I've got the day off, so no meetings at all either. I will be wearing one jumper shortly, but at the moment, 0 jumpers.
I have to have another look at my brakes today, thought it was fixed, but last night it started pulling to the left again under heavy braking. I hope it's not a cylinder problem. If I bring it down to you, will you fix it for me?

I am working from home waiting for the heating to kick in, hence the double jumper.
I'll have a look at your brakes if you like I am about as qualified as most Kwik Fit "mechanics" after all

I am wearing a T-shirt that says 'Don't need no credit card to ride this train' and I don't care how much Monty abuse that is going to cause me.
And I do have a meeting, since you asked. Apparently it's going to take two hours for them to tell me that I mustn't leave people's personally identifiable data laying around, keep it longer than is necessary for business purposes or send to external people who have not signed a confidentiality agreement.
Guess what? I already know that.

and in fact, probably don't want to bother with it either, but you know, covering their asses legally, and making sure if you do something stupid it's your fault not theirs. I always wonder about the people who do the talks are genuinely in to their subject like they come across, or whether they are constantly depressed that their area of expertise is pointless bullshit.

and his talk had some "interesting" anecdotes. I'd do that one again.

It would be the same message, just in 2 minutes not two hours.

Amazingly I also have no meetings today

I am not wearing a jumper.
This fact is sure to stimulate some lively debate.

However, after checking my calendar I have found that at 10am we have one of those pointless efforts where one of the directors does a 'Kirsty Young' and tries to point out that they're 'one of us' by sitting at the end of the desk and reading out productivity numbers as everybody gathers round indifferently.
They're calling it a 'huddle' *shudders*

I can therefore only conclude that you are a sock puppet.

I've misold your pondorous QOTW legacy, my apologies.
So what's up? What are you doing over here? Ready for some abuse?
( , Wed 17 Oct 2012, 9:25, Reply)

I'm here because I'm bored.
So bored in fact that I'd rather have you all 'out' me for being the outrageous shitcunt that I am, instead of doing my crappy job at the moment.
Is it pub time yet?

I have no meetings today. I may have an interview on Friday, possibly next Tuesday, just awaiting confirmation.

And my choices of music probably wouldn't fit in with the R4 crowd. Also, I don't think they'd let me tell them to shove the compulsory bible sideways up their collective shitter.
Other than those points, I'm available!

Word of twang club is spreading around this place, thanks to the promotional activity of anotherwanker.
Kirsty Young will surely be calling soon.

I think the guy/s that started TC should be the ones honoured. Mind you, Kirsty Young - would!

That should be doable.

I thought they sounded a bit like Carter USM (shows advancing years).
On another note, I firmly believe there are two distinct types of jazz - and they're both crap.*

where I was going to have to try and come up with some way of sounding like I've been very busy despite being in exactly the same position as last week's meeting.
But the boss is working from home today so it's been pushed till tomorrow and it looks like the idle feckers who've been holding me up are finally ready to move. \o/

I'm wearing a Tshirt. It's not cold, man the fuck up.
I have a lecture to give in about 45 mins and then that's it, schedule-wise. Sadly, not work-wise. Cuntflaps.

Also, Chemical engineering, bioprocessing, stem cell therapies, biological therapeutic drug production, and sustainability.

I am, however, having email arguments with some guy in the US over some mandatory web courses all our staff have to take, which don't bloody work. Apparently, despite the same courses working for some people and not others all of whom are running identical software, it might be a software issue and to try running the course in Firefox.
Unfortunately, we have 1600 people trying to take this course, it's not working for a small number of people and I'm fucked if I'm letting them tell me it's because we're using the wrong web browser.

I did have a band hoodie on because I am young and cool and street, but I took it of because it's warm here.
No meetings, I rarely have them as I work for a living.
