I like getting post!
Fabulous!
Well, I mean I know that the week before last was teh awesomeness anyway, but guys. Man, I love selling things. Rock!
I have just recieved my cheque from the fab guys over at Campus Clothing, who, you’ll recall from my endless banging on about it, were paying me money to sell toptastic Graduation memorabilia to anyone and everyone who came past the stall.
I was getting paid, as I’ve said, a really decent rate of £55/day, which was nice, although, as I mentioned in this huge post it was pretty exhausting stuff, since I was up at the Arts Centre by 07-50 and not heading back down the Hill until somewhere between 18-30 and 19-00.
Still, it wasn’t a bad way to make just shy of three week’s rent, plus bonuses for having fun selling people things.
Anyway, I cavort merrily into Tangentia. My apologies.
I have just recieved my cheque. With the cheque is a letter, which runs after this fashion:
“John,
Cheque enclosed - thanks for all your help & we have paid you £67.00, not £55.00 day rate, to compensate for long days. Regards,
[name]
P.S. Bonus payments yet to be calculated.”
I’m up the better part of a further fifty quid. I am walking on air people; I can not only pay the rent, I can actually afford food, too! I love those guys.
My apologies to Charlie in the office downstairs for playing loud and celebratory Rammstein with a subwoofer right about his head. I am cheerful.

Oh. Is that what it was?

Thank-you! I shall buy you all presents as appropriate. You all like T-shirts with other people’s names on, right?
The Rammstein was ‘Sonne,’ and then ‘Du hast.’ I like the Germans. My centre speaker may do naff all, but the subwoofer has got a decent punch to it if you crank the bass up all the way to the stop!
