Watercooler Sub Zero: Ice Capades

:-(

Otherwise please please please be kinder to yourself. You are not an asshole, whatever you think.

Band breakups are a lot like romantic breakups - sometimes even harder for me, I guess, because it involves work as well as emotions.

I thought I was walking away just "Phew! Everything's OK now!" when obviously I've still not dealt with the issues which broke up the band in the first place.

I am being an asshole at the moment. I'm being a totally self indulgent, selfish, not giving a shit about anyone else asshole. That's how people who are in pain behave. The pain will go. It's just unrealistic to expect it to go so soon.

I've got another friend in pain due to a deep personal loss and it's never been so hard to be her friend as it is right now. I am optinistic that things will get better. In both cases you have lives filled with structure and work and friends beyond the relationship/tight circle you've left, so hang onto that.

Morning all.

Although I've been meaning to post some of the last two places I've stayed, both of which are quite... "instructive," I think. People ask often. I'll try to get around to it before Xmas.

Like the three sister, i want to go to Moscow. (Again)

I was up doing favours all last night (not half as much fun as it sounds) and am the world's sleepiest man. I think I'm gonna have a Tomcatnap at lunch, assuming I last that long.

I didn't realise there were different CATegories of catnap!

because last year's ended up being a bit of a damp squib.

I was reading somewhere how somebody described something as being "a damp squid". Surely for a squid being damp is a very good thing!

I'm having a TomCatnap in honour of the dead cartoonist.

(CJ, I don't know whether to laugh or cry)

yes, down the Botley Road. Very close to the Westgate Hotel. Standard Greene King fare pubwise, although I've never eaten there. Interesting choice.

News tomorrow.

What's That?

and I no don't mean

and there's moving a sofabed on!

Freaking HR department. I've said already I am not signing any contract that does not have my flexitime written into it. Got the contract this morning. No flexitime. I'm considering going on strike until I get a proper contract.

And my mum has given herself food poisoning. Eating dodgy sausages at dodgy takeaways that I told her not to go to. Sigh.

Never thought that yr mother would go to dodgy takeaways. Still, hope she gets over it soon.

I'm in a fucking fowl mood now. Been teetering on the edge of it, but headache, sinus congestion, hacking cough and the cold I had last week has just decided to settle and make my life a misery. :-(

I have been signed off work for a week with a viral infection. Boo. (not that I want to go into work, but I would kind of like to be paid since I am temping, the office is shut for two weeks, then I'm only back three days before I go on holiday. This pretty much equates to three days pay to last me a month. Just as well I haven't wasted lots of money on Christmas presents, eh?

I feel like I have to just keep going until I collapse. :-(

*gis for pointy noses*

tada!
