Yay!
Jelly and ice cream later? And perhaps a magician?

Had a miserable bus journey into work today. Not due to traffic, but because a scrotty school kid who clearly has yet to learn about deodorant (and shaving) sat next to me. And the bus was full so there was nowhere to move to.

Thankfully someone else on another seat was over-perfumed so as long as I kept looking in that direction I could occasionally breath.

Gah, I'm getting old.

It must be quicker to drive to the Park and Ride and bus it from there

Perhaps. But I currently view changing a mode of transport as another layer of faff in the morning. When the railway line reopens as far as the park and ride, I might consider cycling in.

Drive to PnR and cycle in.

Adobe Reader Touch is the biggest pile of screen I've ever seen in my life. Fucking useless shit.

Oh, and I've got a new Win 8 laptop with a touch screen. It be nice. And cheap.

That scrote sat in front of me today. Mercifully someone on the other side of the bus got off at the next stop so I could switch seats.

Bring back National Service! That'll teach that boy how to wash.

Is it pub time yet? I really can't wait.

Just got to get through today and then I'm off.

Office Christmas Party tonight. We're getting a "Party bus" there and drinking Fizz on the way.

It can only end well.

Having said that, at the last do I fell asleep on the train on the way back to Warrington and woke up in Liverpool costing me £45 in taxi fares so I have a benchmark to surpass there.

The party bus is coming
And everybody's jumping
New York to San Francisco

Drove over Holme Moss last night. There's still all the writing on the road from The Greatest Day of 2014. Anyway, where it meets the Manchester Road (after I'd been over and diwn) There were barriers and flashing lights saying the road was closed. I thought it was quiet. Anyway, is there a list of closed roads?

Happy Mimi day Birthday girl, hope you have had a great day.

Thank you both! Yes, it's been a good day. A tiring day, which usually means it's been very good or very bad! And I saw the travelling Santa Shed, so obviously Christmas is now well and truly here!

Great game trailer, Behemoth. You made me want to play a game I'd already played a demo of and then didn't want to play.

I'm not sure I want to play the game, but I've just rewatched the trailer a couple of times

The police have shut off the road and a helicopter just landed. Judging by the ambulance bouncing up and down it isn't looking great for someone in the 3 car crash.

It's around this time of year that I am constantly reminded that I really suck at wrapping.

Working over Christmas is great, you loons. The commute is better, you get to have long lunches and leave early, less people bother you, and you get to play Quake 2 at lunchtime.

Some of those might just be me.

I don't mind it too much either, it's even better if you book some time off in early January when everyone at work is miserable as fuck.

I break up on Christmas Eve, so have christmas day off, and then through to the 29th, but I'm pretty much teh luckiest inmy team as most people are in one or two days in that same span of time.

It's a really nerve-wracking time of year for me. I wish I was bored, but with reduced deliveries and certain product sales that sky-rocket I hve put a LOT of stock outthere and I am therefore now just tryingt o hold my nerve with my calculations. The numbers look scary, so it's kind of do or die. I wish I could relax a little but it is nervy!

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2014 14:43

It's OK. I am eating crisps (Guiness flavoured) and wine gums.

I'm imagining that it is actually Guinness and wine.

i wish i were drunk.

I have made a round of coffees and eaten two Curly Wurlys.

Stress has never been so dull.

It's just waiting, now.
