Marc’s Musings and Random Rants

I don’t know what is wrong with my modem, but I haven’t been able to get online in a few weeks, now.

And I’ve been working s**t loads as well. Started my fourth job this summer at Southend College on Monday, and it isn’t that busy yet. However, enrolling all the new AS students from next Thursday is going to be mad! Just as the pub will be tomorrow night as we’re going to be purposely short-staffed.

Saw the new bungalow last week – it’s actually quite nice, but needs a lot doing to it as it’s well over 80 years old. Right, need to clear the phone line. Next message in T minus three weeks-ish.

Well, what a busy couple of weeks I’ve had. When I’m not working late at The Elms, or Mill Hall I’m not working late, at Southend Hospital. This week I’ve been in Pathology, sorting out samples. Yes, of all shapes and sizes. Well not really all shapes and sizes. Mainly blood. At least it’s more interesting than Medical Records…

Not a lot been happening apart from work, except a big family do in London tomorrow and (no!) two days off next week!

Had a late night last night working at the Mill Hall Irish/Folk night. Joys. Especially listening to some bloke’s random sexual encounters (“aah, that one was soooo fit!”) because our bar was completely dead.

I’ve also just realised how frustrating it’s going to be next year without a permanent internet connection – I can’t even send my Lancs e-mail properly now (they’ve gone and disabled the smtp from anywhere outside the uni). Got a phone call from the landlady as well. She’d forgotten I’d already paid my summer retainer.

Oh well, back to work in half an hour…

My computer eventually returned home yesterday, albeit with a broken DVD drive Hopefully the ol’ man will know how to fix it! Got a job interview tomorrow for something full time-ish for the holidays. All of the other jobs seem to have fallen through…

I somehow managed to get back home today… I was seconds away from missing the train from Lancaster Station – cheers, Vicki!

Just got back from a nice meal in Southend, and realised that I’m starting my new job tomorrow At least it isn’t an early start…
