Morning all.
The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Public transport is working and the streets are still relatively bod free. Good times!

However, I have rubbish meetings this morning.

What has your day in store for you - good or bad?

Alt: Wine gums, fruit pastilles or fruit gums?
(, Wed 4 May 2011, 8:14, 193 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
Horrible exam that everyone failed last year - bad.
Revision class - bad. Waste of time.
Going out to dinner to a place I've been eyeing up - good.
Hoping it's ok, it's a bit of a way to go.

Alt: There is a place for both. Pastilles have the better texture though.
(, Wed 4 May 2011, 8:16, Reply)
Good luck with the exam.
I assume you have prepared for it as completely as is humanly possible?

Alt: Controversial.

I have very little work to do this morning, so I'm having to waste it on a project I've been asked to do - Bad
I'm cooking shitloads of lunches tonight, should be enough to last me ages - good.
I've got a friend coming over tonight, to discuss how much of a twat she's been recently, and hopefully we can sort out a few things so while she won't go back to being all 'happy happy', I can hope she won't be a pain in the arse - not sure whether it's good or bad yet.

I'm being contacted by people from my past today.
