Lol, would you believe it the advertising company we were working with on the Anit-Fascist campaign who took control of the reigns of the project and pretty much kept us in the dark - they are kicking us out of the building.
Unbelievable! Saatchi & Saatchi were even PAID by my boss -he dosen't pay anyone in this company so that's a privilege! What I am most displeased about is the fact he (CEO) has been in that building since 1996 paying 50 grand a year without fail, now he's come across money problems (not surprised, he fritters everything on silly lavish things to make himself look classy, rich - which he clearly isn't). So We barely launched the campaign on time due to the snootey-ness of S&S they too their sweet ass time to make swastika prints - which were UPSIDE DOWN - for flip sake it took me a brown nose to notice and correct them. Did i get thanked or given a sign of gratitude, chocolate, money, bling - NOPE!
Well we were officially locked out on monday and poor Jun had to go through the whole process of having his card not work, then talk to the grumpy receptionist then some strange man telling him : 'Speak to Bobby.' What a load of crap - they can't even let us get our stuuf? Lawyers will ahve to egt involved but what upsets me the most is all my medication is int hat office- allergy tablets, pain killers, spot cream - Jeeze how am I supposed to live for the next 2-4 weeks? (who knows when they will give us permission to take our stuff...). So un-professional plus my boss has the biggest mouth in the country he will spread ill will to all in the media industry and blanken their name for it- they really need to reconsider their stupidity - they are an establish marketing/advertising company they don't need this lame PR over them.
Also found out through one of the receptionists they house a charity in the building for free! We are technically one too - we haven't made money in 4 years, it's all to help the community, extinguish the BNP rise...educate people in social cohesion.
I'm so annoyed. i'll see if I can book an appointment with the doctors tomorrow to get more meds - I feel itchy just know I don't have them - whether they work or not...

Money is on it's way
I had my induction today with Bola from Creative Process - a scheme by the (labor) Government to help the unemployed into good fields of work for at least 6 months to create a good CV and experience for themselves.
Bascially it's to increase the social networking capability aka making more of a presence on the internet for businesses. Fromt he previous interview with Bola & jack they loved the project I'm working on (EMMA) so they would pay me part time (£150 a week un taxed) to stay there - any extra days is voluntary and I'd expect my boss to carry paying expenses. Hopefulyl i'd get a NewDeal discount travel card for the 6 months too...
It was an interesting session, she did iq tests, personality tests on me and another guy called Joseph. I was classed as a good communicator and had the body image of a type 3 - super hero - lol I'm a giver and passionate about what i stand for and do. I will have to however motivate others and manipulate to get the best out of them. De-ligating is something that i need to work on as I probably take too much on (hell yeah!)
At around 2pm it all finished, Bola was particularly taken aback by Joseph who seemed to have a good selection of strengths and no stigmas holding him back (aka Batman issues) even I was surprised, you meet few people without chips on their shoulders - also he was cute too and in a band 'don't wait animate' (had dabbled at mencer too).
I then realized I had a few missed calls from Jun & a random text from bobby saying 'DON'T come to the office, contact me and I'll explain...' My instant reaction was to call Jun - he picked up and explained he was locked out of the office. It was going to happen sooner or later, I was silly enough to take it easy and left all my anti-histamines & pain killers there. i'll ave to book another appointment with the docs to get more- who knows how long it will take for Saatchi & Saatchi to authorised us to go back in and get our stuff.
List of my stuff to retrieve:
In my bottom drawer oppisite bosses office
1. flat white & black shoes (top shop brand)
2. metallic gold ankle boots (spot on)
3. medication (in drawer opposite my computer)

24 City a Documentary Spurning Realism
24 City a Documentary for the Working ClassThe third in Pan Asian Film festival hosting the pre release of 24 City at Piccadilly Apollo. After sinking into the luxury seats you are already in the mood to get on with the cinematic experience. Featuring an introduction to new faces & loyal followers, Malcolm McNeil representative of Asian House welcomes us to 24 City. Shown at the luxury Apollo cinema off Piccadilly Circus, which has their own bar downstairs as well as velvet covered seats and a waiting area where you can sit in individual booths in style before your film starts.
The beginning starts with the frame focused on a middle ages slim man. His wrinkles give away his age and his eyes display sorrow. His was a worker at Factory 420.
Over three generations, we meet eight characters in a documentary style film. They were old workers, factory executives and kids growing up in the sector and their stories build a picture of what China was during the production of aeronautic parts.
Director, Jia Zhang Ke, states: ‘Present‐day films rely more and more on action and movement. In this film, I wanted to return to spoken language. Here, narration is taken as a kind of movement to be captured by the camera.’ True to his word the film moves from anecdote from each character with progressions of the Factory 420 being explained through the shots of the decay, left over machinery, new showing the renovation and development of the new apartment complex 24 City.
Most of the people featured are real inhabitants of the factory but with a few leading cast to not detract away from the realism. Joan Chen plays Gu Minhua or ‘Little Flower’ her beauty got her the title of ‘standard component’ meaning the flower of the factory. This beautiful woman who had to go to the factory purely as there was no room in her house. This causes difficulty in her getting married as she felt she was far too superior to the men in her home town but too shy to pursue any in the factory.
Though creating military was not the most glamorous, the benefits given to the people involved were immense at the time, whether it be a kilo of meat a month, private education for children, 10 yuan a week or uniforms it was all quite luxurious for the time they lived in.
Therefore when the decline loomed and people started to be laid off, it really affected them and their families. We don’t have much special effect or any action scenes given it were a factory for weapons, but all that superficial stuff wasn’t needed. An eye opener for people who lived on the outside.
24 City seemed to be no more than a hollow husk of memories and to quaote my mother who came to see this with me: 'What did I do to deserve such torture watching this movie?' not really a crowd pleaser.

Controvery for the Uk's General Elections
That Gordon Brown 'bigot' gaffe was priceless - I do love Sky and their nosiness !
Seriously thought saying that about a 64 'all her life Labour voter' - it kind of makes you sick and he claims it was said in the 'heat of the moment'. Big boo boo PM Brown!
Now all the political parties are penalizing him and criticizing the way of Labour.
Even the BNP are getting pissy with him, wanting to do a last minute campaign against them. I swear they are more bigoted than any other entity on this planet? Check out their new immigration policies - giving foreigners 50,000 grand to leave the country - 'voluntarily of course!
General Elections 6th May 2010 - please research before you vote - carting foreigners away will not give you an instant economy spurt...look at these super controversial Anti-Fascist ads by EMMA Trust & Saatchi and Saatchi!

A new beginning
A new beginning deserves a new name: Hi no tenshi aka. Angel of fire
Time to create some flames!
Time to create some flames!
I can't believe i'm late
Damn you national rail! My stomache is growling & I got up early to make a good example to the interns since my late mornings - side effects from food poisoning. Guess wot? My 8.36 train has been cancelled, now i'm on the wrong train 30mins late! Why? The boss will freak if he calls the office & i'm not there. I'm more upset from fridays events. Laila quit on tuesday night. It was all abit messy, she the week b4 gave the keys to someone else intending not to come in & without telling the boss who was actually in the office. I thought it was a bit odd. I wasnt in the office due to day off but... I think the boss went overboard on her, if i'd got to her 1st first they both Wud have had the argument. Yikes poor rose got suck in the middle. Well after that crap I tried to smooth things over but Laila clearly had an attitude even after the boss apologsed 2 her. Zoe was asking a lot of questions too, making me suspicious, didnt help her & Laila discussed the bosses conversation. I have gossiping. Needless to say out
