Anything but Editorial

Graphic design meeting at work today.  Everyone gathered around the big conference table on the ground level and talked about different covers for a book about flags.  Then we talked about the different pictures about a kids in a wild garden book.  There was also some computer troubles since a few files weren't loading very fast.  We thought it was because the contact sheets were of a massive size because they're, well, contact sheets and thus have multiple pictures on one file.  Personally, I didn't think anything was particularly wrong.  My own computer can get that slow when surfing the Internet so slow computers are nothing new to me.  But hey, I don't own the company.  If he says they're too slow and something's wrong with them, you gotta believe him.

Spent the rest of the day compiling an email list for marketing.  Was introduced to a new intern today.  Her name is Helen and she's most likely from the London area.  Didn't get to know her that well but we did do some dishes together after the graphic design meeting.

Broke a bowl when I was cleaning up after lunch.  Marianne told me where a brush and dustbin were so I could sweep it up.  No one panicked because another bowl was broken because it apparently happens all the time.

Very sleepy afternoon.  I needed a good stand so I went downstairs and did some dishes before I made tea.

Filled out the invoice for my travel expenses.  First time I did an invoice, but it was really easy.  Just said who I was, where I lived, who gets to pay me, how much they owe me.  Told Marianne I can't accept cheques because my bank is in the US.  But since I'm getting a fairly small amount a payment in cash shouldn't be too bad.  I prefer cash, personally.  Saves me a trip to the cash machine.

Topped up my mobile because I was out of minutes.  Did that on the way TO work, actually.

Ordered pizza because I didn't feel like making food (even though I had noddles in which sauce on the brain).  Told Oscar to come visit me, but he won't.  One of those things you just know, you know?  He mentioned that he looked hideous and he was really sleepy so even though we need to talk about some things, I think they can wait one more day.  Besides, I gotta clean up the desk and do some dishes and return the Box o' Treats to the cupboard where I can't easily access them.

And then I decided to favorite the below video because it's hilarious:



And that was my homework-free day.

OH.  Almost forgot.  I took a different route coming home from work.  I felt comfortable enough to say I was bored taking the 59 from King's Cross all the time, so I decided to walk all the way to Russell Square to hop on there instead.  It's a nice little walk.  I think I'll take it tomorrow because it's less crowded and touristy.  Which should be taken as a good sign because now I'm working around tourists instead of through them.
