What a boring day!
It's boring. How about you? What's happening with you guys?

Right now, I'm sitting in the most boring class in the history of human beings. It's about how the search engines works, but it's really not, it really is 'how do I find the page that I want with Google'. It's amazing how someone can speak for so long about a simple subject, and not really saying much at all. I want to rip my hair out and stick a knife to my eye and I want to take some sandpaper and give some remedy to the dude sitting next to me and having a rash.

Anyway, how about you?

Well, I'm sitting at my desk having just eaten my lunch. I am about to write a letter to someone who wants permission to have work done to reposition a memorial headstone in the town cemetery because a tree is slowly growing and pushing it over. He is also asking for the council to contribute to the cost. I am trying (and will shortly succeed) to find the words to tell him to get stuffed and pay the bill himself without being rude.

Just another day at the office.

This person needs to understand that he is wasting his time asking for money. However he is also wasting my time and if I am obviously rude he might complain to the council and waste even more of my time. Besides, a subtle insult is more satisfying.

Ah, the joys of dealing with the public in a litigious society.

Just had a micro pizza(pathetic, i know) and vanilla coke(first time in my life) for luch. Played a little fallout tactics on the luch break. Now I'm preparing things for tomorrow and select some confidetial papers to be shred tomorrow morning. The shredder itself is so loud that its forbidden to use it after 900 am, which means I will be coming to work an hour earlier than usually.

Boring? dont tell me...

I have been trying to make Mozilla to display the proper Chinese typeface on Linux.

Actually that's not too boring.

I'm experimenting with food today. For breakfast, I stuffed a croisant with choclate covered almonds and put it in the oven. (still in there) And for lunch, I have to figure out a way to make left over brussel sprouts edible. (I'm thinking of chopping them up and puting them in a black bean sauce stir fry)

So the boring day continues.. just came, had to listen 90 minutes straight without pauses how you really can find nice things with Google. 90 minutes. 90. 90 minutes!

Well anyway, I'm about to put pizza to oven, though it's micro pizza too. I guess I could always download a new game? Anyway, welcome to the society of the bored.
Someone, make an interesting thread, it should be heated and have lots of debaters. Quickly!
