Stereotype

I was on the phone the other day to somebody who was able to sort out a topup to my Pay as you Go phone. The thing is, I've heard all those complaints about how customer service people, especially in the telephone department, are terrible at dealing with their customers, and how it's very rare for you to get through to somebody who can help you quickly and efficiently. As I was saying though, I was on the phone, and was sorted completely within five minutes of ringing them up. There was a lot of information being given on my end, and a lot of numbers and names being heard on their end. So why am I telling you this? Because I was extremely satisfied with my service, and apparently that's rare.

I saw Hot Fuzz, the best comedy I have seen in such a long time, I am struggling to think of the last time I sat in a cinema and laughed so much. It was so great, I might have to go and see it again, a new milestone in cinema watching for me. I'm also playing a lot of Poker, which is extremely fun, and as of this moment have made a good profit from so far! However, the moment things start to look sour, I'm pulling out. And no Chris, I'm not an addict!

My birthday is on Monday, but until then I have a lot to do. Frist, there's a party tomorrow evening in a friends house, for it's her birthday. Then, another of my friends birthdays and yet another party, on the same night! One's turning 20 [Sam!] and one's turning 21 [Jo!] and of course, because I forgot his birthday when i was on the radio once, it's also another 20th birthday for Stuart, my house mate and classmate. Then, on Saturday, it's my party joint with Stuart and Jo, because we're all maths geeks who deserve a good serving of alcohol. Then Sunday is a day of rest. Monday, my actual birthday, and I'm planning a meal with some of my closest friends, somewhere cheap and cheerful. And of course, a good few drinks in the bar! Wednesday is a big day for The Towers, a self created soap for the University, as we're filming the first episode then. Editing should follow the next day. Then, the following weekend on Friday, it's time to go home and meet up with my family and Welsh friends! A big meetup in Wind Street followed by Jumpin Jaks sounds good, and then Sunday may be a family meal to celebrate my belated birthday. Finally, on the Monday I head back, where it is another day of lectures, and then the next day is Derby Day where my photographic/journalistic skills will be put to good use. Boy, I cannot wait!
