Mostly I have been watching Carnivale, and pointedly staying away from anything on the internet that might give away the ending. I love it quite a bit, even if it has some dodgy gender issues. The female characters are quite beautiful though.
Also I started my new job at the University on Monday, which is fine. It's quite dull. Mostly I am sitting at a computer at the moment and typing up feedback sheets from students about their seminars. Some of which are admittedly hilarious. I like it when they use capital letters. But it still gets a bit wearing when you have to do it for 4 hours. However - as you can imagine, this involves me being on the computer a lot. As it turns out there's not much physical filing to do. But no computer in the admin room where I'm working has been without some problem since I've been working there, and my main one is that even though I've been given a password and a login, when I try to use them the computer asks me for a workstation password, which I don't have. And my Uni password and login don't work. And the temporary password and login an IT guy set up for me doesn't work. When anyone else logs in for me, which they pretty much have to, it does not ask them for a password. When I tried a different computer this morning, it asked me for the other password. Bastard. So I mostly have to wait for about half an hour in the morning for someone to come in and log me on, doing nothing. Earning a "how are you getting on, Rachael?" from the woman in charge.
But apart from that, it's alright. The people are nice, it's not too far from the flat, there's a lake outside, complete with swans and crows that terrorise each other. Apparently it's meant to be for three weeks, but they're looking for someone long term until Christmas too, though they want to wait and see how I get on before they say anything definite. Hopefully I'll get it, because the money's pretty good. And, yeah, Christmas is coming up and I'm probably going to need it. And if the students continue to list as a failing point of a seminar the fact they were bored, hey, it's all good!
The Peter Serafinowicz Show is on tonight. I keep forgetting about that.
