<HTML>You know that spare???????

I figure nobody can really be expecting me to turn up at uni, besides they're all buggering off for a conference that they forgot to invite me to...</HTML>

<HTML>Well, hell. <I>Everybody's</I> going except me and people who live in foreign climes. Life just isn't fair. I shall eat noodles in solidarity, however, and derive some small consolation from that.</HTML>

<HTML>Jon, didn't you mention you feel a cold coming on? Maybe you should tell your boss you feel like you're coming down with something. [GRIN] And your wife probably will catch it from you by then, so she could call in sick to work as well.</HTML>

<HTML>You know, I do feel like some of the 7 dwarves ...perhaps I am going down with something. Mind you my wife calls in sick from work all the time. She says, I'm sick of ironing, sick of washing, sick of cleaning, sick of cooking ....

Um, I can't. I'm the only one manning the phones at work on Thursday, and I wouldn't enjoy the noodles if they came with a side-order of guilty conscience. Let this be a lesson to you all; never work for your friends - you simply cannot shaft them the way you would with some faceless corporation.</HTML>

<HTML>So is it on Thursday, or on the 22nd? And yes, the 22nd is a Sunday, because I'm meeing my father and his current wife for a Christmas lunch that day.</HTML>

<HTML>ever heard of an answering machine? LOL (yes, I know, help desk and all that...but if they're calling during lunch time, there's something wrong with THEM anyhow!) And more succinctly, there's probably less wrong with the product and more wrong with them!

Hey, here's an idea...
does anyone have wireless internet access there? if so, we could set up webcams....</HTML>
