Every dog has its day

Yesterday was bleurgh. Due to a computer error at work, not getting paid until Monday which was beyond inconvenient as I was supposed to be driving down to my mothers'. Instead of leaving at 11am, I left at almost 3pm, after eventually going in to work and borrowing money for petrol. And of course, it was Friday in half term - a drive that normal takes three hours took five and a half. Didn't get to see my buddy in Gloucester or anything and didn't get home until 2am. Not so fun when you have to be at work at 07:30 the next day.

On the upside, mother gave me the money to get my teeth fixed and paid for petrol for the trip. Also bought me 200 smokes from the duty free, as she was in New York last week to see my sister. I was shocked, seeing as she's been trying to get me to give up since I started. Apparently she couldn't find the perfume I wear in Newark airport so she bought those instead. Bonus! She also lent me her scanner, agreed to loan me the cash to buy a ticket for the Rocco De Luca gig and is coming to London with me that weekend so we can go Christmas shopping and see a show. Hurrah!

And I have my computer back! *squee* Everything has been restored, so I have all my music and downloads etc, which is love. Unfortunately, itunes is still not working. I mean, it loads and I can import CD's and things now but still every time I plug my ipod in, the whole computer shuts down. What the fuck? It must be a problem with Firewire or something but its a total drag. I have new AC/DC CD's I want to put on my ipod! *cries* I foresee a trip to PC World on Monday. They will no doubt be clueless but I have to try.

Work was meh today, due to being v. tired and attractive!Sam being in a mood all day. I thought I could guess the reason and turned out to be right - he broke up with his girlfriend tonight. And now I know I don't have a chance with him because he was telling me about it, which means we've become...*shudder*...friends. Ugh. Ah well, I've no time anyway so it's allgood. And a bunch of us hung out for drinks after we finished tonight and that was fun, so, cool. I really wanted to go out into town aferwards so I did, on my own. Ended up going for a long drive and listening to tunes, which was nice. I love driving. And could totally justify it as the clocks go back tonight so I get an extra hour to sleep.

I am so bored and restless. I've lived in Lancaster for over a year now and a year is usually my limit. Won't go anywhere until after college of course, and then hopefully I'll be moving to Oxford. If not - I dunno. England's the same all over. The next move will have to be to London I think, as there's nowhere else interesting to go. I think I figured out the reason I have to move around all the time, now I come to think of it, but I'm too tired to go into it now and its not that important or interesting anyway.

I'm maudlin today because I'm going to be on my own for Christmas again. Housemate Jen will have moved up to Scotland and I have to work, so mother's not coming up for it. I adore Christmas though so it doesn't really matter, a quiet one will be just as nice.

Enough rambling. Just putting off going to sleep anyway but must, as have work in a few hours. *goes to crash*
