As requested: a typical day or two

I'm going to do something strange, I'm going to mix two days up a bit.

Day 1
I when to bed early last night after we watched the latest episode of Lost, which may or may not have been a factor in me getting up on time this morning. I was at was at the tube station by 7:31 am, and Hans happened to be waiting for the overland train already. I jumped on the same train so we could chat for about 90 seconds, then I switched at Queens Park for the Bakerloo line. The one benefit to living far out is it's easy to get a seat. Around 8 stops or so, then I switch to the Jubilee line at Baker street. It's easy, 'cus both Southbound lines run next to each other. I've timed it as a 18 second walk from train to train. The down side is that I normally don't get a seat on the Jubilee. I was luck today, and I grabbed one two stops later! From that point it's about 35 mins till I get to Westham station, where I change to either the District Line, or the Hammersmith and City line for a one stopper to Palistow. The bus just across the road as I came out of the station, so I raced on, and I got a seat on the top deck 'cus a student recognized me.

School wise the workload was not too bad, most of the classes took care of themselves and I had a really good curry for lunch from the school canteen. I was filling in a bit for the Video tech, as he had a doctors appointment. I had to leave late 'cus of it, but I stopped at Bayswater, and picked up Sherma's (Like a Kebab, only better) for Shannon and Warren since I was going to be late anyway.

Day 2

The commute sucked! The Bakerloo line was late, o seat on the Jubilee line, and the bus was too packed to sit down as well. I forgot my ID card for work, the first time so far, but it's still a pain in the ass. I'm the only tech working today, so I am doing two jobs at once. Booking both video and still cameras for students on ten different courses while keeping one eye on the six FCP video editing bays. I am also trouble shooting / instructing on a first year video project, and first years need lots of help. Fun. Oh ya, and I've been asked to get two new quotes for upgrading most of our media lab computers.

on the bright side though, I just confirmed that we got the flat we wanted in East London, so no more one hour and twenty minute commutes.

After I post this I am going...Oh wait, just to add to my fun I just had to brush off some TV people trying to get students in to film a show. The collage is kind of famous for the fact that it's in the most ethnically diverse part of England. Anyway, I must not forget to fill out my time sheet...
