Saving

Last night I watched the latest episode of The Wire, which was on really late last night, for some reason. They're on season three at the moment (out of the five that were made) and it is definitely turning out to be pretty good.

Today was another quiet day at work, and there were more problems with the computer systems. Chris lent me a DVD of Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, a documentary film about the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and founder of Gonzo Journalism.

I'm trying to save money at the moment for the Canada move, which is always easier said than done, but it will definitely be worth it in the end, so I've stopped buying as many movie magazines and cut down on going to the pub.

Day at Work

It has been another fairly quiet day today. It was really bright and sunny today, and surprisingly warm as well. There was hardly anyone in the office today, which is rarely full these days anyway since the reorganisation a month ago when they shifted people to different rooms, some rooms are almost in danger of overcrowding, while others are practically deserted. I have a theory that there are people who paid to think up new ideas at work, and they occasionally start panicking and so they think up pointless reorganisations and schemes to remind people that they actually do exist, and so that they won't get fired. I don't really mind though, because I can just sit and listen to my iPod (today I was listening to Leonard Cohen, Sarah McLachlan, Lucinda Williams, Trisha Yearwood, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tom Waits, Cowboy Junkies, Sixpence None the Richer and most of the Juno soundtrack).

I was completely short of change for the vending machines, I usually have several cups of coffee and chocolate bars throughout the day for nutrition (and to keep me awake), so I had a small jug of milk and a cup of water instead of the vaguely-coffee-flavoured stuff that looks like dirty water from the vending machine. I also bought a copy of The List, an events listing magazine, on my way home in order to get some change for tomorrow.

When I got back home I had a microwaved spaghetti bolognese pre-packaged meal, which was okay.
