# NO. BLOG TIME.
Newspapers getting delivered to uni today so I had to be there at 9am. Left my house at 8, got the bus stop at 8:15. First bus of the day not till 9.

Eventually get there and the papers aren't there with an angry white van driver waiting for me. Initial relief. Then they still aren't there an hour later. An hour after that. Eventually at 2pm I phone the printer. 'Oh, no, we don't delivery on Bank Holidays'. I HAVE AN EMAIL HERE THAT SAYS YOU DO.

So essentially a wasted morning, thanks for asking.

# Based on the email send them a bill for 5 hours at time and a half.

# They've got me there, as a mere student I do this for love, experience and to pass the time
And 1.5 times that isn't much.

# If he says Uni, that might imply a student...
What's 1 and a half times bugger all?

# True
Which is why I qualified. But I thought that involvement with a newspaper was likely to tip the balance.
