Generalities in OD

I’ve been fighting with my bank for the past week. I’ve been locked out of the online service, which they’ve admitted is there fault and they’ve consistantly lied to me about things connected with that. So, I’ve had it. I’ve decided to move banks. Just waiting to hear back from the one I’ve decided to go to.

It’s not the first time they’ve pissed me about like this, but it’s definately the last.

Cureently addicted to the TV show Revenge. It’s damned good and everyone, I mean EVERYONE should be watching it. I will convert people if I have to go door to door in order to do so.

Had quite a boring week. Job search as usual. I’m having fun winding them up as I don’t apply for jobs in Boro (not hard to do, there are no jobs in Boro) but applying eslewhere for writing/creative jobs. You should have seen my advisors face when I said I had applied for a job wiritng radio jingles.

Course, this is the same guy who wants to see me fill out an online application form to make sure I’m answering questions how the employer wants me to rather than, say, being honest I’ll keep winding him up.

Course, he can’t find the CV I’ve emailed to them four, yup that’s FOUR times so I’ll probably have to resend that.

So, fuck ’em. Their idea seems to be to piss me off so much that I’ll get a job in spite of, instead of with the help of, them and purely so I don’t have to deal with them any more.

I’ve been without a phone for much of the last week. Entirely my own fault, I let paying my bill slip more than I should have. But, thankfully, I was able to pay it today so it’s back!

Starting to plan heasding home for the holidays and discovered that I get paid just before Hogmanay! Brilliant news, cos it means I don’t have to borrow from the folks/see in the New Year at home. It does mean I’ll have to come to an arrangement with my landlord but that should be simple enough.

Tomorrow, I’m going to the Riverside to watch Boro play. A local charity is going to be having a collection before the game and in return for volunteering to stand around holding a bucket for three hours I get a free ticket for the game. I actually can’t wait. Boro are my second team (the first being Aberdeen) and I’ve wanted to go to a game at the Riverside for ages but never had the money.

Aso, got my picture taken with the Premiership trophy! There’s a new branch of Barclays in town (actually, they closed the other two so it’s the only branch in the town centre) and it was officially opened today. Barclays sponsers the Premiership so they brought the trophy up and took pictures of people standing next to it. (Unlike when the FA Cup I wasn’t even allowed to touch it). Here’s the pic I got them to take on my phone:

So, that’s the FA Cup and the Premiership trophy. Still no Scottish trophies but I live in hope.
