Biological Warfare

9 February - Incredible weather again today. Still cold but bright and sunny pretty much all day. Fantastic feeling to be really warm from the exertion going up a hill and to go on a long sprint down the other side where the my face and arms get chilled by the wind. Slightly better management of the trips today but still, when the universe ends and entropy reigns and you're wondering why all the energy was wasted so quickly you can blame Lee, the Novex dispatcher, for doing his bit to hasten the inevitable. Also have a new challenger for the worst trip ever - today I took a urine sample from an old folks home to the hospital. I think its illegal for us to move biological samples like this but it was a SHT so what are you going to do? Also, made a promise to make sure I don't eat junk food whilst on shift - it never agrees with me and the best of the franchises is still pretty awful over here.
Potentially have a female who will be joining the household to replace the Australian who just couldn't seem to tolerate us it seems. Could well be a good thing for the vibe of this house ... As it surely needs some improvement at the moment. Went back downtown in the evening to meet up with Dimitri for some 'Walk The Line' action but it turns out that the local paper misprinted the times and so we were relegated to 'The Matador' instead. I have gained a new respect for Pierce Brosnan after this - the movie was kind of slow but it was a slow burn and Mr Brosnan was fantastic, although his brogue kept on popping up and I don't think he was supposed to be Irish. Also, it turns out that the discount tickets that we were given by the manager at our last ill conceived attempt to see the film were actually freebie tickets so didn't even pay for it, which made it even better. The popcorn liberally sprinkled by Dimitri's nutritional yeast (apparentlya rich source of Vitamin B) was not so good though.
