morning

I'm awake, functioning, sitting in an hotel room with coffee and cigarette : any bets on my being at work on time?

Thinking about work, and a passing comment on TV jsut now that inflation is running at 2.9% and savings at 1%; makes my 0% payrise even more useful.

Thinking more seriously about looking for another job; even if it would mean having to arrive at the office on time every day

and found

This might be the best place to tell people I've found the power lead for my laptop and the little leather bag with the phone charger. Next to the books which were on the dining table last Saturday, and underneath Big Red.

I blame Mark (he's getting used to that) if he hadn't done the new man bit and made the bed last weekend, I might have chucked BR back on the bed, next to the teddy bear. Mind you, if my bedroom looked a little less like a rummage sale, I wouldn't have spent hours looking for them

Upside is that I've tidied up all sorts of odd places in the house and re-acquainted myself with the hoover as well

cheese! wrote this ages ago and just found it when I was closing the machine down. 'nother fast forward week coming up ....

Rammy 2010

I seem to have lost several days here, and have enjoyed all of them but been a bit lacking in time to post it for posterity ;

been on the go since ummmmm - a long time ago, and still in mid-go, all of it great fun.

Walking into Mark's pub about 7.30pm, being told he had been in, finding his hat and coat on a table which had two drinks on it. Barstaff were a bit offhand but then I was tired from work and not in sparkle mode. *shrug* the pub was quite crowded and it's a biggish table.

His coming back from the gents, giving me a quick kiss and immediately dashing outside for a cigarette did seem a little odd. More than a little odd when the girl I'd passed smoking outside came in to sit at the same table and kept looking at me. Wondered about that.

She turned out to have spent all afternoon with him. .

=addendum for the wider viewpoint

just as well she's my sister, we'd all had lunch together in Chinatown, we'd arranged to meet there, and to choreograph a massive wind-up on the pub.

Mark had told them K was an internet date, that I was working in Aylesbury, and generally collecting lad-points

He discovered his mates are rotten bastards who only laughed their socks off while he drama'd his plight

He also discovered K and I can do the drama thing quite well, which made him feel increasingly uncomfortable : I think he was beginning to wonder which reality was the imaginary one.

The pub was much entertained (and a little relieved I think) to discover they'd been had.
