burdens

I'm on hold to British Gas who can't find my landlord's account on their system. Until they find it I cannot have a bath or wash my dishes. At least I get to listen to that horn bit from The Universal over and over and over...

AND WHOOOOOO KNEEEEW that to get a passport photo in Glasgow would take two hours and cos me FIVE POUNDS. five squids down the pants. i could swear those machines used to cost two fifty or something. Once i eventually FOUND a machine (they are like bloody golddust) it ate my money and i had to go on a sweaty confusing trip around buchanan galleries trying to find the "managers suite". when the customer service guy called it that i imagined a teachers lounge or something but it was just a helpful girl behind a desk. she freely handed me a refund. by this point i was exhausted and hungry so before i went home i may have popped into forbidden planet. :D

i am not on hold anymore...
