“20% of sick days are taken on Fridays…”
In which someone else has started a blog
“…this is clearly unacceptable”
That’s not a real quote, by the way. It was adapted from a Dilbert strip.* I’m sure people have used it and meant it at some point, though.
End of another week, and the start of another busy weekend. I’ve been going to so many different towns and cities lately, I should send back postcards from them all. This weekend, I’m off to yet another different part of the country.
I’ve become resigned to the fact that there’s going to be nothing on but football for the next month. Me and Big Dave might have our differences, but neither of us can stand football, and we’re both fed up of the World Cup before it’s even begun. More on this tomorrow.
Some interesting rumours are apparently going round the office as to what I do on all these weekend trips away I’ve been doing lately. They’re far more excited and lurid than the actual truth, so I can’t really be bothered to correct them all. Noone dares ask me, anyway. They all ask Dave instead, who doesn’t have a clue,* and that hardly helps stop the rumours spreading.
In any case, you can tell I live a decadent lifestyle. I had strawberries and cream for breakfast this morning. It doesn’t get much more decadent than that.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that one of the management has a blog now, and Sarsparilla said: “what if it’s better than yours?” Well, I’ve read it since then. And I know this sounds like I’m blowing my own trumpet, but it isn’t. In fact, it’s one of the most banal websites I’ve ever seen. I won’t be linking, because he does check his stats, but the design is terrible and the content is minimal:
Traffic home is still terrible, the town is full of traffic diverted away from Jameson Bridge St. Went to the Fox and Hounds after work, though – the grub is dead good, and I’d recommend it to anyone if you fancy a meal.
And that’s an entire day’s entry. I know this site can be crap sometimes, but … well, I now know I’m not the worst in the world.
* Dave might act like a womaniser sometimes, but he’s completely vanilla, and a bit scared of anything outside that.
