      <description><![CDATA[Yeah, well currently I'm being attacked with a drain plunger at OME, I het the things you get me into sometimes...

Evening fix perfectly acceptable behaviour....

Currently suffering mother of all hangovers. Problem is that my best mate stayed over, and thats always a bad sign. Had a few pints watching Portugal earn a flukey draw ;-) then had a few more afterwards, then came home, drank bottle of wine and then we started on the aftershocks... 

Needed good drink, but will explain in pm.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[No worries - going out with best mate and my sister. 

Will be online tomorrow evening, chatting? 

Spent afternoon in pub watching football. Good job it was a draw, 'cause I'd be busy sulking if Portugal had won!

You've got mail, btw. 

PS not sure about posting poem, copyright and all that. Plus I don't want to come across as *sensitive*...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Ben :)

So, this really gets quiet on the weekends lol

I hope you're having a nice day :)
I sent you a mail earlier, but I can't really talk with you later because I'm off to dinner with some friends, just been invited... just so you know.
I hope you do have a nice saturday, and I hope to see you tomorrow evening

Is Jasper creating a whole new breed of people here?

      <description><![CDATA[lol and their business isn't selling comps?
I mean, I suppose I could work in several computers, but having several windows open in just 1 computer sounds more reasonable lol

Ok, I can wait 1 month :) anyway, I have been busier lately too (yes, I still haven't read all the stuff - and in 30 min I'll have to entertain until lunch time a guy from the belgium plant who's visiting, and the people he's with want to have a meeting without him lol I don't know what to say, especially as I've already done and sent all the questions he'd been asking me to. Maybe he's got more work for me?

So you're in an open space area, everybody can see your comp? I have my own office, with the screen turned against the door (that's always open, mind), so I'm ok :D

And I thought everybody went on holidays in July and August and only crazy people like me went in other months, lol. Although my parents are going to visit my sister (and see London too) at the end of the month though... but they no longer work, so they have all the free time they want...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Morning :-D

It's alright, my parents are looking for somewhere to go on holiday, otehrwise I would have been on longer,I'm going to have to cut down the time I spend during work hours too, as people are starting to twig. I'll be online a lot more once I'm at uni again thoguh, so give it a month and I'll be back to normal ;-D

See what you mean about smilies being boring here!

Just filled out details for a company with 2 employess, and 1000 computers. I suspect there's somebody doing an Enron here...]]></description>

Tonight and tomorrow I won't be around at that time either, dinner with friends tonight and dinner with parents tomorrow.... just so you know.

although it was later than you... I've just finished reading a powerpoint presentation giving the basics of my new assignment, and I understood it all so I thought I deserved a treat (ie checking new posts eheheh)

I only work late when I really need to, though. I don't think it's a performance indicator to work overtime (paid or, in my case, unpaid) all the time, if anything it shows you're not organised and can't perform well. I think I'm beginning to show that to 'my people' eheheh]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Just seen a TV review that comes close to Nextian, and is kinda relevant to last night's conversation:

'Romantic love was the invention of 12th century French troubadours. If this is true the troubadours have a lot to answer for, and the best thing that I can think of is to invent a time machine and beam a life-size waxwork of Barbara Cartland back 800 years. That should stop tham in their tracks' - Robert Hanks, Independent TV critic.]]></description>
