So

So, I get a phone call at 8.30.

I, needless to say, was asleep.

Anyway, I come to enough to find my phone. It's a with-held number. Only one person I know who rings me shows up as a with-held number, but ever since that time I answered with 'HIIIIIYAAAAAAA' and it turned out to be Kent Police, I've been a little cautious when answering. Especially at 8.30 in the morning.

I answer it. "Hello?"

Turns out, it's a good job I was cautious. It's the person in charge of a website I maintain. He basically asks me what I've been doing since we last spoke in, um, April, because I'm doing a web admin interface for him, and the guy they're hiring to use it to maintain the website starts next month.

My reply, I believe, went something like this:

"Uhhhhhhhh.... oh, hi... uhhhnnng*bear growl*... yeah.... I've, uh, had, uh, exams for the past few months, but they end in a few days so I should be fine for your new looker-after guy."

As you may guess, there was then a short pause.

I should have said 'thousands of hours of coursework' rather than exams. I could have mentioned what I have been doing for the website, rather than giving the impression that I've just been slacking off for the past few months. But I didn't, and it didn't really get any better, because I didn't really get any more awake.

He's going to ring me back after my exams :p
