anonymoose_au | The 13th Strikes Again... (Reply)

10:21pm: I'm so embarrassed...you know how last night I was lamenting that I wouldn't be able to watch Wimbledon because I had to get up in the morning? Fat lot of good that did! Somehow I fucked up my mobile settings, I meant to put it on silent mode except for alarms, but somehow that didn't work, so there was no alarm! When I woke up and looked at my watch I saw to my horror it read 9:30am! FUUUUUCK.

I quickly grabbed up my phone to confirm this and saw that I'd missed some calls, unsurprisingly, I was an hour late for work! And without me Mrs S can't get ready in the mornings! So I called her right away, relieved to find she wasn't upset - however, the other carer was all ready on her way so there goes a day of pay for me. Even more embarrassing since I didn't answer the phone Mrs S was worried something had happened to me. Then I called my parents since I'd missed a call from them too and Mrs S had called them when I didn't show, and they had also been worried, not that worried, Mum assured me, she was going to come over and see what was happening, but she was going to have her coffee first.

But, God damn, how do these things happen? And whyyyy? I know I've put my phone on "Priority" mode before and the alarm has gone off, why not this time? I checked the volume and it seemed fine, plus I had put my phone right next to my bed so even at a half volume it should have woken me. Life can be such a dick.

However, life can also be good! Because I still went to do my volunteering at the library today and I received some seriously exciting news, apparently the Inter-Library Co-ordinator had been speaking with a higher up and they're going to put me on the Casual Library Assistant Pool at the Warringah Libraries too!

Ohmergerd! I could hardly believe it! What amazing luck! Go me! I didn't even have to apply! Although I've been volunteering for a year so how's that for a trial! :OP

I did tell the Home Library Co-ordinator and the Inter-Library Co-ordinator my tale of woe and I've been advised to set a back up alarm, so I have using one of my old mobiles. Although, the Home Library Co-ordinator feels something that is on an old-fashion battery is better, but here's hoping the mobile phone option will work. Seeing, I'm pretty sure those old-timey wind-up alarm clock tick loudly, and I can't abide by ticking clocks.

After volunteering I rang Mum to tell her my exciting news, and it turned out that she and Dad were in Dee Why so we met up for a bit, although it was too late for lunch so all I just helped them with making a few purchases - I had to go to the newsagency to buy an A3 sleeve and also Lincraft for those seam ripper things - two of them, one for Mum and one for M. I all ready have one, but when I went to Lincraft I discovered there's green handled ones! So I'm going to keep that one and give Mum mine. Which was supposed to happen on Sunday - there's a get together with the grandparents and Great-Aunt Mary.

But as it turned out...I had to make an unexpected drive to my parents house to pick up some wine for the landlord's, which was a bit annoying, hmpf! And I couldn't even stay to have half a cupcake, since I didn't park in a designated spot, I was in front of the next-door neighbour's garage (although I think she's away, that sort of thing doesn't fly).

And the final stroke of bad luck wasn't mine, it was Jonno's on Million Dollar Minute, he was back to play for $200,0000, but alas...was beaten! What a shame! He still got $75,000 so nothing to spit at, but I liked him and was hoping he'd go all the way.

Anyway, I better wrap this up as bed is definitely calling, my mobiles better not let me down! }:O/
