Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Pissheads!
Dullish day doing bugs...Then the company barbecue after. Free bar, vodka sleuch (if that’s how you say it) and lots and lots of very very nice food
Think Dave was a bit sleuched by the end. But he’s off now for a week so I doubt he’ll care until the morning.
Chatted with Phil lots who suggested that my operation on Tues could be painful - Unshocker. Made me think some though...Have arranged with work that I get to work from home for the rest of next week with Weds off sick. Taking my lappy into work tomorrow to get the VPN things installed and to test stuff over the weekend. Phil is gonna play taxi and look after me some on Tues as well...Yay...
Made desktop wallpaper out of one of my groyne pics from Cromer. Purty. Now I’m sat at Parson’s Green, waiting for a train, whilst they continue to drink lots more...
• 23:16: On a train...
So we left the office at 6ish. Fancy dress. Three of the team wearing ponchos and big bushy moustaches. Most of the rest of us with capguns. Most amusing! We chose to walk, many shouts of “Oi gringo”. Shoo.ting passers by with cap guns. One cyclist yelled “Why did the Mexican jump off a cliff?” but then promptly almost cycled into the back of an Astra so we never found out. We were at a cashpoint getting cash. Someone with a gun suggested it was a “polite hold-up”. Managed not to get lost - many more sniggers tho
Got to the venue. Gorgeous place. Upstairs bar, all beer free...mmmbeer. Down and out to the garden, with a big barbecue, tables, another bar, and then downstairs for a little patio and a “disco” room with DJ and another bar. Very cool.
Had a burger with salad. We’re talking 1/2 pound burger cooked medium rare and freshly made from steak. Maize topped bun and salad etc. Gorgeously lovely. Chatted to some work people including a rather pissed Dave, then queued for half hour for the second barbecue and fresh chicken breast and lamb shish kebab with a side of corn on the cob.
Yum!
Far too full to drink very much, so quite happy...chatted more then headed home.

Why do all my friends all of a sudden fancy Pete?
Didn’t make it to Retro last night. Tried phoning NewJames and his phone was off. Grr. OldJames has a job, gives me mixed feelings...Given that much of my problem with him had to do with him not having one I’m kinda wistful about it as I sort of wish it’d have happened earlier so we could have tried living together and being a real couple and stuff. Ah well. If he doesn’t want that then I just move on I guess. How many times have I written that? Urg. I’ll shut up now. Just kinda annoyed that whenever I talk with him about “us” he suggests we go round in circles...which was sorta true the first two times but I suspect wouldn’t be the case now as we’re both quite a bit different in where we are and what we’re doing than we were. *sigh*
Owen’s sister Cati gets married at the weekend - I’ve been invited to do video. Owen’s a tad nervous about the travelling and so I shall be there on Saturday evening. Am gonna lend him my laptop too so he can do ID card stuff on the way. Might bring the camera and stuff too and do some nice piccies for Cati.
Went to bed earlyish. Adam came in from Retro with housepet. They said hello hugs stuff and then rushed off to the Swan. Woke me up coming in and woke me up by cooking...or more accurately burning...smoke alarms at 3am ain’t pretty
So. Today I have careful bugsquishing to do. And this evening is the Company Barbecue. Yay. Free food!
Can’t afford to get a costume though. Bah. Western Theme...I suggested that I should get a whip and got funny looks and the kind of awkward silence usually reserved for spin the bottle. *smirk*
Should be fun anyways...
Am considering selling some photography. Chris Morris (the gay one, not the famous one) is considering using me as a photographer for one of his sites too...maybe a little extra cash
I am now financially fucked. Bankrupcy sounds fun
