I'm not celebrating with my mates until the weekend, so I guess I wouldn't be missing out on any quality drinking time. And my plans are only to have lunch with my family that day, so that also won't be messed around with.

Plus I always like to be willing to help out my workmates and stuff. It's good to put things like that in the performance review. Except this year's one was just last week, so I'd have to save this for a year. Is clinging to something a year old as evidence of my good-employeeness acceptable conduct in performance review situations?


That has to be a euphemism...

I'd do it for the chocolate fish let alone the end of year brownie points.

Anyway; thinking of how much I love music.

Suicide is the answer imo.

Haha, crikey. Hadn't considered that possibility.

I'm wondering why Cricinfo viewers are considered a target audience for the "ARE YOU SINGLE?!?!?!" ad. Or is it just me?

Is it so hard to say, "I have plans that I can't change"?

Even if you don't have any, Christ Almighty, it's your birthday. Do something ffs.

I'm doing something on Friday night and having a family lunch on the Wednesday. Don't want to overdo it. 24's not a big number.

You should make the trip down for my 25th ripper. Don't worry, it's on a Friday.

I'm thinking that those car alarms that alternate through different sounds are inherently funny.

Why does nobody seem to carry a camera to all these CW meetups?
