Blarg.

Ugh. I feel like half my day’s been robbed from me. Probably because it has, but then again I slept through the morning. Work last night was pretty dreary (even by the usual standards), and without a really good night’s sleep between Sunday and today, it was pretty much needed. So yeah, rested and such. Yum.

What I /cannot/ say Yum about is what I had for lunch. If you don’t know about UK food, it’s mostly microwaveable crap that has very little nutritious value, and just fills space. A typical example of this was my lunch; a Rustler’s burger. Sixty seconds in the microwave, and it’s edible. Barely. But meh, food is food; I’ll have something good at work. Working at a store means you have a much wider selection of food than you did at home. xD

Looks like the trip to the US is off, at least for now. Let me put it this way: Ashley and I have always been somewhat polar opposites, and as the saying goes, opposites attract. To a degree. I’m not going to write exactly what went wrong (she did the same for me, and I owe her at least that), but it’s been pretty much downhill for a while now. If she doesn’t want to speak to me, that’s fine. If she does, that’s fine too. Honestly, I’m not mithered either way. A friend wouldn’t ream your AIM with IMs while you’re quite obviously asleep, and basically act like you’re so hard done to because I’m not replying, but hey.

Yesterday wasn’t so bad, although I have to admit that I was pissed at one point. Blockbuster was running another promotion for their voucher booklet. Way back when, it was a case of get the booklet (which costs £25), and get 10 rentals with it. These would normally cost £4.95, and would last two nights. Now that the cost has gone up to £5.95, you can keep the games for a week. This is much better value for money imo, simply because you can’t really finish a game in two nights. But these voucher booklets, that cost the same, now charge you £2.50 per game rental AS WELL AS the saving from the voucher. So in reality, it saves you £1 per rental. So really, instead of saving me £25 from £50, which is 50%, I save £10 from £60, which is 16.6%. My store has complained, so they’re not just saying ‘lol read the small print next time’. Took out Rainbow Six from the library, and reserved Ubuntu for Dummies when it comes in.

Tonight, moarwerk and then a few days off. Honestly, I’m itching for that break. But at least we get paid on the 23rd.
