klenaSo my journaling fail cannot be qualified within one blog, but sadly all I can do is apologise. When I now get time to check LJ and the like, I read the entries (or at least, the entries that interest me, sorry random communities) and then am too tired to write anything.
Currently, I am in the middle of my second 15 hour shift at the agency. Yesterday 9.30am to 12am (or 12.30 if I'm honest) and then today 9.30 until midnight. Our other evening secretary is off on holiday for two weeks for her sister's wedding which left shifts to be covered. So between myself and the boss, we're splitting the 8 shifts she's not going to be here for. That also means 3 extra 15 hour days and a 12 hour Sunday shift.
The weather today means that it's been really really quiet all day. I have taken 15 calls today since 9.30am. But I'm actually okay with that because I feel really drained this evening. Whether it is the weather or the nights darkening or the fact that I worked 15 hours last night and didn't get to sleep until 2 is all to be seen.
I will get my backside into gear after I come back from my break (and maybe have a nap on it) as I'll have the entire evening to get through as well. That is my plan.
All in all, despite the stress and long hours, I'm grateful. It's hell sometimes and draining, but the job puts money on the table for the important things like rent and food. And really, that's the most important thing. It's awful, but sometimes I forget that.
I should really post a blog with a few pictures from when Dave and I were back in N.Ireland last week. That was really lovely.
In more exciting news I'm going to move in with Dave. Not in June, like I imagined, but possibly next week. His housemate Timmy moved out Monday as I was due to pay the rent on the room in a house I have spent a grand total of 4 hours in since I moved in at the end of August. So Dave suggested I move in with him and Ant as I live there anyway because of how close it is to work.
After checking it was okay with Ant and Laura (Ant's girlfriend who is due to move in December), we agreed on it yesterday afternoon. I've emailed my landlord (who I hadn't given my contract back to, due to various circumstances) about it today and I'm just awaiting a response. I don't foresee there being an issue as I haven't signed any real contract and I've offered to pay 2 weeks rent in October, regardless of whether I'm there or not.
That sounds fair, right?
But it's all quite exciting! Dave and I have been discussing moving in together a lot recently and whilst we still want our own place, this makes so much sense.
1. I live there anyway, just in one box at the moment
2. I never see that house at all
3. It's more cost-effective for both of us and for Ant
4. It stops me living out of a box and having to schedule time to go up to the other place for clothes/books/stuff
Exciting times! There's a lot still to be sorted, but we're going to get it resolved as soon as I have an evening free, probably Friday and move me as soon as we can :)
Which reminds me!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rogue_dreams, that lovely gentleman of yours owns a motor vehicle, does he not? Would he mind helping me move? I'll pay for the pleasure!

Work also pays for purchasing delicious meals and comics. :)

And I said it was good to save money....But since you ARE saving money, you can get a sweet new computer, if you haven't already, when the savings are built up enough to be stable. And it won't even have to be a "this is just what I can afford" model...you can get one that is the envy of all! :3
(Hey, computers are practically a necessity rather than a luxury these days--it's a RESPONSIBLE buy! ;)
