How Was Your Day?

[lavrentis]

Had my ear's syringed 3 times.

Before you go docs appointment, put olive oil in your ear affected for a week otherwise they won't do it.

[Guest MattP]

I have mine done every 9 months or so as well, nightmare.

Try the Olive Oil, does work for me every now and then to avoid the docs.

Every time the wax blocked my ear I'm about 80-90% deaf and it's always the first time I use the olive oil I go 100% deaf. The olive oil makes it worse for me but has to be done

Last time I got it done was before last christmas which up until now is the longest i've been without being affected. It's always been about 6-7 months in between before that for 3 times.

Thank god for the NHS though, free ear syringing unlike the US where they'd charge something like $100 iirc

Was just relaxing on fifa with my flatmate, nice little game, just getting tired and bang fire alarm goes off. Been stood outside our halls for the past hour, someone smashed the glass and wouldn't admit who it was. Security couldn't reset the alarm either. So wide awake again...

Burnt myself today though. Certain fingers still feeling warm, and bleeding slightly.

Called in at ASDA on the way home. Upon leaving the shop and trying to get into my car, discovered that the battery had gone in my remote. Had to walk home and get the spare key. Massive pain in the trumpet.

Couldn't just pop in to ASDA and buy a battery?

[glenny_fox]

There are others but they were busy with other things today. One had a meeting with the boss of Action Homeless plus there was an event on this morning. I am trying to be involved more though and look as if I'm doing something.

I can post anything if you have stories social and community related. Any concerns or anything you wish to make your voice heard just post on the blog. It is open to anyone.

Was in Apex today and over the next few months a media newsroom is being set up. There is going to be a news desk for Citizens Eye and other branches and one for DNO. Applications will be made to the Lottery Fund to enable to have an editor and sub-editor on a part time paid capacity. I may consider putting my name forward for a sub-editor role. I was not too confident when I started but as I am one of the few 'reporters' that turn up I would like to see if I could do it. It won't pay much but it may enable me to come off JSA if I do that internet job as well.

I just want a name badge to put around my neck really with Ace Reporter on.

You should go for the Sub editor position, considering one of the sub editiors recently quit, you might be able to make the magazine decent

[Rincewind]

Did I say one had quit? They had other things to do with Action Homeless. I think it is extra roles being created. Not sure yet as it is still in the planning and setting up. Also I believe it is subject to lottery funding. I was only going on what the editor of Citizens' Eye said so I'll wait until it happens and see if it is suggested to me. I get on OK with the others so they know me and my capabilities so it is up to them.

[glenny_fox]

No you didn't say one had quit, but I know that one did. And yes they do other things for Action Homeless, but not alot

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Between Wednesday and Sunday i had completed over 59.5 hours at work, still another night shift to look forward to later

6 days at work in total 69hours worked, rest day yesterday and today back to work tomorrow

Me too but not as many hours as you...

The Co-ordinator left a few weeks ago because she got herself a full time job. Working at a school I think.

i have sent you a message Parafox, last week was a bit unusual as i would only do about 50-55hrs roughly normally depending on what shifts i was doing. My best so far has been 89.5hours in one 7 day stretch, about killed me though

Yeah she got a job at a school, and well then if you haven't heard yet, then expect an announcement shortly about one of the sub editors

[lavrentis]

Good day! Got work done and I'm doing well at learning Japanese at UOL.

Fuck. Ing. Hell.

On that, although nowhere near as mental, I'm on my 10th consecutive day of work. Two more days until I get the weekend off

As a recovery from the marathon I treated myself to a Nando's...

Had a double chicken wrap, spicy rice an usedy mates card for a free 1/2 chicken. All extra hot.

Eating bad food was outrageously good and I'm waiting patiently for my Bombay doors to open. Tonight is going to be a shitstorm.

Why is that bad food?

[ACF]

My German Oral Exam went fecking brilliantly yesterday, only got 6 more to go until I'm a free man!

Turn 18 on Sunday, large party at mine on the Saturday, having a great time right now!

[FoxesAreBlue]

Well to be fair, I am only guessing, but I would guess that there is a lot of hidden salt, sugars and preservatives in there, if not in the chicken, definately the sauce.

What's the address? I'll show you young people how to party

You seem to know a bit. Have I met you?

I think the head man at AH wants another coordinator in place. At the moment the original four sub editors are running the mag and to the ones that arrange the funding it may not look professional enough. Although the ones doing it seem to work well together.

Had an email to say the meetings will be once a week at Apex House 1-4pm. The same time as Citizens Eye have theirs so it will be like a newsroom when anyone can drop in, volunteer or get information and maybe we will find a story or two to put out to the public.

I never thought I'd be doing this a couple of years back. Never even knew about Citizens' Eye.

Got the package for the online exam coming at 9am Thurs. Can't reveal about the actual content but its in two parts theory and a 150 task pratical. I expect some of those will just be visiting sites.

I have signed a waver that will take me to some adult content during some jobs so obviously I cannot share them as I would have the old Bill knocking on my door.

Thought it was later. Only 00.30. I have five days to study and complete the test. Today will be going over the notes and guidelines I think.

Even if I pass anything I do will have to be good quality in order to receive the fee.

No, you wont of met me.

I don't deal directly with DNO, but I work at the AH head office, with the people that do deal with it, so I hear everything that goes on with it.
