Minor Update

Not really much to update on, come to think of it. My earlier post regarding the play time of Crackdown reveals that the critics were accurate; the game really is too short. Whereas before I hadn't even taken down the first "boss", I've now almost completed the thing. Granted, it's on the easiest difficulty setting, but that's how I've always played my games. I start on the easiest, then I move through the difficulties. It adds longevity to any game. Still kicks ass, though.

Work is going well, too. Despite having only ever taken one or two Marks & Spencer calls before (email team, you see) I managed to do quite well on Monday and Tuesday. It's now Wednesday, and I'm on my first of three days off. Then back in for four, which sucks, but at least the calls are only flower orders and stores calling in to check things. I mean, come on... "Do we deliver to Wales?"

We do, in case you're wondering.

Aside from Crackdown, work and sleeping, I've mainly been re-reading some Discworld novels. Started from the beginning and I'm working my way through. It only occurred to me a few weeks ago that I still didn't have Carpe Jugulum, which was both shocking and exciting - I love reading Discworld novels that I've never read before. I'm up to The Fifth Elephant at the moment, which I'm thoroughly enjoying. I seem to be able to forget almost everything that happens in a Discworld novel, so reading them again is almost as good as the first time. That, and the Vimes novels are my favourite.

That's about it, really. Might head down to Tesco for some IRN BRU. Two 2 litre bottles should do me until Saturday, when I can just buy some 500mls from the cafeteria at any time. I'll be sure to post again should anything interesting happen, though.
