Music For Your Tape Recorder

How does one reconcile the fact that I only bought 3 CDs this year, and yet managed to hear all the below listed? *cough*

Some Are Workers, Some Are Not

Container Terminal (Cropped), Prij, 12/10/06

Aside from the many unfinished drafts I haven't finished, I was planning to get back into writing this month. To cut a long story short, in the words of Tony Hadley; I had to get a j*b. That was what I was going to write about on Tuesday, but put it off for a day. The roller-coaster is detailed herein:

On the Friday 8th I had to go to the Amazon.co.uk warehouse and apply for a temp job running through December. I think I overdressed for that. Having been accepted, I started on the 10th at 0600 (to 1400) - we were assured newbs are never normally trained on the that shift. We were assigned roles after a presentation, based on our performances in the 5 tests on the previous Friday. I was an 'RF Picker' - we carry handheld scanners, go round the floor collecting requested items, putting them on the library carts and returning them to Collate where the order slips are handed-out. It's considered better than packing, since you get to move around.
