I wish Ian would use permalinks… anyways here is an excerpt
“When I finally got home, I pulled off my newly-christened jeans and hung them on the floor. Hmm. Seems I’d been parading around all night with a big sticker saying ’32 x 32 501 32 x 32 501…” plastered over my butt. Ah well.”
and here is a link and here is why I wanted to bring your attention to it…
I had bought a new pair of abercrombie jeans whilst in the US and went out for the night and then when we got back to the hotel and in the lift going up to our floor Jonathan pipes up – you might want to take that size label of your jeans…

Friday’s USA Today had an article about geo-caching and I was intrigued to see that although it is sweeping the US with it’s wide open spaces and preponderance of SUV’s but having looked at the site I was suprised to see that there are caches in the UK too. I was wondering if I could start a cache on my roof? That’d be a hard one to get! Having the NeverLost system inthe car though has made me consider going andbuying a handheld GPS I know I have absolutely no need for one yet somehow that doesn’t seem to be the point.

blogger has finally given in
blogger has finally given in to paid sponsorship – and why not indeed NextDraft from what I read today is well worth a mention anyways whether they are paying or not.
on the subject of paying I was looking at an article on supermarkets here int he US and 10 things they don’t want you to know and I am so glad I do not need to purchase groceries whilst I am over here. What with rodents, overcharging and reforming out of date products…. eep.

okay less busy…
I have managed to finish the report on my recent trip to the US – only one MS Word crash which destroyed the document and nearly had me crying this evening. Other than that not much happening in my world just now – too much work. Oh except there is a cute new chicken in the office 😉 I was accused of drooling this evening on the way to the station.

You could be forgiven for
You could be forgiven for thinking that my work place is the butt of a practical joke or an ill timed april fools jest but unfortunately not. We recently received a mail to say that on monday all the clocks would be removed and no watches would be allowed – a representative would let staff know when it was lunch and when it was home time in an attempt to relieve workplace stress or something equally inane. I thought it was a joke and ignored it .. until this mail came today
“Just a reminder that this coming Monday is our Stop the Clock day!
Don’t forget to leave your watches at home and enjoy the day without being
controlled by time! (N.B. If you do wear your watch, you may be asked to
leave it at reception.)
Thank god I will still be in the US! mad the lot of them…

well last night [thursday] the
well last night [thursday] the taxi I had booked through work arrived at 8 to take me to the airport – the only flaw here being that my flight wasn’t until friday morning. So erm 12 hours early then. Luckily a cab turned up this morning too – I had visions of them not bothering to send one at all after the mess up the night before.
picked dave up from his in battersea and then on to the airport. It being comic relief the Virgin Atlantic staff were all kitted out in tee shirts and pants [the theme being say pants to poverty] and of course the obligatory man in womens clothing. He looked cute too – Gavin was his name – so if perchance you are reading this Gav – great legs 😉
The nice lady took a look at Dave and gave us seats by the exit so that he had extra leg room – me being a short arse it never really bothers me but I must admit it was fantastic to have nothing for about 3 feet – maybe more – in front of me.
I thought whilst on the plane that I have actually spent more time out of the country than in it in the last month or so and by the end of this trip I will have spent more time in the US than london over the last 2 months. Another day another flight!
This was my first flight with Virgin in Premium Economy and I must say I was impressed the service was excellent and our hostess was brilliant.
When Dave and I arrived in Dulles we managed to get on the wrong courtesy bus [my fault I usually hire with hertz and work had booked avis] so he was not exactly inspired with confidence! Got to the hotel with no problems and checked in to what is going to be my new home for the next 2 weeks – unless i switch to a hotel in DC at the weekend. The Hyatt in Reston is actually a nice hotel – just it’s in the middle of nowhere.
So we settled in and then went on the wander around Reston as it is Dave’s first trip out here. It doesn’t take long. Outside Barnes & Noble though we got asked to buy Girl Scout cookies – now I know you always see this in the movies but to come accross two girls [plus mum keeping tabs on the cask and stock] selling Girl Scout cookies – well I was in fits. We both bought some though after the initial shock had worn off! I got a box of Tagalongs which look nice :o)
Had a really nice meal in the market street bar and grill which is the hotel restaurant. and then went wandering to buy books and stuff. trying to stay awake until around 11pm here so I do not wake up hideously early. I’m sure my body is going to give up on the time zone thing shortly anyway. A different time zone each week for the past 4 weeks :o(
