So, time for some random bitching!
Still haven't started work for Bury Council, and they offered me the job more than 3 months ago. Still waiting for CRB check. Not amused, as I'd hoped to get my first paycheck in April so that I can go see Ben in NI (and talk at Xaria's group thing) and take El to Disneyland at the beginning of June and have paid for a passport by now.
I'm finally done with SUSO drinks promo stuff, I've done my 30 shops in 35 days and have one last report and batch of photos to send them, and should get paid for the vast majority of it in a week.
Yesterday I refereed at Manchester Cup international junior football tournament. We had to meet there at 9am even though the first games didn't kick off until 11am, and I refereed 12-4.15 with nothing more than a 15min break at 3.15. They promised us free food and drink, but the lumpy hot chocolate, bacon muffins and barely defrosted chips were crap. I was supposed to be there again today, but it snowed about 3 inches overnight and so I called the organiser at 7.40am to say I wouldn't be there as it wasn't worth me travelling a 30 mile round trip on a motorbike through snow, only to find out that the tournament might be cancelled. They owe me £50 for yesterday, and I *might* have been prepared to trek in today if the tournament had been amazingly well organised...but they blew it.
Knees are doing OK, I'm able to run and climb stairs, but I'm not quick enough to play football at the standard I want to and think I should be able to, so I'm going to the gym shortly then off to football training. I've recently made friends with a couple people who I met a couple weeks ago in Taurus, and am glad that I have more cool odd randomers to chat to, who I think are decent human beings. |
