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

I don't know why it seems so long.

I think there's an expectation that a four day week should always seem extra short and when it doesn't feel like that it's extra annoying.

On the credit side there's an official presentation for the people who retired a few weeks ago. We'll have to put up with a few speeches in the staff canteen but it's followed by a trip to the boozer and......a free bar.

Optometrist came to see him at work eh, psd?

Morning all.

Morning Captain.

That was a proper site meeting yesterday. I didn't even get home early.

Well, maybe a few minutes early.

Time for a cuppa.

Morning Jack.

I know what you mean about 'short' weeks. I always have that after bank holidays. Three day weeks that feel like it should be over by the time Wednesday is finished.

Morning people.

Tea break over.

Out of bed early today, Mac. Why couldn't you sleep? Roadworks outside? Noisy neighbours?

Did you wet the bed again?

Early night Jack. Let's be honest, it's not often I get woken up by anything.

You have certainly mastered the whole sleep thing, Mac.

It's your greatest talent.

If it's my greatest talent, do you mean I have other great talents too?

Just been to a presentation for someone who is emigrating to Oz.

And they had the biggest plate of small sausage rolls ever

Shame there was no wine to accompany it

Morning Mac Cap'n

Why, of course, Mac.

I just can't think of what they might be though.

Boozing maybe? Sex?

All the vices, probably.

There better be small sausage rolls at our presentation, later.

There will definitely be wine though.

Followed by the free bar.

PSD.

So PSD, you know Melbourne Sue too, eh?

Sounds about right Jack.

Of course it does, Mac.

Melbourne Sue says she's coming back in two years. That's because she can't bear to stay away from her neighbour.

Probably.

That sounds pretty accurate Jack. She'd miss out on Bedminton too much.

There can't possible be any other reason, Mac.

Debating what to do at lunchtime. There will be food in the pub later but it wouldn't be classed as dinner.

So do I have dinner at lunchtime or stick to my normal lunch and pay a visit to a takeaway on my way home tonight?

Decisions, decisions.

If it was me I would end up doing all of the above:

Dinner at lunch,

Food in pub,

Takeaway on way home.

I mean you know you had a good night when you find a kebab under your bed in the morning!

Jack if it was me, I'd way up what am I going to get more enjoyment out of. And given you can have a sneaky pint in the pub I'd be inclined to go for that.

Of course I don't know what takeaway you're thinking of though.

Or weigh up, in fact.
