Two hours in and I'm done with it. Can't be arsed.

Doesn't bode well for the rest of the year, really.

Should a gentleman of your vintage not be considering retirement?

I've spent the last two hours sorting out someone who broke their wrist ice skating on the 20th December and now seems to think that means she can spend the next six weeks sitting on her arse. :baghead:

Indeed.
I also really do not wish to hear about other people's boring Christmas stories.

I may become more cheerful in March.

I developed a throat infection on 27th and spent until yesterday shivering under two duvets.

A splendid christmas break indeed.

An associate editor. It means she can't drive and at worst, she'll have to type one-handed. :shrug:

I may suggest that, r. Needless to say, one of your colleagues is happy to sign her off for eternity. :rolleyes:

I was sick too.

and worked all the other days. I think I will **** it off next year.

I might actually f the whole of this year off too.

You can't defenstrate an entire year. It's physically impossible. Whatever you do, the year will happen, and it will happen with you in it, unless you remove yourself from it. :-( That's not what you're thinking, is it?

I'd suggest you call the Samaritans but Ian Harvey might answer :-(

I expect the source of your chagrin is that you may have to actually do some work now b?

Ice skating is a bit of a spastic thing for grown adults with other responsibilities to do if you ask me, f. Basically asking to get injured.

Exactly, h. Here I was looking forward to a nice day sitting around scratching myself and here I am having to write letters and talk to HR people (and we all know what cùnts they are, right?). Very frustrating.

In my exalted position I obviously won't have to be doing any of her actual work, but I will have to shuffle the deck a bit and lumber some other poor sods with it. And frankly, that's enough of a pain in the hole.

The idea of Ian as a Samaritan never fails to make me laugh. :hehe:

They want to go at work :-( they ask me if I can skate even though they know I played Ice Hockey for years :shrug:

However I find public skating sessions rather boring.

Oh, it's different if you're an expert. But people who do it once every few years and then seem surprised to discover that ice is a/ slippery and b/ quite hard get zero sympathy from me.

I once went to a Christmas press lunch at Somerset House where ice skating was a pre-lunch activity. Knowing I was shít at it and hadn't done it for about 15 years, I sat it out, preferring to get an early start on the drink. Gratifyingly, one of my press colleagues fell on his arse and cracked his coccyx. I had to work very hard not laugh.

Well then I suggest you simply delegate the delegating.

HR people? **** di tutti ****i

And the sanctimonious, supercilious ginger cnut would start lecturing you about how selfish and unsocialist you were being.

As I say, the only way I can ever see a conversation with Ian making one less inclined to selbstmord would be by transforming one's suicidal feelings into homicidal ones.

Yup, walked straight back in to an email from an unhappy customer regarding a job we delivered just before xmas. Looks like a reprint and money lost.

Seems like 2019 is gonna be a **** of a year, then again I can't remember the last one that wasn't :-(

Happy New Year y'all :wave:
