How Was Your Day?

So you are walking around with your hands attached over one eye permanently? . . . . . . . . . .

I hope he doesn't need to take a shite

Yeah, I know. I've just rang National Express and they've refunded the bus ticket price,not included the booking fee.

That's something, but it's not the money really is it, it's missing out on what you wanted to see.

Cheer him up, why don't you!

I've got a ticket for the Semi. I'm going on train for that though.

Just got back from watching the Carnival Parade. Nice to see people from all backgrounds enjoying cultures of another race without shouting 'terrorist' because they are another colour. Not everyone on here would have enjoyed it though because it was not British.

The Carnival is great fun.

Are they worth it/any good then?

It's been brilliant - I use it just generally but I've discovered it can actually helP me in my business a lot too which was unexpected.

Instead of carrying my ancient and huge laptop around with a diary and notepad its all in one now

I didntent get the newest one - I just went for the iPad2 without the 3G added on - just wifi - and it cost

Just called the security company where I offered a job after a tribunal in March. After emailing explaining what I meant regarding my fitness she said it was acceptable but unfortunately they no longer have the contract for the site they were going to place me.

She said she would check with the manager who deals with sites and see if there is anything else suitable within the Leicester area or beyond taking into account times and travel. They will also send me an email/letter that I can show at the job centre because I said I was not sure what the situation was or what to tell them.

Problem is that they are a Kent company so do not get a lot of contracts outside Kent and London. If starting and finishing times were right I said I would be willing to travel. London is only a couple of hours but then I would not want to do a 12 hour shift. With the travel it could end up with 20 hours a day.

I asked if they knew any local security companies they could put a good word in for me. She said she will see what sites are available then check on that.

If it wasn't for saying on the application that I wasn't as mobile as when younger I may have beeen working for them and finished.

I would be in the same position if they had nothing else to offer.

I was not too keen on the site anyway. The amenities were non existant when I was there. No hot water, tolets that never flushed. One of the managers did the health and safety check and passed it. If it was the same I would have called H & S to ask them to do a snap visit. Noone need have known who called them as they do not have to forewarn of a visit.

I've had a terrible history of sleeping....

Had numerous blood tests at the Leicester General Hospital sleeping clinic on Friday, and on Thursday I'm booked in for an overnight stay with wires attatched to determine the root problem.

A lack of sleep is 'lethal' on a day to day basis.

Went to wicksteed park today. It was ok.

I went on the rowing boats, and thats more knackering than it looks on the telly.

Whisky distilleries

Tasting sessions are brilliant - particularly when they lay out cask strength ones.

I was going to go to the Olympic football semi final at Wembley on Thursday so by chance around 11 O'clock last night I decided to check what time it said on my train ticket. It's a good job I did because the match is today

I've had to rearrange everything this morning so I can go.

[Rincewind]

OK in some respects. Bought a wine glass that holds a bottle from a charity shop for my mums birthday on the 18th . stopped off on the way home for a half, picked up the bag and the glass had broke inside the box. Had to dump it. I then went in the Samaritans shop on Granby Street. They had a big wine glass of sorts It was green and only 99p so I bought that. Seems a better quality glass than the other one. Don't know if it holds a bottle or not. It is unusual and will be safer in transit.

Also asked if they needed any volunteers. Was given a form so will fill that out and hopefully will get a test run.

Also printed some pictures off my digital camera ofthe Carnival. Just 10 for now. Went job Centre was not interogated this week so that is good. Looked through their machines. Could not find anything suitable even though I looked through several types. Security, cleaning, retail, warehouse, Printed two off and not looked at the details properly.

Still hopeful that the security company that had agreed to take me on before they lost the contract of the site I was going to, will find something apropritae regarding times distance and location.

There is a Media meeting for Down Not Out magazine at the library 5-7pm and then the monthly Word event at the Y theatre. I'll try and get my name down to read something.
