Hmm.. found out that our Christmas party is to be a masquerade ball this year. Think I'll stay at home.

Hmm.. the amount of stick I've had a work for deciding not to go to this has been surprising. At these functions I barely say a word so no-one would notice if I was there or not. I've resorted to telling folk 'I'll think about it'.

Clearly they disagree. At least it sounds like they are putting some effort in, ours are utter shite, and we don't have a team one as no one can stand our boss as he is an utter cunt.

people think I don't want to go because it's a masquerade.

What you should do is go to a big jolly at the company's expense and pretend that everything is OK.

Or turn up, get horrifically drunk, lech all the women and shit on the table. They won't ask again and it's their fault for insisting you go so they can't blame you.

No downsides that I can see.

We're not allowed a toaster at work and I want a toast sandwich :'(

Apart from getting fired, you mean?
Or possibly the shit kicked out of you by some other drunken fool?

toast sandwich?

Bread, butter, toast, butter, bread?

There are far too many Crasters in the wild

Mrs May, who is under increasing pressure over police numbers, is understood to have raised concerns about the cull happening this year.

Also celebrities including Brian May and Chris Packham are against the cull and the public outcry could make Mrs Spelman very unpopular – especially if police time is wasted.

There are far too many Crasters in the wild, doesn't help that you're a shape shifter either.

Well now I want to see the photos again of Young Craster.

applying a simple colour scheme and sticking a shitty graphic on the front end.

I've got some kitchen scales, and MrsA has some batteries. The kitchen sales say, on the back, CR2032. MrsA bought DL2032 batteries for them, and it doesn't work. Are those funny little batteries meant to have dents in the back, or are the scales just shot?

CR2032 batteries are the sort that used to go in Dreamcast VMU's. They looked like large, but thin, watch batteries.

That's all I can give you... sorry.

Scales are clearly shot, then. Stupid batteries. no cake for Malia.

True dat.

Well, Cow and Chicken and "I am Weasel" are on, anyway. Used to have a lot more good stuff, like Powerpuff girls, Dexter's lab...

I will run to work tomorrow in a continued affort to the possibility of having a dicky ticker.

Our xmas parties are usually pretty good (and the team ones too). I haven't told them the main reason I'm not going so as not to cause any friction (I'm not happy with the way the company is being run and with the people who are running it, so it seems hypocritical to go along to some big jolly party at the company's expense and pretending that everything is ok) so people think I don't want to go because it's a masquerade.

I'd use hot sauce instead of salt and pepper. A few drops from a big imported bottle from a Chinese supermarket probably wouldn't even affect the price, as well as being approximately as nutritionally worthwhile (salt, sugar, chilli, garlic and/or ginger if you're lucky. Not to mention the delicious MSG).

Turned my computer on this evening and got a message saying, "your computer has changed sufficiently to have lost its Windows validation, please revalidate within 3 days ... ." Now I haven't changed anything on the computer. Why is it saying that? I have run a ful virus check and found nothing. It is windows XP.

I dunno, you spend weeks working on something, trying to get it right, ironing out every last problem, staying up till gone midnight most nights working through various problems, hassling back office to sort their shit out. Then finally, finally you get it all working and the only time any of the people who asked for it feel moved to throw a sign of appreciation your way is because you spent ten minutes applying a simple colour scheme and sticking a shitty graphic on the front end.
