Home Alone

Spanx for reminding me of Office Space Kaz m8... I fished out my video of it and reminded myself of its pr0-ness... A couple of amusing Matrix references, in particular, such as the bit where the guy's boss comes looking for him and there's the classic view over the cubicles to the guy in the far corner... Also Jennifer Aniston on her waitress costume has a pin-badge saying "We're not in Kansas anymore" :D

As the title suggests, the 'rents have pushed off: mother to a nursing conference, father to stay with my gran cos she's not feeling too great... So I'm home alone! Tis very dull... I envy all of you who are at uni, surrounded by people to occupy your time... instead of which I have a collection of games I've already completed, films I've already watched and books I've already read. In the later two categories, mostly twice. Sigh... I think I need a job :p Maybe Cineworld in Braintree? Standing around taking tickets isn't very taxing... Even sweeping up pop-corn is pretty easy comparatively... I'll have to see if they have a staff discount :D

On the topic of Cineworld, I'm thinking of going up there tomorrow (or today, now) for an all-day marathon... W00t w00t! Because they take tickets in the hall, not on the door (presumably so they need fewer staff) once you've got in for one film, you can theoretically stay all day... Worth a try, I think!

Also on the topic of jobs, I sent off my Potential Infantry Officer's Familiarisation Visit form today... Should hopefully get me a visit in January, just after my exams... Unfortunately I haven't got a form for the equivalent Royal Engineers visit yet, which I need to do so that I can get them to sponsor me to take the RCB, and thus get my free money! W00t w00t! Well, tis free to me because I'd be doing OTC at uni anyway... speaking of which, has anyone been approached by the OTC at a freshers event yet? Lol...

Fitness Report: Failed to go running this morning... Was too late by the time I woke up, I needed to get in the car and drive ASAP! Will attempt it again upon waking up...

On the plus side, I'm making progress with my maths: on my weekly TA, I got a B... 73%... Score! Considering I got 25% in the exam anyway... Plus my technique was perfecto, the only places I lost marks were questions I couldn't remember the formulas for! So I just have to learn them better, which I've never been too keen on! Argh! Everything requires so much effort! Sigh... back to planning tomorrow's viewing then... 'Night all! Leave me with just my snoring dog - audible through 2 doors over the TV - for company, see if I care!
