h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My 0.2 is for 9 months from 1 Oct - 30 June, then Cinders shifts back to zero hours. I will not £££ for any of the work done in September as this 'counts towards the hours for the contract'.

Memo to self - get some vaseline to make the process more bearable.

Luckily, I have the consultancy income stream, but the lesson is clear and I know what I need to do.

In mid-November I should get £££. I will by that point have been working on contract-related &c since early September. I have just done the math...

This is depressing stuff. I have to go to the place four days a week and that steps up to five the week after next. I don't have a desk or PC access, and have not gone near the staff room since May's humiliating ausgethrowal. I hang around. I suppose I could get a desk space if I really pushed, but I'd feel like a beggar - is a halfpenny grudgingly thrown really such a prize when the alternative is the courtesan's tubercular verisimo death in the cold and snow, which is not wholly without appeal to someone as self-pityingly passive-aggressive as YHN? No, don't mind me, I'll just sit here and die... am I getting in your way, I'm sorry just step over the corpse.

Re the Kindle - suspicions as to the battery life.

Bacon and bubble & squeak (shop bought) for tea.

Cold, windy, icy - must look out scarf and gloves. This winter will be a hard one.

The Petheridge/Waters Lord Peter Whimseys are ver' good.

Sometimes the students make it all worth while.

Fireworks popping out back.


Druggy

Scarf and gloves here today too - but still lovely and sunny.
