Spicks And Specks

Or I could have titled today bits and bobs, but feeling in a Bee Gee first Australian hit kind of title mood LOL.

Today at work was good - SGR said I was a 'wonderful, wonderful man' for putting together an Excel spreadsheet for her, she was stressed, having moving and boyfriend troubles, so that was nice, put a smile back on my face. Is batten down the hatches on the other side of my cubicle, LDU has had system issues since we upgraded the computers eight months ago, but the last two weeks just as she is getting the problems fixed they are getting worse, if that makes sense, and she is making sure everyone knows about it. It's obviously hurricane season in my part of the office LOL.

Also of note in the office today one of the guys had had chicken pox diagnosed since last Thursday and was still coming into the office - interesting choice, he has had heaps of sick leave already, but I think chicken pox is better fought at home than in the office. By having that discussion, it kicked off another argument about who was overhearing whom, hmmph, felt like the World War One trenches at that time, artillery lobbing overhead, sometimes hitting me LOL. Oh, and also discovered that I have my first younger boss than me in my life thus far, by only about four months, but still, it's the start of the slippery slope Pauly. Soon they will be half your age LOL.

Central Birmingham was evacuated on Saturday night - 20,000 people moved out of the pubs and clubs district while police did a few controlled explosions (false alarms though apparently). Britain is still very jittery it seems, even with the stiff upper lip fight them in Flanders and on the beaches we will never surrender attitude. No apparent leads on the perpetrators of the bombings, and the death toll is now around the 70 mark - the forensics effort is still going on, with a 'fingertip search' at the bus bombing, and the Kings Cross Piccadilly line still ongoing.

Grr, just had an argument with V - too tired to basically even think, just enough time to come back on here and press publish LOL.

Later gaters
