Friday Spend 11 hours travelling to location of conference near Lake Guarda (Italy), losing one colleague on the way after he has a fight with Valerie (most annoying + boring person ever) Conference centre turns out to be a kind of posh Butlins Golf based holiday resort 5km from Lake G. Have bland buffet dinner (this is Italy ffs! I was counting on the food being a saving grace). Bar contains a kind of karaeoke band doing ABBA and Tom Petty covers. Go to bed.
Saturday Get up very early. Attend seminars, poster sessions and meetings from 8.30am to 7.30pm (break for bland buffet lunch bearing strong resemblance to last night’s). Have conference ‘grand dinner’ = mediocre. Bar closed so everyone goes to bed. Stay up drinking leftover wine with conference organiser’s assistant, until she invites a group of Polish air conditioning salesmen to join us. Go to bed, snore with such gusto that Valerie goes and sleeps on the bathroom floor (highlight of weekend!).
Sunday Get up early, meetings and seminars until 2pm. Return to England. Wait for 60mins for small piece of luggage which was not allowed on the plane due to explosive toiletries). Get home 10.30pm to find Saturday night’s party still going and the hot water broken. Am assured by housemate that they haven’t made any noise (we are under threat of ASBO by the neighbour) and have cleaned up everything. These claims are clearly false. Drag massively drunk boy back to his place so I can have a shower and sleep.
Monday Return home before work to clean the house ready for visiting letting agents. Go to work. Sulk.

I can't stop absorbing pointless reading material on the net. For some reason, instead of using it for useful study, I can only read Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle FAQs and pulpy intros to muder trials:

I'm reading stuff I already know about early '80s computers thanks to the wonders of Wikipedia. I think I've finished the whole *x-entertainement site now. Later on, I might stalk the net for people I used to hate at school, and sign them up for gay porn e-mails.

When I was off work, borked, I read tonnes of wikipedia, vaguely hoping that my mind and knowledge would expand exponentially. I can't remember any of it, though I have a clear recollection of a interboard war I watched happen on a couple of other sites. This is rubbish. But not as rubbish as going to Italy and having shit food. I'd be well offended by that.

There is nobody.......nobody from my school that I am tearing at the monitor to find out about. All the people that I got on with, I still know of and anybody else all seemed to be......I don't want to say it, either fucking imbeciles or only just qualifiable as breeding stock.
Look, even after all this time, someone is picking on the fat kid:
quote: Name: John Park Nickname: Fat **** profile: Still a fat **** living alone! some thing don't change i guess! i now enjoy humpin cows as they seem to be more my size. that it for now will keep u all updated if i get to shag a real girl!!!!
I don't know whether I find that amusing or whether it identifies the level of mentality my school comanded. It isn't even dubbed a comprehensive. They called it a technology college.

LOL - my school is now a Business and Enterprise College. It's quite the thing, these days. Is yours also an Investor in People?

If a school has a specialism and is quite good, they now get a free sixth form. Which means loadsa extra cash. Hence the proliference of Business and Enterprise Colleges.
This is my least interesting post ever. And the sad thing is it has a lot of competition.

Yes - they also gets wads of capital, so specialist sports colleges get to build new sports halls, IT colleges get new IT departments with equipment etc. It's also something that positively influences OfSTED reports. so semi-pushy parents might be tempted to send their offspring there.

My best mate from school, who I hadn't seen for like twelve years, I found on Myspace. He lives one street away from me, but we never bumped into each other. His profile is well japagay
but there isn't anyone else at all from back then i'd like to reconnect with.

I met up with a couple of people from school who'd contacted my best mate through that school site thing friendreunited.
They spent the evening trying to prove that they'd grown up by talking about politics and crap, while me and my mate felt more and more purile. The night collapsed into angry silence when we asked what one of them was doing for a job, and after twenty minutes of waffle, we said 'so you're basically an admin assistant' which they took umbrage to (but also couldn't deny, so...)
there's one or two people I'm midly interested in, but that's about it.

Hungy are you? After all those apples? Well I...never. Well I do have more food in the basement, but I'm ever so tired. You could go and get some. Well I could get it for you but I can't reach the shelf with my bad back. Come on I'll show you where I keep everything.
