previous - "The Beautiful People" - next I've been a little confrontational today. Not violent
or anything, just a little cocksure and willing to argue. I think this has
come as a consequence of being the most technical/senior person on site
today (and having to put my confident hat on to respond to a few queries
that customers had called in with), plus having had a little more sleep
this latter half of the week and not feeling tired and downtrodden, plus
the fact I'd partially got myself in such a frame of mind in order to be
assertive when the estate agent rang.
Don't get me started on pissing estate agents.
Exactly what is it that they do? They are paid for doing precisely fuck
all, it seems. I know it's a cliche, but they really do contain a number
of examples of utter fucktardedness. I was seething with anger last night
as a result of a petty letter warning me that steps would be taken if I
didn't remedy some observations from a property inspection (observations
including 'dust on skirting boards' and 'move objects from near walls to
allow better air circulation'). I pointed out that fuck all had been done
about the damp/roof leak problem, and that the problems with the walls
being damp was due to that, NOT my having furniture.
I think my forceful conversation with the estate
agent rep today may have smoothed things a little, got some action from
the landlord planned, and took me out of firing lines.
I guess most people are blogging about the World
Cup playoff matches last night (Portugal beat Bosnia, Greece beat Ukraine,
Slovenia beat Russia) in reference to Thierry Henry handballing to knock
Ireland out. On one hand I am just as appauled, but I can't help thinking
that in all honesty had an England player cheated, we'd not be so
magnanimous. Micheal Owen diving to win penalties against Argentina, and
Gary Lineker doing the same against Cameroon, for example. Still, is a
shame that Ireland didn't get the opportunity to lose on penalties and
have thoughts of 'what if.. we're so unlucky...' to fall back on, as
opposed to feeling robbed.
Ooh, the big audit we had on Tuesday was pretty
good. We got four minor non-compliances, which was testament to the hard
work that I had put in, as well as the labours of the laboratory staff and
the central team. Apparently it was the best audit by that assessing body
that the site had EVER had :-)
LISTENING TO:- Delays 'Faded Seaside Glamour'.
Interesting and falsetto. He has a good voice forsure - there are elements
of Puressence in there at points.
Watched an amusing early X-Files this evening, which starred Giovanni Ribisi (sp?) and Jack Black as video arcade fans, lightning strikes and death. Funny.
