work work

its saturday afternoon.. the wind is howling outside and the rain is splattering on the huge window panes of this converted car showroom i work in. its not pissing it down. in fact its more like someone is spitting into the wind around the corner, and its landing on the glass, but its still quite wild out there. i cycled over to asda at lunchtime and wandered around making a couple of phone calls as i blankly ignored all the produce in the aisles. i'd though i was dead hungry when i set off, which is why i went out so early. but when i was in there nothing appealled to me. i ended up buying some vegetarian ready meal which i can microwave later and eat at my super tidy
desk

i always find it dead weird working saturdays. the office is really quiet, and being here makes me feel like i'm in detention at school. there are a few other people in here today. my colleague paul who has gone home for lunch, and some other people who look after the local network. no one is speaking at all.. and its not like theyre busy. ive just wandered past them to the toilet, peeking at everyone's screens as i passed, and they're all looking at ebay, or some sports websites or something. . during the week all theses people seem dead chatty. i guess it must be the fact that they're all wishing they were at home this saturday afternoon thats keeping them so mum..

ive put my phone on ebay for the hundred and fiftieth time . im hoping it will sell in a flash. i was talking to martyn last night who reminded me that the new nokia N96 is now available. so my once super desirable N95 is realistally , in phone terms at least. just some trash from the past. its probably gone down in value in the last week or so. if it doesnt sell this time (i'll know tommorow as i only put it on for one day) , or indeed i get ripped off again by some moronic compulsive bidder. im sorely tempted to see what happens if i place the phone on my log fire, or leave it on a bar and see if comeone steals it or hands it in, or pop it secretly into a lady's handbag, or a hoodies hood. surely these things would be better than the frustration of people not paying on ebay.

anyway, im off to milk a pigeon.
