Back from V Fest

So, I've spent the weekend doing the following:

• Getting sunburned
• Drinking Carlsberg
• Smoking too much
• Trying not to go to the loo AT ALL
  
• Getting muddy
• Being rained on
• Having piss thrown over me
• Being crushed by wankers
• Being walked on by arseholes
• Sleeping on the ground
• Spending my boyfriend's money
• Seeing many, many bands

So, all in all, it was good. Well, bodily fluids aside, that is.

Muse were fantastic live, as were The Verve. Amy Winehouse was not so much. LostProphets made the audience be full of thirteen year olds who moshed too much and nearly killed Sam. Lenny Kravitz was wonderfully chilled.

I saw others, but I can't think which ones right now. I am far, far too tired.

I love festivals. Just not the people.

Customer Encounter of the Day #2

I am pricing up some of our random bathroom accessories with the wonderful pricegun, when a mother and her young-teen children walk past. I smile and tell them good afternoon. She smiles back brightly, and rounds the corner.

Customer: And that's why I'm making you go to university when you're older.

Pre-Festival Excitement

I AM GOING TO THE V FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND.

For the uneducated, this means spending a weekend in a tent with limited toilets/showers, expensive alcohol, crap food and MANY BANDS.

My boyfriend is here, and we are prepared! Well, kind of. We still need to sleep and print off the directions, but everything will be fine.

Back on Monday. =D

You think I can't kill because I'm beautiful?

So, I was thinking I need to get drawing again. Apparently, Seija has really inspired me because I keep drawing/doodling while I am speaking to her ... Yay! I think it helps having something to be enthusiastic about for once. Being on her forum is like, the ONLY interesting thing that has happened to me in almost a year. And if I just keep sketching like, once a day, I will be back at the standard I was before I stopped -- although I still have to work on my concentration.

I don't care if I don't finish things. Just STARTING it is an improvement for me. I've also decided that to get me back into drawing people, I'm gonna use reference, which I never did unless I was drawing it for like, art class or something and wanted it to look like the person ...

So anyways, I got a quarter way through Corbin, half way through Porcelain and I'm still not sure how I want to draw Leo. xD I figure drawing characters that other people have created will let me get on with the drawing as opposed to needing to think what they look like.

ROO IS OFFICIALLY GODDAMN LAZY

Today sucked.

Ugh, so today has been a hideous day all round, if I'm being honest. I got up late and missed the early train. While I was brushing my teeth, I threw up in the sink -- and missed my late train, too. I ended up getting into my shift half an hour late. u.u;;; Then it rained, no, POURED while I was on the train, and when I got into work the front of the store was like, flooded.

So then it was okay for a while, because we had an eensy-tiny delivery for the department (like, one pallet. xD) which, yes, did take me two hours to put out because I was wasting lots of time by tidying and making the department look nice.

Then there was a call out for for multi-skillers, and I went and used the till for THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY APRIL TRAINING. I was ... Panicky. xD But it was okay, and people came stood with me so I didn't fuck up too bad.

And then as I was coming home I was like, ouch, wtf is that on my butt? And when I got home I had a look and it was like, THE BIGGEST SPOT IN THE WORLD and was taking over my arse cheek. So I had a nap and then got my mum to come get rid of it because it was in the most awkward place EVAR. And then I had a go once she'd like, broken the skin and all this blood came shooting out and went all over my hands and made a real popping noise and everything. It was disgusting. Then I had a bath to rid myself of the disgusting-ness.

So, that was my horrible, disgusting, bodily-fluid filled day. I WANT IT TO BE TOMORROW. D<

(Also, yes, I KNOW I said I would not talk about work in here, but ... Sod it, it needed to be said somewhere other than my LJ).
