I still remember my first week down in Exeter. I wandered into the laundry room to do the weekly linen exchange, to be greeted by this older woman going "Alright my lover" in a thick Devonshire accent. I near fled in terror!

It makes me miss Bath already, them funny little accents (from the Bristolians who had emigrated). That and the cider.

You remind me of what I wanted to be when I was half my age. I went along a sensible path instead of taking the fun one. :cry:

I am sensible. :P

Actually I'm rather proud of my career at my age. You can read all about it in the new job prospect thread. :P

I just like to sift through my day. Sorting what needs to be done into a list, and what is least important goes at the bottom.

If you look upon life with a serious attitude, then chances are you're either going to fail miserably, or you will always, never fulfull what you want from life.

Spice it up a bit I say. Chances are, while your being silly, fun and carefree you'll stumble accross something that could be the missing piece to your jigsaw.

Let your hair down lady, come have a coffee and a smoke with me at 10!

I've never partaken of the evil weed. Hang on... You're in Wales, and I'm in Bexley. Hmm. It'll have to be a virtual coffee. :lol:

I'm not actually as sensible as I make out. I enjoy a good giggle, and can often find humour in the lowest point of a slough of despond.

I'm not pushy enough, though. I am a little too conservative to ever make much money at what I do - but then we get by and have enough to have some fun occasionally.

Don't get me started. It's one of those days. ;)

Don't forget the warning signs though :shock:

Quote:
Warning Signs: it is strongly recommended (and in many cases a legal requirement) that appropriate warning signs should be displayed where this product is in use.

It is generally accepted that warning signs should be displayed at 3-4 metre intervals on the approach side of the protected boundary fence / wall

Can't have the thieves falling off can we :roll:

Ugh, spend all of yesterday in bed with severe stomach pains.
Had a broken nights sleep but made it to work.
Might go home early though.

Dude, take some advice from me.

This sorts out my stomach pains, and all types of reasons why I have them so none of the "Errr, but yor a woman" just take the advice, biatch! :P

Right, get 2 paracetamol. Get a nice cup of tea, or coffee and have 2 sugars. With milk.

Then, get the kettle on and fill a hot water bottle, wrap it in a tea towel, and pop it under your shirt onto your belly.

This works, 100%, if it don't it's GP time for you!

I was think about walking to work today, have a wander through the forest one last time...But then halfway there I gave up, so hot and too humid, sat and waited for the bus instead :P

One of my bosses has a massive pool of data, from 8 different markets, each market has provided it's sales figures for each department and my boss wants me to create a spreadsheet by department detailing each markets data.

Create a template and send them theirs back with a copy of teh template and tell them to do it ! Simple :D

That's what happened to get the data in the first place and it's come back with each markets "individuality" very markedly in evidence. :roll:
