i think i got kinda soured on them by having to produce them for a purpose at uni, when they became objectionable and filled with resentful half arsed scrawlings. now i'm rediscovering them as a diary-cum-braindump, they're much more fun. plus, it passes the hour long train journey WAAAAY faster than reading, and it gets me some amusing reactions from old ladies who for some reason, seem to fear the large hairy faced tattooed scruffbag sitting opposite, cutting things out of the metro with a scalpel and glueing them in, then drawing horrendous things on them and intermittently chuckling to himself.. pretty much guarantees me a free seat to myself.
what have you recently rediscovered that's made you smile?

Ok peeps you want to know why I am so angry all the time? Because my work is fucking do my nut in to the point where if I'm not angry online where, let's face it, it doesn't count then I am seriously going to murder someone. I was doing ok this morning catching up on stuff when my boss says:
You only have one day of holiday, you'll have to come in over Christmas.
Me: Really? Can I not have it off as a reward for working hundreds of unpaid hours this year?
Boss: It doesn't work like that.
Me: So I don't get paid if I'm sick, I don't get paid if I stay over which I have to do to try and vaguely stay on top of things, I didn't get paid any more when you forced me to take on half of Sandra's accounts when she left - even though you keep lying to me saying you will be giving me more money which you are never goingto do really are you, yet Sy gets paid to play taxi which means I then have to do all the work he was brought up here to do making it utterly fucking pointless especially as he still seesm to get 10 days a year more holiday than I do!?
