4:09 pm - Well, this'll be a first.
|
You see, it's going to be a very long post. A very long post about this weekend, this funeral and a whole bunch of internal actual emotion stuff that I've been happily crushing for quite some time.
And it's going to be an open post. With comments turned on for once.
I'm pointing out now, this is soley because I'd like my cousins in the States to be able to read this, and say hi to them, because neither of them have livejournals (yet....). I still fear a flaming, but well, what're you going to do?
And so, with fair warning, here's the weekend, and all that entails. ( Read more... )
current mood:  indescribable
current music: Offspring - Self-esteem

7:20 pm - Just a brief explanation
|
I got a call at 6pm today from my parents.
My grandad has passed away in hospital, from pneumonia. (probably related to the fact his immune system was shot to hell from all the cancer and tests and crap)
Many thank yous to Bex, who gave me water and tissues, and let me totally ignore said phonecall and babble incoherently about random crap for a while before I could face coming home.
I'm going to be rather quiet for a bit. Normal service will no doubt be resumed soon.
current mood: take a guess

So instead of calling, he emailed.
HE FUCKING EMAILED AND IS WITHHOLDING MY FUCKING DEPOSIT BECAUSE HE THINKS STEVE HASN'T FUCKING PAID RENT!!!
I'm pissed off now. Especially because Steve has assured me he's paid, and he paid before the damn inspection happened, and I believe him.
So why is the landlord being so crap!!?!?!?

8:46 am - If I am...
|
snarly, abrupt, tearful, shaking, snappy, annoyed, upset, miserable, violent, curled up in a ball on the floor, crying my heart out (unlikely, but I guess I have to cry sometime), or any combination of the above this week it is because my grandfather is extremely ill in hospital.
I did a double check.
Yes, he's never really been ill before. This should mean he has a good health basis to come back from.
But he's in his 90s, and my parents say this is really serious. Really "expect the worst" serious. Tests are today.
I'm terrified.
So oddly, I'm not in the mood, yeah?

so, I'm skimming the web again, and there's 2 jobs at the British Museum, and I could do either of them without breaking a sweat.
Close of applications 30th April.
Ok, so they're only for £13,500 pa and it's London prices and there's a world of reasons to stay in Birmingham but...
EDIT: TO ENSURE I AM SENSIBLE AND FULLY AWARE OF THE IMPLICATIONS
* Job apps finish 30th april. That's 2 weeks to interview, then poss another 2 weeks to employ. This takes me to start of june, when I need to have signed another contract in birmingham with Joe, Kat and Ross to ensure I have a place to live should this job not pan out. It also leaves me deeply limited time to find place to live in london should job pan out.
* the money, for london, is pitiful. I have no savings to speak of, and I doubt that I would be able to support myself on this salary on london prices.
* it is far away from Birmingham, and I have grown somewhat attached to the place, and to certain of the people in it. This is not to say there aren't a whole bunch of people I love dearly in london too, just that it would be a hell of a wrench to move away now.
* didn't I want to go back to uni soon? how the hell would that fit with this job?

Um, I never asked, How much XP are those approvally things to buy? I forgot to find out....
EDIT: Also,I have 4xp now saved on Jenna. What do I profitably spend it on, if anything? Options include: Spend in 1st basic fortitude; fix Krikor (difficult option) and spend 3xp on him teaching me funky combo power of obfuscate/obten doom; spend 3 on instinct x3 and 1 on a social trait; spend all 4 on abilities and traits (always useful); spend 3xp on 1st basic dominate (yeah, she's crap and doesn't have any at all) or save up to 8xp on 1st intermediate celerity (teacher already covered).

Boredom has ensured that I have checked on a few things.
And so, when the eventual day of my wealth strikes (or, as close to it as I will ever get - next week's payday) methinks I need a trip to one of these locales.... : www.fabricland.co.uk
Just to work out which one of the stores is easiest to get to...
And I need to go on that promised trip to Hobbycraft in Reading/Coventry....
EDIT: Well, that's that planned :) 24th/25th (now, please, please, _don't_ tell me there's something else happening that I've again forgotten about then....) go to visit Becky and Darrell in Reading and forcibly drag round fabric shops for the purchasing of marvellous materials and equipment. Oh, and the seeing of friends *grins* Hurrah!
EDIT AGAIN: Hm...now, Since I'm going to have all this free time soon until I find another job...I could go on a little set of visits...hmm....*plots*

have successfully washed hair.
However, I am upset with my new shampoo. Bought the Herbal Essences stuff. Was there any screaming and moaning in the shower? Was there buggery. Hair is, at best, clean, rather than happily ravished.
Bloody lying adverts....
current mood:  amused

Right.
Mr Joe, being a star, will buy the tickets for the concert.
I need a comment, right here, before tomorrow, to get you a ticket. Else I'm afraid you can sort yourselves out :P
Details again are 22nd May (oblivion weekend!) at the Birmingham NEC. Price £20.

Sod it.
Amazing bonus (of not-ness) is to apparently be paid on the 16th. M tells me he shall make sure they give me a cheque for all of april's pay and the bonus on the 16th.
No help to me right now.
However, I'm still booking the damn Evanescence tickets. Missed it last time due to lack of time off work, I'm damned if I'm missing it again!
Who wanted to come again? I'll get tickets at lunch... (and bear in mind, the date of this concert is the same time as Oblivion....)
EDIT: having checked cash, no I can't pay for them. Really can't. Not if I want to eat. Got to pay people I owe money to back first. Sorry. People who want to go will have to sort themselves out with tickets.

blasted landlord.
so, one call to my phone (missed due to standing in a loud train-filled place)
one email (told about by Steve as haven't checked hotmail myself yet and can't until tomorrow)
one email to Steve, and no doubt one phone call, possibly two to Steve (depending whether the landlord wanted to phone the house as well as mobiles).
Geez, he's damn eager. So eager he can't wait a few hours for an answer????
Gah. Oh well. I guess one or other of us will email him back and tell him the end of june rather than the beginning of june, just to give longer for things to be arranged. An extra month is always helpful.
Just gonna make June tight on the rent is all, but I suspect I'll cope so long as I save my bonus up....

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Becky. And she was best friends with a girl called Katy.
And they laughed and joked, and talked all the way through Chemistry lessons, and got told off and split apart, but that didn't stop them from writing novels together under the desk, from plotting the taking over of the world, and from generally having a good laugh.
Then school ended, and they fell out of touch.
Then somehow, Katy found Becky's email address, and they started talking again....
*grins broadly* God, I've not spoken to people from school in _ages_! This is amazing!
....just watch out world, the old team could be back....

Guess we'll have to keep looking...

Currently hungry (Emma, bless her, has been dispatched to Burger King for food). And wanting very much to write something for Mage.
Gah to bloody writers block. Know what I want to say, can't seem to write it.
Blah. Poor Ro. I'm currently thinking caves are good for her, if it weren't for the fact the damn voice would still follow her there.
I might just write a DT for Andy instead of a story *smiles* I do rather need to.
