Same Old Ramble I'm Afraid. Complaints to the usual place.
Believe it or not, I did actually post last week, but the site was being a big hairy homosexual and wouldn't put it up for some reason. Neither did it save it. Oh well.I can't remember what it rambled on about, but I'm sure it wasn't that important. It was probably something along the lines of "Dave's gone to Devon, I've got the house to myself, I'm scared of being burgled but loving free use of stereo/computer/oven etc". But, Dave's back now, and things are all back to normal.
Dave has actually got more hours at work. Even though they've been telling him for the past year that his crappy saturdays are the only shifts available to him, the minute he handed his resignation in, suddenly hours were available for him. Lots of hours. Every day in fact. So that's a bit of a bonus on the financial front. Me, I'm still doing the same old stuff, only they've moved my tuesday night to a thursday morning, which is great for me. I get to work with Aaron n Cole that day, and they're both lovely and don't treat me like the new kid (mainly cos Aaron's new too, and Cole... well he's just lovely.) Both Cole and I were bemoaning the fact that even though we both have final year coming up, neither of us can afford to stop working at Asda, though we really need to. It's hard enough going back after a year off but with work and money sitches being an added pressure I can't see me working to my full potential - and it's kinda important this year!
I have had an idea for making a little extra money with little effort and it would prob only take me an hour, and I am seriously considering it. No, it's not prostitution (though not too far away, lol.....) I won't elaborate cos I'm not too sure about it, and some ppl would kinda think it weird... forget I mentioned it.
On the plus side again (this one just seems ot keep going up n down) Dave has got an assesment for a job at Toys R Us. Well, a thing to train him to be a manager anyway, or something like that. I really should concentrate more I guess. He's looking forward to that - he seems to think the job is mainly about playing with Lego. I wonder if such a job exists as a Lego tester, that'd suit him down to the ground. So he's got that to look forward to. Another thing we've got to look forward to is the Keele open day, which is next weekend. Only we've found out that it's not the right day for us. Oh well, we'll go look at the place and analyse the area (is it scummy like Brum? Is it full of KPs?? Are we likely to be robbed/killed/abducted if we live here? Y'know, the usual)
Seriously getting worried bout this whole teaching thing again though (sorry, negative point again...) I emailed the head of social sciences last week to ask about my experience, thinking my french placement would be more than sufficient, but better to be safe than sorry. Well, apparently my placement experience means bugger all. And I need to do ten days minimum at a school in an actual A-level social science class. So I did the most obvious thing - hit my old school's website to find their email addy. So I type out a nicely worded email to send off, and guess what - the email address doesn't work. Yeah, my old school's as organised as it always was when I was there... So I need to get on to them ASAP (which is hard considering they're not back at school til september) and I need them to give me a placement before october, when I'll be going back to uni. And I'll also have to convinve work that these ten days are going to be holiday well spent and useful. It's a tall order....
And of course that means no actual holiday for me this year. Not even a trip to the beach :( What a sad horrible life I have.
