2-4-6-8, It's the Shift where we're up Late...

21:45 / 12.03.03

I'd say summat inspirational, but it'd make me a hippiecrit, cos I'm skiving and surfing this here board of loonatix instead of doing my work.

Well, precisely! Please, someone, take this bulletin board away from me before I do myself a mischief with it...

(this website has sharp edges and is not suitable for children under three)

21:56 / 12.03.03

You're getting a sore throat? That takes me back to the Sixth Form- I used to stage manage the shows and there was this one girl who used to get a scratchy throat everytime she was in a production. I had to keep a bottle of water for her... hopefully it's psychosomatic (is that the right term?).

21:58 / 12.03.03

I would heartily suggest you avoid The Black Heart Procession if you want to get anything done. It's making my day fairly bleak.

Especially this one.

Goodness Gracious Meme

Kat, Bill.

STOP READING AND DO SOME WORK.

Bleak? Bleh. Listen to some Japanese rap. I don't know what it is, but it sure as hell ain't bleak.

I'm excited! I've got a tutor for ancient Greek! My cooking may suck, but hey, I've still got my education! How's everybody?

22:49 / 12.03.03

Tired. Hungover. At work. Otherwise, fucking great. Currently trying to decide which of the CDs I brought with me to listen to. And dicking around on the board instead of monitoring papers.

22:51 / 12.03.03

I, like a fool, thought I would give up smoking. Again. So I'm all edgy. And I'm not doing any work either.

22:58 / 12.03.03

I suggest you have a cigarette, sit back for ten minutes and drink a cup of tea and then do some work.

I'm having an OK time, I'm reading about Odinism and Hecate and thinking about planning a solstice ritual that somehow encompasses the invocation of both. Fun fun! I also might pop downstairs in to the cold air to have a fag in a few minutes.

23:10 / 12.03.03

AAAGGGHHH! I've just found out that we have no coffee! How can you get a bunch of people on a night shift without coffee?

23:26 / 12.03.03

Your bosses are either sadists or incompetents - dunno which would be more irritating really...

I hate this writing business. It feels like trying to hatch out of some kind of egg - I'm still stuck at the membrane. I wish I had a nice sharp beak.

No coffee is just wrong. I made the mistake of going to do 6 hours of studio work (electronic music) at uni without any coca-cola today. Mistake. I fell asleep on my coat for 1/2hr.

23:30 / 12.03.03

Cat- I think it's probably a subtle blend of the two.

23:38 / 12.03.03

Coca cola is wrong and coffee is lovely

Drink milk, dudes, drink milk. Like coffee without the cough.

23:58 / 12.03.03

Or the caffeine, unfortunately.

00:06 / 13.03.03

On that note I think I might go home and drink... a cup of tea. A bit of caffeine, a dash of milk and a lovely aroma. Assam rocks.

telyn

00:07 / 13.03.03

I did have milk with me though, and a baguette thing. Blatantly flaunting the "no food or drink" rule but nobody was going to notice. Rah. I have 4 minutes or so of rather bizarre acoustmatica. Fingers crossed the person I am writing it for likes it.

00:22 / 13.03.03

Stoaters, if you were as badly addicted as me you'd carry your own jar around. There was none left for me when I got in today, so I damn glad I do it even if it does prolly look eccentric.

I also might pop downstairs in to the cold air to have a fag in a few minutes.

Thanks for that Anna, thanks a fucking million. ;-)

Or maybe we could all go outside and run round the block three times, then come back and first post back is the winner.

Of course I'm pathologically devious so I'd probably say 'Go!' then sit here for five minutes and type 'Beat you all!' in a joyous font. Damn, I'm mischievous.

Weeee! I found the one Chinese supermarket that illegaly imports Red Bull from Thailand! It doesn't look like I'll need help staying up to write tonight!

Stoatie: You should get one of those coffee press/travel mugs. They rock in situations like yours.

Everyone back to work yet?

Mazarine

01:10 / 13.03.03

Illegally? Dude, where the hell are you? Ohh... Canada. Sugar, screw Red Bull. Have you ever had The can of Whoopass? I've only tried the U.S. flavor, but I for one far prefer it to Red Bull.

Brigade du jour

01:15 / 13.03.03

Opposed as I am to advertising and marketing on principle, and because it's the tackiest fucking thing in the universe, The Can Of Whoopass has got to be the cleverest product name I've heard for ages.

01:16 / 13.03.03

We've been discussing this coffee situation at work, and we've figured it's like The Hole- tomorrow they'll ban us from smoking, the next day they'll hide all the toilet paper, and then they'll break the crisps machine and cut off the water... just to see who cracks first.

01:17 / 13.03.03

Two words: Throbbing Gristle.

Baz Auckland

01:19 / 13.03.03

Maybe you should check that the doors are still unlocked. Maybe they've sold you all to some bizarre experiment!

Doctor said that I shouldn't have an operation unless it's unavoidable. It's very avoidable right now. Whoopee me!

01:48 / 13.03.03

Yay reflect!
I swear, this fucking office gets weirder every night.

02:39 / 13.03.03

Reflect: woo-ta!

Our Lady of The Two Towers

02:58 / 13.03.03

Splendid, Reflect.

Would it be selfish of me to whine about how I'd kill for a cigarette right now? I'm getting repetative aren't I? 'Kay, I'll shut up. Or go buy some, come to think of it.

05:41 / 13.03.03

Well, not up late but I was up early, having had a dream where I turned on the light and some woman jumped me, so that's put paid to me sleeping again. And on my day off too. Pah. So I thought I'd swing by here before my 'evenings and weekends' signs off for ten hours.

Just wanted to wish Kat all the best for her presentational thing.

ONLY NICE THINGS

09:35 / 13.03.03

Bill: My advice? Buy a pipe. The things are so bloody awkward that you never actually bother to fill them up (you can help this by getting a friend to chew the stem a bit, so it looks utterly unappealing and covered in somebody else's mouthy goodness) and smoke them, but playing wiht them provides an excellent way to keep your hands busy.

Also, you can emphasise points by tapping people in the head with the bowl. Nobody resists....the power of Briar.

14:40 / 13.03.03

It's quarter to three. And I'm STILL AWAKE.

This sucks.
