Be Excellent To Each Other

Bah humbug to you too, Scrooge.

Aren't any of your sockpuppets Christmassing up either?

That went ok. Although i suspect i might not go further for being too clever for the role as the man asked "why, with your education and experience do you want this role?" and looked genuinely puzzled that some guy in a pinstriped suit, white shirt and blue tie would want to work.

"Because I want money and work isn't exactly thick on the ground right now you fucking moron." "

Alternatively,

"I'm having a midlife crisis and the payoff from the sexual harrassment settlement at my last job is running out and it was this or McDonalds. I need to keep up appearances for the 17 year old cheerleader I'm chasing".

/waves to Riles

Is he lurking? Or chasing 17 year old cheerleaders?

Or is he here and I accidentally put him on supah-ignore?

He's too cool to post here any more, but too nosey to leave us alone

COME TO THE QUIZ, FUCK KNOCKER!

Riles? Cool?

MEGAHEH.

No shit, the account manager said "You've had a varied and chequered career to date, was it happenstance or planned to take the path you did".

I replied: "At a glance, it seems varied but using data and information... .(passim), I'm intrigued by the use of the word 'chequered', though, I consider it to be carry somewhat negative connations, that notwithstanding (anecdote about robots)".

"chequered"? 'marked by fluctuations in fortune'. Hm. Maybe, i still think it is the wrong word to use.

Luckily the next question was about my biggest weakness. <sighs>.

How did he know about the red shirt?

This one isn't.

Sony's credit rating has now been reduced to 'junk status' (and Panasonic's, but they don't make the PS3)

Why don't they teach kids how to drive at school?

Because it's expensive? And it would take a bloody long time to get through, say 120 pupils in one-on-one sessions.

Plus the playgrounds aren't big enough.

HBMC!

Also: nother job interview had today. Cited legislation and everything.

Hope it went well, sir.

Cheers boss. It felt well, but it depends on how good the other fucks are. There is another day of interviews on Thursday (more candidates, not a second round for me).

It's also actually useful

I don't think it would be that expensive (or take that long) if they did it four up.

They could put them through the theory test, at least.

Onnie picked a really shitty night to not sleep at all!

Some do...in a way. The school my nephews go to have a deal with a company to provide cheapo Driving Lessons to kids 15 and up on private land. This year I have been mainly buying lessons for them for Christmas and Birthdays and they've really enjoyed them.

Grim... approves. Also they should teach them about mortgages.

Maybe I should run my own school. Can you still do that?

Uncle Grim... 's Grooming School for potential rally drivers, potential hotties and potential code monkeys?

Sounds good.

Full scholarships available for those that tick all 3 boxes.

There is a letter from HR "just extending" my contract which needs to be handed over and discussed later on this afternoon. Should be a giggle.

I'm so excited by the Royal baby, I feel like I fucked her myself.

Indeed. This could well be a red bull evening.

Yeah, set up one of those academy things. The Government will pay you to do it!

Has anyone signed up for the "new" Myspace yet? I've just put my email in but I have no idea why? I think it's the "new" bit... That's what's got me.

On train to Redhill to present to the Data Committee.

Just realised that due to delayed trains I was in a rush and forgot to buy a ticket.

Ugh.

Where's my fucking forum snow?

I have family in Redhill. Check out the Beehive pub. I was walking to there when I got shot at. Or it could have been reigate. I forget.

Where's my fucking...

Um...

No, I got nothing.

There's your snow.

Ticket barriers at Redhill out of service! Result!

If I have to pay, I don't see why you can get away with it!

* reports Curio to the Rail Enforcement Squad *

Hurrah!

I still haven't had my email from Myspace.. Humph!

They will have sent it to your account on Geocities

Excellent! I'd best log in through Netscape.

Gold I hope ?

What's new about it?

Sell it to us dude, make us want it!

I have a spare £40* - what should I buy?


*Despite my telling them not to, my parents send me money every year for my birthday.

I don't know yet. I haven't had my email to sign up for it yet. All I can tell you is that it's new and it's owned by Justin Timberlake. I don't for one second think that's enough to convince you, but it's all I have to go on.

buy me lunch.

I've decided: carpets suck. Especially in winter when the ground is boggy/muddy and there are feckin' leaves everywhere that get dragged into the house. And most especially when you have big dogs and grandsons with little regard to the (tiresome) niceties of keeping them clean.

It doesn't help when you've opted for a stupid light colour carpet that shows up every last mark. Honestly, we get through more carpet cleaning machines (the heavy duty ones at around £300 a pop) than you'd have thought possible; the fucking thing is never switched off and weighs a ton.

So basically, being confronted with worn out, tatty, shagged carpets that were supposedly "hotel quality" yet again, after a mere 2 years, I've decided to rip the entire lot out downstairs (except kitchen, which has a stone floor anyway), and replace with aged-oak engineered board timber floors. Just had the quote and fallen off my chair, but fuck it. We can't go on like this; Mrs C's back is giving up the ghost with all this dragging that infernal machine around endlessly, and the house looks shite.

I thought JT owned part of Facebook? It was in that Social Network documentary.
