OH GOD IT IS SO HOT WHY IS IT SO HOT THE AIR IS REALLY HUMID AND I AM ALWAYS HOT AND STICKY AND SWEATY IT IS NOT NICE I WISH THIS REALLY HOT WEATHER WOULD GO AWAY OH GOD

Pretty much sums up my feelings on the weather we’ve been having up here. I like it when it’s hot. But not too hot.

Also, I’m 19 next Friday. Woo.

I went into my soon-to-be place of work today. Turns out the place I got is covering for someone who’s going to be on maternity leave, so if she chooses to come back once she’s had the baby, I’m probably only going to be working here for about nine months.

I’m going to be working 16 hours a week, which isn’t bad. Means I’ll be raking in about £375 (before tax unfortunately) a month. Which ain’t bad. Ain’t bad at all. Unfortunately, one of my shifts is going to be on a Thursday, 6-10pm. As I have college on Thursdays, it may be cutting it a bit short sometimes, what with college perhaps running past the 4 o’ clock finishing time, and then the GODAWFUL bus service.

I hate buses so fucking much. More often than not, they’re late, and if not, they leave earlier than they’re scheduled to.

There’s no winning, goddammit!

Hopefully.

I feel that the interview I had today went pretty well. It’s for the Co-Op (small supermarkety-type thing, as mentioned in previous post) as a Customer Service Assistant. I scored high on the questionnaire thing, and the guy who was interviewing me seemed pleased with my answers to his questions, even despite the fact I have pretty much no real work experience.

The pay is £5.85 an hour, which is pretty good - £1.08 higher than the minimum wage for someone my age. I’d be earning the same as my mum, assuming I got the job.

He said he’d phone my on Monday evening to let me known whether or not I was successful. So… two days of anxious waiting.

I’m also having a bit of trouble with some college homework. I’m not going to delve too much into it, but I basically need to figure out how to create an array of unique randomly generated numbers (between 1 and 40) in Java. We’ve been taught very little about actually using the language, so I’m having some difficulty with this, and any help would be great. If it helps (which I doubt), I’m using Maths.random() to generate the random numbers. Hell, even if you know how to do this in similar languages might help, since I might be able to work it out from that.

Oh and also… it’s been snowing. Gah. I foresee a lot of standing around, waiting for buses in the near future. Our bus services are an atrocity. I cant remember the last time I got on a bus that was on time.

On Thursday, I got out of collge an hour early. Yay. So I headed down to the bus station and just as I entered, the bus I needed to get on pulled away. Annoying yes, but couldn’t really be helped. The next one in about 20 minutes, so I went to Woolworths to kill some time. I left 5 minutes early to go and get the bus, which was due at 15:15. As I was walking down the road to the bus station, at 15:08, the bus was leaving.

WTF?

I need to learn to drive. Out of the last four times I’ve been to college, I’ve been late three of those, due to late buses. Grr.
