I'm liking the new QOTW. Many stories shall follow.

As for now, come on in.

I'm a little sad

EDIT: Sorry, it's here.

Are you well?

I'm finished work for the summer!

Evening!
Still no sleep for me - seriously worried!

Loon - just read your story. Love it!

@TRL Excellent story.

So
It seems to be a bit quiet tonight. Is anyone actually about on the one night I seem to be here?

Evening all
I have many QOTW answers ready to go.

I am slightly miffed though as I suggested this about a month ago.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:10, Reply)

I'm sort of about
Was reading some QOTW and now I'm going to do a few bits and pieces on my to-do list.

Will probably check in from time to time though.

Nings all
How is everyone? I'm popping in and out of here tonight as lots to do and then after tomorrow, I have A WHOLE WEEKEND OFF WORK. It's been weeks and weeks since I last had one of them, so I'm rather looking forward to it :)
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:39, Reply)

Ning everyone!
That's a great story loon!

How are you, becks? What are you going to do with your weekend off?
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:41, Reply)

OOH becks
What are you going to do with your time?

I've got three days work next week. I might have mentioned this before but I'm very excited.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:42, Reply)

Cheers!
Grats Miss Bin!
( Captain V, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:43, Reply)

I'm going to visit my parents
for a few hours as my dad's not been well, and I think most of my family will be there. I'm seeing someone for drinks at some point over the weekend and planning the new season of puppy school that I'll be co-hosting soon.

Happy b3taday DiT

What's everyone else up to?

Edit: Ooh I didn't see your 3 days work MrsL, YAY for that :)
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:47, Reply)

Weekend plans
Probably going to go shopping as I'm in desperate need of some new clothes. Going to try and catch a nearby stand up gig too as part of my drive to start doing more things.
( Captain V, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:51, Reply)

Hi becks, DiT
Congrats on the work Mrs L, you had disappeared earlier before I had a chance to say.

I am now finished work for the summer. I am happy. I have 2 whole weeks off, then freshers week, then uni. So now I just need to move stuff up to my flat. And hopefully write much music.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 20:59, Reply)

Thanks, all.
I've seen Big Boss today, but only at a distance.

Heh.
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 21:04, Reply)

Thanks PoD
I'm very excited!

@TRL
Is there not some way you can take advantage of the workings of his car to ensure he often gets locked in it? Or does he now know how to get out using all the levers, wires and whirly things?
( Captain V, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 21:19, Reply)

I'm loving this QOTW
I've already written a couple of entries although I'm saving the good stuff for tomorrow.

*Edit* where the cock and cunt is everyone?
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 21:42, Reply)

I'm still here
Playing guitar, reading QOTW because it's good, and watching tv. And considering writing some of my own questions, but I'll probably do it tomorrow.

I'm liking your posts Mrs Bin.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:14, Reply)

Thanks PoD
There are better ones yet.

I worked with the general fucking public for about 15 years.
I hate everyone now.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:18, Reply)

I've only had two jobs
One is in a ceilidh band, so not really any from that. The other is in a coffee shop, so I have loads.

Even just from today, I have 2.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:19, Reply)

I bet coffee shop customers are the worst kinds of gits.
That said I complained once in Costa because my hot chocolate was tepid at best and got nothing but a cold stare.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:22, Reply)

Sometimes those things happen, and I will accept it as my mistake and make a new one
But today apparently I couldn't make a cappucino, and it was more like a hot chocolate!? She knew, because she drank a lot of cappucinos.

I refrained from saying that for every one she drinks, I probably make 30 or 40.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:25, Reply)

Oh I know those bastards
When I used to work in the opticians.

"I've been wearing glasses for 20 years, I know that these aren't right"
"Well I've been wearing shoes for 33 years, BUT I COULDN'T MAKE A FUCKING PAIR."
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:28, Reply)

I nearly shouted at her
So nearly.

Instead I just used the phrase "Well I could make you another one, but I can guarantee that it will be exactly the same as the one you have now."

Then I stormed off.

edited - I should state that I have managed to not shout at anyone for a whole year when I worked there, and three subsequent summers.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:31, Reply)

when I worked at Boots opticians
I hated my job and used to shout at customers. Great fun.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:45, Reply)

Ahh
customer service, gotta love it ,) I did it for...around 10 years to the masses and have some customer facing stuff to do now, but it's very different. Different kind of stress, but not shouty stress.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:46, Reply)

I'm writing a story up just now
It's turning into kind of an epic.

How are you becks?

I have a boots eye check next Monday.

Evenin' all
Still waiting to see if the remaining company will reject me or not. Am dreading the "new mail" sound my computer makes when I get a new e-mail. Am currenty trying to track down potential referees via Google in case they still can't get through to the referee who is not responding.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:51, Reply)

I'm very good thanks PoD
very smiley and happy tonight :)

How's it feel to not have to work again for ages?

Have to be honest, I can't bear chain coffee places as the hot chocolate is shit and I don't drink coffee. Aside from nearer christmas when I have to start drinking Chai tea again :)

Spakka, fingers crossed
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 22:58, Reply)

I agree Becky
I'd rather have a class of 30 children than one shouty customer.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:01, Reply)

Shouty customers are fine
so long as you can shout back. When you're a lowly customer service representative, knowing that you'll get fired if you shout back or disagree with them, it's hard to enjoy your job. I hope I never have to go back to retail.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:03, Reply)

I don't work in a chain
It's independent.

I have now finished writing my epic tale. It's a bit longer than I thought it would be.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:04, Reply)

@beckx
Thanks for the crossed fingers.

I too usually don't drink coffee and prefer hot chocolate given the choice. In fact, when I visited Seattle, I did not drink a single sip of coffee while I was there. Although I still accept coffee if it's the only thing on offer.

Evening spakks
Hmm, my throat feels like it's been raped. This isn't great.

In other news, I have musically pretty much written two songs tonight. Woo.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:25, Reply)

Yay for songage!
Has your throat caught an infection or is it something you did to it?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:31, Reply)

I'm not entirely sure
Might be the startings of a cold. Which would suck.

Suck muchly.

All well in Europe?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:33, Reply)

Yeah
My maternity shop wanking story is in second place. I'm going to enjoy that while it lasts.

*basks in glory*
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:48, Reply)

My story is very near the bottom
Nobody loves me :(
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 23:54, Reply)

I can't believe that it has run to
5 pages already.
(actually I can)

I think we should run a book on the total number of pages before the 'last' posts start.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Fri 5 Sep 2008, 0:01, Reply)

I think
There's gonna be a lot of stories this week. I plan to post at least 5 or 6 probably. I haven't posted any in ages.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 5 Sep 2008, 0:02, Reply)

Right I'm off
to bed.

night all.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Fri 5 Sep 2008, 0:10, Reply)

I'm off too
Night.
