 Morning all
	Morning allI'm feeling the effects of the whisky I drank last night.
I've come to work before I woke up properly, just got up, showered and drove here on autopilot and am now sitting in my office thinking 'why the fuck did I come in? I'm sure I decided last night I was going to sack work off and spend a day in bed'
I wish I had your happiness and optimism k2K6. My mood is more or less the exact opposite to yours, and I don't think it'll improve as the day wears on.

My wisdom teeth fucking killed when they came through, I chewed off the flaps of skin as soon as I could, which after a short burst of extreme agony makes them far less painful!
Edit: Christmas cards (cards in general, in fact) are a waste of time, money and trees. I've got about 20 on my desk from work people, I've sent an email round saying I'm donating to charity instead, haven't decided which charity yet though.

 @BK
	@BKSome people's wisdom teeth take forever to appear. Three of mine came in within a week of each other when I was in my twenties. My dentist has suggested I should have them extracted because the impacted one may eventually decay and cause problems, but too many of my friends have experienced the agony of having them removed and that put me off!
So I figure I'll just wait until they do cause a problem, if they ever do, and suffer the consequences. It may never happen.

Then I realised that the crown on one of my teeth had broken off.
Then I realised that poking it with my tongue was a bad idea, as the taste of blood filled my mouth. Damn sharp bits!
So I phoned the dentist, and I've got an appointment at 11:50 tomorrow.
Which isn't bad really.
But it's gonna cost money to fix, which is rubbish just before Christmas.
So, someone cheer me up, you have five minutes.

clendrix that sounds like exactly the management style I need, anything authoritarian just makes me want to stick it to the man like the 60s revolutionaries I model myself on. Or something.
I've got used to the idea it'll have to be a shit job, but I'm working on the theory that a shit job in London will be one stage better than a shit job in a shit place, which is where I'm at now.
You can hire me to do everything, even including making all the tea, it'll only cost you £57k +bonus +car +BUPA, quite fair I think!
Dok - that is the secret, definitely! Looking really really busy when someone gives you something to do means you can look well impressive when you knock off b3ta for 15 minutes in the afternoon and finish the job. Of course time taken to do the job is inversely proportional to the seniority of the person who gives you the work.

I'm starting to get a bit concerned by the fact I haven't listened to anything apart from Tom Waits (well, maybe a bit of Nick Cave, but that's the same ballpark) for about a week now. It's what I feel like listening to though!

Been absent a few days, so here's what I've been up to:
* Had the work's xmas do.
* Caught the fever/flu thing.
* Stayed in bed all weekend.
* Drove to London last night to pick up a drum kit.
* Got stuck on the M40 coming back, had to take a detour through the Cotswolds in thick fog.
* Am still feeling rough, but can't take time off work due to caseload.
Which brings me to now, the first moment today i've been able to get onto b3ta. How are the rest of you beautiful people?

 Write cheques for the full amounts you owe people
	Write cheques for the full amounts you owe peopleAnd then post them to the wrong companies.
e.g. send company A's cheque to B, B's to C, C to A.
Obviously they won't be able to cash them as they're made out to the wrong company, so they won't find out the cheques will bounce anyway. Apologise profusely for your/your secretary's errors, and say that you're terribly sorry but you can't issue new cheques until you've had all the incorrect ones ripped into pieces and returned.
Not a viable long term plan, but it should buy you a week or two without looking like the sort of person that doesn't pay their bills.
