Crossdressing flightless birds are the new black.

Laste week was, as you may have guessed, mostly work with small amounts of sleep and pizza. I managed to read LJ but didn't have the energy to reply to much, so I probably owe several people either replies or well wishes.

Saturday, I slept a lot and saw Severance, which even in hindsight I think was fab.

Sunday & Monday, I investigated an Alternative Career Possibility by being [livejournal.com profile] nannyo's supposedly glamorous assistant at Blackpool Zoo. Sadly, I didn't get up close & personal with anything furry & befanged, but I did get to covet the lemurs, watch a Siberian tiger inhale several rabbits, go on a dinosaur hunt with Doctor Croc, and collect quite a bit of money for Wildlife Vets International in between doing the HMRC/CITES WTF were you thinking trying to import this? talk. Somehow, I avoided getting my face painted.

Lots of fun; wonderful company; rather too much Small Child Interaction for me to consider it as a valid career option (the one I got on with best was autistic, bright and Made Sense; most of the rest needed a good smack).

This week is more work, although not such ridiculous hours (apart from working Tuesday, which should have been my extra Bank Holiday).

[livejournal.com profile] daegaer - thank you, your parcel arrived! I shall look forward to watching it ALL and forgetting to eat this weekend :)
