Last happy post, honest : I walked 10 miles to see my bestestest friend for half an hour and to give her her birthday present, but totally fucking worth it.
Except walking back to the station in the dark through the woods. That shit was crazy creepy. I could see like a foot ahead of me.
Return of the happy thread.

Well, it's official.
I am to be on call 24/7. And to be paid 25% of my hourly rate for every weekday hour I am on call, and 37.5% of my weekly rate for every weekend hour or holiday hour I am on call.
This works out, for a normal work week, to around 38 hours of extra pay.
I get, on average, a dozen pages a year of any importance.
So... yeah. It was in the unhappy thread because I was being pulled in three different directions. But now that this impossibly silly situation has become an actual reality, I've basically earned a 100% pay raise.
Sure, it won't last long. Some bean counter will FREAK OUT and put an end to it. But until then... whohoo!

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"

Damn skippy I did! 6 hours waiting >.<
Apparently it's a contender for the longest signing he's ever done. Reason it took so long wasn't because there were lots of people though.
It was because he insisted on not turning away a single person, and rather than just signing books and moving to the next person, he stopped and had a bit of a chat with everyone that came past him.
As I say, bloody nice bloke.
I keep forgetting you're a Londoner now Robby, we should do some kind of London based meetup :p
