Jobs!

[teyla]

I HAVE A JOB THAT GIVES ME FREE COFFEE WHENEVER I WANT IT.

I think that's really all I've ever wanted out of a part-time employment. Free coffee. And a free lunch muffin. Om nom nom. I'm also making over £100 a week--at least at the moment, when there is no uni--which means that my monthly budget just more than doubled. Jobs. Are nice.

Watch me get fired after my first week because I'm going to have to tell them that I have a pre-booked States-side holiday from Dec 11 until Jan 2. >_>

Also, I'm getting old. I woke up this morning feeling like utter crap. As in, seriously. I was dizzy and nauseous and little black spots kept dancing across my vision. NO MORE ROLE PLAYING UNTIL 5:30 AM WHEN I HAVE TO GET UP AT 9. She said and rp'ed until 6 instead. (The utter-crap-feeling may have partially been time-of-the-month induced, though. And I'm feeling fine now; was actually feeling fine by the time I arrived at work. Getting up in the morning. Is hard.)

I have nothing of interest to share? Except this. OMG IT IS FULL OF BABY ANIMAL PICTURES. D'awwww.

(And a note to Mr Gaiman. Dear Mr Gaiman, I appreciate you as a decent writer, exceptional blogger and knowledgeable internet-user, as well as a fellow Who geek. In that sense, please don't take it the wrong way if I tell you that you spelling Doctor Who as Dr Who makes me want to stab puppies. Sincerely and all of that, someone who is only watching the next series because it's got a Gaiman episode.)

Free coffee is a brilliant perk. :-D

And may I say, I *love* your journal header. *stares*

[teyla]

Aw, lol, thanks. xD I am not a fan of the DW default comment pages, so I had to put together a layout that has a readable custom comment page. This one's old, I've used it on LJ before. Unfortunately, for some reason, on my reading list the poster's journal name doesn't show up. I will have to try and figure out how to fix that.

Free coffee is brilliant! Although the job's quite busy, so you rarely get a chance to actually have any of the free coffee. >_>

[pulangaraw]

Mmmmh, free coffee. Since I have now officially joined the ranks of coffee addicts, I am slightly jealous!

I'd tell them at the latest possible date about the holiday. And then with big sad puppy dog eyes. You might get lucky. ;D

Also, LOL You gotta get used to sleeping at night now! OMG! *gg*

[teyla]

I told them about the holiday on Tuesday, and so far, they haven't fired me yet. There's still hope!

[pulangaraw]

Oh good. I'm crossing my fingers!

NO MORE ROLE PLAYING UNTIL 5:30 AM WHEN I HAVE TO GET UP AT 9. She said and rp'ed until 6 instead. LOLOL I have so done that. It's THE DOWNFALL, I TELL YOU! But also, a special kind of bliss. I am not helping. XD

But yay free coffee! That must be glorious, actually. =)

[teyla]

Free coffee is pretty glorious, yeah. I am such a coffee addict.

I just recently joined a RP comm . . . so I am now constantly playing until 4 or 5 am. Not great when you have to get up around 9. But at least my job's only part-time, so I'm only doing about 20 hours a week. That's doable on little sleep. ;)

YAY JOB! :D

Word to mornings.

Also, word to the abbreviated spelling of Doctor Who. He's not a real doctor, guys. You wouldn't write it: Who, M.D. Or Who, P.h.D. (Though that was be hysterical and I'd kind of prefer it, in fact.)

[teyla]

Inooo, I hate the Dr Who. And so many people do it! People from who'd you expect different, too. Like Neil Gaiman. Oh well. Maybe someone will tell him, at some point.

Who, PhD is kind of awesome, though.

[daphnie_1]

Neil Gaiman is pretty much my god. I *adore* his writing - especially his comics. His comics make me flail like nothing else. Especially when he's writing a particular character (John Constantine) that he fanboys. Seriously, with that particularly character he's probably the best. Probably even better than the guy who invented the character.

Not to mention the fact I fangirl Good Omens like nothing else.

LOVEING the new layout!

[teyla]

As you know, I don't really read comics--I have read a couple of Sandman volumes, though, and as far as I can judge, they're not bad. Good Omens is amusing. I'm not a MASSIVE FAN of Neil Gaiman's writing, but I appreciate it. If that makes sense?

I needed a layout that had decent custom comment pages, since the default DW comment pages are horrible. Glad you like it!

[hibernia1]

Yay job! Yay money!

Do they do free cocoa?

[teyla]

Yes. With marshmallows. You need to come over and have cocoa at my workplace coffee shop. Y/y?
