I have just come out of a meeting on cross-training, which is a buzzword meaning I have to learn disgusting things about Windows - my only hope of getting a pay rise in the foreseeable future without a change of job - and one of my colleagues gets to pick up the basics of Unix. My Bill-sucking colleague ("Windows 2003 will take over!") is revolted by Unix and is dragging his feet as absolutely much as is possible on the entire process without it seeming to be actual sabotage. At least if someone presented the pain to me I could deal with it. It's having to actively search it out that rankles.

Stopped in at the Bell last night to organise further details of the reception. The real beer on tap will be IPA (really nice on a hot day) and Abbot's. Oh, and F*st*rs and C*rl*ng for the heathens. We also expect some hideous fizzy piss champagne for the event. I EXPECT EVERYONE READING THIS TO AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO SHOW UP AT THE PUB. IS THAT CLEAR?

(AUSTRALIANS, THAT INCLUDES YOU!)

My hair will probably get a long-overdue bleaching this weekend.

I have a few sets of interview questions to answer. I haven't forgotten! Really!

BwaaaHaaaaHaaaaa!

It's going to be very hard for me and J to show up when we will be in a church in Cornwall witnessing his younger brothers' wedding #2.


Sorry!

Does that include people you've never met or probably even heard of?

I might pop my head round the door if I count as being invited as I am NOT REALLY OF THE INTERWEB anymore.

*sigh* my financial situation (and Paul's) has turned sour :(

We're not sure if we can afford the train fares atm... I've not been paid benefits for a while (other than the £32 a week which should of been stopped by now, but is swollowed up by excess fees).

We'll try our best, it may be that just me turns up, tho what the heck i'd wear i don't know... i've no money to buy new clothes, and all of my clothes are black, hardly apt for a weddding really is it?!

Would love to join you at pub, but it's a bit of a hike. Have fun!

You know something we'd really like and would be relatively easy to buy and send? A print of "Le Chat Noir" - we can frame it at our end :-)

Heya. We probably won't be making the wedding after all, but expect us to very definitely be at the reception. I'll be wearing my new corset BTW, as well as my new boots (details to follow on my LJ... ;-) )
*Hugs*
