In Other Words

all dots, no dashes

I took a large chunk of yesterday’s post, reedited it and sent it to the Today paper. Lets see what they think. Liana seemed to enjoy it so lets hope its not too bad. It wouldn’t do for me send bad quality stuff in.

Went to lunch with my boss and her boss. It was interesting. Useful, as my boss wasn’t going to get on my back in front of her boss (after all, what would her boss think?). We ate at the sizzler and discussed everything from education to cpf. Probably all my fault, I always manage to tackle subjects that are a little, well, touchy. Whats the use of dicussing if we’re not going to discuss anything interesting?

Today is Adrian’s last day. He’s the guy that sits next to me. I think he must have mentioned it three dozen times so far. I guess you would, though, wouldn’t you? Well, you would if it was something that you’ve been looking forward to for the last couple of months. Its funny, just as he leaves he gets to do work that he actually enjoys doing (he’s a three D computer graphic artist, or how ever you call those people) The entire time he was here he didn’t get close to a graphic file and in the end he gets to make a full fledged three dee animation. Life has a funny way of creeping up on you.

Yes, you’ve probably noticed that I do not have terribly much to say. Started writing my first short story last night, but I don’t think I’ll put them up here. The buggers would be far too big for a quick scan.

Liana stopped smoking since yesterday 11 o’clock. Not too long but I’m considering just buying her a pack of cigarettes and getting it over with. Just look at her blog to see what I mean. She’s suffering. It might well be more harmful for her to stop then to continue. The fact is, she would like to stop but really sees it more as a severe reduction. Experience tells me that a ‘severe reduction’ A doesn’t work B doesn’t work and C frustrates the piss out of everybody around the person trying because it doesn’t work, but they still have to deal with the grumpiness.

Either that or I’ll harass the piss out of her, especially considering the way she’s been so far, that might be real good fun. See if I can cause her to spontaneously combust. I might have to run real fast after that, but it could be a good laugh. Like Chinese water torture. Drip drip drip drip….
