Lame
I'm still ill. Had to come into work though, as if you are off for longer than 5 days you need a note from the doctor, and the crazy deaf doctor I saw couldn't really put a finger on what might be wrong with me.

I'll be fine as long as I can get through the day without anyone talking to me. Seems unlikely though.

How are you?

Struggling with school.
School are being cunts. The higher ups at least.
I hope you feel better soon though - being sick is no fun!
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 27 Jul 2009, 8:51, Reply)

most people are cunts
for instance, I've been off work for a week and someone, or some people, have stolen both of my clicky pencils. Fuckers.

That's worse than being ill. Fortunately I don't feel too bad today, just kind of dazed and like I'm wrapped in cotton wool, which I can deal with.

what problems are you having with school?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 27 Jul 2009, 9:03, Reply)

Stealing clicky pencils is just low
When I'm off for any time I always lock my desk drawer to prevent that sort of thing. Of course that doesn't work if I'll ill, because usually that comes on without warning.

Whenever I come back from holiday I've come to expect to see my desk stripped
Nobody steals my electric stapler though. On pain of pain.

I knew you'd understand
I'm tempted to send out an email, but there are only really a few people who are likely to have been to my desk and I've asked two of them already and they deny all knowledge.

Feeling the lack of sleep
My cat is getting on and is apparently senile, so I got woken multiple times in order to show her where her food was.

5 days!
3 days over here...

Wonder what the European standard is?

Yet another reason to vote 'No' on The Lisbon Treaty.

The Irish Government are the biggest bunch of lying thieving cunts in the universe - really, your infrastructure/living standard is opulent by comparison.

That's rather rough.

It's quick likely you could be off for three days with a bad dose of the shits.

Feeling somewhat better than expected for a monday
I'm not tired, breakfast (green tea, a grapefruit and snus) went down and isn't wanting to come back for a encore, and what was threatening to turn in to a cold has now buggered off. And next week is the start of my holiday, which is even better!

My one complaint right now is the huge fuck off ulcer I have on my bottom lip (probably for being such a smug cunt). Recomend many vodka and cokes for getting through the cold.

snus?

I read it as 'anus' first time!

Exactly right
Mmm. Yummy nicotine.

Although I'm not averse to a lightly fried anus first thing on the weekend.
(Potty Jag har smör i min rumpspringa, Mon 27 Jul 2009, 9:18, Reply)

and K- I read it the same way. :)

Every time I get the slightest bit run down
I get them. At least this one is at the front of my mouth, the ones atd the back are the worst. They mean I can't put things in there properly.

I'm good thanks.
I could have done with a couple more hours in bed and it would be better if it were sunny, but for the first time in a while I actually feel good today.

I boned another chicken for curry yesterday. I'm getting rather good at it, and I'm constantly amazed how much meat I can get off a five quid bird.

I feel pretty slow this morning.

I'm FUCKING AWESOME.
Had to work on Saturday, but I'm off for two weeks now.
( Cawl, Mon 27 Jul 2009, 9:57, Reply)

Are you going to

a) Use the two weeks for cultural and spiritual enlightenment

b) Use the two weeks to bum around eating shit, going to bed at 3am and getting up at 1pm.

c) Wank
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 27 Jul 2009, 9:59, Reply)

Mostly option a), I guess.
I'm off to Wales to stay with my girlfriend for two weeks.
( Cawl, Mon 27 Jul 2009, 10:03, Reply)

I guess c) was in the run up to the visit then
due to the long distance

Fortunately no
2 weeks of work, a trip up North and a trip to a place near a castle I failed to visit once. Oh, I'll be dressing up as a gnome too.

Actually it should be a good couple of weeks so long as I can figure out when I can make it to the Banksy exhibition (it closes 31st August).

Oh, my goodness!
I shall have to head down to that some time then!

The problem is I'm unlikely to make it down there on a weekday which means queuing for ages =/

( Cawl, Mon 27 Jul 2009, 10:12, Reply)

It opens at 10
So it'd most likely mean hanging around for ages before it opens. I'll have a word with CHCB as I think this weekend is the only one I'll be in Bristol long enough for us to go.

I walked past there on Saturday afternoon
at 3.

There wasn't a queue.

we can queue early on Sunday maybe.
unless we get back from Ireland early enough next month.

I'm in a tiny airport in Sweden waiting to board a tiny plane to Amsterdam. 6hrs of travel ahead. At least it's not Ryanair.
