The Roomie
Or "This one goes out to all the shiney happy people!"
Right OK. I give in. I need to take a break from that blimin frog game. Thanks Rudette, this will keep moi annoyed until at least I get home. And then some.
Anyway, I learnt some sad news the other day. Well I've known it for a while, but it was brought back to light at the weekend.
When I moved to Leeds I was hoping to meet loads of ace people and make many friends. The housemates were pretty cool. There was the quiet one that was nice and worked in a record store.
The other was an part time actress, and such employement she met loads of people. So we went out alot.
A few weeks ago the actress room mate moved out for a few weeks to do some plays on the road. You know the types, where they go visit schools and talk about stuff, like women's rights and what not...hmmm
Anyway, before she left she mentioned that she might be going to some drama school for a year in September.
She came back last weekend for two days. Just to change clothes, sleep in her own bed. The subject again came up about her and her long term moving out.
Then yesterday on the way to the pub quiz the quiet housemate was asking if I had an preferences to who moves in. Im not that bothered (a girl 
- only joking....).
But I've realised that despite having a great time when I first moved to Leeds, everything quietened down once the fun housemate left. Now in September the fun housemate will be gone for a long time. This will mean I will have no one at all to drag out, or be dragged out by.
I just hope that who ever the new housemate is, that they enjoy the night life a bit. I think Ill put my foot down at anyone over 30. For my own sanity.
In other news, this made moi laugh.
And Senióretta Killjoy, I promise, as soon as Zoolady sorts out those photos Ill have them posted. Blame the hot weather.
The Fall Guy
Or "It never rains, it pours."
Well it seems that bad news comes to moi in packs.
Do you get "packs of bad news"? Or would it be "groups"?
Apart from the housemate leaving, and moi being unsure of who I can drag out to bar's for the around 15 months, I also learnt some other bad news.
Discussing with the guy I work with what dates he has off, I was in the process of planning my days off around V. (I think you can see where this is leading already...)
It turns out that he has booked the 21st off already. Which would be the day I return from V, meaning I cant be in work that day.
Now as there is only 2 people that work on this project, both of us can't be off at once. There is suppose to be a third person as immediate back up, but he was sacked the other week
What this means is that I can only book off the one day. I've paid £160 for the tickets, and will be the only chance I get to see Radiohead this year and the first time in a while. I MUST GO!
Which means Ill leave work in the unfortunate prediciment of having no one in that day. Which will get me told off alot.
The boss has plans to get someone trained up so that they can be immediate cover before, or for the beginning of August, so things might not be too bad here.
But what do I tell the boss?
Im thinking book off Monday, then call up work from the Fesitval Monday morning to say there was a "problem with the car and that Im returning home soon." And that Ill try to get to work.
But can anyone think of something better to say? Im worried if I say something before hand that he will say no way, then when I do take the day off he will think I'm unreliable.
Would you say that sounded about right?
What do you think?
