The tick tock of the (body) clock

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:11 am by GaZ

Blargh… body clocks are crap! Now I can’t help waking up at 7am, even on a Saturday after a night out. gah!

Anyway… so Hanne had a couple of interviews this week for sales positions, but she didn’t get the jobs :-( From what she told me the interviewers were real wankers anyway, so I’d say she’s better off without those jobs. Hopefully she’ll add her side of the story soon.

The “Birmingham Eye” is back for its annual visit, set up just around the corner from Brindley Place (where I work), in Centenary square. They’ve corrected the audio problems from last year (”… and on your left you can see ze Eiffel tower!”) but when Hanne and I went on Thursday the speakers weren’t working anyway. Bleh. We forgot our cameras, but I had my phone, so i’ve uploaded a few pictures from that.

Yesterday I received my first pay check! woohoo!! So last night we went out for tapas and wine at La Tasca, followed by a few drinks in one of the (at least) SEVEN Wetherspoons in our area… a new one seems to pop up every week! They’re getting almost as bad as the coffee places around the Bullring.

There are no plans for the rest of this weekend, so I guess we’ll just take it easy and vegitate in front of the gogglebox. Have a good one, y’all.

PS Oh yeah… I recorded Dave on the radio last week. The recording is split into two parts:

  1. The introduction followed by Dave playing guitar with his friend, Elise, dancing (yes, dancing on the radio)

    2. and

  2. Dave speaking of his experience playing appalachian music

    LOL! I woke up early too at 7AM!! This work malarkey is nuts.
    Those mp3’s made me chuckle ;) Please congratulate your bro about the radio. I am now a converted appalachian fan!

    My body click has a nice snooze feature to it. It’s nice to have that when you’re the boss and out of uni. Not as if uni kept me from body snoozing anyway.

    My favourite part of the MP3s: the clapping. Also, was that someone’s cell phone vibrating occasionally on the table or was that a cow in the background? Congrats to Dave.
