So... Got a new computer, finally. £400 lighter as a result, seriously getting bankrupt and having to take on more shifts at the pub as a result. This can only be described as knackering. It's weird, never had a job that seems to have taken over my life so completely, uni seems like a sideline. Last night Aidan double booked one of the function rooms,as a result a disco took place in the loading bay, meaning that 7 of us had to cope with 4 rammed bars. Aidan made the situation worse by sacking sam for not being able to come in, and screaming at us about the importance of working hard when understaffed (as if we didnt know) then spent the whole night sat on his arse watching the football and not even deigning to pick up the empty glasses piling up around him. This morning (ok...afternoon) I feel like I'm on a comedown from drugs. Have two major essays to get done for the 22nd and 29th respectively but just dont have the energy to get started.
Complaining over, at least the pub can be a fun job some of the time, there's nothing quite like witnessing drunken kareoke when your the only people left sober to truly appreciate the wonderfulness of middle aged men who TRULY believe that for one night only, they ARE Axl Rose, Frank Sinatra and Sid Vicious rolled into one. We had some wonderful air guitar moments.
I'm currently trying to give up alcohol for a month, this following last monday night which was messy to say the least. I don't think i have a problem in that i dont NEED to drink every day or anything, it's more like when i start drinking i can't seem to stop, my friends have said that i look like im on a mission to kill myself sometimes. So I'm taking it easy, I don't like myself when i get like that.
anyway... off to sleep a bit more before work tonight. Joy. At least there are only two functions tonight.

Long time no write.
My computer has died blocking my access to online research, and possibly losing me three years worth of photos and all my music. Not a happy bunny.
Settling back into uni, Loan has come through, plus pay cheque for the work i did at chambers. Desperately trying to stay out of my overdraft. To help this just got a job at a pub in the city. Best job interview ever. I dread interviews where they ask you 'meaningful questions' such as 'what could you bring to the team?' If it was a career job i'd understand, but when im applying for a two shift a week shop job, the question becomes hard to answer beyond 'um.. i work hard? for money?'
But this interview went like this;

'you dont have a criminal record?'
'no.'
'You've never been fired?'
'no'
'Any bar experience?'
'A little.'
'And you know dave and amy'
'yeah'
'you've got the job'

Yay.
Start work tonight, throwing me in at the deep end a little, it being a friday night in the city and all, and maybe i shouldnt have drunk so much last night, but oh well.
Other than that, spending six hours a week discussing the practicalities of moral theories in relation to day to day ethical decisions and six hours discussing phenomenology isnt all that bad, other time is spent at the gym or playing squash, sitting with bot amy pete and tom watching weird horror movies, playing the Wii with josh and chris or going to gigs with Liv. 
Could be alot worse.
