Yeah, still having a job is a definite bonus! But now my boss has gone, no one else really understands what I do, or what it entails. I had a real shitty email from my US boss yesterday basically asking me to justify my existence. Not a good day! I spent ages today just crying on Adrian this afternoon.

I can't watch Peep Show either...so cringe! It has some really funny lines in it, so I love gifs made of it...but I couldn't watch it.

Whenever Adrian gets off the bus he always says jizz in stead of cheers. It sounds so similar that no one has ever noticed. Oh my god, that is so rude! Did you have to wait long for the next bus? Some of them are such jerks. The ones round here get so shitty about the amount of change you use, or if you pay with notes. I know they have to get the change out of their own pocket locally, and that's a bummer...but if I only have a 20, I only have a 20. Being a dick and glaring at me won't magically change it in to 5s.

I'm lucky as my lessons aren't too expensive, only £22 an hour. I just wish I didn't become so fucking useless whenever I'm in the spotlight.

YAY! Have you had offers from any of the unis? Omg tho, Oxford? That's crazy! What does the ELAT involve?

Ouch, 40 hours a week is heavy going. I do roughly that myself in an office and ug, who the fuck invented work? What kind of sadistic bastard wanted people to spend most of their working hours surrounded by other miserable people doing stuff that didn't really interest them. Bleurgh.

Awww! 6 months, so cute! I'm so glad you guys are going strong. You sound totally loved up :)

Aside from the work thing, I'm okay. Likely not doing much for Halloween as i just can't afford anything. I need to get some sweets in for trick or treaters. I'll likely watch the Alien films or something. I bet Adrian's working. XD Maybe I'll see one of my friends for dinner, if she's free. What about you? Any spooktastic plans?

No worries, I figured you were busy with RL stuff :)

I've been alright. Weird stuff at work. My boss got made redundant and we found out we're not getting any bonus this year. Which sucks. Those of us who aren't paid the big bucks really sorta rely on that money. Last year I used it to pay off a credit card. It just gives us some breathing space after Christmas. Oh well, at least I've sill got a job!

Guardians of the Galaxy was SO good! Like, 10 outta 10 would recommend. I've never been a fan of the inbetweeners. Anything vaguely cringey I just find really uncomfortable to watch. So, admittedly, I've not watched much of it!

Wow, that woman sounds like a total a-hole. I could understand someone getting shitty if it was kids ringing the buzzer, but when it's clearly a grown ass woman, you need to calm your tits.

I can't even remember what I did for the bank holiday in the end! Probably just enjoyed not being in work XD. Public transport is just the worst. It's kinda funny that loads of stuff happens on Sundays and bank holidays, yet the public transport is scaled well back. I get they need to do train works etc, but...buses, come on!

I did a driving test on Tuesday and failed. I just get so god damn nervous when I'm under the spotlight. I know loads of people do, it's standard. I just become a blithering idiot though. I did dumb shit I never do in my lessons. Got another one booked for December though, so fingers crossed for that one!

Learning to drive isn't cheap - thankfully my driving instructor is pretty cheap, only £22 an hour. But failing the test cost me over £100 in total, cos the test itself is around £60 and then 2 hours of lessons on top for that day. Ug.

How's things been going in your world though? Everything going great guns with Archie?

oh my - so, I'm a tab whore...thought I'd replied, but no, it's totally just sat there in my tab hoard.

I do the same with Neo - I barely go on there, but I'm not quite ready to give any of it up. There's a puzzle thing on there atm (I just happened to look and see it XD) and my inventory is already full of shit that I can only use if I get stuff in the mall. Fuck that. I love that they don't do that here, buying CSC with real money is very much up to the user.

Haha - Adrian has started brushing my hair every now and then. ❤️ After I've brushed it to get any tangles out, obvs.

I tried an iced caramel machiato the other day. It was alright...bit too coffee-y for me (in a coffee shop, who'd have thought it!). We went to see Guardians of the Galaxy which is so epically good. Love.

I remember that I tried reading Prozac Nation as a teenager to fit in with some poser-core friends..but it was such wank.

Wow - that woman sounds like a total bitch! Bet she wouldn't have been happy with sud covered goods. Sounds like you were polite and nice to her. I don't get people who are total jerks to polite sales people. Fair enough, if someone is a total arsehole, give them some shade...but if they're nice and just doing their job, cut them some slack. I'm never rude to a nice sales person. Hell, I'm rarely rude to ones who aren't, unless they're being total dicks. Good on your manager for backing you! People are suck wankers.

Soooo looking forward to the bank holiday next week. Gonna work from home on Friday so I can spend the day in my PJs. Winning! Also, means I don't have to see one of the guys in Sales who is a total a-hole. Seriously, I just..the knowledge of his existence is a burden on my soul. He swans about like he owns the fucking joint. Always singing or humming or clicking. Just shut the fuck up. I get migraines so easily and he stresses me out and then just makes so much noise. You know the phrase - "wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire"?, well I'd go one better and go get a glass of water and make that refreshing ahhh sound as I drank it.

In other news - I'm learning to drive again. It's playing hell with my anxiety. I keep chewing off gel nail polish while I wait. Without it my nails now look like total shit XD

I tried getting Adrian to dry my hair for me in the winter. In summer I let it air dry, but in winter it's just a long freezing water scarf. Bleurgh. He was not good at drying hair. Didn't understand why it took so long. I have long hair, and for some reason there's a lot of it. Like, it's not thick it's just...bountiful. lol.

I like lattes...I like sweet. milky coffee. I don't get why anyone would want an espresso. It must be like bitter tar. Bleurgh. Are the iced caramel lattes good? I got scared off trying new things when I tried the Starbucks vanilla spice latte. Tasted like decongestant. It was so fucking bad. I nearly vommed in their store. It really put me off.

Haha - ikr? It's like people who read art house books or high-brow stuff in coffee shops. We all know you're holding it at that angle so more people can see the cover. Guess what, no one is impressed, but good on you for mastering reading at that stupid angle. I'll just sit here reading comics drinking my piss weak sugar milk occasionally sharing inappropriate jokes with Adrian, thnx.

Ha! I sometimes do similar shit - make Adrian put my socks on for me 'cos...effooooort.

I'm showing an accidental interest in the world cup. Well, interest for me. I've googled some results and checked scores. We're doing a sweep stake at work. I want Netherlands to win 'cos I drew them XD They're kicking ass so far...go you...ball kickers...score those..goals? (this does not suit me)

I LOVE Moomins! I use Moomin as a pet name for the cat and Adrian sometimes. Some days everyone is Moomin. Adrian has sugarless coffee, the freak. If I'm having a large latte that bitch better have 7 sugar sachets or ug. I am mocked for this. I like my coffee sweet and milky. Because, really, I prefer tea but I don't trust anyone to make it right. OMFG though, gingerbread latte at Costa (and Starbucks do one too) is LUSH. So festive and warming. Found out they do it all year round which was ❤ ❤

Done any more hipster watching? I like the ones who sit in Costa or Starbucks all day with a Mac Book. Like, well done you have le fancay shiz but this is a highstreet coffee shop, not a posh nice one! Also, you've been nursing that cappuccino for 2 hrs now, gtfo.
