long day?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 19:55, Reply)

Long month, man.
You know when you have a week off work and you go back and all you can think is "I cannot be fucking bothered"? I started my current job a year ago today and have hit the wall of malaise head on!

man that sounds epicly shit

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:04, Reply)

Don't get me wrong; I like the job and get on well with my colleagues (except the one who hates my flatmate
and wants him to get pig lurgy), I'm just finding it really hard to stay motivated.
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:09, Reply)

Too bad
Hols for me, from today, until Sunday 16th! From both jobs! Tee hee hee!

Having a fine bottle of wine right now then intending to sleep - a very lot - imminently.

Life swap?
I can have holiday and wine and you can answer emails in French. Though you must swap back before the end of the month because if anything stops me going to Paris I will fucking CRY.
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:09, Reply)

No.
Because I can't speak French and because I'll be at Headingley Friday - Tuesday watching cricket and I'm not missing that for anything.

And two of my mates are staying at Disappointed Manor for the duration so they'd be a tad surprised to see you.

Ah bugger. On to plan B then

Also
I get to play with my dogs for a few days - they've been a bit neglected, sadly.

Big big walk and a doggy swim in the canal tomorrow, I'd say.

Doggies?
Do tell. I likes doggies.

Flatcoats
Here they are:-

Not the best photo because Mr Brown has some slobber on his snout.

( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 21:04, Reply)

They belong to me, my Sister and her partner.
And they are smashers.

Brown is a big, in control, calm, placid boy.

Bootsy (the black one) is just a silly boy who wants to be fussed over all the time. It's hard to get a good photo of him as he is always squirming.

Mr Brown and Bootsy. 10 points for getting the origin of the names.

Er... I want to say Reservoir Dogs for one and am not sure for the other.
Can I use Google?
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 21:17, Reply)

Not that
Feel free to Google.

It's music.

I wanted to call Mr Brown Norman after Chris named Bootsy Bootsy...
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 21:30, Reply)

James Brown?

( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 21:44, Reply)

Well done.
And Bootsy Collins - the world's second best bassist (after Norman Watt-Roy, hence my short lived insistance on calling Mr Brown Norman).

Chris, my sister's partner, is a friend of Craig Charles and the dogs get mentioned occasionally on his 6 Music funk show.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 21:50, Reply)

A winner is me!
Also, even more win for knowing Craig Charles. I was never allowed to watch Red Dwarf when I was growing up because my father didn't like him :( fail.
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 22:04, Reply)

6 Music, Saturday evening.
Got to be listened to.

I've met him a couple of times through Chris and he's a good geezer.

Bedtime for me - very big, long sleep. Might join you for a bit tomorrow evening.

Toodle-pip.

Woo and yay!
Just like Paris, with less French people and more carjackers.

Wash your mouth out son.
Manchester is in Cheshire. Or Namibia. Or somewhere.

I don't care but I'm from Lancashire and that foul sewer of depradation is NOT in my name.

But you've moved to Leeds
And I lived in South London for a couple of years.

These things are acceptable. Manchester is not.

Take some bottled water with you. And some strong mints.

Do it!
Then come back and appreciate Leeds all the more.

I was born in Lancashire but I have to accept that Leeds is the best city in the North.

Maybe even the world.

Portland, Oregon comes close, but you're in a good place.

Cheese, Gromit!
I'm very sleepy and sitting at my PC wrapped in a fleecy blanket waiting for the oven to heat up. I really could do with a week off work since I'm stressed out with it all but this will not be allowed because we have too many emails to answer...
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:03, Reply)

How many emails do you get a day?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:05, Reply)

OVER 9000
or at least it feels like it! It's not as bad as it used to be, maybe about 20 a day including comebacks and we divide them between the team but loads of people are on annual leave so we're not meeting our targets...
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:08, Reply)

I complain about getting 3 a day

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:11, Reply)

Oh, I have some customers
who just make me go "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!" especially the ones who threaten to set the lawyers on you...
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:19, Reply)

Whats the most heavy handed threat you have recived from a customer?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:21, Reply)

YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL FAVOURABLY
OR I WILL COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTACT BBC WATCH DOG.

He didn't have a leg to stand on, and we politely told him so after he emailed us every hour on the hour...
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:25, Reply)

Why was he upset?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:28, Reply)

I forget exactly, but I think it was either damage to him or his property
and sadly nothing could be proved.
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:29, Reply)

Do you sell diggers?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:30, Reply)

No, but we sell very long trains if you've got a spare £24 million.

( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:33, Reply)

Sadly I do not.

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:34, Reply)

No train for you then, good sir.
Not even sure any of them are for sale! I can offer you a miniature squeezy version that is missing a wheel and lives on my desk...
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:39, Reply)

I has brownies!!
Not totally perfect due to forgetting that the baking tin here is larger than the one I have at uni, but still pretty good. Just waiting for the dough to rise so I can make cinnamon rolls, and waiting for the chinese I'm having for dinner to show up (the kitchen was too full of baking to make proper food).
Also removing all the flour from every surface in the kitchen since I fail at sieving.
I'm a domestic god me :P
( Tedium Alduce me to interlow myself., Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:09, Reply)

Brownies? Nom!
The best ones I ever made were individual ones in little cases and they had peanut M&Ms in them. They were like the best sex you've ever had ever when warm.
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:10, Reply)

I made some excessicely good cherry ones last year
Unfortunately they were for a cake sale, so had to sell them... Never made a batch quite as good.

Must make another batch when I get paid...

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:48, Reply)

I'm not being fun at the moment!
Out at a club last night. Spent most of the time just sitting and talking, not being very lively.
And texting someone, and quoting LC! at him. And being soppy.

I shouldn't be allowed out for my own good.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:55, Reply)

I'm being soppy at the moment, too.
Except I'm having to do it in between emails at work.

Also, you win for quoting LC! - when I get soppy I somehow turn into a lolcat...
( Maladicta, Tue 4 Aug 2009, 20:57, Reply)

Well, I was texting him, talking about when we're meeting up
(he's down in London at the moment) and he was going to bed. So I did the whole "Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks" then launched into what you know when the smaller picture's the same as the bigger picture...
