08:10 : In the office. I know, I’m a bit late but the way I see it is it doesn’t really matter. And that’s all I have to say about that. What time is lunch? There is a meeting kicking off in 18 minutes and I have managed to sneak my way out of it. That is usually a good 120 minute time killer but let me assure you, the pain is greater than the gain. I think I will hang out with my new best friend, Tinterweb. I just found out now that it really is a word and I can prove it.
Definition of Tinterweb: “The tinterweb is a slang word for the internet. It is used by those people who are actually geeks and spend all their time on the internet but who want to look cool and non-geeky.
“I was surfing the tinterweb last night.”, Godfrey the Geek exclaimed.
Maybe even a term that would excite Peas just a little? Hey Peas? Tinterweb?? No? Fair enough.
Moving on. Breakfast was the same ol’ crap they dish up every day. The only thing the hotel does for variety is move everything around to confuse the hell out of you. Ok. Need coffee.
Into some serious stuff now. Learn how to French Braid with Snav. I mean really, how difficult can it really be? Actually Snav, if you are too busy I can refer to my other new mate, Google. He told me about this site that can show you step by step. I’ll just need to borrow your head. With that sorted, I have only 9 left to worry about.
09:50 : Bumbling away here much better thank you! I have successfully killed another hour without slipping into a coma. That, my good friends, is an achievement on it’s own. My very own Pops (father of the clan) stopped by (via MSN) and helped me kill another 32 minutes looking for secure file share solutions on the Tinterweb. Result! Thanks Pops.
10:05 : As a direct result of yesterday’s mindless wandering aimlessly around my World Wide Wait, I have acquired a brand new, quite possibly, seemingly fantastic, new favourite band. It’s ok Foo Fighters, it’s ok Green Day, you guys are still right up there. Did I say Roxette? Hmmm. As mentioned yesterday, there is this great new band called Sick Puppies (I’m not so sure about the name though) that debuted recently. Check this out.

12:12 : Serendipity Baby! It’s lunch time! Gonna go for a Serendipity burger. Is that a meal you have by chance? Yummy. It is a great burger! Back later. Maybe.
14:38 : Lunch was great. Good food, good restaurant (Serendipity - in case you didn’t get it), great people and of course, no bloody office. Unfortunately however, I had to come back. Someone has to look after this place. And it’s my job to fill that position until someone capable comes along. Hmmm. An interesting turn of events this morning that I have just been reminded of. I cannot divulge any much info I’m afraid. I wasn’t completely privy to the entire on goings leading up to this event but some people came out of the meeting and looked at me and said, “Don’t expect to be leaving here anytime soon”. Or something to that effect. My stomach turns. I may just have to become an Albanian citizen, marry a beautiful Albanian woman (there’s enough of them around on offer) and have Albanian kids who will grow up to be corrupt and who don’t know how to drive a car. Too hectic? Wedding bells? You think I’m over-reacting? Maybe.
15:31 : Stoo is on his way to Scotland the backstabbing, let-me-down, unreliable, untrustworthy, I-deserve-a-holiday, bastard ex-mate. So much for drinking buddies huh? Slightest little glimmer of greener pastures and he is off! I don’t care if he is only going away for two weeks R&R (holiday). Look I know he will read this at some stage so I better write nice as well.. He leaves for the airport in about 2 hours. Lucky man. It seems his parole came through after all.
Hey Stoo, have an awesome trip mate. Best wishes to the family. Have a wonderful Easter. See you in 2.3 weeks. Tell that Byron ex-Saffer numpty I say hi. You don’t have to mention the ex-Saffer numpty bit cos I know he is still twice my size and heavily armed!
17:18 : I am slowly gnawing away at my wrists. I’m through what felt like 3 tendons but I still haven’t managed to hit anything worth while. That’s probably because I really just can’t be assed to gnaw harder or faster. I am pretty sure I have viewed every single page there is on the web at least twice. My eyes are killing me and head is about to explode. If I had a memory retention span of something slightly larger than a goldfish or a gnat, I could have probably been pretty close to the being world’s smartest man by now. But I don’t, so I’m not. My highlight of the day so far is merely the knowledge that tomorrow is Sunday. A very kewl Sesh coming up I hope. I will probably achieve just as much as I did today except I am allowed to sleep and not have to feel guilty. Yes I feel guilt ok. It’s the fleeting pang that shoots through me every 2 or 3 hours. Fortunately it doesn’t last longer than a second or two. Maybe that’s just coffee withdrawal?
17:59 : Hmmmmm Beeeeeeeeeer
21:37 : Hmmmmm More beeeeeeeeer
22:10 : I cant remember.
Goodnight.
