Endured an odd conversation with a workmate today. He told me about his problem with hemorrhoids and advised me never to get hemorrhoid cream from Poundland as it doesn't help one little bit. Apparently Poundland hemorrhoid cream does nothing except leave you with a greasy arse!

Speaking of Poundland, I was most displeased to see my local one stopped getting in Fishermen's Friends a couple of weeks ago, thus depriving me of my extra strong mint fix. Happily, I discovered another source today. It may be 19p more, but by jove it's worth it!

I had a dream where I had haemorrhoids, and had to visit the lemurs to be cured. They lived in Madagascar, obviously, but Madagascar was in the Arctic and I had to walk there on a big map. I was cured, and I don't remember having a greasy arse. Lemurs do not frequent Poundland, even in dreams.
I didn't have that dream this week though. This week I'm off to Telford to house/dog-sit for Mew1, my eldest sister. Frankie Boyle apparently decribed Telford town centre as the holding pen for the Jeremy Kyle Show, but I'm sure he says that about every shit town.

In other news, I spent some time today looking for people who do not exist. Unusual. I spend a bit of time on Facebook looking for dead people who you can supposedly make friends with. So far I've found Freddie Mercury, Elvis Presley and Adolf Hitler! I don't make friends with them though. I just look for them for a laugh. |

Mind you, I would be most concerned if you had actually found people who do not exist.......... That could be somewhat disturbing. A surprisingly good day today. I have managed to get rather a lot of things done both at work and at home. My house is starting to look a little more ship-shape, and I have finally managed to reattach the legs to my sofa (they had to be taken off to get it through the door when it was delivered) which creates a somewhat different sitting experience. It is all little stuff, but it has been quite nice to get a string of little things out of the way. Karl |

I had a very interesting conversation with Piglet today on the phone (I was at work), she told me a great lenghts how she was dancing and that she couldn't drink whilst she was dancing, and she could carry things to where they needed to be whilst she was dancing, and that she couldn't watch Mr. Tumble (who is a genious by the way) whilst she was dancing and that she couldn't look through her 'noclias (binoculars, we believe) whilst dancing, and that she couldn't wear shoes whilst she was dancing and that she couldn't put paper on the table whilst dancing. It was a whole thing about what she couldn't do whilst dancing, I think. After telling me all this she had to go, 'cos she was "too busy to talk". Lots to do, when you're nearly 3.

Some unexpected good news turned up in the post today. I have a small amount of cash in an account I thought had been cleared out. It's not a lot, but it should be just enough to cover ticket and accomodation costs for Auto Assembly which is good news as it means more cash from payday can go into savings! Might take a week or two to access but hey ho, I'm not complaining.

Have fun mate.
I have been moving the heaviest pigeon loft man has ever created. I cannot move my arms properly. Attempted to draw this evening. Not pretty.

It's been one of those days at work today. The highlight of which was when me and my workmate had to stop working due to faulty lights above our machine. Throughout the week so far these lights have been switching on occasionally but have been off most of the time. Today they decided to turn into disco lights before the problem was exposed. They flicked on, then an emergency light above us gave off a spark, then the main lights went off again, they came back on, the emergency light sparked and the main lights went off again. The factory's team of in-house electricians came out to look at the emergency light (a light that only comes on in the event of a power cut) and was surprised when the housing to the light was removed. The light was full of water - no doubt a little gift left to us by the night cleaners who have a tendency to use their spray guns on anything and everything. Fortunately, the problem was rectified and work could continue after the light was cleared of its swimming pool!

When I was very young I discovered to my great joy that if I shot a light bulb with my water pistol it went fizz. I called the baby-sitter to show her. She came. I shot the light bulb. It exploded. There was trouble that night, I can tell you... Sounds like your cleaners need a baby-sitter to keep an eye on them.

My Swine Flu torture continues. After going for a swab on Monday my gp told me to stay at home and avoid contact with everyone till the results came back. Had hoped that would be today. Alas not, tomorrow I should get the all clear and Ia can go to dentist and or doctors to find out why I have so much pain in my lower jaw.
Good news is that Asda are finally willing to offer me work. Couple of months over the summer, not great and hopefully not a long term move but some income and just getting back in to a working habit will be good for me. Also doing a job I dont really enjoy will hopefully focus me towards looking for something else more than too many lazy days at home have.

I was sooo bored at work today. I'm writing a training course in SQL (Structured Query Language don't you know) and I'm finding it dull as dish water. Writing down stuff I already know (basic stuff too) so other can learn from it makes me want to poke my eyes out. I don't mind actually delivering the training but the prep is awful. Definitely couldn't be a teacher.

I am completely knackered (the shock of being back at work - and a different type of work entirely, are catching up with me*). I may need caffeine to get through tomorrow at work before I can die quietly in a corner. I'm not complaining though. Rather that than rotting on the dole.

*The irony being that what I'm doing now is only a fraction of what I'll be doing after my Disclosure Scotland comes through

I got another day of filming tomorrow for a mates film Brain Freeze. As much as I'd prefer to be behind the camera, I am roped in as an actor too.
Yesterday I spent many takes dragging another cast member around a parking lot and shoving him into the back of a van. I can be a big bully at times.
