Everything That Matters And A Few Things That Don't.......

I see that bastion of tact and diplomacy David Duff has been upsetting people again. Ok, I suppose that's a bit like saying snow is cold, Blair is an egomaniac and Partick Thistle are bloody awful this weather. Thing is, he seems to have managed to get a rise out of the lovely but very boring Leah Darbyshire and her hubby. And Yishi the dog. It transpires that Leah has something of a backlog of bones to pick. Some of it does admittedly sound quite unpleasant, but there amongst it all is Mr Duff who earns a cuff on the ear for calling her dog 'Yucki' and for saying she's fat or something. C'mon, you got off lightly there Mrs Darbyshire. You want to hear what he's been calling the rest of us for the past year or so........ Anyway David, if she's 'fat' then I'm a certified chubby chaser and proud of it. In other news, please do take a wander over to The Gyp where Clairwil has been posting up her Krakow trip report. She's also put all us amateurs to shame by concocting a quite demonic lyrics/quotes quiz. That said, just because I found it near impossible doesn't mean you will.................I can be supernaturally dim at times. Good news of sorts about work. It would seem I won't be in the department from hell for too much longer. One of the other secondment victims was informed he'd be there for another two weeks at the very least. He reminded me a little of Yossarian from Catch 22, but not quite so cheerful. Then he started mumbling about laying down bear traps.................... It's pathetic, but i'm actually looking forward to getting back to my old brain numbing routine. The funniest thing about all this was the way my team leader tried to sell this temporary move to me. Instead of saying "look, we need a few bodies in another department, i've put you forward, can you do this? ", he's laying it on thick, busy giving me the 'change is as good as a rest' bollox and what a great opportunity it is for me. All that 'feather in your cap' shite can fuck off. I'm an admin monkey, I do what I do to pay digs, buy beer, cd's and spank mags. That's it. My desire to move within the company is non existant and I really hope he realises that. I don't think he does.
