i passed the retard test

i'm so bored of writing "i still have no job" that from now on just take it as read that i have no job.

went for my warehouse agency interview... god it took aages. so many damn forms to fill in, including about ninety different ones wanting my bank details. i then had to do a mental arithmetic test, that was obviously there to filter out all the retards. questions like "count how many numbers there are, and then ring the 8th one" and "what's 25-6?". it did get a little tricker towards the end, with some ever fun long division, but i kicked ass anyway. looks like that badly taught maths a-level is useful for something at least. anyway, i then went upstairs and chatted to some chick about what kind of work i wanted ("just something basic that i can do to earn money to pay off my rent"). turns out her auntie is the top brain surgeon in the world, which is kick ass. i was tempted to lie and say that i was hoping to be a brain surgeon too, but i didn't, mainly because i can't lie to save my life.

did some cleaning today, mmm. furniture polish always smells so good. my dad's running around doing something garden-based outside, maybe having another crack at killng the lawn or something. he stuck some weed killer on it about a month ago and succeeded in murdering all the grass, leaving us with an attractive brown mud patch.

rent came out yesterday, ugh it's so depressing. have to fill my compact grant forms in at some point today, and pray that they give me my damn grand this year. wasn't entitled last year as i did the form too late, so they have to give it me this year. it'd really help, seeing as i'm looking like i'm gonna be unemployed for the majority of the summer.

harry potter and the half blood prince... mmm i want to read it now, damnit, even though the book isn't actually finished yet. i'm gonna be one of those saddos who pre-orders it this year i think, so that it gets delivered to me as soon as possible. lise phoned last night, and we spent a good twenty minutes talking about the third harry potter film, and how amazingly kick ass it was. she also brought me up to date on the latest psycho ward adventures, and i told her all about my sad existance of a life. it was great talking to her again, and i promised her i'd go back down to notts as soon as i could afford it.

shall go watch some more wimbledon now, and pretend that i'm not bored out of my skull. that or i'll watch some badgirls and eat lots of biscuits. or maybe some cheese.

last - next
