I actually hurt my left hand pretty badly yesterday whilst cutting down some trees. I was trying to thread the needle with one of them, a fifty footer, but I made a rookie mistake and ended up getting it hung up in an old beech tree. While I was trying to push it out of the beech, one of the beech's dead limbs fell off and struck my hand. I initially thought I had broken it, but this morning it's merely swollen and purple. There's a lesson in there somewhere, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

the lesson is that you suck at trees.

Something like that. What I should have done was taken down the tree to the left of the beech first, thus giving me a clear spot to drop the tree I was trying to take down in the first place. Bastard.

In the event of a zombie attack, I'm going to hang out with the guy who lives across the street. He's a survivalist, whereas I don't own any firearms.

He'd nail you before you got half way across the street. Survivalists don't trust anybody.

True, but he likes my kids, so at least the ralph gene pool would continue. I guess I'll have to fend the zombies off as best as I can with my axe and chainsaw.

So far every zombie outbreak has been neutralised (and covered up) by the WHO, but eventually - inevitably - there'll be a zombicaust. Do you think it will be as cool as the movies?

I didn't think you were allowed to cut down trees in the Disney forest? Thumper and Bambi are going to be coming after your ass.

My old man once took out 3 villages electricity cutting down a tree. It was great. A slow motion fall into electricity lines. Good old dad.

He used to look like Keith Richards and now he looks like Gandhi.

I had a quite a good weekend. Went to a job interview on Friday morning where I just kind of exploded in a torrent of utter fucking bullshit to the point where I began to wonder what the purpose of job interviews was. Essentially the job was way, way beyond my experience and probably ability and commitment, but I seemed to do a reasonable job of convincing the MD and the Chairman that I should be let loose on their marketing strategy. It was utterly ridiculous. The idea that after 18 months in marketing I was trying to convince someone that I'd be halfway capable of starting up an entire business development strategy for them had me alternately practically laughing at the ridiculousness of it and sobbing at the idea of actually having to deliver on anything I was saying. It was like I'd wandered into a parallel universe where I was smart and capable and qualified. Still. We shall see.

Hah. They said 'yes', incredibly.

Are you dead pleased then, Thorn? It is obviously a good time of year for jobs. Someone has just offered my husband one. Which is useful as I was going to murder/ divorce him on grounds of reckless fiscal irresponsibility. Although apparently for him to do the job he first has to be strapped into a helicopter and thrown into a swimming pool.

Not for me and my kind, is it a good time of year for jobs - it's quiet, and the few days that I've done this month have been long and cold, and left me in bed feeling like shit and with a sore throat.

Still at least I get to read fun stories like this:

smell the glove?

with great moments like this:

quote:
Mr and Ms Phelps were woken by the sound of a dog barking and came downstairs to discover Henson. In the struggle he stabbed Mr Phelps and tried to force his hand into Ms Phelps' mouth, shouting out: "By the power of Grayskull" - apparently a reference to a magical castle in the fantasy cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

lol - this guy didn't really do himself any favours in court:
quote:
He said if he had wanted to kill her his military training would have enabled him to do so in "four seconds". Addressing prosecutor Lynne Matthews he said: "I can take the palm of my hand and kill you by shoving your nose into your skull. That's a four-second death. If I wanted her dead, she would be dead."
And: congratulations, Thorn! Don't fuck up!

Yeah. I'm going to be in the London office until about mid-January, then move to Oxford. I'll be down in the big city about once a week, though.

Good for you, Thorn! Hmm, 18 months in marketing and you've landed yourself a hot-shot marketing job? I've been in marketing for 4 years and I really need a new job. Our entire management has resigned and my superior is a total wanker. I'm going to have to practice talking convincing bullshit...

Work has reached an all new low of depressing. Everyone is leaving the building and being reassigned. The permanent staff are never in the building so I am here on my own right now, oh and the only permanent position (which is double the money folks!) went to that nice soul Tommy who I work with. I've been chasing up a position at IBM that I'd shoot a man for, but I haven't been called back yet. It is so frustratingly bleak.
