Cow Parade!!

I'm a little annoyed at how close Emma was... Grump! But yes, I stepped off the train to discover that Edinburgh is currently hosting Cow Parade 2006. That will keep me occupied for the first few days of unemployment!!

I now have somewhere to live. It's very cool and I'm VERY excited! Not met the 2 boys (Alex and Patrick) that I will be living with, so hopefully they won't be cross that Cat has said I can come without meeting them. But spoke to Alex on the phone last week, and he seems cool. There's lots of random things around the flat that make me feel like I'll be just fine! And it's near lots of cool one off shops. Better not spend too much money! But you never know - I might be able to get round to selling some cards...

Didn't get yesterday's job, but never mind. Was a bit put off whilst waiting for the interview, as it seems to be partly privately funded, so seemed like there was some wasting of money going on... Anyway, another interview next week, and the lady who is not going to be my boss now tried to recruit me to the Edinburgh G&S Society, so I might go!

I've never stayed in a hostel before. It was odd. Quite homely, but at the same time I didn't feel at home - it felt like someone else's home and I didn't know which bits I was allowed in. Never mind - it did it's purpose. I spent most of the weekend walking around in the rain. Lots and lots and lots of miles, I reckon.

Arrrrgghh! The drilling has started again! They're doing something on the roof at work. Today it appears they are drilling directly above my head. We did a little test, and I can't hear banging on the desk above the noise of the drill. It is very very loud! And I'm sure against health and safety guidelines about how much exposure to noise you are allowed. Never mind trying to answer the phone or talk to a colleague above it. GRUMP!

I think I'm going to go for lunch before I go crazy.
