The Work Sandwich Bar
I quite often visit the sandwich bar at work, its pretty good and quite cheap. However, they really get on my nerves as conversations often go like this:
Cheesy BLT weidos and non-listening staff. Grr.
"I'd like a BLT baguette here with flora please" [I've been clever here, she always asks if i want flora, so I attempted to pre-empt the question]
"White or brown baguette?" [Doh, I forgot about that question]
"White please."
*lady fumbles with baguette and butter*
"Do you want flora?"
"Yes."
"Do you want salad with that?" [At this point I'm wondering if she knows what BLT stands for]
"Errm... Yes, anything is fine" [however, bacon and lettuice would be the traditional option here. At this point i'm starting to get a bit narked that there are so many questions]
"Would you like cheese?" [at this point i'm rather confused, as I don't think there is a letter "C" in BLT?]
"Umm no thanks, does anyone ever have that?????"
Cheesy BLT weidos and non-listening staff. Grr.

Things I pass on the motorway
Strangely, I seem to pass the following things quite regularly on my way home up the M5:
Are we sure this isn't the trueman show?
- Two Airbus lorries in convoy
- A large open lorry with a load of green wheelbarrows on it
- Two sections of a prefabricated house/building, again on two lorries in convoy
- The man with glasses, large grey beard driving a diesel blue 206 estate

All change
Well, there we go, most things are now different. New job, new car and potentially new location, but that's going to take a while.
New job is certainly different, its strange to leave you first place, and especially so since you have worked there most of your current working life (both before and after uni). Anyway, i'm commuting 110 miles a day, which sucks, so a better solution needs to be found for the medium term. That brings me to the car... A 2004 Seat Ibiza Cupra TDI - :oD
Anyway, as I have to get up at stupid-o-clock, its time for me to get some sleep.

Johnny Cash
One of the things that frustrates me when it comes to his music, is my voice isn't quite deep enough to keep up... Perhaps more cigarettes and whisky are in order. Then again, perhaps not.

Pro-life Zealot Refused Treatment
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/4750647.stm I completely agree with the stance of the hospital on this one. I'm sick of single-issue zealots getting away with abusing and terrorising innocent staff who have contraversial jobs (such as those animal rights people who descicrated the grave of the relative of a guineau pig farm owner(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/4971988.stm)).
I can't see how this sort of behaviour can help your cause. Fuck you all, you disgusting wankers. At least its finally acceptable to stand up to these people.

Bored now...
I'm now completely bored of this cold which I guess sort of started on thursday as a bit of a sore throat. I've actually got lots to do by friday and can't really afford another day off work.
Oh well, found a useful website last week, if you ever find yourself wanting graph paper.
Weather is improving, and tomorrow looks like it could be the first shorts contender of the year - yay :) Unfortunately, its probably not the best idea if I'm ill...

Hmmm
Well, its the end of my worst day at work for quite some time. Lots of perfectly formed mountains from molehills just due to people not realising that they were playing chinese whispers.
Anwyay, its left me wondering why I always seem to have to work so hard for what other people seem to get to fall in their lap without trying?
Anyway, I seem to have sold my powerbook, which is nice. I have other stuff that needs shifting too... Anyone want an ADSL router?

The Weather
Ok, that's enough now. Completely sick of it being cold all the time. Bring back the summer.... We've all had enough.
Anyway, one thing that I've noticed that in winter I don't seem to look at the weather forecast. Perhaps I just don't want to know at this time of year.
