Last week was busy. It always is they few days after a bank holiday, but this seems to have gone on all week. That coupled with the fact that we were running the branch on two for two days, once with me in charge, made for stress. On the plus side, I had my half yearly appraisal and I appear to be doing better than I thought. On the negative side, I'm running the branch for three days next week, and one of those days I;ll only have one other member of staff again. But then I have a day off, before being moved to the far quieter branch of Whitefriargate from Friday. That is a bit of a mixed blessing really. On the one hand, there will be far less stress, but on the other it is incredibly quiet there, quiet enough that I could probably sit and read a book and nobody would notice. It's also in town, which is good for travel when the weather is okay, but if it is raining parking is super expensive and the bus station is miles away. Never mind though, I'm sure I'll work something out.
I've been thinking about my hair recently. A few months ago, I stopped having it cut. I were it really short normally, a little longer at the front with bangs that sweep in from one side, but really short at the back, and shaved at the neckline. But I had an appointment for a cut back in January, and I had to cancel it because I had been asked to work. Then I just never bothered making it again. Four months later, I just have this mess, still way too short to tie back, but too long to look neat. It doesn't help that it's curly, which you don;t even notice when it's short but now it has a bit of length, I pump of mouse and drying it with a diffuser result in something that looks like a 1980s perm. I know this because I tried it for a laugh yesterday. So my dilemma is this: do I make an appointment and have it cut again, or do I continue to grow it and see what happens? I would like to try something new, but I'm getting a little sick of looking like a mess all this time. I've been thinking for a month or so that any day now it'll reach a length that is more manageable, but it keeps not doing. What normally happens is you make an appointment to get it cut then the next day you realize it looks not too bad now. Maybe I should book in so that that happens!
I got my Esther the Wonder Pig book on Friday (along with my helmet cam, but I don't have a memory card for that yet) so I've been reading that over the weekend. I love Esther. She's a pig that was adopted by a couple in Canada a few years ago, they thought she was a mini pig, but she turned out to be a full sized commercial pig, who just kept growing to around 650lbs. She is enormous, but she lives in the house with them and plays with the dogs and is just one of the family. It's amazing. They changed their whole lives because of there, moved out of the city to the countryside, went vegan, opened an animal sanctuary, all because they had this pig and the couldn't bear to give her up. The book is about their whole journey, and although I know it because I've followed Esther on Facebook for a year or so, I'm really enjoying it.
I've also started rewatching Lillyhammer on Netflix, it's been a while since I've seen it, it;s just as good as I remember,
