Just like usual.
A-browsing through the stats programs I was, and I saw that visitors had dropped to 10% of what they were in February. I was totally distressed until I saw that some fiddling I had done with the domains meant my hits were going into a different log and there were 2121 uniques I hadn’t seen. I don’t just look through these logs to find the funny things people have found me while searching for, I actually care about how ‘popular’ I am. Each comment makes my day a little brighter. It’s like a smile from someone in the corridor. So thanks.
Smiles would be useful today since I didn’t really do anything, or go anywhere further than the charity clothing bin to drop in some old shirts that I don’t wear any more or, for that matter, talk to anyone apart from the lady in the Turkish shop where I stopped to get some lunch. The usual Saturday. Sounds awful, doesn’t it? Well it was just kind of average. At least yesterday worked out for me, and I got some work done today.
I have to give a seminar next week and there will be drinks afterward somewhere in the city. I will try to tear my heart out with a pencil, but if that doesn’t work I guess I’ll go along.
Just like usual.

As of next week I have Saturdays off [it’s been like a year]. I don’t know what to do with Saturdays. What do you recommend?

Like I said, I’m not very good at them. Maybe… er, no I can’t think of anything. Get a second job?

I work enough. Believe me. Doing nothing seems fun.

A pencil? WOOSE!!!
But really, why do you want to tear out your heart?

Work drinks are the most phoney social occasions apart from when you talk to your old classmates in the foyer at uni graduation. If I wanted people to *pretend* they liked me I’d go to a brothel or a poetry evening.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I attended my first work drinks to gel with my new workmates and also, the alcohol was cheap. I’m no fan of stupid small talk but once everyone’s had a few, the entertainment begins…

I only drink with the work people I like. Like Rinns. Great times. Unreal bitching. :)

I think it’s all about how much you drink. Some workmates you should never drink with, others you should only get drunk with. I have a drink with a couple of workmates each week, but only the nice ones.
