Because there are some odd things happening in the news these past few days. Earlier on in the week I read about the person who was fired from their job at McDonald’s somewhere in Holland, for giving their colleague an extra slice of cheese in their hamburger. Thank god the courts saw sense. Then this [...]
I think I may go ahead and start it a bit earlier than anticipated. I’ve taken another look at the Open University website, obviously reading more about the Criminology degree that I want to do and there’s an Openings course on “Understanding Society”, which is kind of a segue into the more fully-fledged course I’m [...]
One thing I have been meaning to mention for some time is a not so cool experience I had with a travel website over the holidays. Recently I booked two tickets to go to New York at Easter. This isn’t for work, it’s purely pleasure. I reckon what with my degree coming up later this [...]
Looking at the calendar to my right, it’s been well over a week since my last entry. My apologies. What with the training for the voluntary job and trying to fit everything else in to the rest of the week, including work, the week has somehow gotten past me. I had also made a promise [...]
I thought I might let you know that I started training for my volunteer job this past Monday and I’m happy with the way things are going (well, apart from actually getting homework!!)

On Friday night at around 7.30 I received a phone call asking for an outcall to Ilford in Essex. For those unfamiliar with London and its geography, it’s a fair distance. I [...]
Tomorrow I’m at the flat. I have a booking from 10.30am-12pm, but then I have another at 4.30pm. Which means I have a four and a half hour break inbetween bookings. Now normally I don’t see more than 1 person a day, occassionally 2 gents. But I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do [...]
I had a gentleman write to me a couple of days ago email me to tell me how much he enjoyed my blog. He started following it after he came to see me a couple of months ago. I do get the odd compliment when gents come and see me, but to have somebody take [...]
Well, not quite true but I received a letter just before Christmas from my car insurers, stating that I had paid too much insurance protection and that I may entitled to a refund. I had totally forgot about it and was having a bit of a tidy up today (as you do after the holidays) [...]
