VC week
... for all non-UTS, that's Vice-Chancellor's Week. And we have a faculty non-teaching week as well, because we're Arts students and we work soooo hard. Holllllidayyyys!
I'm working a LOT, and trying to do uni work. I just need some motivation to get started on the assignments.
Was at the train station the other day, and this man was walking on the wrong side of the yellow line.
WOMAN (over loudspeaker): Keep behind the yellow line.
Man continues oblivious, leans over, and spits onto the tracks.
WOMAN: That's right, spit over the tracks.
(Five seconds later)
WOMAN: They invented a thing called tissues, just so you know.
I DESPISE the overly happy loudspeaker man at Cityrail. Sydneysiders just ain't used to it. We're more used to grumpy bus drivers, and train doors that threaten to close on us.
Donated blood yesterday with Leana! Got quite queasy (like last time), but it was alright in the end. I'm ok with the needles now, there's something else that freaks me out more (but I won't blog it, I shouldn't turn people off giving blood!) Do it. Good for the soul.
On Wed, Lam set Keya and I the challenge of incorporating the words "cherry" and "flower" into our discussions in Doco Study tutorial. Double snaps for Keya, because she did both, and the week's topic was a MINING DOCUMENTARY. Me? I'm pathetic and don't contribute.
At work, I've been scrabbling for shifts so I get paid throughout my holidays. I'm off for 7 weeks (140 hours), and guesstimating I'll have 60 hours of annual leave by the time I leave. Which means I need to accrue another 80 hours of time off in lieu (TOIL).
So, first week of holidays I'm working 38 hours, and then the second week I'm working 35 (which means by the end of the two weeks I'll have accrued (in total, I've been doing this for a while) approx 57 hours). Uh-huh, that's right. Holidays are not going to be holidays. Plus my screening and so many 21sts! Busy, busy.
