Logistical d00m

[j4]

So, I have this "week off" before I start at MISD (on the 9th now, I obviously mistook what they said on the phone, because the formal letter very clearly said the 9th and I wrote back and said the 9th and they haven't said anything since).

This is what I have to fit in to the week somehow:

• Man from British Gas is coming to fix the boiler some time between 12 and 6 on Tuesday.


• hoiho arrives Tuesday night, staying at least till Thursday morning.


• Portfolio Singers rehearsal, Tuesday 8:30-10ish pm


• Orchestra rehearsal, Wednesday 7:30-9:30pm


• Photo shoot (modelling thingy) on Thursday starting at 10am but no idea where (except "just outside Cambridge, easily accessible by train or car") or for how long yet.


• Get to London to see nou and possibly others as well.


• Take pto452 to Ian Allen in Witchford in the hope that he can get her into MOT-passable condition.


• Take bike to Raleigh shop for fixing, because gears no longer work.


• Read about things I ought to know for new job, try to get brain back in gear, etc.


• Working at Oxfam Books 9am-1pm on Saturday.


• Working at Carlton Arms 7-11:30pm on Friday, and 12-4pm on Sunday.

My head hurts. :-(

Update: I forgot to include my karate class, which I arranged for Monday 8:30-9:30 because Monday night was the only night when I didn't have anything else on & nobody was visiting.

I would postpone London to a weekend after you've started work, and maybe also the car service too (I don't know what other things would be damaged by non-available car).

The thing is with the car, getting it serviced basically means taking at least a half-day off work (because the only person who can service it is in Witchford -- a good 30 mins' drive away -- and I suspect the amount of fixing that needs done will take at least 2 hrs) so I really wanted to get it done before I have to use up holiday on it. And the MOT is up at the end of Feb, and as it stands there's no way it will pass.

Of course, this whole plan is sort of contingent on getting the car in a state where I can drive it to Witchford at all. Hopefully with brrm's help I will be able to do that at the weekend, but if we (or rather he -- if I could've fixed it I'd've done so!) can't fix it then I'm in trouble. :-/
