breakfast at AOL

okay so it’s not quite Tiffany’s but it is free. The first Friday of each month we get a batch of pastries and croissants put in each of our 5 kitchens. The idea being that we should go to a kitchen on another floor to meet others and have a mini power breakfast getting to know our colleagues.

Two points here, if we go to another floor then who is goint to greet the peeps who come to our floor? Also who is going to be on the other floors?

Another mind numbingly painful ‘aoltastic’ plan was the implementation of Picture ID cards for extra security. Now this for most companies means the company name or logo and a picture with your name and department. No problems? Okay well not here at AOL towers. No we have a plain white ID card with your picture on it, your name on it and in big big letters ‘STAFF’ now that couldn’t be more descriptive if they tried could it? Well okay it could.

Next we have the pi?ce de r?sistance – If found our ID cards should be returned to ‘Galeco Communications’ in Reading. Probably in an attempt to prevent terrorists stealing an ID card in the pub and then breaking our security front door seal and … okay here I stumble because it’s not like we have much worth stealing/destroying.

So now I no longer work for AL I work for Galeco. Confused?

Okay so I want to know who out there has ID cards for work with their company name on them.

I am so glad I don’t need to diet

otherwise I too may be tempted to put half naked pics on the interwebnet™

I also seem to have a reputation for ‘doing chunky’ I wonder if that is why?

GayOL

I have a few minutes whilst my PC is virus checked for a new variant of the NIMDA virus so sped on over to salon to read a few articles I have bookmarked but never gotten around to reading. This story about AOL chat rooms being the sauna’s of the 70’s is fairly true to life as much today as it was when this article first appeared 2 years ago.

back to work with a bang

and now I am knackered 🙁

sometimes you just can’t win – either stay at home missing out and being bored or come into work and feel awful.

in other news though eighteen year old debbie from slough has gone and gotten engaged.

in yet more news other people refused to get engaged and have decided to declare an intention to get married at sometime in the future.

congratulations to both.

and in other news…

go on over and give big hugs to scally and bruce after their mugging ordeal with thugs last night.

always on for some

I have just posted a rant comment on poor Jonathan’s site. In actual fact the rant was directed at BT but it was brought about by this post.

I *used* to have perfectly working DSL until a line fault with BT when they came to fix the line fault they said I was too far from the exchange and couldn’t tell me why it had been working perfectly up until the line fault. So they removed it 🙁

Uncharitable people would think it was because this was a competitor service [AOL] not BT’s own service…

still not feeling 100%

but going into work anyways tomorrow as I have watched every DVD I own in an attempt to avoid daytime TV and then ran out and borrowed some off friends. Also feeling kind of guilty even though I am sick that lots is happening at work without me 🙁

Routine some of us like it some of us don’t I think I need it and work is firmly part of the routine. Looking forward to the school bus even

porn and buggery

It’s a while since I looked through my referral logs and today I had a wierd bunch ranging from little boy buggery pics through to what does fucktard mean?

The first I can’t help with but the second I certainly can – It’s a cross between fuckwit and retard you fucktard!

x-ray specs

well okay not specs but I did go to the hospital to get my chest x-rayed today. It wasn’t actually that bad except I was surrounded by half naked old men coughing as badly as I was. The porter was cute though 😉 I’m terrible me – sick as a dog and still checking out the talent.

I’m very bored of being sick now though and would like to be able to drink sometime soon and maybe even venture into a pub or bar. Looks like I’m missing out on all the fun scally has been out on the town with bruce in tow – or should that be the other way around?
