Internet Dependancy

Well, looks like things are going good so far this week. No promises about the weekend, wine may get in the way. So whats the news?

Well, phase 2 at work have lost their internet connection whilst they move to new portacabins. This in itself is a crime, to me a broadband connection at home or work is like gas or electricity. How would I bank? email? live?! Now this doesn't effect me as I'm on phase 3, and our connection is still up and running. Sharing a 2MB line with 2 other people is great, especially when they don't know how to use and abuse it! :-) However, now every minion at work, from project manager to general lacky with a laptop have decended on my office for the week to "check emails". What they really mean is escape out of the way, so they don't have to work, and surf the net whilst sitting at my desk!

Now this wouldn't be too bad, I'm a nice kinda guy, I can understand the need for breaks, checking emails etc... I can even abide them using my desk to do it. What I can't stand is them ruining my filing system for over 30 drawings that are currently in use, stealing my power supply so I lose all the work that was open when I left the office to give them some space, but worst of all, ITS ALL THE EMPTY TEA MUGS!!!! This is probably made worse by the fact that I haven't found time for a cuppa today, so slightly miffed anyway, especially when you find out some miscreant has, then left the debris for me to remove! GGRRRRRRR!

That said, the day was made more ammusing by finding out the fork lift driver had cut his pubic hair into the shape of a heart (for valentines day) and it still hasn't grown out! Not sure which is more worrying, the fact that he did it, or that he admitted to it, to a room full of men :-S

Other than that today has been fairly good, mental in the morning, chilled afternoon, then lazy chores at home. This weekend could either be imense fun or extremely dull depending on what develops... I'll let you all know what the crack is when it happens. One way or another, must plaster Paul's wall!

Until tomorrow, remember, if you drink the tea, MOVE THE MUG, or even better wash it up!
