Quick update, as bossman has left early
Eventually saw a different dentist, who was lovely and charged me all of £45 for 2 fillings instead of £800 for one root canal and a cap. Still kind of gutted that I need *any* work - I'm very careful about my teeth. Apparently not careful enough :/ oh well, at least I now don't have to give up Whitby, christmas, my tattoo and every social event for 3 months in order to pay for it :D Losing Catherine soon. Happen to think the whole thing is terribly unfair and I'm going to miss her a lot. Job sucks. This comes as no surprise to me, and I'm sure it dosn't to any of you either, given that it's been a staple moan for me for a long time now. Think I'm just becoming less willing to put up with it. Will be job hunting again shortly. Deep joy. Kind of vaguely looking at how one becomes a teacher. Always kind of fancied it, but it appears you need lots of quite expensive training, and to put up with being in a low paid job for quite a while to build up experience. Not sure I fancy that so much. Will be applying for admin jobs with the NHS for a while instead for now. at least that would be in a field i'm interested in. Well aware that I won't be persuing a career in Environmental Health Recruitment, thanks. Current Mood:  quixotic |

My job, it is annoying.
Me: When can we start this? Bossman: Yes please. Nargis: I think it’s a good idea. Me: How do I find the details of people to upload? Bossman: And Julie and Helen Genius. Current Mood:  irritated |

Whitby Oct '09 - timeshare
I will be in the market for a bed on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday night only. I don't really want to book a B&B cos it's more fun to stay with your friends, but I can't book a whole cottage or anything if I'm only going for the 3 nights... Does anyone happen to be sharing with someone that only wants to be there for Wed/Thurs/Fri by any chance? Any offers of sofa space would also be great. I can pay (small money)... |

cheesefacts
Cheese may have an antibacterial effect in the mouth, preventing tooth decay. I wouldn’t recommend you use it as toothpaste though… tasty, but ineffective. Brie’s better than cheddar though. You can make a kind of cheese by adding lemon juice to milk, leaving it overnight and putting the resultant grossness in a sock clipped to the washing line for a day. Apparently the results are edible. I have yet to try this though. Different varities of cheese give rise to different kinds of cheesedreams:
Cheddar induces a higher proportion of dreams about celebrities; Red Leicester summones childhood memories; Lancashire generates dreams about work; while Cheshire inspires no dreams at all. According to the QI elves, so it must be true. Cheese contains tryptophan, an amino acid that makes you feel less stressed and helps you sleep. That's why I can’t get enough of the stuff when I have PMT :/ It also contains an opiod peptide called casomorphine, which I imagine also makes you feel quite happy.
People used to think that caused autism though. It doesn’t. Current Mood:  working |

Icon love
I need a new LJ icon. Something that defines me as a person, distilled into an image 1x1 inches big. halp? |

Victim
Is it just me, or is fashion particularly bad at the moment? I mean, I know highstreet fashion is rarely, if ever actually attractive, but they seem to be specifically going out of their way to design the ugliest items possible in some kind of perverse competition to see who can get the british public to look the most stupid. Maybe the designers have a bet going or something? Everything goes in where any hot-blooded female goes out, and out where they go in, and if it doesn't look like it was cut from a grandmother's curtains or had an unfortunate accident with a 2 year old and box of paint, then it's cut to make sure it minimises any kind of sex appeal for the wearer whatsoever. Back to the charity shops I go then. ION: My Bat-kite has arrived. This pleases me. Current Mood: busyCurrent Music: nana nana nana nana BATKITE! |

When I was a kid (6ish?), I had a little trip to the optitions , and I told them about the weird static and shapes that I could see but that weren't really there. I was told that it was 'probably just an after image' and sent home. Today, I have discovered that I have Visual snow... there's lots of us out there :) It's nice when these things resolve themselves ION - day before Whitby, and today is my friday = awesome. Current Mood: about to go home |

Jewish Bossman at work asked me what he should get for lunch.
Without thinking, I told him he should buy everyone bacon sandwiches to promote team moral.
I now feel very stupid :/ |

Weekend
Dispite my steadfast disinterest in all things valentine, I do seem to feel the need to go out and do something on Saturday night. Preferably with people I know. I've got a handful of options, including Cheeseclub (naturally) and some anti-valentine night at the Pendrels Oak in Holborn with the vampire crowd. Help me plan my social life? what are you doing? |

Not dead
Woke up 8 minutes after I should have left for work this monring. Arrived in the office 15 minutes early. Props to whoever bent time and space for me this morning - really made my day :) Sausages this morning - my housemate is awesome. 62% in my late first assignment for my course - not the end of the world given I didn't start even studying for it until 3 days after it was due. My sister has signed up to Facebook. This is the first sign of the apocalypse and I urge you all to head for high ground. Need to go on holiday - been 5 (?) years since I left the country and everyone around me is gleefully planning their own escapes. I'm jealous :/ My back hurts - I've been given cool painkillers by the GP, which make me a bit high and strange so i'm trying not to take them. Ouch though. Osteopath soon (50 quid = daylight robbery) lots of complaining and waiting for the physio paperwork till then. Woe. now = work |

Resolutions
I'm just going to conveniently gloss over the festive period entirely, so instead of a proper write up you get to skip straight to:-
This year I promise to
Not only catch up, but get as ahead of the game as possible with my OU course
Lose 1 stone in weight
Learn/ regularly attend/ practise at least one of the following: Pilates, yoga, tennis/squash, aerobics, something else.
Have at least 2 sober days per week, no exceptions.
Raise my salary twice before this time next year, while not actually quitting and going to work somewhere else.
Grow something & generally spend more time outside
Have a holiday abroad
Get my provisional driving licence
I have already
Bought an excercise bike (for 30 quid = go me)
Set up a dog sponsorship
Recent fuck-ups aside, looks like it could be quite a good year.
Current Mood: hopeful |
