But this is the funniest game ever. My dungeon contained, amongst other things - walls daubed with crude images of Eddie Izzard, dusty bookshelves dedicated to Elijah Wood and plaques on the wall warning of the Delays (I feel my dungeon is located within the London Underground system, somehow...)
( Make your own dungeon! )

I finished HBP yesterday around 4.30pm. I love it; not going to post a spoilery review, just say I think it's the best since Prisoner of Azkaban which I love to bits and pieces. Have started re-reading it but it might get lent soon to my friend's sister. I seem to have become the Official Harry Potter Lender to that family, as said friend is currently reading my copy of Pris af Az, and his other sister has my OOTP. I should start charging.
Got a computer exam tomorrow, then I may be going to the zoo with the aforementioned Harry Potter-nicking friend, or may end up doing some other totally random thing... who knows!

My local Waterstones is opening at midnight tonight... assuming I'm brave enough to wander down there on my own in the dead of night, I will have HBP in less than 17 hours...
:D

Wow. I haven't posted in a century, and still, I get brownie points. Thank you, mystery brownie points givers!
And, erm.. hello everyone!

 | You scored as Severus Snape. Well you're a tricky one aren't you? Nobody quite has you figured out and you'd probably prefer it stayed that way. That said you are a formidable force by anyone's reckoning, but there is certainly more to you than a frosty exterior and a bitter temper.
Severus Snape | | 80% | Hermione Granger | | 75% | Remus Lupin | | 75% | Ron Weasley | | 65% | Harry Potter | | 65% | Albus Dumbledore | | 55% | Ginny Weasley | | 40% | Draco Malfoy | | 40% | Sirius Black | | 40% | Lord Voldemort | | 20% | </td>

Manics are touring in April. This is good.
I have just completed two weeks of a course called Creating Capacity. A kind of prelude to NVQ. Learned about all sorts of snoreworthy stuff like Data Protection and Health and Safety, and also some interesting things like Anatomy and Physiology, plus we get to do the European Computer Driving Licence, which will be useful to have. I have a portfolio of worksheets due on the 2nd of March. Then I start the NVQ in Care.
Apparently I am now entitled to a day off work every week to study, for the rest of the year. This is mind-bogglingly good.
Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow though. Apparently, the backlog of work waiting for us is huge. And I have some weird flu or something, and have been feeling feverish and dizzy for the past few days, but without any of the usual cold-type symptoms. God only knows what that is.
Still, at least life's interesting.

They're now selling Violet Crumbles in the UK! Except they're in a pink wrapper not purple and are call Golden Crumbles, for some reason.
What will be next? Peppermint Crisp? Cherry Ripe? Tim Tams?
It's all very exciting.

So I found out on Wednesday that the two people in my department who know what they're doing would be off work for the next two weeks to start NVQs. Leaving me (the lowest paid and least senior of the three of us) in charge of training two new members of staff and generally making sure everything doesn't fall apart.
A tad pissed off I was, it's fair to say.
Then, on Thursday, I found out that it had been arranged for me to go on the NVQ course as well! Meaning that it's Back To School for me for the next two weeks, and then one day a month for god knows how long. I can only imagine the many colours of chaos that might erupt in outpatients without the three of us for two weeks, but it's the bosses who have decided to send us all off at the same time, so perhaps they'll just have to knuckle down and do some of the actual work for a change.
So, rather suddenly, I find I am a Student again, doing NVQ level 3 in Care. Have absolutely no idea what to expect, but quite looking forward to it nonetheless. Anything that gets me out of work for two weeks can't be all that bad, after all..

I have discovered the secret of Christmas shopping! For weeks I have been faffing about the shops, looking at things, thinking 'hmmm, might get that for so-and-so, maybe I'll come back' til suddenly today I had that 'bloody hell it's Christmas in two days!!' moment and realised I had better get a move on. So in my lunch break I raced out, bought pressies for three friends, my aunt, my cousin and his wife all within half an hour. And I'm quite pleased with what I got too. Seems procrastination is useful for something after all!

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence |
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.
You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

Manics were wonderful at Wembley. It wasn't the greatest of crowds, but the band are on form and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Nicky's grin never left his face :) Can't wait for Manchester on Friday.
This weekend seems to have passed in a blur. Got ready to go to my friend's Christmas party, went to said party, recovered from said party, and suddenly, it's Monday morning again. Damn.
Got two more interviews tomorrow afternoon *sigh*
I have the ROTK EDVD, but no idea when I'm going to have time to watch it...

Didn't get the job. Not too bothered as I didn't really want it. But a little weary of going to interviews for jobs I could do in my sleep, and being turned down. But never mind.
Ice skating could better have been referred to as ice wobbling and ice falling down. Am very sore from the experience, but tempted to try it again as I was just beginning to get the hang of it by the end. And it would be fun to be able to swoosh around elegantly on skates like everyone else.
Manics tonight!! :D

T.S.Eliot: The Wasteland. You are a desperate cry
to God, moulded in intricate word-craftmanship.
Your language is controlled, but inside, you
feel empty and are not content with your life.
You see both the world and your inner self as a
waste land: nothing good can come out of it
anyway. People find you difficult to understand
but admire you nevertheless.
Which literature classic are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Hmmm, bit gloomy. But I love T.S. Eliot so I can't complain :)

Good lord, not looking forward to work today. Of the two other people who know what they're doing in my department, one is on leave, and the other texted me last night to say she had a cold and probably wouldn't be in. We have around 80 patients coming in this morning alone. Times like this, my only option is to adopt an approach to patients similar to Gimli's at Helm's Deep, when he and Aragorn face about 1534 Uruk-Hai on their own: "Come on! We can take'em!"
