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

Yeah, sure. Bathroom and underwear

damn it... all I have* to do is sweep and hoover and then I can call it done... well done enough anyhow... I'm not going to let myself make chinese roast pork chow mein and prawn special egg-fried rice, until I've at least completed thiese little thigns of housework I have left to do Just folded up the bedding I washed earlier... now need to go make the bed and put away the dried bedding from today, and ... oooo, its just too hot for all this I'll have another can of guinness that oughta help me work up the energy to finish things off

You do WAAAAAY too much housework!

Training seemed to go okay, owner did lots of smiling and oooh I never thought of thating and seemed really happy. :D

I feel like Queen of the world now.

naa... I don't do that* much really, just waht I can get away with... Well cept maybe the kitchen, but that is only because I have to follow my lodger about as if he was a child and clean up after he's been in there...
I finally managed to drum up sufficient energy to do the sweeping and hoovering, and made dinner... though cooking seemed like too much heat generation to me, so made a king prawn ceiser salad, with some picalo cheerry tomatos, cucumber and spring onion on the side, and plenty of swiss cheese Only now I'm not sure I can make it upstairs in order to shower maybe some more vodka and water will help me to gain strength

I spent the entire day basking on the beach Roasted nuts anyone

Now I'm back at work tonight. Last time I was over here I had to cut a swinger down, too late alas, he was long gone I seen enough corpses in my time to know when the has departed. A sad fact of life in my occupation, he wasn't the first and sadly won't be the last.

can't be nice...
Finally managed to drag myself into the shower but it must still be the high twentys inside the hosue at the moment, probably a lot cooler outside

Cheers mate It does help to talk about it, I omit the gory details, some things you don't need to know.

I did enjoy sunning myself on the beach today, the perks of working nights for a change.

A swinger? Do I want to know?

anyway.

well its not a

well its not a

I've a friend who's a train driver these days (apparently that is what you do after you've got a degree in how to be an astronaught....) They get some unplesantness from time to time with suicide people deciding to use their trains to meet their end..... so again

Cutting a corpse down from a ligature wasn't on my list of things I wanted to do the other day, but hey ho, occupational hazard.
Why is it always me that gets nominated to go and cut the poor blighter down? The usual answer is because "You're totally ok and matter of fact about it, never bothers you like proper people". I really don't know what they're scared of, I always say "If he suddenly jumps up and says 'Boo', call the Vicar"
I also have a friend who is a train driver, his philosophy with track jumpers is just to look away. How many times have we heard on the Underground "Train delayed due to body on the tracks"
I don't have the option to look away now or in the past, can't aim otherwise One day there will be one body too many, then the rest will return to haunt me, till then

we had a chap here who used to volenteer to be first in with a swinger and cut them down, he would proptly then take the rest of the week off on a sicky with stress,

he once had the best part of a month off like that

no.1 week off
nights no.2 nights off
rest week off
first day back no. 3 week off

he's retired now

I don't have that option, along with everyone else in this job, it just gives the management another opportunity to dismiss staff.
Besides, when the Duty Gov came in, I was stood supervising the SOCO taking pictures with a + in hand. The others are right, it really doesn't bother me, I've seen and dispatched enough in my time not to be phased by it, we all have our coping mechanisms. The time may come one day, when they all come back to haunt me . Till then I sleep easy.
