clo_againOkay, so there was new Good News Week on this week? Dear Channel Ten, I want a full goddamn podcast this time. No more fourteen and ten minute nonsense! I don't care if you make me pay $2.99 per episode or what-the-hell-ever. I JUST WANTS A WHOLE EPISODE. DAMN YOUS.
We didn't get the Melbourne Comedy Festival one as a podcast either. It's probably on Youtube in bits but it's not the same. Just because we're in Britain doesn't mean we don't want to watch GNW Channel Ten! 'm just saying. And tomorrow I have 750 more buckets to security tag so believe me, you do not want to piss me off further this week or we'll see how many irritating complaint emails I can cram into the hours between 5:30pm and midnight. Hint: IT WILL BE MANY.

In other news, work doesn't suck so much. Yes it's tedious and repetitive but there are no customers. I didn't realise 'til now just what a big part customers played in my Issues with my last job; plus everyone is nicer in this place, in that I don't get told I'm weird for liking Top Gear and they actually know interesting things like that iPhones don't work around here and where I should go if I want to go horse-riding. So apart from my GNW problems, life is not so bad.
BUT. It will be in a few days because people on Twitter are already going on about the Edinburgh Fringe. I want to go so badly and just don't have any money, not to mention accomodation's going to be non-existent. Why don't I know anyone in Edinburgh? WHY? Neil Gaiman and Wil Anderson are going to be there, plus all the International Book Festival goodness. I hate everyone who's going and leaving me here. Bah. *sulks* I'm thinking next year I should plan to go for at least a week of it. How far in advance would I need to book the hostel do you think? Hm.
I just idly checked what Tim Minchin is up to and realised he's actually performing on my birthday. But in Northampton which even though I don't know where it is (it was featured in Kinky Boots wasn't it?) I definitely cannot get to because it's like five hours on the train. And I rather suspect the London one on the 24th will be sold out, because it's London. Maybe Birmingham... There're seats left in Birmingham but I couldn't get back that late, so I'd have to stay over on top of the £40 train ticket (the Tim Minchin ticket is only £17.50. How dumb is that, that my train ticket is more than double the price of what I'd be going to see?) Mmmmmmexpensive. And Manchester which is easier to get to for me is pretty much sold out of all the good seats. Maybe I'll take a raincheck. *gloom*
(I'm not checking out Edinburgh for October 10th. I'm really not. I can't afford it dammit, even though it's cheaper for me to get to Edinburgh than London. Ack, I hate not being rich.)

Actually while I'm thinking of train tickets,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kindoftrouble when am I coming down for in November? And did you know that there's another Top Gear Live show going on in November too? However, the cheapest tickets seem to be £42. I can't decide if that's too ridiculous or not but given that I'm probably skipping anything birthdayish in October this year... I don't know. It could be the wrong end of November anyway, in which case maybe not.

Anything else... nope, I'm all out of complaints. Except, my pay for last week showed up in my bank account today. Haaaaaaappppyyyyyyyy. More of that in the next month please! I could so totally cope with a fulltime job at this place.
Okay, now I'm really out of anything to pointlessly ramble about. Laters y'all. :-)
