Dear supervisors, It would be really nice if someone had actually told me, BEFORE I started doing it the way it’s always done, that this script had to be dealt with a different way. Thanks to nobody telling me anything YET AGAIN, I’ve now got to go back and fix up everything I’ve done on this shift so far. In future, please try not to suck so hard at actually giving instructions...

Christmas
This was the nicest Christmas Day I’ve had since 2005. Red and I got up early, exchanged gifts (he said my gift to him was the best and most thoughtful gift he’s ever gotten), then went to his parents’ place for breakfast. After exchanging presents and stuffing our faces with croissants, we came home and he got ready while I got together all the stuff to take to my uncle’s...

I finally go for my full licence today and I’m kind of freaking out about it. Why do we have to do the stupid touchscreen test? It’s annoying and the touchscreens down here have been bashed one too many times so sometimes it doesn’t register your answer. I know I’ve done enough driving to pass this test by knowledge alone, and I’ve never crashed into anything so...

I am going to be so cranky with lack of sleep by Friday. Today, I was meant to sleep in but Red went to do some casual work on a building site, which had him leaving before 7. So I went to see my grandparents, then hit up Miranda to see what I could spend my birthday/Christmas money on. I FOUND NOTHING IN THREE HOURS OF WALKING. Tomorrow, he has to leave the house at the ungodly hour of 5am so...

They're my parents. I miss them. →
“To anyone who hasn’t lost their parents, here’s some news: you never get over it. I’m not trying to startle you. It’s a fact. You get through it, yes, and you’ll probably get used to it, but you don’t get over it. A piece of your life jigsaw has been removed and, however much you rearrange the other pieces, they never quite fit in the same way again. ...

On feeling fine immediately after being upset
Red: I can’t bounce back like that. I don’t know how you do it.
Me: I’ve had 5 years to perfect it.

Working the late shift...
So here I am, working the night shift. I got to sleep in this morning, then go to breakfast and the gym with Red, and then just lazed around at home until I was due to leave at 2pm. I was officially meant to start at 3:15pm (we get a 15 min later start time on Wednesdays) but I got here at 2:35pm. The best thing about arriving early is being able to go home early. Anyway, the usual night shift...
