first thing in the morning. To visit family or not to visit family... that is the question. I don't feel like driving, which means I probably won't. Must be productive!! Read a new chapter of fic, listen to those albums I have to listen to, do some writing, and play some music is what I think I shall do this fine sunday afternoon, and possibly tomorrow as well.

I think I've finally gotten over my neediness thing! A year or so ago, if I was in the position I am in now (back in my apartment by myself after a weekend of friends), I would have been distraught. I don't pretend to understand it myself. Is this maturity? Or is it just being in a stable frame of mind? I don't really care, I'm happy about it :)

Weekend? Success!!

Devil chicken!!

Gah, it's night, but it's morning, too!!

Went to bed way too early due to general tiredness from work, and now it's between 3 and 4 in the morning and I'm quite awake.

I'm re-reading Half blood prince, because I am too poor to buy new books, and I haven't visited the library yet... and I've re-read every other book in my bookshelf.

I had a dream that somebody at work was being arrested because he killed his wife, I quite like this person, so I told them, and then they didn't come back after their break. And because I liked them, I didn't tell anyone else about it, because I know people in my workplace gossip like crazy, and I didn't want to subject him to that. I also didn't want him knowing that I was the one to tip off the police.

Should be searching for jobs...

Tired eyes, I need a good sleep. The Count of Monte Cristo is a fantastic novel :D Just so's you know. I've had it for something like two weeks, and I'm on the home stretch. What will I do when I finish!!

Anyone have any good book suggestions? I mostly like period stuff, but fantasy is good too.

Luck visits door 42

Computer has been healed! It is now called Lazarus. I may have had lots'n'lots of viruses, including a couple of Trojans that I was going to call Hector and Paris, but alas, I have named them only so that they may have a tombstone.

I had a dream, I was breaking out of somewhere, and my car wouldn't go. Robert Smith was in it! Someone tried to distract him, but he wanted to talk to me ^___^ Ah, I love dreaming. I think that dream-life is just as important as awake-life, although it is not subject to the same laws. How is what I feel in a dream less real than what I feel while awake?

Anyway, enough theorising, I have band practice!

ah! fun!

Whee!

Gah!! My computer is having a hissy fit, and is not working. I'm at my parent's house now, and gee, it's hard work catching up on a week's worth of emails and flist! I don't think I missed anything important... I'm still trawling my way through it.

Work is work, only more so. The band is going great. The pub down the road from me serves mulled wine. Life is good :D Except for the fact that I need more money, but that's always going to be a concern, I think, so I'd better get used to it, bah.

Work stories!

Had a lovely customer today, she walked into the store, and although I didn't get a very good look at her, I was pretty certain she wasn't carrying anything, and she headed straight for the RTD fridge, somewhat out of sight, although I can see over the tops of the aisles to see the top few shelves and the heads of whoever is standing there. So I'm trying to be unobtrusive and watch what she's doing while not looking like I'm watching. What I saw was thus: She reached up to the top shelf, (I looked away) and then she was bending over before standing and walking to the register.

So now she has four cans of Jim Beam black in a plastic bag, and a receipt from another store for a 4pack of the same. She wanted a refund! I was a bit suss about this, so I said I had to get a 4pk to scan the refund, and trotted over to the fridge to have a looksee, and I found the empty 4pk case! Kind of hidden (exactly where she had bent over), but not hidden well enough. Anyway, told her that I wouldn't be refunding them, since I was fairly sure she'd stolen them. Blah. She kicked up a stink, and she took the cans with her, and since I hadn't actually seen her pick them up, I had to let her.

Anyway, she returned, because she wanted the receipt back, probably to try somewhere else, and I refused, so called my manager and all that rubbish, and we said we'd check the footage, and if she was carrying them when she first entered the store, then we would happily give her the receipt back. She got sick of waiting soon enough, and disappeared, ostensibly to get the cans off her mother, but never returned.

I ended up calling the store she'd bought the other ones at, and I'm glad I did! Rachel knows her very well, and so do the police. If we see her again, we're to call 000 and get the cops, and our security guards are allowed to arrest her.



