Puts the AMEN into [b]AM[/b]AZ[b]E[/b]'[b]N[/b]!!!!

It sounds like the beginning of some kind of new post-apocalyptical thriller. A hearty band of passengers board a train from Birmingham New Street at 22:15 and leave the station heading for Nottingham ways however the "Next station" sign never changes from Birmingham New street then after about 20 minutes there is an almight crash, the train begins to slow and eventual grinds to a halt.

The staff dash around referring cryptically to an 'incident' and inform the passengers that they don't know how long it will take to get going again.
The passengers laugh and joke about their impending 'deaths' believing it will never come... little do they know... EEEP!! :(

Yeah we're stranded. :(

It's amazing how work life after Clientlogic can be a real eye opener. I've been at Océ/Rolls-Royce since March and recently got a Christmas bonus of £250 regardless of the fact I haven't even been there a full year. I also got a pay rise of 2.6percent which was the maximum rise awarded to anyone.

Granted that's only and extra £300 odd a year but it's an annual thing so next year and the year after I could get more.

What's this feeling...? Job satisfaction... Quick must ring 'Search'. I think they owe me 4 years worth of this stuff. :p

Whilst on the subject of good news, in a few days time I will officially be a published writer as I have short 250 word review in issue #29 of Neo Magazine. The review is for a horrible Manga called 'Strawberry Marshmallow' and I got paid £20 for it.
Although it's small it means I'll have been published professionally. *glee*

Anyway off the back of that I have been asked to do another 250 word review for issue #30, this time it's an Anime called 'Le Portrait De Petite Cossette' which will get me another £20. Assuming I keep up my hard work I figure that a review or two a month plus regular job will net me a nice little bit of extra cash each month and mebbe I can even do some larger reviews but for now it's like 'they' say :

"Slowly, slowly catchy Monkey."
:D

Also Becky's Birthday / Party soon... Should be interesting (*prays for no family scraps*), got myself some new clothes for it the other day as apparantly I'm not allowed to turn up to her 21st as a tramp... Should have had a costume party. *grumble grumble*

I think that's all for now, I'm sure something else will come to me as I post this. Byeeeee!

This entry is mainly for the benefit of Dan (breadcrumbtrail) but is funny. It's one of the better E-Mails to come out of the frenzy and names a few people in unfavourable yet pretty accurate light. :)
Good stuff's at the bottom. :)
