Where to start?

Well, lets start with the good stuff:

I saw 12 magpies this morning. I know that 2 is for joy, so the rhyme goes.  Hopefully 12 is extremely lucky?

My car is all fixed, and I know far more than I ever wanted to know about EGR valves. Also, as a plus point, I know that my brakes work reeeeeally well. A suicidal squirrel decided to test them at 8am this morning (he was damn lucky!) Aha! Perhaps that’s what 12 magpies mean – “you will nearly crash your car trying to save a small fluffy creature”. Doesn’t fit very well into a catchy ditty though, does it?

The annual Halloween fancy dress pub crawl thing is next weekend. I will certainly be attempting not to be sick up any 4x4s this year. *cough*

We are yet to decide on the costumes, and if we don’t make a decision soon it will default to lettuces. Again. Thankfully we have never actually had to go as a lettuce, but we’re getting dangerously close to that at the moment.

 And the rest:

The Carpet-jumpered freak is to be told today about my official complaint against her (I decided against the wee on the chair tactic) and so am awaiting the fall-out. She’s gonna do one of about 3 things:

  • Rant at me
  • Be sickly nice to me
  • Be a complete arse by making stupid but cleverly thought out work-related demands

I’d prefer a quick game of rock, paper, scissors to sort it all out…but I think it’s gonna end in tears. Hopefully not mine. I can always use the wee on the chair as a last resort 😉

I accepted some flowers for a category b) mistake when I should have just ran away. What *is* wrong with me lately?

I accidentally put in a bid for some designer shoes on ebay thinking I wouldn’t get them. I did. They’re £58. Considering my current financial situation, I shouldn’t really be buying them. D’oh.

I clicked on ‘reply’ instead of ‘forward’ on an email from the yank office. There will be no trips to NY. The email was meant for my boss, to poke fun at them for being so crap. They now know *exactly* what I think of them. Eeeeeek!

Incidently, have not lost my job yet for aforementioned mistake. So, that should go in the “good stuff” category. Possibly.

All in all, a strange few weeks. But then, I don’t consider “may you live an interesting life” to be a curse.

Good job too.
