A hoy hoy
I am all better ... well, mostly, anyway. Went back to work today and spent the day catching up on all the really boring stuff I'd missed, and that email about the guy who tried to pay a bill with a picture of a spider is doing the rounds.

Now, tea and blanket and internets.

Oh yay!
You must be so relieved - now you can stop building the house and just enjoy it. And your Chinese sounds nom :)

I think a couple of days off...but there's still a fair bit to finish.
But on a lighter note...
Sesame prawn toasts
crispy pork ribs Peking style
crispy duck pancakes
chicken chow mein
Singapore fried rice
veggie spring rolls

looks like it'll be a cold Chinese buffet for lunch tomorrow ;-)

I think I may have to give in and have some.
I can't be arsed to cook and technically I'm still ill, damnit!

Evening B69
So is the house completely finished or are there still things that need sorting out?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 19:59, Reply)

Still to finish...
Some electrics

painting
boiler

Evening M
Any chance of sharing with those of us who don't have an office Internet-forwarding culture what this email is all about?

Glad you're feeling better.

This dude doesn't want to pay his bill,
so he draws a crap picture of a spider, values it at the amount of money he owes, then when told it's not valid payment asks for it back. Then he complains that the spider has only 7 legs and he wouldn't have drawn an inaccurate one, so it's not his spider. He adds another leg to it and sends it back, then when told off again apologises, asks for it to be sent back and agrees to pay in full.

His Out of Office is this:

Subject: Automated Out of Office Response

Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Regards, David.

alright mistaspakkaman
I'm quite tired and I wish I truly were at home with a book, cuddled in my bed
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 19:52, Reply)

alright kristine

( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 19:54, Reply)

Alright Mala-dick-tater

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:41, Reply)

Now that's a new one :)
How are you love?
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:45, Reply)

oh I'm kinda like crossing my legs and squeezing my thighs and wanting to smash stuff and getting huffy and shouty
you?
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:48, Reply)

Why's that? Doesn't sound good.
I'm waiting for pizza to arrive and getting my head around living on my own... also gone back to work today after an epic cold and a day and a bit off. Still not done my application for the promotion.
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:51, Reply)

I need a wee, I'm aroused and people are generally just getting on my nerves today. There has been MEGA eye rolling today.
Ooooh you'd better get on that, don't want it to pass you by!

Do it right now before the pizza gets there.
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:54, Reply)

Sounds like me at work.
I'd have done the application yesterday had I not been sick; I've literally just realised it closes on the 24th, gone "shiiiiiiiiit" and started frantically filling it in!
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:05, Reply)

Yo Kristine
Usually when tired at work, I just think about the bed. The book can come later.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:04, Reply)

Reading anything at the moment?

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:24, Reply)

Evening W
Since I finished Homeward bound (which was the last in the series of 8 books), I've not found any dead-tree based reading-material to fill the void.

You reading anything interesting?
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:31, Reply)

Try some Charles Portis
His most famous book is True Grit - which subsequently got cowboy-Hollywood-ised featuring John "KKK" Wayne.

Don't let that put you off. True Grit is a fantastic book.

I'm re-reading "Dog of the South" for probably the fifth time and it's still fresh and very funny and wry.

Mainly the free papers on my train ride
But I did enjoy the latest Pratchet, and '50 ideas you have to know about physics'

I'm asking for Unseen Academicals for Christmas.
Saw an ad for it on the Tube the other week and spazzed very hard in front of the colleagues. They now think I'm even more mental than they did when they learned sending me an email that says "RICK ASTLEY" will reduce me to hysterics.
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:49, Reply)

I tend to think about sex a lot when I'm at work.
I have no idea why.
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:43, Reply)

It's because you've got a pulse.
Happened to me a lot at work too today.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:46, Reply)

really?
It happens to be that around 2pm I get all hot to trot and it lasts for a few hours

it's not just me, then?
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:50, Reply)

With me, it can happen at random times of the day.
But today, my text-message traffic was particularly sexy, so it was more intense today.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:59, Reply)

Because sex is a million times more fun than work, regardless of your job.
Unless you're a hooker.
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:05, Reply)

correct
One of the ways your body tries to defeat boredom is hornyness
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:13, Reply)

Then I must be near permanently bored.
Just sayin'.
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:27, Reply)

have a boredom wank then

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:28, Reply)

Now that would go down badly at work!
My office has glass walls.
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:32, Reply)

If that was the cure for workplace boredom
there'd be a massive queue for the toilets. Our office has inadequate toilet facilities, but thankfully, we're stimulated enough to fend off boredom.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:33, Reply)

Now when you say 'stimulated...'

( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:43, Reply)

Our desktop wallpapers are stereogram-pr0n

So wanking has double the likelihood of making you go blind
at your place?
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:53, Reply)

It does
But thankfully, wanking opportunities at my office are few and far between. And besides, blindness at my workplace is tolerated less than at other places.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 22:03, Reply)

Depends how arousing your day to day work is, I guess.
On a scale of 1 to 10, where one is Michael Winner and 10 is [insert your own personal sexiest thing ever], my work is -over 9000.
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 22:06, Reply)

Evening K you ok?
Shall I make you jealous by telling you I spent most of today sleeping?
After all the work i felt no guilt for a day of sloth ;-)
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:10, Reply)

no I'm quite grumpy
and it wouldn't make me jealous as I don't like lying in bed all day, in fact after I wake up I have to get out of bed otherwise I get a headache.

I'd actually prefer to be sitting in my recliner with my blankie and a book.

you ok?
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 20:42, Reply)

Im fine
is it normal to want to watch 'Arthur' on iPlayer?
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:17, Reply)

Arthur the animated aardvark?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:19, Reply)

yes

( willenium Fist bump for verification, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:21, Reply)

I'm glad you clarified that.
I thought you meant Arthur the awful Dudley Moore film.

Arthur the aardvark is quite acceptable - carry on.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:24, Reply)

And I say hey, hey, what a wonderful kind of day....
yes, I think I might do the same!
( Maladicta, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 21:33, Reply)

It is indeed
tea and a sit down
