I HAVE PEPERNOTEN!

It's highly likely that, by the end of the day, I will no longer have pepernoten.

OM NOM NOM.

NETSUITE MUST DIE.

That is all. I now return you to your regularly scheduled silence.

Last night, I got to the bus stop at 6.10pm for a bus that was due at 6.18pm.

It finally showed up at 7.30pm. (Just after sessifet25 had agreed to run me home if it didn't show up before she finished her shift.)

Today, I'm in a lot of pain. Strangely enough, an hour and twenty minutes in the cold will do that to you. Really doesn't help that I work in a pretty unpleasant area.

Work is going fancy dress on October 30th. I have absolutely zero money to spend on a costume (the dentist stole my money) so I'm trying to work out what I've got from among my existing clothes that I could wear.

I think the most likely is probably my Victorian-style dress, although it needs a fair amount of work doing on it. I also need to whip up a couple of petticoats for it, because the frame of the crinoline shows through too much at the moment.

One of our vendors has brought a giant bag of Chinese junk food. I'm rather fond of the nutty boiled sweets but the Brown Rice Roll (Chocolate) has an odd after-taste. I'm being very English and refusing to touch the dried squid.

I have salty liquorice, courtesy of sessifet25! To celebrate this, I offered some to my coworkers, because I'm just that nice.

My coworkers didn't think it was nice of me to give them salty liquorice. Silly coworkers.

Just for that, they aren't having any of my stroopwafel.

Anybody who has a mobile number for me - I NO LONGER HAVE A MOBILE.

If I've given you the number in the past year or so, it's even more important that you don't try to contact me on it, because it's a work phone that I've had to hand back!

May 1, Mark Thomas, Parr Hall, £15.

Who wants to come?

the_hatstand, you might be interested in this, specifically the bit starting at 0:28:40.

Email went round last week saying, "On Jan 2, the canteen will be serving all-day breakfast and lunch but will close at 2pm."

I just went down for lunch at 12.30. The canteen was closed.

THAT IS NOT 2PM. NOW I HAVE TO GO AND HAVE A SANDWICH INSTEAD. BASTARDS.

ETA: THE SANDWICH SHOP IS SHUT. SO IS THE CHIPPIE. DAMMIT, YOU BASTARDS, TODAY IS NOT A BANK HOLIDAY.

So I'm fucking off home when the next bus comes. If that's running, of course.
