• 07:35 Am late. But the plus side to being not-employed by The Dad is that he can stand to wait for me #
• 07:59 The other plus side, of course, is that it's only 8am so I'm not actually late at all. *headdesk* #
• 12:36 Work turned out to be be five levels of brilliant, so I don't know what that's about #
• 17:44 tripped over the demon rug :((((( #
• 21:32 oh man, could I ever do with a tequila or five right now. It's been waaaaaaay too long #
• 22:59 watched CM w/rents. Oh crime shows; you are a true salve #

LoudTwitter, yo.

6.30 this morning and the house alarm (which is keyed in to the fire alarm) throws a hissyfit. Full-on, sirens-blaring, ring-a-ding-ding. Crikey.

The part that freaked me out is that The Mother just slept through it. Her hearing is so bad these days. I had to go into her room and wake her to help me sort the damn thing out.

Work yesterday turned out to be BRILLIANT because I actually had things to do. A guy had come around to test the back-wall refrigerator, and this other guy turned up to replace our lottery machine with a brand new one. Cue hijinks! Then we had to restock the back fridge. Okay, okay, so this all sounds pretty menial but trust me when I say it beats standing around doing nothing for four hours. (The new lottery machine is all touch screen, too, and I have it down, yo, instead of having to yell for people to explain the new buttons, whoop whoop!)

I told y'all about the rug situation already. Rug has been moved.

This morning I decided I'd better book that train ticket to Aberdeen before the price sky rockets. Went to the website, entered the information, got a pre-book discount of £25-30. WHOOP WHOOP! I don't understand this in the slightest because we were going to book the tickets as soon as they were available, and yet now, a fortnight later, they're much cheaper. I'm glad I held off. I know there's no way they're getting any cheaper now; the discount disappears in a week. But thank fuck I waited. This trip suddenly became much more affordable.

I need to do the ironing today - I told The Mother I'd do everyone's casuals. So: yesterday's fandom and an ironing board, coming right up. I know, my life is deathly. I also have two applications to fill in and send off. Let's hope this works in my favour.

The Sister is really busy right now which sucks for her, but also for me because I kind of want to marathon Life with her and she (natch) won't let me. That said, The Rents and I watched Criminal Minds, 3x01 last night (the college campus killings; Gideon's dumbass letter voiceover) which was marvellous. And Emily said: When you move around a lot, you get used to being what people want you to be and I thought, oh, Emily.
