Serenity² - A new day is dawning, On a random Tuesday morning by SerenityPunk

Rumour has it we're actually getting pay rises in October (at the loss of a bonus, natch!), which should come in mighty handy with all the money I'll be spending at Serenity 2!

I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

yeah, i know, at least there is cover here for people who can't pay and they will make you better even if you are uninsured so it could be worse. Sorry for moaning!

Hilary's reserving the whoop whoop until she actually opens her payslip. Of course most firms would (should?) actually write to you confirming the change but not here. Nope, it literally will be a case of going "Hmmm, that looks different to last month."

unfortunately, most companies suck and never tell you when you get a payrise that way the evil corporate money-grabbing whores (well, at least local councils) can keep it and only the obsessively cynical ones like me will notice. Then there are the evil defence companies that deliberately refuse to upgrade peoples hourly overttime rate when pay-rises have been increased just to save a few bob - i left the company that did that coz i was working in personnel and didn't want the blame when it ended up in court.

I could go on but all employers are evil so it gets boring - oh dear, i am in ranty mood today, must go out...

cold pizza is awful - everyone wash their mouth out with soap and water

speaking of food a friend is coming for dinner so must think about what to cobble together from my kitchen. I reckon some frozen meet with tomatoes, marmalade and chilli flakes, nice and easy cheaper than sausages and mash and i don't have to go out and buy anything

cold pizza - yucky!

see you tomorrow

Now I'm craving cold pizza!

Sometimes, when I go to one of those pizza places that sell it by the slice, I ask them not to reheat it for me so I can eat it cold. So very good.

I like most Italian foods cold: lasagna, calzones and manicotti especially. Mmm mmm mm mmm mmmm

Yeah, methinks there's something about when the sauce has settled in a bit; cold or no, I often prefer Italian stuff after it's a day old or so. Like a fine wine, good sauce improves with age.

We had "homemade" pizza night before last. I put it in quotes 'cause we used frozen crust. Half with broccoli for me & Anne, half with pepperoni for the Mutant Teenage Boy. Very fast and easy to fix, and very yum.

Let's not forget the base ingredient of pizza toppings are a fruit and some milk that's been thoroughly invaded by bacteria.

*dashes in*

People should get whatever medical stuff they need. Whatever some people and countries (the US, amongst others) might think, medical care ain't a goddam business; not having it if you can't afford it or because your 'pre-existing medical conditions' make you a bad investment is about the wrongest thing you can get.

"What, you're ill already? Sorry, we can't give medical cover to people who are already ill. You have to be perfectly healthy for us to give you that. I mean, you're going cost us money! Can't have you lowering our profits!"

Bollocks.

Aw, Carol. Sorry my dear. Why are you hating being a woman today? There are lots of great things about being a woman.

Chocolate is good for us.

We can have powerful boobs. If men have boobs they just look fat.

Umm..we can wear makeup without looking like a reject from the 80's rock scene.

We don't have to deal with..um..extra appendages.

We can multitask. Men can only do one thing at a time. And can only think about one thing at a time. And it's usually only that one thing.

We have hips, which are very useful for carrying kids or resting laundry baskets on.

Girl power is really in right now.

What else?

After a long, looong, absence Casualty is back! Just in time for the hypersctivity and joyousness in the build up to S2! Did any one even notice I'd gone? No! I don't blame ya!

So whats going on here then? Chocday? Yes I approve. Everyone trying to convince TWG to move over here? Yes I approve of that too!

I can not however tell you what day it is, what time it is or occasionally what my own name is, having worked over 60 hours in the past 6 days. What is that about? Only another three days to go. Aaahhhh!

Anyway I had a question. Has everyone recieved their tickets yet? Because I moved house about a month ago and in the commotion I forget I'd asked my tickets to be delievered to my old address! Whoops. I'm wondering if I should ring up Starfury or just go round to my old house and see if the new people have saved my post for me. What are the chances huh?

I think I'm off to bed! I'm working another 10 hours tomoro! Oh boy!
