May contain things looking like words in OD

Friday, met up with a couple of friends for a few drinks, ended up going back to theirs and stayed most of Saturday as well. T’was good.

The rest of the weekend was spent watching films.

Yesterday, I had to go and sign on. More than that, I had an interview with them for something called work program. This, as it turns out, means handing me over to a place called Ingeus. However, looking at their website, they don’t actually appear to have an office in Middlesbrough. Furthermore, the only place like that in the building I was told their office was is A4e. Long time readers may remember me writing about my previous problems with A4e.

So, if I am sent back there, that’ll be fun. I will, however, show them the complete and utter contempt that they deserve.

Then I had to give blood. Which was less painful than the job centre interview to be honest. I got a leaflet about bruises, which was interesting, because the person who put the needle in thought she had caused one. Which she has, but it’s not that serious.

Spent the rest of the day messing about online. Well, went home to check for mail and discovered that Talk Mobile, after cancelling my contract and not warning me it was going to happen, now want to charge me a £60 cessation fee. Yeah. That’ll happen.

Went home and watched stuff I downloaded. Phoned my mum, so hopefully I’ll be getting my Forbes tartan tie soon. Also, got a shock when I checked Twitter to see if the new TTZ had been released yet. The author of the book I reviewed in my last entry retweeted my review. Look, I’m not making this up:

Currently listening to Rebekah Brookes testifying at the phone hacking enquiry. I’ll tell you, between what she’s said and what the Messrs Murdoch earlier on, it seems you can run a newspaper and have no fucking clue about what the hell goes on at said paper on a day to day basis.
