I’m a wee bit scared of my financial situation at the moment.

No worries, if my calculations are correct once I’ve picked my curtains and returned the bits and bobs I don’t want then I should be left with a bit more money to get by this month. Like said it’s going to have to be a very quiet month though.

I have a nice chunk of four days off next week, can’t wait, I’ll use the time to sort things out. Hopefully build my pc as fingers crossed it’ll arrive by then. Just checking now it says it’s being shipped on Friday woot. Hopefully I’ll get it by early Friday and I can spend the day destroying building it. I’m so excited, I’ve never built a pc from scratch by myself before. yeah I’ve fiddled/changes parts but never the whole thing. I better get my laptop on standby though just so I can run to someone in case I break something :/

I still need to listen to the Mercy all the way through as an album. I’d listened to the songs I’ve missed out and I love a few of them too. However I was thinking last night that this album has a very more commercial vibe to it in some songs. Plus a lot more backing vocals, more fancy guitar, the songs have been carefully produced and tweaked but I feel a certain about of raw energy and all out Jimmy’s vocals are lost. It’s a pretty album but I miss Jimmy’s screaming (though it is used as a climax in some tracks.)

I better get ready for the daily stupidly early grind. At least I’m only in for six hours. Must stay motivated. I need caffeine.

The canon 400d is now really really mine.

I have just made the final payment.

^_^

Now I just have a credit card to empty out but shhh ;)

When I use to be working full time I use to refer to Wednesdays as “Middle Wednesdays” - the idea being that they are neither close enough to the beginning of the week or close enough to the weekend. It’s like the climax of exhaustion and you want it to be the end of the week already but there’s like two days to go.

Yeah today is still Middle Wednesday despite I do in fact get a day off tomorrow. God I’m so glad I am because despite having pretty early nights of late I still feel totally not with it this morning.

I still don’t know if I got the day off I wanted for Duck weekend, it’s a bit frustrating. And I’m very impatient.

I don’t really have anything I need to say apart from, can  go back to bed now please?

Oh and I am very very very very very very very poor, send donations my way cheers.I just can’t avoid spending lots of moneh, six days till pay day and finding out just how much trouble I’ve put myself in :(

I’m not sure which is worse, the fact I went to perve after pics of Aaron North on flickr, or I found a flickr account full of Aaron North pics…

To be fair about 70% of the attraction comes from his guitar antics when playing with NIN. Why I find that there’s something extremely attractive about a guy prancing, jumping, throwing himself about a stage while ripping out a flood of heavy thumping raw sounds and intently destroying stuff around him is beyond me…

So yeah…anyway…

Today I got paid, and was most surprised that I received my currently earned holiday pay as well.

I had originally planned/budgeted to pay out about a £70 this week thanks to this bit of extra I could now pay off another £119.79 - meaning I have exactly £100 left! I’m so excited, I could have actually paid it off totally with this weeks pay, but I needed the buffer for you know random expenses like fuel food etc.

I know I can’t finish it next week because I’ve worked a lame amount of hours this week, so I’m currently estimating the debt to be cleared by…February 1st?

I can’t believe it might actually happen.

It was absolutely dead. I mean seriously at some point there were more staff than customers dottering about the place. I find it amusing that we seemed to be understaffed on loads of days and now we seemed overstaffed.

Anyhow this was a good thing because there was barely anything to be done, no little jobs, tidying was a damn easy because there weren’t many customers messing things up. So I found myself chatting to someone I got on with by the fitting rooms for about half an hour before my shift was up. Thankfully I was only in for four hours so didn’t have to stand around being bored to death till the end of the day woot.

So yes…
