last year on halloween one of the guys from the upstairs office, that i didn�t really know and i�d never really talked to, came out of his way, to the cubicle i used to live in and said �i heard you spent the afternoon carving pumpkins yesterday�. this was so bizarre as i had not been carving pumpkins and i couldn�t imagine who had been spreading the gossip that i had!

its 2.26pm. how the hell can it be only 2.26pm when i feel like i�ve been here for about a million hours already. lizzie and i were supposed to be going ker-lubbing tonight but its halloween and the club is having a special event. the funny thing is that the place is usually full of goths anyway so they really don�t need to bother with a costume party. i suggested to the coolest guy that since he is going to be blessed with my presence for the evening we should rent some �old skool� horror movies. i�m a big scaredy cat* so i will probably have nightmares all night. but that�s ok, i have the day off work tomorrow.
* i am such a big scaredy cat that earlier on i nearly fell over trying to get away from the plastic spider that i totally forgot i put on the plant outside my office yesterday!

i have a fear of machines. not complicated things like computers, i�m fine and dandy with them, but with vending machines and microwaves and car stereos and video recorders and..well you get the idea. i just don�t trust them. i don�t trust them not to steal my money and i know damn well they have no intention of making sure i don�t miss my favourite tv shows. anyway, we got a new microwave at work the other day (clair blew the last one up with a burrito) so about 20 minutes ago i went to the kitchen to heat up my chicken and sweetcorn soup (which, being that i lack greatly in the culinary department, i consider homemade in that i had to add the sweetcorn all by myself to a tin of plain chicken soup) and of course the microwave refused to work for me. ok i'll admit that i didn�t read the instructions first�i don�t do instruction manuals�and i did press all the buttons at least twice each and some simultaneously but still how hard can it be to heat up a small bowl of soup. to add to the frustration, hunky michael (not my boss mike but another michael from the upstairs office) came into the kitchen. i ended up groveling for his help because at this point the machine was flashing out the word �safe� on its digital screen which didn�t seem very appropriate given the fact that i was about to throw it out of the nearest office window (ok the windows here don�t actually open but the microwave doesn�t know that). in the end, lu (who every loves to pieces because she is always so �nice� and �helpful�!!!) had to come and help out. i eventually got my soup, probably only a few minutes before i was about to starve to death, and it turned out to be very tasty.
the two new big boss/ceo type guys just walked passed my office. one of them popped his head in and asked �what�s with the wall display of cds�. �i like music�, i offered. �do you play it here at work?�, he asked. �sometimes i do�but�er�very quietly�er�it gets lonely down here sometimes�. he humpffed and walked off. hands up all those that think i�ll be first on the redundancy list. hands up all those who think i should have got an all day snowboading pass instead of just evenings and weekends!

at 7.30am it seemed like a great idea to bring bill hicks to work with me. at 9am, after a cup of caffeine and more �fucking fucks� than is probably allowed in an office environment, i realized that maybe this was maybe not one of my most clever moves. but, despite the fact that i am probably going to get carpal tunnel syndrome from turning the volume knob up and down every five seconds to try and hide the profanities, i am still listening because i love bill and it would be rude to cut him off mid �rant (in e-minor)�.

i'm very happy and its not that i don't like being happy its just that i find it a bit boring. yeah the words "never satisfied" are probably appropriate here
