Tell us something really trivial about your life (vol 24)

[Fishtigua]

I thought I'd booked this week off. Nope, at work. Some strange looks of 'What are you doing here'?

Mixed messages and new office staff.

[ApOrbital]

Gretchen hope you said that three times not just the once?

[Mr Roper]

Gretchen said:

Same. Month off. New job today. Ten hour shift. Urgh.

Good luck, Gretch.

I'm having post holiday blues.

[DickyC]

TTers! We are going to have to do us one of those. Just Chinese hats to preserve our modesty.

[Mr Roper]

I'm game.

[Fishtigua]

No.

[ApOrbital]

Going to fix than perimeter and plant some land mines,huolongjing quanzhi taught me well >.<

[Mr Roper]

Just going through some emails and I've happened across one from a supplier confirming our flight to Milan on the 24th. I'd forgot about that.

3 days sightseeing and wine tasting.

Post holiday blues receding.

Careful with the landmines. We don't want hordes of do-gooders telling us we're barbaric. Better put up some warning notices as well.

[SWTH]

34hrs 43mins untl I leave this steaming cack-hole of an employer.

The temptation to do something silly tomorrow as I leave is immense. Rational part of my mind says no. Rather less than rational part says do donuts in the yard whilst holding a flaming tie out of the window.

[DickyC]

I've just checked. It's two chairs, one either side of the guvnor's door with the tie, threaded with donuts, strung between the chairs.

Then set the tie on fire.

The boss is attracted by the commotion outside his office but finds his way barred by something beyond his experience.

Be sure to have the Bewilder-O-Meter switched to register his reaction.

[leglessAlex]

Oh boy, MOT time

Really not looking forward to this, the front suspension is clunky as hell and probably needs looking at, I've been successfully ignoring all my cars problems for several months, would be a shame to spend money now...

[DickyC]

There you are! Don't tell us you've been hiding out waiting for bad news to impart.

[leglessAlex]

Nope, I didn't have internet for a while and don't particularly like browsing on my phone.

[DickyC]

"Browsing on my phone" is one of those phrases like "I'm on the train" which didn't exist until fairly recently.

Are you stting me with the elf n safety signs?

Will this do.

[leglessAlex]

Well, it failed but not so badly. Needs discs and pads which isn't so bad, should only be a few hundred quid. I was expecting worse!

[Adenauer]

Back

I need a holiday

[Zwolf]

Morning all. I trust we are all well.

Acksherly, I can remember using a payphone on a train once - ISTR it used those funny "phone card" things where the credit was erased by some sort of heat treatment as the call progressed. If I remember rightly, £10 credit got you just about enough time to say "I'm on the tr..." before it cut you off.