And a sillier story. I broke a bottle of wine the other day, it smelt lovely, and I wish I'd taken a picture of the puddle it made on the floor, because that looked awesome, and I'm not likely to break a bottle on purpose just to see the effect.
But yes, script format!
Me: Could you bring up a mop and bucket? I killed a bottle of wine :(
J: A what?
Me: A mop and bucket.
J: A moffan...
Me: Mop! M. O. P!
Me: Mop... Is that a new kind of beer?

It made me laugh XD And Wendy, too.

Blah, I'm exhausted. I worked 2-11pm yesterday, and did 9-6 today. Tomorrow is 7-4, and then I can sleep, oh wait, band on Sunday, I get to sleep in tuesday morning though!!

I may feel slightly sad, but I won't cry

David Eddings is dead. I feel a little sad about it... I might feel sadder if he'd written at least one original book in his life. Oh well.


Reading reviews of Jude Law as Hamlet (and comparing him to David Tennant) is really amusing, especially as I'm in the middle of reading 'Something Rotten', and Hamlet is being all angsty about how different people portray him XDD

So I looked for jobs, and there is one which I think I could get excited about, so I'll give it a whirl.

Work D:

Well, at least it's not friday... that's usually when I get told what will happen the following week. Next week, my manager is back, and I go back to being a 2IC for the first time since January. I'm at a bit of a loss, really. The liquor department doesn't do enough sales for me to stay on full time, and so I'm being half transferred to another department. There was talk about me going to bakery, but they don't need me anymore, so I'm going back to being a checkout chick for two days a week. I'm really not happy about this, and I don't want to, but the only other option involves me doing three nights a week in Liquor (I'll already be doing one), and I really really don't want that.

In fact, I'm quite upset about the whole thing, and what with my knees not being too crash hot at the minute (I put in an incident report about them being injured), I don't think I'll ever be a liquor manager. Which although it's not my long term goal, I feel like I've earned it, I've done the work for months and months now, and they get to say 'oh, well you're injured, you can't do the job', despite it being through doing the job that I got injured.

Liza said not to think of it as a demotion, but really, I can't see any other way of looking at it. Store Manager says things change all the time, and that surely a liquor manager in the area will transfer departments and that I'll be promoted, but that just happened, and what did they do? Hire a new manager for the area.

Blah. I shouldn't be upset, I need to care less >_> I just really don't want to go back to registers, it's brain numbing work, and seriously, that's why I left my old job!!! I transferred to another store to get away from it!!

Gah. I need to find another job.

ah! fun!

I have the Wombles song in my head

OMG!!!! Lanceypants!!!!
God I love 'Merlin'. Lancelot is in the next episode, which just makes me happy all over. This is totally making me want to dive back into every Arthurian novel/fic/rp that I've ever read/written/played. After this, I definitely have to go back to the Robin Hood series. Glowery Richard Armitage ftw *loves on Richard*

Ooh?

Things things things, followed by more things. I'm at my parent's house scrounging off their internet. I need to cheer the fuck up, that's my resolution. Already put into action as well! Last night was good. My birthday will be spent playing music, which is already a better plan than the one I had (none). Toodlepip!

Teehee, I'm going on a date with my Dad tomorrow night, because I can't find anyone else who wants to see Star Trek with me.

Richard at work is very nice :) It's good to be back at my own store, I talked more today at work than I have in any one week of the past thirteen.

I want to be a pastry chef. There's a patisserie in the shopping centre I work in, and it is the most wonderful place. I've been looking at tafe courses, because I want to do something other than what I do, and the two things that sound the most interesting are fashion/costume design, and the whole patisserie thing. Ho hum, things things things, I may never do these things, but it makes my mind easier to feel I have options available.

EDIT: Stupid jumps-racing, should be banned forever *grumbles* It's all very well to say extra precautions will be taken, but they keep adding precautions and they don't seem to make any difference to the mortality rate! It's not like horses have a choice in taking part in a death-defying race. Jockeys make that decision, but the horses are forced to do it. And those people who say that if it's banned they'll have to kill all their horses, because they have no other use for them... you bastards, that is just blackmail.
