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

The only one that's been in my department almost as long as me is Bob...he's the pot plant that I've been trying to kill for the lasrt 4 and a half years...

...the bosses and I haven't really talked in the last week or so...all my attentions are to training the new girl...I suppose once that's all done they won't need me here anymore and can sack me with a clear conscience !

Had to pop off and do some work.Yes I do work. Still that's it, Transmissions through to 06:44. Might pop down and get some breakfast in a minute.

Know what you mean about being in the office for so long. I'm surrounded by kiddiewinks. Leastways that's what they ,look like. I'm looked on as the old man of the office.
with Bob. He just keeps bobbing along, huh. night time brain dead.

Look, while training the new girl, it's always as wise to keep something back. The type of thing that happens once in a blue moon, that only you know how to deal with. Then they have to keep you, as no-one else knows what to do when the once in a blue moon happens.

You don't need to explain...I myself am brain dead as well today...

The thing is I've been here nearly 5 years (as in 5 years next week, not that I'm counting ) and I'm _still_ the youngest person here...it's hard to plead senority when everyone's older than you ...

Yeah, Bob is just constant proof that it's not as easy to get rid of something as you'd like to believe...I guess he and I are similar like that !

I won't have any problem leaving things out when training the new girl...I do so much of this stuff without thinking about it that I am really bad at showing other people how to do it ...ahh, it's one of the disadvantages to having a memory like a fish...

...which is probably exacerbated by drinking like one...

Just nipped out for a breakfast. There are four lifts. A,B,C, & D. Lifts A,B only go to ground floor. C,D go to Lower Ground where the canteen is. Why is it when ever you call the lift to go down, you only ever get lifts A or B? Which means you either have to walk down two flights of stairs, or call C,D and go down one floor in the lift. An engineer said the nearest lift arrives. But often C,D are either the next floor up, or below, but you still have to wait for A, B to come all the way down from the 8th floor.
God am I being boring or what?

Rant over.
As to Bob, you'll most likely find you have a love hate relationship and if anything were to happen to Bob, you'd be very upset. It goes like that.

No worries...it's about 30 minutes til home time and I'm having my lunch now !!

Wow...your lift situation is bizarre...we have four lifts...they go everywhere ...is there a reason only two of them go "all the way"? Did they go to Catholic schools ??

As for Bob ...he's been the bane of my existence for the last 5 years...it's only in the last few months that he's become my responsibility...I just wish he could've dies at someone else's hands before it came to this...

I don't believe you feel that way about Bob. He's just a plant, after all. Anything happens to Bob and you'd bawl your eyes out. Oh yes you would. You would. I said you would!!!

Been watching World Service television, there's only sport on the other channels. They say heavy rain in Melbourne. So Good Luck. Leaving in 30 mins, huh. I'm still here for another 2 and a half hours. It is 05:30 here, and I'm on the job until 08:00, can I rephrase that? I'm here until 08:00.

Bob is the only person in the office I can be openly hostile to...many times I have been watering him and saying "I don't know why you're not dead already...no one hear wants you..."

...they say it's good to talk to plants, don't they ??

Heavy Rain? Superb, I can wear warmer clothes ! And I've got two brollies, I suppose I may as well get my monies worth out of them !

Wow, so you'll be in til 7pm our time...crikey...I hope they send in more entertaining people than me when I leave you !

Don't be silly, You entertain me through out the night, you and Tsarina. Can I rephrase that. I mean The pleasure of exchanging postings with you both. You are both bright and cheery and chatty, what is what one needs on a lonely night shift.

So, are Tsarina and I tag-teaming it, or are you expecting us both to entertain you at the same time ??

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may incriminate me.

...see, that's the problem with boys today...they never let people know what's going on in their heads...

No committment

Strange...strange little man......

Men have no committment, they say.
I refuse to fly to America on Virgin airlines. I won't go on anything that doesn't go all the way

I wouldn't want to fly with someone who's only doing it for the first time !

Anyways, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I've been catching up on what happened over the weekend...

I think I'm leaving in about ten minutes anyway...

Nights next Mon Tues & Wed, catch up with you then.

So well, here I am. 21:15 on a Monday night. Hhhheeeellloooo!!

Anyone there????

So, you've arrived have you? And just where do you think you've been, young lady? You're late, have you a note?

sir, I've been away on holidays...

...holidays of course meaning sleeping in late, drinking before 12 and staying up til ridiculous hours...

...but I am ever so sorry I missed you ...will you please, please accept my most sincerest apology ??

Well it wasn't me, so much as Bob

Dog kept me awake much of the day, so not much sleep. Very tired at the moment. How have you been?
