Anyone near Victoria? Rumours of offices being evacuated.

:DD
Is that really what happened?

IT folk, eh...

1. Fucking hell. Whatever I say to the people wielding scissors, I always end up with a short back and sides. I'm going to look like a schoolkid going on work experience tomorrow.

2. And it cost me £6.50 for a haircut.

I paid a tenner in Bicester, and that was always shit as well.

My haircuts have improved noticeably since I started paying £26 rather than £8.

The last hair cut I paid for cost me £86.

So... I'm gonna try my best to do fuck all today.

Who's with me?

I have loads to do. Fuck. Stupid work, getting in my way.

I'm with you there Davpaz. I've only just got out of bed and I'm supposed to be a client at 9.

I think this is the earliest I've been excited for Christmas in my life.
First one since I moved out of my parents' as well.

I want to get a tree already!

That reminds me. I need to embark on my annual quest to find a set of Christmas cards that are both tasteful and cheap. Wish me luck.

Fuck me what a day. Sat there this morning doing some last minute tweaks to a system I've been putting together (it's to allow our hospital doctors to securely send patients GPs a summary of their stay in hospital together with a list of any meds they might need, quite a big deal as these sorts of things go it needs to go through several staff groups before completion). Anyway an hour to go and I'm just ready to make the final changes to the system to allow all the right people to do all the things they need and swap over to the list of GP email addresses when POOF my laptop just goes off. Reboot it and I'm presented with some Spackafee screen. Some belmer in back office had accidentally pushed their drive encryption software out pretty much across the network. Problem is nobody now had the requisite credentials to be able to access their own PC Anyway you'll all be thrilled to learn that I finally got the system up and running and everyone was so thrilled with it that a vast crowd soon gathered outside my office and wouldnt let me leave until they had carried me aloft on their arms, chanting my name.

I'm too cheap to get a beard trim at the same time, so I have to remember to clipper it myself before I go the barbar's, else I end up looking silly. The one I usually go to has never been the same since the hot young female Polish hairdressers left....

I just wrote a bloody essay for my child's homework, and by essay I mean I copied what it said about tinsel and concrete from wikipedia and put it in small child language ( I explained what it all means so she understands). They gave her a week to do it and she was ill for 5 days of it but the teacher said she had to do it anyway or face detention, seems a bit off to me to give 7 year olds essays to do - it's the head teacher's new thing this year and it's pissing everyone off. They have to read three school books per week, which is fine up to a point* she does that anyway but then the parents have to write in the book and question them about whatever dull, politicly correct, unfunny, unexciting shit that happened, also they do spellings each night and on top of that they get a big weekly homework project and daily homework. On Halloween she had to write a damn play for the next morning. *the books are too easy for her, I told the teacher and she said they were "at her level", which worried me because surely you should be challenging them with words not giving them something they know they can already do. Anyway I am rebelling and putting down what she is really reading at home instead, screw biff and whatever that dog is called and the boring stolen food, she really reads winnie the pooh, blyton and the rest of the good stuff.

I used to cut my own hair. I just love the feel of having it cut. I rarely get pampered, living my Valhalla Rising-like lifestyle, so I take what luxury I can.

I pay a tenner, but I've moved to a hairdresser who works from home so doesn't have the same overheads. Were she to work in a proper salon/hairdresser thing, I'd be paying £30-40 and worth every penny.
