Oh, My Brain!

[Byron Virgo]

So, anybody else been having a shit day? So far, I've been working nearly a twelve hour day, although I don't get paid for all of it, with the prospect of having to travle down to Kings Cross for work tomorrow during rush hour.

Plus I work every Saturday (the last time I had a Saturday off was Dreddcon, and I was sleeping on a mates floor then, in the freezing living room of his flat). Barring two days of illness, I haven't had a Saturday off in more than a year. I don't even remember what weekends are like anymore.

I also lost half of this Mr. T article I'd been writing, due to a fucked up floppy, when I was only a sentance away from completion. I'll repeat that - ONE SINGLE GODDAMN SENTANCE!

Finally, I have now convinced a number of bastard parents that I am a grade A nutcase after I smacked my head against the wall. This was because I'd been chasing their bloody kids round all afternoon, picking up all the books and toys that they littered all over the floor, and which their parents NEVER, EVER pick up (even thought, technically this isn't even in my job description). Anyway, I turned round at one point and what do I see? A little girl pull all the books that I spent about an hour sorting out this morning onto the floor and start walking over them. So, given the level of frustration I was inevitably feeling, I decided to take it out on the wall, which I smacked my head against. Admittedly, this was done somewhat harder than I had originally anticipated for, and is still rather painfull. However, the mother of the offending child immediatly rushed over and, without a word, started picking up the books. Then everyone left. Everyone. There wasn't one person left. I thought to myself that 'I should do this kind of thing more often'. Little did I know that they'd complaine to my manager about a "psycho member of staff repeatedly banging his head against the wall just because the kids made a little mess". LYING BASTARDS!

Anyway, enough bile from me. I think I may be slightly concussed, as I feel a little dizy and it feels kind of wierd getting my eyes to focus in unison. Still, at least you guys listen to me. Err...hello...anyone there?

why were you writing an article on Mr T?

BTW- sympathies on the bad day - Id didnt have a computer at work till midday - our IT departments is run by dullars who think fixing a computer just takes switching it on and off... If I hear the phrase 'waggle the cable' again I swear Ill go postal on their asses...

[Byron Virgo]

Yup, some days it just ain't worth gettin' outta bed (except for the fact that getting out of bed earns me some money, and I'd get fired if I didn't do it).

[Quirkafleeg]

Mr T, our resident computer expert, says: "Don't realy on no floopy you crazy-ass fool. And that's the jazz."

[Byron Virgo]

I know, I know! But I was at work. I ask you, in all honesty, what was I to do? I was stuck between a rock and..another similarly sized rock.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Has anyone got a remote control Mr T? I bought three for people's Christmas but never got one myself.

Mere words alone cannot decribe the sheer quality/ crap hybrid desireability of this product.

As the man himself says:

"Cut your jibba-jabba"

and get one for me (*)















(There are some things it is simply too embarrassing to buy for yourself. You know, like pot noodle or porn or the LOEG DVD. But if someone was to buy it for you then that would be okay)

"ever heard the phrase 'work to live' not 'live to work'"

Well, I heard of it, but to be honest I can't say I ever understood the meaning.

You'd understand what it was like if you were working ten hours a day, six days a week (grumblegrumblewasn'tlikethisinmydaythesekistodayItellyertheydon'tknowwhichsidetheirbreadsbutteredon)

Still, I know what would cheer me up - a Mr. T in my pocket!

Writing Mr.T articles?

Nutting walls in front of kids?

The next step doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

And how were the parents "lying bastards", if that was just what you did?

Seriously, very funny thread!

[Byron Virgo]

I only did it once, not repeatedly, and much harder than was actually intended. Look, I was the one in pain fer chrissakes!

Godammit, can't get any sympathy anywhere!

[Proudhuff]

BV, you have my sympathies, the Great British public are a bunch of self centred myoptic swine.

Cheer up Byron. At least you have a job. Oh wait... I dont want one...

Still, if it's any consolation you are the victim of evil forces here. Your actions were perfectly justified given the stresses you were under.

I headbutt the wall all the time! I think...

Anyway there were seven spoons and we all laughed so hard mrs Tiggle bottom made us all go to bed early! Eehehehehehehe!
