Reflections.

On reflections having posted that earlier I fel little bad now... I wonder if saxon realises that usualy nobody reads this blog so if he hadn't linked it nobody would have seen it.... Illustrates the classic conundrum with something that's leaked; do you stay quiet and hope nobody notices or make a fuss to get it removed so everyone knows???
Looking at it though made me realise that I've bought some singles and albums that I probably wouldn't admit to in polite company. On reflection the first single I bought I now look back at and realise just how embaressing it was. I was reminded of this as I cleared out the cupbard under the stairs last week and found a load of stuff.

Also another no you didn't moment occurred at work this week. A young member of staff used our rapid toaster to try cok something he shouldn't have. This toaster toasts a bun in around 15 seconds and works vertically. You drop a bun in the topand then the two halfs go down separate sides toast and rejoin at the bottom. Instead of putting bread in he put frozen chicken patties in. The word 'idiot' was used in its proper context at this point.
This event lead to the toaster having to be taken off an throughly cleaned before reuse which is a major pain in the rear end. Not a fun day though it was something new. I usually tell new staff not to worry as in the legnth of time I've been in my job I've een everything
. This was new however and proves that if you think something is idiot proof a more advanced model of idiot will waltz right over and prove you wrong.

In closing murphys law really does suck (and if your geeky enough to know the difference between that and sods law you are a true geek. And for that I salute you!)

Later!

Horriable horriable things found....

Well, if you read saxons blog you probably know him and mewere clearing out his dads garage today. He has many photos to share and im sure they will appear shortly however i thought id share what I found as we were clearing I out. The horrors of this song and the mental scarring from the sheer rubbishness and irritation of this song came flooding back ;p

This would be so awesome...

While browsing a random news aggregator, i came across a thread discussing High School Pranks. The idea below had me in stiches-partly because i know I'd fall for it myself!

I post this in every prank thread, but the most awesome ever is when someone gets two goats, paints a "1" and a "3" on them, releases them in said school/office building/church/funeral home, and sits back and watches as the authorities go nuts looking for "2".

Pure genius!!

Another one bites the dust

Well church yeaterday was good. I arrived just after sarament as blackwidow slept in and had nothing to wear and therefore tok a while to sort out!
Church was good. The lessons on king benjamin and the priesthood also were both good. After that I had a nice quit afternoon. I spent several hours on the phone to people and then atge. In the evening I had a meeting in lichfield but had to collect 2 friends from leicestter making it a nice U hour drive there and another 2 hours back! We did pass MIRA thou which is cool! Yesterday I spent working on my uni project. Another cuple of sections bit the dust so now im nearly finished which is great and as a bonus my lecturer says it looks good too :) overall a good weekend. Now I have work tonight which is a litle boring but at least I can the look foreward to institute tomorrow night!

This made me smile

While on a short break from typing up my project report so i can graduate from university at last i found this rather amusing web comic from Dilbert.

several things amused me about this
number 1 is that it seems to be a description of my life sometimes
number 2 one well known "You might be an engineer if..." is that you have a dilbert on your office or cubical wall. As i have neither of these things (i have to share the office at work with all the other managers, and anyway, i should be out on the shop floor rather than in it) i think a blog is the next best thing!

Just another morning at the office

Well this week has been interesting. Weve been a little short staffed at work due to people calling in sick. This has lead to me doing the early shift at work today. Instead of a nice normal 8-5 im now working 5.15-2pm. Fun times! Its actually nice to do an early for a change. Its ben a while since I did one and I forgot how easy and fun they are. Once you get past the getting up at 4.30 (a time which should only be seen as part of the night before) its a good laugh. Institute was also good last nigh but ill post details when im home from work!
Laters!

Sent from a mobile device probably from the office at work...

So that was the night

After the assault of the vixens had abated i discovered that we had taken our enire projected sales for the hour in about 20mins which would make me look good atwork on Monday. Not to mention make some of the other managers little envious! The shift as a whole went well. Many drunks were served the senile old lady was mentioned over the pubwatch radio several times and we had street marshals hanging about inside the restaraunt for most of the night which ensured nobody caused any trouble! I had the last customers out of the door and the place emptied for about 00:05 and we then proceded to clean the place and i ended up gettign home a little earlier then usuall which was a good thing!
Well folks thats all for tonight. Now its time for bed before i wake for church tomorrow!!

The Vixens are here!!

Ahh Saxon would be so jelous
I just had the pleasure of serving the entire Southampton Vixens cheerleading squad..that's about 50 cheerleaders. As they were obviously students we sorted them all out with student offers. A little friendly flirting happen as we'll I think.... All part of giving great customer service. Its amazing the attention you can command when the ladies are hungry!!

The staff have arrived

So part 2 of the live blogging
The staff have just arrived on their way out for a night in he town centre. The ladies LN and SB made their customery pit stop to say hi on their way out. The senile lady reappeared and another large group of chavs occupied the lobby. I've also been listening in on our pubwatch radio to the fun the bouncers are having already and its only 10. Could be a fun night later!
