The slowest penny

This morning I really did think that the world was on its head. The tube was virtually empty, and the office was locked when I arrived. This is not unusual, I usually get in about an hour early, and the managers arrive shortly after 8am, but as the minutes slipped by I started to really wonder whether I had missed some vital information the previous week, like, “Your company will cease to exist as of this weekend”. Bored out of my brains after waiting for 50mins, I went to a coffee shop to buy a juice and asked the girl whether there was any reason why there was noone about this morning. She just looked piteously stupid and said something about bus timetables changing. Now, London PT can be pretty wacky, but even a severe timetable change couldn’t have stopped everyone from getting to the office. Finally a familiar face arrived, my morning waiting friend from “operations”. When I started complaining about waiting since 8am for someone to come she looked at me a little odd and said, “you mean 7 am…”. Well, this was when the slowest penny started to drop.

Hmm. If you can get up an hour early (5.45am) and shake your fist at the world for not following suit, you know you are a little too well rested for anyone under the age of 50.

I gotta get out more!

Which brings me to how your day is going. It turns out that, on average, your day is going pretty damned well!! 21% of respondents had "sun shining out of their eyeballs". Since I think that the sun shines out of the arseholes of all of my friends and random readers, this makes for a pretty sunny bunch!! Meanwhile 17% of people are about to explode from happiness. I am well impressed. Impressed and bored. Bored to death of having that damned survey on the side of my page, so it is over. You will have to determine your own average happiness from now on.

Instead we have a new survey in honor of tangles really really not knowing what is going to happen in the future. I have now been in the UK for about 2 months. I am in contract work that will end shortly. You, gentle kind all-knowing reader, can help me see into the future by completing the NEW SURVEY on how long I will end up on these bonny shores.

PS - if it is over 6months please send food.
