Meh

Rolling Rocky didn't win his race; but his legs didn't fall off and he did manage to come second, so I got back my wager and won all of seven euro. Not great, but better than losing my stake.

It's been a rather quiet week, other than a little argy bargy with one of the other offices who are claiming that the couriered some rather important documents to us. This will be culminating in a meeting on Monday morning where I have to very patiently explain to them that no, we don't have them and no, they really weren't in with the other stuff you sent. This will most likely continue until some bright spark finds them on their desk and they have a good laugh about it. They are allowed to do that sort of thing as they are head office, and we work out of a shed somewhere in Ireland. I love that, if they make an error it's oversight; if we make one it's the end of the world.

All plans for the weekend had to be cancelled when a house guest turned up unexpectedly for the weekend. Never mind, I haven't seen him in ages and hopefully the weather will pick up so I can take him out and about. He also brought a stack of CDs for me, which was nice. I've been checking out the 2 CDs for £9.99 on Play.com and having a bit of a chuckle to myself; they're appalling. Things like Black Lace's greatest hits! I thought they only had one hit, the execrable Agadoo, about ten million years ago. Does anybody buy this crap?
