Now this day is really, *really* dragging

[Badgers]

Arrived just gone 12:00 and have been working quite hard.
This may be because I had a IT problem and no email or internet access but maybe I am just keen today?

A lot of companies are starting to give up on 2008 now so not gonna be much of a week I feel. Meeting at 11am on Thursday though which is good timing as I get another late start.

Have spent the entire day on the phone as the company phone system is fucked, cant dial mobile numbers

At one point phoned our suppliers who refused to deal with me as they seemed to think the main number and my number were nothing to do with them, despite them exisiting for several years...

*twitches*

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I've just fallen briefly asleep at my desk. Wake me up someone

 

[Badgers]

WAKE UP!!!!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I have stood in front of the fan heater for a bit and made a cup of tea in order to keep myself awake. If that doesn't work I'll have to get the newbie to slap me a few times

Anyone got a webcam with them so I can watch with a can of Stella?

let 2009 be the year the dragsters meet up

 

[sojourner]

let 2009 be the year the dragsters meet up

that'd be good

we'd probably have nothing to talk about outside of work though

 

[Badgers]

2009 will be a better year (ha ha ha) for us all no doubt

Half day is still dragging a bit but not too long now, just over an hour and then the hour commute home. Hopefully will return to a toasty warm flat and then cook a hearty dinner.

 

[Badgers]

Shake the crumbs out the keyboard, hide the dirty coffee mug in the top drawer and leg it out of the door.

3.5 dragging days of 2008 remain now

 

[sojourner]

Bye badjy! *waves at badjy*

 

[marty21]

i feel a bit weary, I have drunk many ales

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

wrong thread old son

 

[marty21]

wrong thread old son

doesn't matter which thread. the ale drinking remains the same

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

very true

 

[sojourner]

Still weary marty?

I have 'big meeting number 2' today folks, this affy at 3. Send me some good luck vibes around then would you?

 

[Badgers]

Actually woke today feeling fairly sprightly for some unknown reason. Perhaps it was due to the heating now working to about 60% capacity in our chilly little flat?

Arrived at work, ran superantispyware on every machine in the office then installed firefox on every machine just to make myself feel important and the saviour of the companies network.

Now I better make some calls, send some emails and do some filing

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I'm not sprightly - I am hungover .

Am trying to put a brave face on it but all I want to do is rest my face against the desk and ignore my thumping headache

And I have loads of filing to do

On the plus side the headache is taking my mind away from the cold and this is my last working day this week as I am off to Tallinn for a few days tomorrow. Yippee! Owww... that hurt my head.

i'm reviving - orangina is helping

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

coffee and pain au chocolat for me. feeling quite perky really, in a jaded kind of way

 

[QueenOfGoths]

The newbie wouldn't give me his Deep Fill Bacon and Egg Sandwich when I asked for it . I may have to bully him for it.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

stand behind him, muttering incoherently, with your hands on the back of his chair, looking vexed.

I do that anyway - he's closer to the heater than I am

 

[Badgers]

Might have my ham and cheese sarnie now.....

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Can I have it? I've got the hangover munchies

For some reason everyone is in a remarkably good mood in the office today which is unusual for us as generally at least one of us is pissed off/fed up or other

i have a turkey sarnie in my bag, I'm trying to last to lunch time, but i am weakening

 

[Badgers]

Not much left sadly

For some reason everyone is in a remarkably good mood in the office today which is unusual for us as generally at least one of us is pissed off/fed up or other

Our office seems to be fairly chipper so far.
Two people have come in with the worst colds I have seen for some time. They are being told to go home.....

I wanna cold now

 

[sojourner]

My daughter's got a humdinger of a cold at the moment, and has been sneezing the germs out at me at approx 360 mph. She's so thoughtful.
