Hello all. It's a long time since I've been in here. Very smart.

Sorry Lib - I was enjoying a bacon sandwich...

[UK] I'd have thought you'd have a bit of a sore head!

[Lib] Well, fortunately it hadn't been cooked too fiercely. But getting the grease out of my hair is going to be a bind...

It doesn't matter how sh*tty the week has been , Friday always lifts the mood, doesn't it? Anyone know of any nice jobs going for someone bossy, intelligent and good at news writing? CV available on request. And The Dutch Miller is coming over again next weekend, :o)

Oh, and a lovely bit of spamming, which is a natural glow-worm or something: "ON fenugreek do maladroit.."

[pen] I think the next line is "beware the Jabberwock, my son!"

Morniverse seems slow today, or am I just toooooooo bored at work?

(UK) Not just today, either. The place seems infected with a kind of ennui. It'll pass, no doubt.

[Rosie] Well, I was hoping that someone might guess my AVMA before I left the office today, as I may well not be back online until Monday morning.

It's always very slow on Fridays. In fact I recall it being even less busy last Friday. Not that I check in here obsessively the whole time, of course.

Saturday was a non-starter.

There was an article in the paper a day or two ago about how boring and irksome working life has become even for people in well-paid professional jobs, what with vast amounts of form-filling and other pointless paperwork, meetings, meetings about meetings etc, etc. The way this place livens up during working hours shows how true that is.
