Today this could be
.....the most tedious day of my life.....

Today I have woken up with a knackered back at 5.45am, spilled my coffee and struggled into work to be greeted by a full day of interviewing Unix engineers for a new post here. Please regale me with tales of how much better your day is than mine

While a selection of dips goes great with 'sticks, I'll happily munch on them without.

How likely is it the bank would give me an overdraft?

You're a student.
EDIT - by which I mean, of course they'll give you an overdraft. And keep extending it on request until you are crushed under a mountain of debt, and you won't actually clear it until six years after you graduate.

i'm naggingly hungover
the greek restaurant owner LURVED my new flatmate and so my friend, flatmate and i got leathered with him last night. one of the waiters there is literally the hottest man i have ever seen in the flesh (we have decided he is so hot that he must be gay) and when my flatmate saw him for the first time, her jaw clanged onto the table, and her new york accent rang out a bit too loudly:

"oh my gawd, i would fuck him five ways til friday."
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 10 Feb 2011, 11:07, Reply)

It's actually quite offensive that you would laugh that off as some sort of amusing incident
if I said that loudly about a waitress I would not be at all surprised to be asked to leave the restaurant.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 10 Feb 2011, 11:11, Reply)

rubbish
if you'd have been there, the table would have fallen over as you got a massive stiffy. he is THAT hot.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 10 Feb 2011, 11:13, Reply)

He is probably so hot that he is a big spoilt baby and doesn't know what foreplay is
*prejudiced*
Our waiters last night were old scouse italians, who may have been hot in their day, but are now charmingly past-it.

Which is liable to make fuck all difference between work, Ballroom lessons and her teaching some soon-to-be-wed couples to dance, except that she's in a better mood than normal.

Alt Q - I'm going to have to side with the warm bread idea. Ideally with something that used to have a face in it.

I've mostly cut bread out of my diet
And have really reduced the amount of pasta I eat. Stir fries seem to be pretty healthy though.

But I didn't eat all of it, just felt guilty at letting it go to waste.

i like restaurants that have a bread menu
except that then you get totally torn between all the exciting breads, and just want to abandon the main course and eat the bread.

although the overall answer has to be hot french bread just out of the oven with real butter.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 10 Feb 2011, 11:51, Reply)

I like it when it's cooled down a bit, so that not all of the butter melts.

I have a work thing tonight
That means I have to squeeze myself back into my ten year old suit. I should probably look into buying a new one.

Anyway, in order to try to detract attention away from the massive rolls of fat squeezing their way through the desperately groaning seams of the suit, I have purchased a new shirt and tie. I have also buffed up my shoes to a near-military grade shine. The full military, weaponised shoe-shining will be done next week for the balck tie job. Mercifully, my DJ is newer and better tailored.

Oh yeah, bread's alright too.
