Even with the chilly showers and the crap work, I find myself smiling here on a Wednesday for a couple of reasons. Arsenal 7 - Slava Prague 0. What a nice night for football last evening.
Furthermore, I got to see my friend Simone, who was just as charming as ever. What a cool girl.
There will likely be a train strike tomorrow, and I think the milk in the fridge has gone bad, but it's really just another Wednesday, eh?
cheers

Insanity's Circus
Yep, once again, I'm having an absolutely bloody awful month playing program manager. There are a few stories brewing, but I've not had the time to get anything written. I did manage a couple of days celebrating Oktoberfest (interpret that as: drinking self silly and being an idiot), and there have been a handful of laughs.
Unfortunately, most of the past thirty days have been bogged down with work, more work, countless meetings, and not a whole lot of things to smile at.
My landlord has extended my lease; I will be able to stay in my flat until June 2008, which is a great thing. Of course, the next morning after that news found me taking a cold shower. My hot water heater is on the blink, and for the past week I've been taking sponge baths. The report today is that the hausmeister is on holiday until the weekend, so I'm looking at another week of being a guest star on little house on the prairie.
I'm doing my best to find the humor wherever possible (ie...last night at 11pm standing naked in a bathroom the size of a gymnasium soaping myself up in 20 degree water is somewhat funny), but really haven't had a whole lot of pleasant thoughts, so it's a lot harder to write. I'd just as soon not keep a daily diary about work. Life is too short (thanks Pablo, Chris, Tim, Jeff, sis, and EVERYONE who has reminded me lately) to squander it away on some stupid job.
Arsenal are on telly tonight, and I need to stop by the bank before matchtime, so this was just a quickie to say that I'm still out there fighting with a vengeance.
