A while back I was reading Metro on the way into work, and there was a debate on the letters page about office juniors, as some lass on an internship had got the sack for not removing empty pizza boxes.
Someone had written in saying early on in their career they'd often been expected to extend their job past the description, and entertain clients, make tea, clean up the office... basically everything short of scrubbing out the bogs. For some reason, they were proud of being taken for a ride by their former employers and acting as a skivvy.
I've never worked in an office, and by the sound of it I'm not missing much.

This is nothing to do my face, voice, mannerisms etc. making me utterly unemployable in polite society.

dinner was a greek restaurant
we had... pitta and houmous and spicy feta dip, fava croquettes, lentil salad and vegetarian moussaka. it's the best restaurant ever!

a threadclimber is a bit like a treadmill except the rolling road bit splits in half and the two halves go up and down as if you were hiking up a hill. it's bloody exhausting.

Do they make them in PINK?
(That's the threadclimber, not Greek restaurants).

The food sounds lovely. Where is the restaurant?

here, check out the menu
www.asgreekasitgets.co.uk/

it's near earls court and it is literally amazing!!!

the threadclimber was reasonably pink when i got on it, as i had on a pink ralph lauren polo shirt today. does that count?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 17 Oct 2010, 22:58, Reply)

This polo shirt
Was the collar up or down?

If you were trying to be a supporter at a varsity rugby match, and therefore you had your collar up, you'll have gone down MASSIVELY in my estimation.

Just got back from the batmitazah party.
Eventually I wasn't willing some sort of horrific accident to happen which would get me out of it, I donno, anything that doesn't hurt me or a few loved ones, maybe a truck careering into the building but falling short of hurting anyone in any serious way. ... and it gave way to It's Not So Bad.

I was on a table filled with couples, which was a bit tedious, as I wasn't in on anyone's in-joke except one kid, about 6 years old, comented quietly about how borring yesterday was; was hushed up by his mum; and then when she thought they got away with it I said "By the way, I totally agree, don't think I've been so bored or anti-religion before"... followed by agreements by the rest of the table.

Anyway, that's done with, there was some bloke with a TV camera right next to me, I was just under it so I hope I'm out of shot for everything, but fear I might have been in shot for the mic.

ROLL ON MONDAY ! YAY ! Can't wait to get into work.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 17 Oct 2010, 22:53, Reply)

How long was the party?
5 hours of God already sounds like you've done your bit.

Was there any chanting before the food?

'Why are we waiting? Why are we waiting?' for example.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 17 Oct 2010, 22:55, Reply)

Not to long, I left early with an elderly great-aunt " 'cus she doesn't know the way home from here", bailed at 10ish and got there at 7ish.
The food was edible but not very nice, smoked salmon starter (borring), veg lasagnia mains (with next-to-no pasta and no tomarto-based sauce), followed by a new york cheesecake which was actually quite nice.

No chanting, plenty of "I LOVE YOU [people from JLS]", a photographer who wouldn't suprise me if he keeps some of the photos of 12 year olds for "personal use", and some kid who clearly really fancies the batmizah girl and has been knocked back time and time again.

I reckon I'd like this sort of thing if I had a misses to share some injokes with, or at least hire a hooker to pretend to be my misses for the night.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 17 Oct 2010, 23:03, Reply)

nah
you'd end up feeling defensive when she thought it was shit because it would feel like she was being rude about your family even when you thought it was shit and she wasn't and then you'd argue all the way home and you wouldn't get laid even though it had been about 6 weeks and you were beginning to forget what it felt like.

or something.

/is anti-relationships at this particular moment!

I'm still hoping a sugamama will whisk me away to New York on a lieer for christmas this year.
See the new year in from the top of the empire state with nothing but a blanket, champaign*, lights turned down low and an empty top floor minus a machaline quality chef and a waitor who knows how to make a good cocktail.


* Champaign and Lychee juice, srs, makes that stuff lush.

I'm now going to suggest taking crack in a slum in war-torn country with nothing but angry men with guns around....
... and then say meet in the middle; a nice flat 'round Harrod's-way with a bottle of chocolate port and some good telly?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 17 Oct 2010, 23:28, Reply)

I was hoping to, but there were problems with getting a visa.
I'm going Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Hungary the Czech Republic, Switzerland and France. all those places in about 5 weeks. I'm spending christmas with family in Holland, and NYE with my friend in Denmark. I figured if I don't go now, before uni, then I won't ever get to go, cos after uni I'll be paying off debts and working etc.

Right. School time for me. Bye ms Swipe!
