h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Mags cancelled for Saturday night so we're going this week instead.. I didn't intend having a late night I just couldnt get to sleep.. as you know this keyboard misses out letters right left and centre and i've given up ages all together

S

you're still a youngster .how you getting on with your vat returns.any nearer to finishing them.have you still got 3 jobs.


T

oh dear don't remind me.. yes I still have 3 jobs but i'm trying only to go to the chemist 1 day a week now well afternoon I mean... another VAT return will be due at the end of Jan and i'm praying it aint me thats gonna do it but I have his feeling that its going to land on me again... I only worked till 3.30 today mind you thats without any break for coffee for dinner but I might do a bit more tomorrow... how is you work doing are you still having probs with it?

S

well i've decided that it must be me.i did an induction today from 9:30 till 11:00 with a 20 minute break.the bloke left at 11:30 saying he couldn't cope with catching the bus.thats four in a row now who've decided not to stay.still working with 50% staff,sweating and toiling just to earn a crust.

T

Oh dear.. i'm sure it's not you just people who don't want to work eh! I might join them... wouldn't mind sitting on h2g2 24 hours a day typing away... mind I better watch what i'm saying it might come sooner than I think.. after me putting all my eggs in the one basket.. the basket might break!! hard times in front of them... can't say too much tho.. i'm getting eay for bed now so I won't be on for much longer...

S

i'm with you (i wish).i'm going at 1:00am.i'll chat to you tomorrow hopefully.nite sammy.

T

I'll be here as usual, I feel built in with the bricks now.. Nite Trevor...

S

hi sammy,didn't get on last night hope you missed me.my team won at footie tonight and the adrenalin is flowing.how are you today.

T

well good on them, must have been a good game if the adrenalin is flowing.. and of course I missed you last night, was doing the word games till I went to bed.. havn't had the best of days but i'm fine now thanks.. whats your day been like?

S

we're in a bit of a lull at the moment but i fancy you (oops). i mean its going to get busy over the next two weeks in the lead up to xmas.got some of the kids presents only jordan to sort out really.
its ryans birthday on sunday,he'll be 9,we're going to have a party for him(family only).busy times ahead.

T

I dont think i'd like to have a birthday so close to Christmas ideally it should be in June to keep us happy all year.. same here workwise.. very busy and I had a blazing row with the guy I work for.. told him he could always bring in the Accountants to do it £125 pr hour he made promises to the bank that were totally impossible and he's gonna have to tell them that, but he always knows best, this time its backfired tho.. so I don't know what i'm in for tomorrow.. thats the first time we've had it quite so bad.. I usually just have a moan to my workmate and that does me but I saw red today and I could hardly breathe when I got home but i'm nice and calm now

S

i,ve felt your wrath so i can only have pity for the guy.you'll have to try and be a bit calmer cos you won't do yourself any favours.has he always been like this?is this one of those you're trying to get rid of.

T

no this is the job i'm keeping i'm good at making the right choices eh!... but I got to stay where the money is but even tho I didnt i'll always get work, I turn work away all the time.. Accountants seem to pass my name on without even asking if I want the work.. and yes he's always been like this but more so lately as he doesnt have any work to do he thinks I can't work unless i'm under his guidance.. told him today he's and NDT engineer and he couldnt prepare a set of accounts if he lived to be 100.. I can even feel myself uptight talking about it.. I don't get angry very often but when I do I make a good job of it...

I keep meaning to ask about the money? have you found it yet?

S

no sign of the money,don't know where to look.i've hidden it really well haven't i. it'll be a nice surprise if i ever find it.do you really want the aggravation of this job if you can go elsewhere.think about yourself for a change and go for the easy life.
your health has to come first

T

sammy i'm going off now beds calling.look after yourself and i'll chat tomorrow hopefully. nite babes

T

Nite Trevor.. i'll answer your other message later...

S

hi sam,just to let you know i'm on but i'm going to trivial pursuit for a bit till the house settles down.catch you in a bit


T

Hi Trevor, well my outburst yesterday worked.. I had a good day at work, peace to get on with things and no interuptions, it was so quiet I could hear the clock tick oh and I can't remember if I told you this yesterday or not but I was damned sick of him phoning me up to bring him this and that.. I told him to get off his fat a*** and do it himself because it takes me ages to get back into my work after all the interuptions.. when I told my workmate today what I said to him, she near fell off her seat but I was in a bit of a state at the time but at the end of the day I got what I wanted which was peace to get on with it.. alls well that ends well they say so whats your day been like?

S

hi sam,work is very disjointed at the moment can't get into any sort of rhythm.it looks like it might be like this till xmas.people at work are trying to persuade me to leave my car at home the day we break up so that i can have a drink.the suggestion didn't go down too well here, because i don't drink normally i could well end up legless.you know what its like you're in a group having a good time and its only when you walk outside that the booze hits you.i feel safe with the car but then again i could do with a decent drink.its a bit of a quandary.

T

Well I think you should go and enjoy yourself and leave the car at home this is not an every week occurance so it really shouldn't be a problem, we all have drinks out at that time of the year and so what if you take a bit too much, only you will be the one suffering the next day... but you could suggest a pub lunch to go with the drinks that way you've at least got something decent inside to help with the booze... I hope you go and enjoy yourself, you work hard all year so why not...
