I'm not working until the 4th of January, when I will be meeting Thiery Henry, cool!
I'm looking around at the house and thinking about how much I need to tidy up/do my tax stuff etc etc... It can wait until next year, surely?

moving companies and doing something different, on a six-month temp contract. I expect to get next week off and start the following week if they can sort out the paperwork when they're all back in next week.

I'm here. Busily making amendments to provider VAT details - Exciting!. I've had a cold for a fortnight, and I still feel awful. Can't hear, taste, or smell. Fucking Christmas. I'm always ill. So far today, I've already bought a book and a t-shirt on the internet. This kind of frivolous spending is indicative of a mind that has been backed into a corner, and can only engage with the wider community through the medium of money. I feel like I did in 1994. Grungey, ill, nihilistic. Bleurgh. I asked for a medium strength coffee this morning but he gave me a fucking double dose and my heart is straining to keep up with the demands of the caffiene. You could stop a door with the amount of paperwork I've got to get through here.
Anyway, my job is over in a month, but unlike Hippy, I do not have a new one to go to.
Congrats Hippy.

I am, though I have pledged not to post as a New Year resolution.
Bollux. Thats like breaking it already. Right, I'm sticking New Year Resolutions on my shit-list along with Crimbo and Children.

This year for NYE resolutions, I'm going to learn how to play chess, get a job (v. important), and film something. I've dug out my MiniDV camera and stuck it on charge, and the next phase is to film ANYTHING, then have a play on the PC to see if I can get it to look how I want. I'm assured by everybody that I'll be great at chess, but I'm not sure seeing as I can't get past level 15 of Advance Wars on the DS.
If I get a new job then I won't be posting on TMO. Any job that allows me to do so is eventually going to depress me. Chances are I'll just stay a temp forever, floating from one government department to the next, contributing nothing.

I really want to learn chess also, I've got two different computerised versions, and on the easiest setting on one I last about eight moves, on the other one the easiest setting is like playing against an idiot. Benway, if you want to email a couple of games or IM them I'll be up for it - I know the basics, just need to teach myself how to think beyond two moves.

Ok BtB. I don't know anything yet though, apart from the knight goes like 1-2 or 2-1. That's all I can remember from my Dad's half-assed attempt to teach me.

Crimbo with my delightful family has allowed me little rest or privacy for oooh about a week. I have had therefore no sechsual release whatsoever and it is having the same effect on me as Benway's caffeine hit. Actually, I lie, I did have an offer from an ex but I have been loathe to go there since I found out we were cousins.
I may well knock one off in the bogs here at work. What do you reckon? Is there a workwank ettiquette?

I hate New Year resolutions...mainly because I have nil will power and only end up disappointing myself with my own inadequecy.
I have kind-of resolved myself to give up smoking the evil weed. Something I've done before but never stuck to...
This time however I have a bigger incentive...Guilt...
Guilt that Ringo was a non-smoker for ages before he met me and now hes smoking again. Not really my fault as such, but I still feel guilty...

Maybe you could try and get him to have a beer every now and again, like real men do.

I'm working (as is froopy, too busy to post I imagine). I'm reviewing school district progress reports for my 'real' job and redesigning my photo webpage for my unreal job.
I suck at chess, but froopy's nephews have recently started playing, and I got one of them this bookwhich is supposed to be good for grown-up-type people too.

I've been back since Wednesday. The place is empty. Lights off. No one about. Yet I have to be here. Meh. Perfect time for some illicit TMO postage, but today TMO is dead. Typical. IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

I'm half here on TMO, half seriously considering buying a model kit for to make a gundam figure. I'm backing myself up with the comforting thought that I Am Not would probably approve, so it must be cool in some way. I can't stop looking at tat on the internet. Help!

What I don't understand about some of these mechs is why someone's gone to all the trouble of designing an armoured battle robot and then just given it an assault rifle. That's just stupid.

The last couple of times I went there, I would have this great time, and then all of a sudden, regardless of how hammered I was, I'd have this really lucid moment of seeing all these fucked up people spazzing out in the dark to a single *BFFF* *BFFF* *BFFF* beat, and then I'd get a sad feeling. All the pretty girls with half closed eyes and dirty bare feet were slouched and slumped over dudes dressed like they're about to appear on the X Factor. These days, if I take pills, I get a fortnight long comedown after only a few hours of feeling alright. What's that all about? Although I haven't had one for like ever. Ages. I can't remember the last time I took one.
In summary, I wish I could afford to go out and take a shit load of drugs at a modern dancing club.
