Got a phone call last friday from a library recruitment agency that I'm registered with telling me about a job they had on their books which they thought I looked good for that paid approximately 3-5 dollars an hour more than the job I have now and lasts seven months longer.

Today they called me up and told me that the library in question wants me to come in for an interview early next week and that the job actually pays between 5-7 dollars an hour more than the job I'm currently working.

They're a little hazy about the exact details but it looks like I've got a decent chance at it. Just have to keep telling myself that it's a cataloging position, my lack of social abilities may work to my advantage.

"Hell, I haven't seen SPIDER-MAN 2 yet."

"But... you work in comics."

"You work in a supermarket. Have you tasted that new brand of dogfood I saw advertised on the tv the other day? No? Then fuck off."

Well I got a nice little surprise today when I agreed to let Windows update stuff and then restarted my comp after several reminder messages that annoyed the hell out of me.

When I restarted all my bookmarks in Firefox had disappeared. So I got to spend this evening trying to remember my usual haunts and bookmark them again.

I'm sure I have some stupid virus that is causing it, but I'm too cheap to buy new anti viral software. I need to go back to Mac... but I won't start that argument again.

Bought a DVD of Orson Welles' The Third Man for A$5.00.

Plinky zither music and Viennese sewers, here we come!

last wednesday night, i was at the cinema with my friend S. she was talking about how she needed to get a new car, the one she'd been driving for years was starting to cost her too much money. friday morning she was hit by a truck.

luckily she was ok, she has a sore neck, headaches, but had it checked out, so nothing serious, and given the car was trashed, she was lucky. saturday she went out and got a new car sorted. yesterday was her first day back at work.

just as i was about to leave yesterday i got an email asking if i could give her a lift to pick up her new car, now that all the paperwork was cleared. so i got home, quick bite of dinner, and back out to pick her up.

roadworks caused us to take a bit of a mad route, rather than the motorway. but we got there. she picked up her car. and she followed me back. strange to see her driving in such a reserved fashion.

got almost all the way back to hers. i was 3/4 way round a roundabout when this boy racer comes straight through. i could see him coming. we both slammed on the brakes. thought how typical would that be, if i get hit helping her out? luckily we managed to stop in time, but it was so damn close.

this morning. back out here. no one in this office. so its quiet. its really wet out there, so it was pretty hard driving conditions, visibility was really reduced, yet still folk driving flat out - idiots.

tired. and a little frustrated because this computer is crap, and i'm sure that is the reason i can't get into my yahoo account.

My cat tore into my new loaf of bread while I was gone. I came home, looked at my table and noticed it seemed a bit empty. Went through the motions of making a sandwich when, uh oh!, couldn't find the bread.

The bread was under the table, the bag mangled like a present on Christmas morning, chunks of bread torn and (I'm assuming) eaten. Dammit.

Kitties need starch too, you know.

I guess so, though I'm sure cat food is loaded with it.

And tasty bull testicles, too.

That's where they get the protein!

This is why Fear shows are limited to humans. Cats would own it up.

So would Asians. They eat practically everything.

I had that happen to me once also- Now I keep a back up of my book marks- On IE oddly enough, I can just transfer them over-

I returned to work after a two day abscence due to what seemed like two colds at once compounded with a raging sinus infection.

Ah yes, one of life's little lessons. When ordering beef pho, never ask for the 'special beef pho'.

Oh, GOD! Balut!!!!! That shit should be illegal.

My uncle brought some to a party once and made me watch him eat it. He said it was, "good for you". Yeah, watching someone eat underdeveloped ducks is totally "good for you".

What was "special" about it? Cartilage?
