The Blue Note

Now, this week I didn't have a New Adventures blog simply because I hadn't blogged in about 3 weeks, and it would have been far too long for a single sitting, and I can't remember everything that happened. So, from next week there will be New Adventures on a Thursday, as usual. But this week I'm just going to tell a funny story or two, and give you a general idea of what's happening.

On Thursday I went with Pierre, Justin and Gareth to Gareth's university for a few reasons. First was to meet Gareth's potential lady friend, second was to have a good time and third was because I had no reason not to.

Anyway, while we were there we met up with a friend of the Jizzer's, and subsequently a friend of ours, Melissa. We decided to grab some lunch together because we [actually Gareth] had a free period and coffee time had arrived again. I gave Jan a call and let him know where we were, and he pulled through for a chat.

We were talking and having a laugh when I got up to throw a tin away. Now for those of you who don't know, at the university they have bins for different materials, each one with a different colour lid. So, the green one is for 'Other', the blue one is for 'Paper', the yellow one is for 'Plastic' and the red one is for 'Tin'.

So, I throw the tin away, and then want to throw the straw away, but at the time I didn't know which bin was the correct one [I hadn't read the lids yet]. I asked before walking across to find the appropriate bin. When I returned I said "I put it in the yellow one... That's what she said."

We all had a good lol, and then Jan says "Necrophelia - I put it in the blue one." Everyone stared blankly before packing out in laughter. I teared up a little I was laughing so much.

Later I regaled Matt with the story, to which he replied "I would have died of laughter. And then Jan would have fucked me." That was a classic rofl moment.

Anyway, the rest of the day was reasonably good too, so great. Today is Kelly's 21st party, and the truth is that I'm rather nervous because I still haven't managed to swap my Butler's shift out. Well that's not entirely true because I originally thought the party was on Friday, so I did swap my shift out. But it turned out it was on Saturday, and I now am supposed to work. I really don't want too though, because it means I'll only finish at like 22h30, if not later.

I phoned the manager, Marcell yesterday, and asked him if he could try and organise something for me. He's going to try, but I suspect that I'll end up working. If I do, I'm going to inform them that I will be leaving early. So, no qualms. Well, hopefully anyway.

This has been a completely meaningless blog, but I hope you laughed at the story. Jan truly is a wonderful man.
