It doesn’t feel like it was a mere three and a half hours ago that I left work. It barely feels like I went to work today not in that blah blah blah I don’t care kinda way but just in that distant memory kinda way.

The reason? I have no doubt you have guessed. I walked up to High Street Kensington after work and top shelf of WH Smith were lots and lots of West Wing box sets for a mere £27.99. It is quite amazing (and somewhat sad) that such a small thing cheered me up no end. I came home put my bag down put the first disc into my dvd player and well 3 episodes later here I am. I’ll be watching at least one more tonight but I suspect I will break down and start on the next disc aswell.

Tomorrow morning I have to go see my bank manager. I rang up earlier in the week and asked to speak to someone for a quick chat. Why I hear you ask? Well, it occurred to me that I have never told them about my salary changes since I moved over here and seen as that was over two and a half years ago and my salary has increased by quite a lot since then it seems like a good idea. I also want to mention the word mortgage and see what her reaction will be. I am not optimistic.

So I went out at lunch figuring that I may aswell go £40 overdrawn and pick up West Wing today so I’ll have something to do tonight and seen as I would be spending the exact same money tomorrow. No-where had it, I was not impressed. I will have another quick look after work but 🙁 Maybe somewhere in town will have it.

Works going ok today, I have something not uncool to do and its working out well so far. 🙂

Its the end of the world as we know it

An asteroid discovered just weeks ago has become the most threatening object yet detected in space.
A preliminary orbit suggests that 2002 NT7 is on an impact course with Earth and could strike the planet on 1 February, 2019 – although the uncertainties are large.
Astronomers have given the object a rating on the so-called Palermo technical scale of threat of 0.06, making NT7 the first object to be given a positive value.
From its brightness, astronomers estimate it is about two kilometres wide, large enough to cause continent-wide devastation on Earth

Most excellent dude 🙂

I have a question for you.

What is the worst thing you have ever done?

You just think about that. I can’t find the code to place a text box anyone can post to here and I really can’t be arsed to put a comments system on just for this. So if you have a blog, go blog about it.

oh and do you regret it?

A slight colour change because I feel like it. One day soon I will actually sit down and put some effort into this. Perhaps a quiet evening in Dulles would be ideal.

Fuck sums up the thoughts I can share right now…I think I’m gonna go downstairs and blow some shit up in GTA 3 on the PS2

Two things

1) Things are getting to me far more than I thought they were.
2) Things should not be getting to me this much. I don’t like it at all, in fact I hate it.

None of the problems at hand are insurmountable, most are in fact quite minor. However each and every single one of them is a hassle that I either have to deal with or affects me. They could all turn out really well, one of them is redoing a lot of work but it is more than likely a good thing.

I need something to read. I’m reading A Star Called Henry at the moment and its just not doing it for me. I’m in the mood for something sexy is the word I’m looking for I guess. I can’t think of anything else. I want to read the next American Psycho or Fight Club or God is a Bullet . Something raw and powerful with one hell of a fucking story behind it.

I do note with some happiness while browsing Amzon, Tony Hawks has a new book One Hit Wonderland coming out next week. Perfect flight material.

Fuck it

I could so do without this shit. All of it. I’m just sitting here thinking is it worth it? I mean really is it worth the hassle its causing?

godman motherfuck I just lost my entire post.

FUCK.

I am not happy, yet again I’m going to be leaving work in a bad mood and I’m so coming to the conclusion that it is all just not worth it.

FUCK. I hate this.

Esquire in the US have an “exit letter generator” here, I clicked on it from MetaFilter and the last question on the page made me laugh enough to note it. “The name of your boss’s spouse:”

I have to wonder

There would appear to be a new list of email addresses going around. It happens every now and then. Because of who I work for, “hackers” assume I have some sort of access rights which they want to be able to use. Every now and then they will managed to get a listing of current email addresses and they send you spam. Normally it is something like you must click here to keep your account active!!! and this takes you to a page which asks you to enter your password and other security information. I’d say we all know better than that but we don’t 🙁 Most people do and it is rarely a problem. There are times when people with high level access rights get stung but I’ve only heard of it happening once and it wasn’t me.

Lately there is a change in the spam, while there is still quite a few mails like the above, there is a hell of a lot (12 in two days) of people posing as customers and complaining about receiving threatening instant messages and asking what to do about it. Now see I don’t get the point of that at all. What I get even less and what has been all of my 5 mails today is a “customer” having received an im with a thread to blow up one of our buildings that they just happen to be in but don’t know what to do about it.

So tell me something…what is the point? Lets say I respond with the correct phone number to dial…what exactly does that do? How does that help you in anyway? I reply and give you a phone number that the term widely available does not even begin to cover…how does that help? What possible use is it.

Ok I guess it is suppose to be used as a way of setting up a contact, but I mean for fuck sake. You want to talk to someone at this company so badly your going to fake a bomb threat?

Jasus some of you fuckers really need to get a life.
