by finishing work at any time up to 2am (last night was 1.30am) and checking my blackberry at numerous times during the night
get up at 6.30am, check the blackberry, shower, check the blackberry, clean teeth, check the blackberry, moisturise, check the blackberry...

work - i was busy anyway but have just been given a massive trial to prepare for. it's in 2 weeks and i haven't even seen the file yet. luckily the clients we were taking out tonight have cancelled. so an exciting evening of reading files awaits.

clothes - black sky-high shiny heels, black opaque tights, short "ice-skater" flippy black skirt, fitted black and white stripy top, and a massive frown.

I was going to suggest
frown wide-on

...but considered it too rude, so didn't.

Ah.

You considered it too rude?
YOU considered something TOO RUDE.

I might just keep repeating this with the emphasis in different places until it computes.

My gas and electricity supplier.

EDF rang me yesterday to ask why they don't supply my gas as well as my electricity
it was about 11am on a monday. and he sounded very surprised when i said i was too busy working to take his call. you know, working. it's how i pay your sodding bills every month, so that they can then waste my money by paying your salary to call me and waste my time...

argh. anyway, the answer "british gas owe me £1,000 in overpaid gas so i am letting them work their way through it" stumped him.

TalkTalk sent me £42. Woo fucking hoo.
Apparently I'd been erroneously charged due to an 'isolated' 'system error' - nothing to do with the incompetent 12-year old Indians that are their billing and customer 'service' staff, then. Good to know.

In which case maybe you'd like to take part in the Robin Hood half-marathon in Nottingham this year
The reason being, it's on September 11th. So I thought it might be fun to run it dressed as a skyscraper, alongside someone else in an identical outfit, being chased by a couple of fellows dressed as planes.

Good idea.
Apart from the running. I am retired.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 8 Mar 2011, 10:20, Reply)

that is an incredible idea
I'd almost take part in a half-marathon just to be part of that
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 8 Mar 2011, 10:11, Reply)

I cannot stress strongly enough
that although the outfits are where it's at, the dynamic will be ruined if we all pull up short of breath after 500 yards. Hit the treadmill

I can practically guarantee that some sociopath will complain about that.

I think we'd probably set a new record for running a half-marathon dressed as a skyscraper

Top idea
It's about time the worlds of performance art and middle-distance running collided

nope
this top is quite high necked really.

not normally a good look with big boobs, but it has a bit of a keyhole dip going on, which makes it ok.

In blatant defiance of the stereotypes surrounding me,
I have no idea what any of that means
