lady_t_220You ever have one of those odd moments when you sudeenly, and for just a split second feel weirdly "grown up"?
Happened to me on the way home today.
Cause you know how your perception of yourself never really changes? Or if it does it changes so slowly that you don't actually notice? Cause if you asked me I would tell you that I don't actually see myself any differently to how I did at 16, or 13 or 10... I mean I know I've changed since then, but I don't FEEL any different.
Well it was one of those weird moments of unreality where for no apparent reason your hidden logical brain goes "You know you're driving a car, right...? And you know you have a job, right...? You know you're not a kid any more, right...?" and in response your self-perception brain goes "HOLY SHIT! I'm one of those grown up people who used to dominate my universe when I was little!"
Very weird random moment.
Got left in charge of the phones for a couple of hours at work today while Lesley buggered off to do some shopping. Stupid phone kept ringing, and every time I picked it up all I got was beeping noises.
Rang every 10 minutes for the best end of an hour and all I got was beeping... the 1471 brought up some Sheffield number I think... now you'd reckon that after unsuccessfully trying to phone a B&B for the best end of an hour whoever was trying to call you would eventually give up, right? There are other B&Bs, probably ones you might actually get through to...
But no, it was still doing it when Lesley got back and I'm like... you deal with it, I dunno what's up with the stupid thing.
Counted up my hours so far since Friday... 18 hours still with 2 more days to go. I'm guessing that'll be another 6 so my 24 hour estimate was pretty good.
Friday will be another 4 but I don't get paid for that till next week.
*counting the days till the weekend*
I'll admit actually, I'm having trouble keeping the days streight at the moment. I only know it's Tuesday cause Andy's coming tomorrow to finish fitting my car stereo which means I have to walk to work from the town center.
*blech*
Must remember to pick up an Argos catalogue for granny on the way home though... and a red nose if I can be bothered to haul myself to Oxfam. Cause it's nearly comic releif and I have to buy a nose. I've had one every year since they started, I can't NOT have one this year...
I see French and Saunders are doing Harry Potter as their movie spoof this year though. :D heeeeeeee
After their Fellowship spoof the other year I've not been able to watch LOTR in quite the same way. I keep seeing Frodo with huge great blue ping-pong ball eyes...
