Love is Blind was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

I really really really hate places with poor customer service. I tried to hand in a job application at Wilko's yesterday but apparently it was a day late - somebody had ****ed up and put the deadline a day late on the UEA website, so seems like I've had a lucky escape.

Anyway, I walked up to the customer service desk and said where do I need to hand this in and the woman just went "You're too late". I mean, that's actually really quite rude when you think about it. If she was professional and did her job properly she should have said "The deadline was yesterday and we can't take in any more applications, apologies. Please keep an eye out for any future vacancies though and we'll be happy to take in your application at a further date".

They've blatently missed out an amazing employee.


(Sorry for the rant but it's been quiet in this thread anyway, plus it's helping me procrastinate from the economics article I'm supposed to be reading..)

Go read that article Ben! I loved Economics and the internal workings of Milton Friedman *goes all misty eyed*

Anyway, Day one of puffing away on e-cigs ... have a very sore throat. Found that I had to puff on them in the same situations as I would with normal tobacco, so have been going out into the garden whilst emitting a strange blue light...

Also had a puff on my meal break at work today whilst going out for a stroll, I forgot it was fake and nearly threw it down the drain like I did with spent cigarettes, that would have been an expensive mistake!

Didn't know you were a smoker Anne! I've only ever tried it once and I threw up shortly after

Only a social smoker geeky, but I'm a very sociable person

I gave up when pregnant with LA, but cos I went back to work almost straight after he was born, it was a fairly crap existence and I turned back to my good friend Phillip Morris...

Am fairly determined right now - never smoke in front of Little Anzej (obviously) but he's keen for me to save some money to get him an XBox for Christmas

I've got a mate who is on to those electric cigarettes. They crack me up with the wee blue light

I do get the impression that the "**** factor" (ie: I feel like a proper one!) will stop me smoking probably more than the faux fags

EDIT: Oooh, I don't think I've ever been subjected to DS's norty filter before!

I must apologize, I lied, it's actually an article about poverty measurement. But there's a reasonable amount of economics in there so I suppose I can get away with it. If there are any interesting economics articles I stumble across in the next few weeks I'll post the link here for you Anne & you can have a read if you'd like.

Naughty Anne, it's an official warning next!!

If anyone has some spare time they should watch some of these videos. Hilarious. My favourite in this one is the Wheel of Fortune answer

When you changed your original entry in Fantasy 5 to that I was like why have you changed it to some weird Korean song.. Now I see why.

Wasn't it you who uncovered Gotye last year? I think the acts you enter should start giving you some royalties.

last weekend I showed the live concert clip to my mum's carer and she was amazed.. she told me yesterday she saw it on the news the other day and told her husband that was a song I told her about.. I never mentioned it was your pick.. so i'm getting the credit..

I did see gotye and psy on you tube never entered them.. if I was to enter the songs I saw before they were entered by chickens and other farsighted posters I would be quite good at this game..

If only wolfie, if only. I'd employ someone to post on my behalf whilst I lived it up Gangnam Style.
