clo_againBack. Starving, tired (due to delayed flights I missed the easy, quicker trains and got back two hours later than planned. Bastards), feeling travel-dirty and infuriated that the porters weren't there for me to pick up my Hot Fuzz DVD. I'm getting seriously pissed off at the amount of times I have to attempt to pick up a parcel before they'll deign to be there. Four times for Advent Children last Saturday and I can see this turning into the same sort of thing.
So much for the Head of Security telling me two months ago that he'd ask the porters to set definite times that they'd be there to hand out post. God forbid they might have to interrupt their little tea breaks together over in Lonsdale or Graduate. It's not like we're paying for them to be there or anything.
Yes. This is the bitterness that comes from having a DVD you've waited weeks for - and paid for - on the opposite side of a locked door and looking to stay that way for at least tonight, on top of about seven hours travelling including a slightly bumpy flight that I spent most of silently freaking out (I have a love/hate relationship with flying. I love heights but don't trust modern technology to keep me up there. It's not a comfortable outlook.)
On the plus side, had fun in Dublin. Saw bog bodies and a freaky Naural History Museum filled with countless stuffed animals. It was fascinating in a very creepy way. Have decided we need a Captain America's in Lancaster, because dude. Cool place.
Must talk self out of another trip to porters in galeforce winds. Bad idea. Yes. It's not like they'll even be there.
There was something else I was planning to be bitter about too and I've forgotten what it was. So just know that I am bitter. In general. About everything.
Actually it's probably a bad idea to talk to me before the morning. Yeah.
edit: Bit the bullet - or rather, the galeforce winds - and went down to check again. Porter was there. Have DVD.
...
Feel vaguely silly now. Yes. But. That flight really freaked me out! And I really like this movie!
...I know. Digging myself to Australia. Shut up. ;)
