I have a finely tuned or sometimes sporidically tuned diary system which enables me to work out what days i do my visits in the most time efficient manner. Then like a tightly sprung clock the occasional unforeseen spanner in the works throughs everything into chaos. Such was the oversubscribed course, being the proverbial spanner. Snap!

So i am having to think hard and fast on what days i will do these visits yet to be completed, and having that journey next week to Sussex for a few days. Financially a bit constrained as well, and waiting a payment for a CD i sold on Ebay that is worth a tenner.Next major payments not due to being next Wednesday and Friday.

I have picked up another exit survey for Saturday for three hours work at fifty quid in Strood, but earlier times than the Hythe one. Thank goodness. Means a reasonable time back home.

I am still trying to fathom out why some people are such bigoted misanthropes vis-à-vis the vitriol that [livejournal.com profile] rubyelf received the other day. Such dorks are pathetic in my book. Anyhow, it is a sunny mild day outside and one in which it is best not to be stuck indoors.

Arrrrgghh. Have it all in stride and OMG! happens. *facepalm*

Can't figure that out myself. Hope she knows people are backing her, though.

*HUGS*

If you belonged to the kind of social minority I belong to, I suspect you'd know what makes people into prejudiced bigots. It's the fear of the 'other'.

That said, it doesn't excuse it.

I will be the first to admit to not being especially diary/calendar-oriented. ^_^; I'm more given to the flexibility of the Tao.

BTW, when times are brighter, I will have to suggest one bottle I've just tried at the Evening Star: TOØL's Brewberry No.3, from the second row down in the fridge. It's a tricky one to describe - it's sort of a blonde, but with some sourness, but also like an Imperial IPA, all with a very uncommonly richly floral, aromatic hop head, without being awkwardly bitter. Really quite an unusual beer indeed.

"...next Wednesday and Friday." Do you mean 18th and 20th or 25th and 27th? Either way and to help with the 'financial constraint' I will cover the cost of your ATLC lunch and beverages on the 24th. 20 quid should do it I reckon. Just ease up on the spending on CDs and books in the meantime!

I've travelled a lot and I think that most bigoted or racist people are that way because of isolation and being under-educated, or not educated at all.

I hope things will settle into a doable schedule for you again soon.

well, it wasn't your fault. Definitely a spanner in the works, though. God luck with that!

People in the main seem to be really nice on lj, so I am sad to 'hear' of this, and hope it settles down soon.
