Seriously, I wish I was allowed to make my own decisions. If I say something's fine, then it's fine. Please don't keep ignoring me and doing what you think is best. It pisses me off, and that's not something you want to do, especially when it's job related.

So I have these shoes, yeah? They've got this little, tiny hole in the front of them. Well, I say tiny, it's actually pretty big, but you'd never notice it, unless you went looking for it. Mum, being Mum, went looking for it. I don't actually know what she was doing to my shoes (I assume she was cleaning them, because there was this awful stink when she walked in, and it wasn't a "Hi, I smoke 20 a day, maybe" stink either), but she came waltzing in and was like "Look!"
"Erm, yeah. It's been there ages."
"Well, you could've told me. You'll have to buy some new ones."

Wait, hang on. Those cost me £30, and it's a small hole. Nothing major. Besides, when you're serving people in a shop, they're unlikely to be staring at your feet. I wore the same pair to my interview, and they didn't seem to care too much, Still, Mum's Mum. She'll do what she wants, regardless of what you tell her. That's why I've got a new pair of grey trousers, when I was gonna wear a black pair. I'm surprised she didn't go and buy me some similar looking shirts, because I only have 3. If there was a roll eyes icon on MindSay, this would be the point where I'd use it. It's ridiculous. I shouldn't be arsing about like this, I should be looking forward to starting a new job. Yet, here I am, worrying that now I won't be making the right impression, and that I'll be seen as some sort of nuisance. Cheers Mum, you really know how to wreck a mood. Hope to high heaven I move out within the next year, because I want to feel like, when I make a decision, it won't be overturned.

OK, that's enough of that. However, I'm gonna keep moaning because I've been on the go for most of the afternoon and evening, despite having this day planned as being a nice relaxing day before my first day at Specsavers. That plan was ruined yesterday by Darren and Dad.

Question: How do you fix a computer that isn't broken?
Answer: I don't fucking know, but I was expected to do it.

As you'd expect, I couldn't fix it (Insert fake look of shock here). Turns out they thought the RAM was lower than it should've been, but it wasn't. It was exactly the same. It took them 3 hours to figure it out, whereas it took me 15 minutes. Wasn't even worth the hassle. So, what I did was to advise Darren to get some more RAM, and told him how to install it. After all, I'm not a hardware person, so I wouldn't be able to do it. That was ignored, and now I'm gonna have to struggle through a memory card installation at some point in the future. It's not that hard to do, so it's not gonna take me long, but it's another instance of me being ignored. I may as well be deaf, dumb and fucking blind. But, hey, at least I'm considered to be deaf, dumb, intelligent and fucking blind. Bit of a contradiction, sure, but nevermind.

As a result of all this arsing about, I've not actually done much in way of relaxing. I think I'm gonna take next weekend off. If anybody wants anything from me, tough shit. Next weekend's long overdue Me time.

Oh, Mena called me today ^_^ Probably my only bit of sunshine today. Was nice to speak to her, even if she did sound a bit croaky from too much shouting in clubs. Didn't get to say a lot, as she'd put credit in the payphone for 10 minutes worth, but ah well, was still the best 10 minutes of my life since she left on Tuesday. Getting ever closer to the halfway point of her holiday. We talked briefly about a couple of days on her holiday, and some things that have happened in my life, although to be honest she had the more interesting stories to tell. I don't think I'll ever hear a time where the words "I love you too" are the best four words you've heard in a long time. Maybe at a wedding, but there's plenty of time to go before then. I think.

K, I'll leave this blog on a high note. I'm not sure how I'm gonna fit it in, but LSTV Episode VII is out tomorrow, and then I'll write something down for Day 6 of Mena's holiday here. Not sure yet. We'll see.

Have fun.
