More about work and even more about BSG
Mar. 23rd, 2005 04:49 pmI've just noticed something rather interesting. According to my website referral stats, someone did a Yahoo search for the phrase "she walks in sunlight and sleeps where shadow never falls." I don't know the significance of that, or even if there is any, but I went to see what came up when you search for it. The link to my own site is to Love Is Not Love, which apparently contains all those words, but also linked as a search result on that first page is Leigh's M*A*S*H fic Never Ask Why Build. Weird, but interesting.
A slight peeve while I'm here - I don't like it when real-life people come up to me and complain they don't understand my website, or assume I write porn. There was a rumour going round a year ago that I review porn, (huh?), but I couldn't ever be bothered to explain. I don't write in here nor maintain the fic website for their benefit. I'm more and more grateful that I'm leaving school in less than two months. I can stay in touch with the cool people and happily lose touch with the idiots.
Anyway, random rant over - I'm mostly happy and haven't been updating because not much is going on. I've been working most days this week, and Tony, bless him, decided to give me all the money at once, along with the money for the days I'm not working in April. I hate depositing money as a general thing, but even I can see that carrying around a hundred quid in cash is unnecessary. That said, I decided to organise the till this morning and ended up carrying more than that across the village to get coins. The bank know me, thankfully, and didn't bat an eyelid when I asked for a tenner in tuppence pieces.
While all this was going on, Tony stopped mid-sentence and asked, "You are still enjoying it, right?" in the sort of voice that indicates he really wants to know and really wants the answer to be yes.
Which it was; I do love my job. I love the way I wander around shelving books and talking to people, messing about with the computer and the phone, talking to wholesalers, and drinking coffee, and they pay me for it. I'm particularly amused by the elderly ladies who call in and say they can't remember who served them, "but it was a very young girl." He can rest assured that I'm not quitting any time soon.
In other news, Battlestar Galactica is the best thing in the universe. ( More thoughts, up to 1.08 - Flesh and Bone )
