Started a new job at a Pub last week as a glassy, hopefully get some bar exp soon too. It's a nice change to be front of house and no longer doing warehouse stuff, hard work but it's one of the attractions. So far it's exceeded my expectations, all the staff are lovely and the pay rate seems to be awesome and, and they've paid me already, it's like 4 days after i started and every thing has been sorted and i have been paid. That's a real first for me to have everything sorted so quickly.
So needless to say I probably won't be out much in the coming months, which does dampen the mood a bit what with 299 starting Blink and Trash just as i started this job. Though hopefully still get to go to Snitch on Thursdays so that's good.
Also got a lovely surprise in the mail yesterday Clicky Has made me a happy Princess, well worth the tax money spent. Has lots of lovely notes/pictures and the general look and feel of the book is fantastic.Current Mood:  bouncy Current Music: The Used - On my own
