Nothing as yet
I'm in a generally good and affable mood as I found out last night I got the gig I was holding out for.

Ta.
Better still, the old guy wasn't angry with me for turning down his gig. So everyone's happy.

Double woo!
He probably knows the score.

Not the music score, the score as in the music bizz.

Well, it turns out he had another bassist waiting in the wings anyway
He said he would have given it to me preferentially, but didn't seem too bothered when I turned it down.

*would not be entirely unfair to suggest that he's only 'laid back' after his fourth can of Kestrel Super*

At first I read that as "got the girl I was holding out for"
and was like "what Crow has gone back in the closet?!"

Don't worry Badger, I'm still in a physics department
The chances of there being any girls to hold out for are minimal. You may continue to mock my screaming bumderism.

Aren't the cleaners female?

Some of them are...as are some of the catering staff
I think there's potential here, to say the least...

Leave a ready meal for one in your bin just to let them know.

Ha! That's just daft enough to work
(Although, sadly, I wouldn't be the only person to do that. The difference is that everyone else would have done it because they are working through the evening due in part to the fact they have no life. And I wouldn't want my Eastern European cleaning psirens to get the wrong idea...)

If they're Eastern Europeans then they won't be that fussy. *grins*

Our place changed the cleaning contract recently
thereby ridding the office of the attractive, Polish cleaning workforce and replacing them with a bunch of munters from Scotswood.
