James' Goodtimes!

I work in the Accomodation Office of EF International Language School's Oxford Branch. My title is "Accommodation Assistant" and i answer a lot of phone calls and other crap. I work with Jackie and Aisha. Aisha is black and has two young sons. I am gonna be their basketball trainer! We work from 8:30am to 5:30pm (read: 8:30am to 7:00pm or beyond. without extra pay). anyway, i make them cups of tea every couple of hours - a good excuse to go downstairs to the staffroom via reception -

- where Liz is Administration Manager. she was meant to be Accommodation Assistant but their Admin Manager went to Manchester. She deals with all the crap from the students, sales offices, student's parents, staff and much random shite. In reception there is Loes from Belgium, Patrik from Sweden, and Caterina from Calabria (where the Perth italians are all from).

with caterina, we live in a small 2 bedroom cottage adjacent to the school grounds. we have a nice kitchen (without tongs), a bathroom and the choise of three wireless internet networks...

every wednesday, Liz and i walk down to Cowley Road, where we eat at Nangdos (woo!) and then go to Tescos for our weekly shop.
every weekend, we usually will make it into central oxford, where we go into shoe shops.

We have seen 5 films at two different theatres - Pirates of the Carribbean III, Shrek II, Zodiac, Ocean's 13 at the Odeon; and at the Luna Paridiso's Oxford branch The Phoenix we saw American Beauty. I think that one's gonna win academy awards...
On DVD we have watched Zoolander, Usual Suspects, Saving Private Ryan, The Prestige, Starsky and Hutch, the Die Hard Trilogy... and Scrubs over and over.

Since the NBA draft (last week), i am now looking forward to HP5 and the book launch party on the eve of the 22nd.

Hmmmm.

thats enough blogging...

on one last note,
we also have Enigma brand toilet paper, which i created the gimmick - "enigma: what a ˆshitˆ name for toilet paper!

and another,
Patrik (from Sweden) absolutely loves my bottle-opening thongs bron got me for christmas last year. i have to send him some in Sweden...
