I missed Doctor Who!  Stupid stupid Erastes!  I had a bath and it was lovely and sunny in my bedroom so I went and lay down and read for a couple of hours and got up at 8. Completely forgot about the Good Doctor and the BBC don't smegging repeat it, except on satellite.  I could spit. So I'll have to bung off and buy a new satellite box this week. I'm sick of having five channels anyway. *kicks the BBC* (hard)

The edit for Hard & Fast is done and sent back to Linden Bay. Relatively painless. I just went "accept all" for the punctuation, because frankly I am a caveman who wouldn't know where one went if my life depended on it.  Roll on the release date of 1st June!

Back to writing tomorrow - and job hunting!

I missed the sodding repeat as well. I was watching snooker... However, I think it's repeated on BBC3 on Friday as well. I'll just have to tape that, as I'll be at a rehearsal! I tried to tape it yesterday because I was out, and the stupid tape ran out about 10-15 minutes before the end (I think).

You can download BBC iplayer for free, and then download any programme you fancy. Then you can keep it unwatched for a month, or watch it for however many times you like for a week, after which it deletes itself.

I watched pretty much all of Torchwood using this. It's brilliant :)

I usually leave work early so I can see it, but I forgot this weekend. At least Scifi Channel repeats it later the same night so I didn't miss it.

I can't believe that stupid BBC aren't repeating it on a terrestrial channel.

Are they not repeating it the following Saturday, much earlier in the afternoon? I have a vague feeling I saw it there the other day.... Will check in the Radio Times for you.

It was the first half of a two parter so at least you'll get the 'previously, on Dr Who' thing at the beginning of next week's ep...

Only repeats I can see are on BBC3 - one was Sunday, which I missed, bah, and the next is Friday, when I'm out so will have to try taping it again.

Don't you have Freeview at all?

No - my freeview box broke. I will just have to get off my arse and go and buy a new one - sheesh they are cheap enough these days!

Did your place of work get back to you or are you looking anyway in the light of what they said?

I resigned officially this morning. They will pay me until the end of May, and my resignation will look better in the face of me having to look for another job - I can say that I wanted to go part time - or that I was bored with being a legal secretary and wanted to do something new.

Oh, well done ye! Much better to go before being pushed! Any payment in lieu of notice, or is that the till-end-of-May thing?

Date: 2008-04-28 04:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] erastes.livejournal.com
Yes - they said "of course we won't expect you to work out your notice"

They amaze me, they really do. Like I'm going to WANT to do so!!!!?!

I wish you well in looking. It's just a shame that you had to look in the first place.
