Crime of the Century
Over the Bank Holiday weekend, someone broke into our office and stole all the shiney nice things (PCs, Laptop, Brand New large format printer).

Consequently, I'm about to jump on the tube and spend the day (and possibily most of the week) 'working from home'.

What weirdness has started your working week?

Apparently my mailbox is over it's size limit.

That's because you have a tiny mailbox.
Tiny.

Probably the size of your attachments.
Tiny mailbox, huge attachments.

How are you my dear? Did your lovely man have a nice birthday?

Hiya mister!
This is the first chance I've had at internet nonsense all morning. It's ten bloody thirty! This wrongness.

He did have a super 'Official' birthday, but he'll have an even better one when I turn up in Cambridge on Friday night.

How's you?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:36, Reply)

Not bad
I have a morning for filing which, although very boring, is useful since I can actually get this stuff done.

I went to Dublin over the weekend. I got very drunk.

Give him one for me.

What do you do when you work from home?
My boyfriend plays Call of Duty and one of my friends recently confessed that his working from home consisted of watching Buffy in his underwear.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 9:58, Reply)

Buffy wears his trolleys?
WOW!
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Tue 4 May 2010, 9:59, Reply)

oh dear.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:07, Reply)

If he wore Buffy's skiddies,
then this would be a cause for worry. I prefer Willow anyway. My working week hasn't started yet, so I'm just watching telly and playing on the pute.

I think SMG is weird looking
Willow is way hotter. My bloke likes Cordelia though, tut.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:35, Reply)

Willow's cute.
I want to protect her.
(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Tue 4 May 2010, 10:37, Reply)

latterly she didn't seem to need much protection
I liked that series, she got increasingly hotter and hotter as she got more evil, until she then went all veiny in the face area in the season finale.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:42, Reply)

I try to be good
But because I have no one bothering me, I finish work in half the time when I'm at home.

Then video games, tv series, naps, gardening, cooking... as long as I stay at home and check my email frequently, everything is fine.

yeah that's pretty much what the boyfriend says
although he seems to have plenty of time for Call of Duty but no time for washing up.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:37, Reply)

I don't like washing up
I put everything that fits on the dishwasher and leave the heavy duty pans for the bf. He's happy with the deal. And I do most of the laundry.

I hate washing up
it makes my hands squeaky.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 11:05, Reply)

I hate it too
It's the worst of all the house's chores. That and vacuum a carpet. No carpet in my flat, oh no.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 4 May 2010, 11:08, Reply)

I would love a vacuum cleaner!
I have wooden floors and the boyfriend makes me sweep them. I can't sweep, I'm just shite at it. All the dust goes everywhere and it makes no difference.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 11:16, Reply)

I know what you mean
That's the way we used to do it in Spain, but since the magic VC came to life, no more sweeping. It just doesn't make sense. The dust goes everywhere!

I just hate carpets in general, and cleaning them is a pain.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 4 May 2010, 11:24, Reply)

I'd much rather have carpets
than bloody parquet and all that crap.
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Tue 4 May 2010, 11:57, Reply)

He makes you sweep them?
Does he make you sleep near the ashes in ragged clothes too?
I reckon there'll be a kind old lady along soon enough to turn your roller-boots into Rolls Royces babe.

I am the office geek
and everyone is taking the piss because someone told them May the 4th was unofficial Star Wars day. I don't actually care.
( Peej, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:24, Reply)

Don't worry
Several of us celebrate it here.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 4 May 2010, 10:30, Reply)

I like to say "May the 4th be with you"
whilst making the live long and prosper sign to hardcore star wars fans. It makes them go all eye-twitchy
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 4 May 2010, 10:47, Reply)

That's so wrong
I'm not Star Wars super fan, but I do like very very much Star Trek. You should answer to Mr. Spock for your villainy.

I'm not such a freak
I had to google that one. However, that Galaxy Quest sounds quite interesting.

My working week has started with washing up.
My fingers are all wrinkly and I have another sinkful yet.

Murder on my daughter's doorstep
Well, 20 steps from her student flat.

Also, a new sales rep has just popped in and we have bought a load of second hand - but very new - PCs and a printer, which all need to be installed.
