The Hanged Man
Aug. 27th, 2005 09:33 pmIf I had used my pack of Tarot cards a few weeks ago this is what I would have got.
My entire world has been flipped on it's head, new job (fun, but knackering), uni and finding a room to let on the other side of the UK. The last is proving the trickiest. I've found a pretty good place, but the guy's only letting me get it if I visit him first, and the soonest would be Tuesday morning 10am.
1. The guy lives in Oxford, to get there I'd have to get up at the arse-crack of dawn.
2. I have work that day.
3. I'm already in my bosses bad books for requesting the next week off, he only agreed if I doubled my payload. Oh well, I'd been doing twice as much anyway, but cutting another day off would be a great way to get transferred to the centaur liasion office.
Anyway. There's a chance this landlord will get a new house and re-do that for potential students, so all is not lost, but unles I can somehow convince my data collection team a trip to Oxford is a good idea I have no idea how I'm going to meet him.
Must ask Dad.
Gods, I'm so exhausted, I haven't had a decent night's sleep all week, and I've found it really hard to get anything done where Crepuscule is concerned. Writing while half-awake is not a good idea, and not only because of the potential spelling mistakes! I'll have tomorrow off thank the stars, I had to go check out the potential rooms today and only just came back. Plus, long weekend, yay!
Then I'll have a (paid) week off to cruise up the Thames with mother, step-dad and (hopefully) best friend.
Well, this week's watchword has been 'perceverence', which I think I spelt wrong, so I shouldn't worry quite yet.
Some things, however, don't change. Here's chapter five of Crepuscule.
