I've picked up a spell of onshore office work, long hours, seven days a week.
I'm pretty much on autopilot until I get some coffee inside at breakfast at 6:15am.
Had a meeting yesterday, during which someone kindly advised me my shirt was on inside out.
The meeting was at 2pm... wish someone could have told me 7 hours earlier.
Hey, it could have been worse.
Yeah, that's for sure. No cone at least.
One of the secretaries kindly told me to check in the future that the pocket is on the outside.
And she was being serious! I think she think's I'm a bit stupid.
^^ Don't unbutton them mate... straight off over my head and into the wash bag every night. Reverse after washing.
Don't get much spare time at the moment!
My daughter sends me pictures of her English homework on Skype to check over before the teacher see's it. One of the sentences in her latest story was:
"Ok, wanna play at the park?"
Perfect use of speech marks and other punctuation, but wanna!!!
I explained that wanna isn't a proper word, and to change it to 'do you want to', but she was adamant it was a word because (cos) she'd seen it on youtube.
I never realised how pervasive text speak had become, but howdya stop 'em using it?
Tell here never to trust anything they see on the 'puter
BTW ... PITA sands for 'Pain In The Arse'.
I flew home through Helsinki airport mid August and the Christmas shop was already up and running...
Helsinki and the Finns . . . boring, bland . . . but the best bear steak I've ever had, with a lovely Pfifferling/Chantarelle sauce.
American companies had excellent expense limits . . . lasted until a few years ago
Cos they want to run you over!
Normality, thank God , the old format, for answering Creep Door. Been through Macca today thrice , ordered a double espresso , cheapest coffee in town.
Yea - USA
Christmas shopping season used to start the day after our Thanksgiving aka "Black Friday" and the reported retail sales figures did drive the stock market. Reported that 50% of a stores annual sales occurred between Black Friday and Christmas Eve.
Thanksgiving Thursday used to be ALL stores closed. Now they remain open. Christmas decorations are now put up in stores before halloween.
Funny to see a Witch on Broomstick next to Rudolph.
Off to BKK next week and looking forward to it! Did take a look at the course schedule, I find it a little depressing that I have more breaks than the kids at my place of work. I'd be pretty bratty too if I was asked to sit for hours and hours on end. Guess the reflective nature of the course is working already
I've got a degree and half my work is numbers, but I'll be completely buggered if I can help my 8 year old daughter do her maths homework this week.
Two questions have left me completely stumped and I've wasted ages trying to work them out.
Any maths teachers? Free greens for the correct answers (with working!)
