Today I didn't start work until 12, but had to get the bus in for 10. As previously outlined, the buses are atrocious. Having sent my provisional application off the other day I should be receiving it in the next couple of weeks, so hopefully I'll be driving within a couple of months meaning all the frustration of relying on buses will be behind me. Hopefully.
With time to kill I unsurprisingly ended up spending money I don't want to spend on things I don't need. The upside to this though is that I get more points on my PureHMV card and I did buy a driving test trainer for the DS.
Work was far less quiet than yesterday but still pretty dull for most of the day. Nothing untoward happened; customers were on the whole fine, nothing particularly stressful happened, it just took a while to pass due to the lack of things to do.
This evening I went to the cinema with Danny and Caroline. We saw Hot Tub Time Machine; I appreciate how little respect that sentence earns but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was quite enjoyable. It is funny, with a plot that isn't too obvious, actors who have good chemistry playing characters who are likeable but gain little development as the film progresses. I don't go to a film about a Hot Tub that transports a group of middle aged friends back to the 80's expecting ground-breaking plotlines or deep characterisation, so I can't complain. I got what I hoped for in an overall good, fun, escapist film with the addition of a decent 80's soundtrack. A somewhat apathetic 6/10 because there's nothing that blew me away but nothing that detracted from the movie.
I haven't heard anything new about the election saga, save for the Sun referring to Gordon Brown as a "squatter", prompting me to burst into a fit of laughter in Co-Op; whether you like him or not, he's still the prime minister until a new one is elected, so for the time being he stay in number 10. Get over it.
