Maybe it's the paint fumes

Well the office still reeked of paint. For the third day in a row. But on the plus side we were able to move the bookcases againist the walls finally to give the design team room. Of course now the darn things are moved it means someone has to go through them to clean them up and get rid of any excess books. Three guesses who that's going to be.

You'll have to excuse me in todays post. I've seen to have had one of those days where I've been thinking of lot of littles things so this post might seem a touch disjointed.

Engineseer is back in the country. I borrowed Grumpys car to go and get him from the station as I figured he would have rather large bags and for once one of my guesses was dead on. After one quick stop to get him some food from KFC for him and Black Widow it was time to head for home for him to collect his car and head back to his house to see what state Black widow and the Other one ( whose nickname is now the otherone as I can't think of a better one) had left it in. He's going to be busy for the next couple of weeks getting his uni project finished then he said that he will have a major party to celebrate it finishing and he said he would " Make sure I get invited to this one" we did make me wonder if that was a slip of the tongue or they have been having parties without inviting me. Hmmm, I guess that could be where all the ladies are as Engineseer and Black widow are grabbing them all or I'm just being paranoid. Of course it's only paranoria if no one's out to get me. At least I hope no one's out to get me.

I'm running a stand at work tomorrow as part of these birthday celebrations to tell people about what our department does. It will either go very well or I might just end up standing there like a lemon for two hours. Place your bets now folks!

In case you haven't noticed there are a couple of new additions to the whose who friends section on the right there. Drat as he's such a regular visitor and if he wants new codename is totally welcome to choose one and Yummy who is another person I knew at school, is great fun to talk to and was the only one to get back to me after my msn problems and tell me her details so I could add her to be my list so I can talk to someone via msn again. I could talk to other people if they actually paid attention to the email I send out on facebook, Engineseer and Cordelia looking at you, so looking at you right now :-)

I got home interested to see how the repair work had gone on the fence and got a big surprise instead. Most of the fence panels are gone. So that either means Grumpy has decided to get them all replaced or someone was really desperate for fence panels. I guess I'll find out when Grumpy gets home.

There were lots of confused people driving past work today. I'm sure they were confused by the large number of men washing the windows and not the large group of staff members flinging large inflatable hammers about in the car park.....

please don't ask.

If you haven't had a chance go and visit Rhonda's blog. It's very good and extremely funny at times. Also she name checked me the other day, which was nice.

Talking of good blogs, you should also try Alice's blog. Especially here series of articles on "English Education and Etiquette" which are very funny and you have any more suggestions for her I'm sure they'll be greatly received.

We were driving home from shopping a couple of Saturdays ago and noticed the chapel car park was full. Grumpy asked what was going on and when I said I didn't know he deadpanned that maybe there was another wedding on I hadn't been invited too. I simply gave him a look and he jokingly stated that I should try and get more in with the in crowd and I would get invited to more. I pointed out that it wasn't that big a deal if something was on and I hadn't been invited. If people had wanted me there I would have been invited. He simply smiled and said that I should look on the bright side and that if there was a wedding on it was one less person to invite to mine, but I did have to try and find a girl first. There followed a long period of akward silence in the car as Grumpy realised somewhat belately I might have not found that too funny. Well after all that it seems he was right as I noticed on facebook that someone has posted photos of M Y's wedding and it was posted the Monday after that Saturday. I don't know if she will be moving to the US but lets face it the odds are good that will happen.

oh I had to scrape the ice off the car again with a blazing sun and a blue sky. Crazy spring weather.

I've realised that I have now managed more posts so far this year then I managed for the whole of 2006.

Oh and really do wish news people would stop using the term Mormon in the headlines to describe the FLDS. A it's sensationalist and B some people don't know the difference between us and them. It's things like that which made the people studying GCSE history at the school I went to believe I could have many wifes! Well on the plus side at least they got the year the chruch stopped practising polygamy. They were out by 40 years yesterday.

anyway tune in tomorrow, same geek life, same geek channel.
