Oi Got A Bit Ov Brain Lodged In Moi 'Ed!

Headache again today, only the third day in a row now. Bloody beer.

This morning I received a piece of paper to say that a parcel could not be delivered to me. I rang the depot thinking it was the book I sent to my sister had not been delivered, as there was a fee to pay and I wasn't expecting any parcels. Turns out it's from Nottingham, and it's a reused envelope (immediately I knew it was from the parents). Turns out the Uni sent something to me in Nottingham despite knowing my term-time address, knowing I'm going to be there until September, knowing I work for the Uni full time, knowing I will be working here full time until the end of August, and knowing my address at work. My parents forwarded it on using a single second class stamp, genius. I now have to go to the depot to collect the damn thing and pay £1.14 for it. All this for a parcel that could have been sent to me through the internal mail system for free (or near enough).

Last night was the pub-quiz, which I think we came 5th in. Wasn't too bad an evening, but really all I wanted to do was be at home curled up asleep. Really didn't feel up to it all last night. The weather was unbelievable last night. When I got in the car this morning it was thick with salt, I couldn't see out of any of the windows. I washed the windscreen with the jets but had to wipe the side-windows down with a cloth. I really need to find somewhere better to park the car.

Anyhow, better get on. Stuff to do.
