Ba-da-ba-ba-baa, Im Leaving it!

yup, thats right. i only have 5 more shifts until i go to Stafford, and then (hopefully) i wont be grill monkeying until i come back to Pompey in december! if i can find a McDs in Stoke that isnt a franchise i will apply there, but i will also be applying at various other places that will be more suited to a geek like me (eg, Blockbuster or a DVD shop or something. im hoping for a collectable shop but not holding my breath)

oh, and yes i did say Stoke, hence the first reason why i was pissed off (until i read Maddies wonderful blog. go have a look.)
i got my Halls of Residence offer yesterday. my halls are at the Stoke campus. i am studying at the Stafford campus. this means that i will have to get up fucking early and catch a bus fuck knows how far to get to uni.

the only reason i didnt get a place at the Stafford halls is because i didnt return my halls application form before 30th july. and the reason i didnt return it? BECAUSE THEY DIDNT FUCKING SEND ME ONE TO RETURN!
Mum is not happy. shes going to phone them up and complain tomorrow. shes very good at complaining about things. we got £50 worth of Mars Bar vouchers just because they had put the tray of chocolate in the advent calendar upside down so you couldnt get to half of it when you opened the little doors.

and the other reason i was pissed off? last night i had a close at work, which i dont really mind, and we didnt finish til 2, which doesnt usually bother me that much, as long as Hogie, Maddie or Deppy are still awake to text me and make me happy. However, Colin is now 18, so can work after midnight. i had to put up with him acting as if he is the only person in the building with a brain cell and treating me as if i have the IQ of a retarded ant for a whole extra 3 hours. and because im more tired on closes than usual, it takes less effort to get me annoyed. if we'd been there any longer he would have died. it didnt really help that Jim was there too. hes a bit of a twat.

anyhoo, im looking forward to next saturdays close. its my last shift before uni, its Donnas close so she wont be working us too hard and get on really well with all the other closers (Leo is there, but hes been 'accidentally' touching my arse less recently so he might be alright). im planning on putting together a CD for the party/possibly BBQ im having for my friends on weds (very random mix: Faithless - We Come 1 to Europe - The Final Countdown to Benny Hill - Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)) so i may take that in to play on the close too.

today is my last shift with the lovely Jennifer as she has all next week off. Jen is really annoying. She acts like she likes me (the other day i was making up presets for the new deli sandwiches and she came over to help me while she was on her break, several times i've looked up and seen her quickly looking somewhere else. and she has said "i love you, matt. youre so sweet" at least twice) and she is very attractive but she has a boyfriend, which is the annoying part.
the other day i was getting changed out of my uniform at the end of my shift in the crew room because someone else was in the changing room. Jen walked in at the exact same time i took my trousers off, saying "ooh, hello". once id got my jeans on i told her about going to uni and she was very "ooh, wow, thats great, good luck, etc". im going to miss her at uni, but never mind i'll be back in 3 months...
