funneh

ok. this has been making me giggle constantly whenever I think about it for the past few days.
I thought id be kind and share. Welcome to the Giggles.

tired...

Im tired.

2nd overnight shift of the week last night - and no - dont go getting your hopes up folks - its not paid work. I VOLUNTEER for this.

Im STILL dizzy from the tv massacre of last weekend.

Ive been terrified by a recruitment agency ringing me to reccomend applying for a job when i honestly cant remember having any contact with them, let alone having given them a copy of my CV.

There has been an ideal job spotted. Something that would be great. Something that would be fab. Something that would be interesting and actually relevant to the 8 years of getting my degree.
Problem.
Its in Alnwick. It involves ladders and spiral staircases. Normally Id apply anyway, expecting nothing and hoping for the best. At the moment the dizzy is still so present that Im dubious about doing even that.

I dunno.

Everythings just a bit *pleh*

I put the best friends birthday present thru her letterbox. That was monday. Its now friday and Id heard nothing. I broke the rule for the first time. I txtd her.
"This situation is weird but i wouldnt have thought you would be able to not comment on the awesomeness of that present. Are you away? Did you not get it somehow?"
She got it. She loves it. For some reason she didnt think to let me know. But apparently she has a plan or scheme or something. Il just have to wait and see.

Dizzy

Yup.

Im dizzy.

For once its not my fault, which means I can be righteously pissed off about it. Damn 4OD online catchup and its Kirsties Homemade Home with its invisible to most people and mostly to me wiggly line of error 1/3 of the way up the screen. Couldnt see it most of the time. Has affected me like the nasty refreshing of olde stylee monitors. Am very dizzy.

Woke up on sunday, turned over, the world kept on going.

Not good.

Poor Ducko - hadnt seen me in a real dizzy - apparently its quite worrying.

Ah well, aside from a few unwanted meanderings when attempting to answer the phones during an unavoidable overnight last night - all is mostly as can be expected. I do not like squishy matresses. I especially dont like squashy matresses on beds where I cannot easily lie with one foot on the floor - the things dizzy people have to do to know where the world is -

Well im off to wrap the birthday present for the best friend im not allowed to see. Its been planned for her from before the whole thing kicked off. (January) Cant not give it. Hope she likes it. I suppose putting itching powder in it would be childish.

(not that im above being childish - at a sams event on saturday I got my face painted)

When I rule the world

Nope not a megalomaniacal post - sorry - tho I will get around to submitting my manifesto at some point.

Just that whenever you select anything to watch on the new channel4 online service - you have to sit thru an advert for vodafone with various people lipsynching badly to the song "When I rule the world"

Gets stuck in your head a little bit.

A few weeks ago I had christmas songs stuck in there.

Last week it was the "Ive got a golden ticket" song from the original charlie and his chocolatey factory. Then my delightful mentee added the "Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka" one from the more recent film to the mix, and giggled at me while I struggled with the combination of the two playing at once through my synapses.

Im trying not to dwell on the stuff Ive been posting about recently. None of it has changed. Im still feeling the same, physically and emotionally sick. None of it will for the forseeable future. - with the exception of the friend I went back to find getting in touch - for which I am glad.

I had two, count em, TWO interviews last week. Am sitting and waiting to hear now. Am applying for more things. Weirdly, one interview was in a hotel room. With a bed and everything. Most bizzare. I thought it was weird when they did it on e.r. recently. Less weird even for that interview to be conducted by Dr Corday, then cutting to a blurry shot of the dead Dr Greene walking past the hotel entrance.

I digress.

I have laid a floor. I may have mentioned. That was the bathroom. That included work by Ducko. This is the kitchen. This is all me. Self levelling compound that didnt self level, I conclude now this is because the ready mix had evaporated too much liquid. So after chiselling all the lumpy bits off the first layer, mixed the ready mixed second batch with more liquid. Heres a tip - if you buy stuff from the clearance sale bit of a hardware store - be sure its of the correct consistancy before applying. Do not believe what it says on the tin!
Anyway, it is now smooth with a captial smoo (as someone once said - perhaps in red dwarf) and awaiting the laying of tiles.

Im hungry - today is tuesday... shopping was done on thursday... whats the betting there is nothing worth eating downstairs? Im watching Ramsay's kitchen nightmares and wondering when waiters and waitresses became servers.
