i wish i had a harpoon

30Jun09

There is a chap standing at the printer. He keeps sniffing. I’d like to shoot him.
Sniff, sniff, sniff. I bet he was at the coke this lunchtime.

put down your gun there, laddy

30Jun09

Y’ain’t The Milky Bar Kid, y’know.
It appears that diplomacy may have won the day in the media hostage negotiation department folks. I almost don’t want to type this for fear of invoking Murphy’s Law and the whole thing going to pot in a rather spectacular way.
Or worse.
The whole thing going to pot without so much [...]

eat my pr planning shorts!

29Jun09

In other – much better – news, I got an email from the CIPR this afternoon. Yes, the outcome of The Evil Bitch Planning Assignment From Hell.
And I passed.
With a merit (again!).
Pity I’m going to end up deferring the final project for three months… Still, I passed it! Yay! Two down, one to go (eventually).

monday moodiness

29Jun09

Another tired and miserable Monday morning. Yeah, the sun is shining outside and it is a lovely day, but I’m not feeling the love today.
I came out of our catch up meeting to discover that one of our guys had sent around a PDF clipping of some coverage and demanded one of the internal comms [...]

“you can’t make this shit up”

28Jun09

…I said to Mr Percy.
I have just 18 minutes until I have to leave again to get back to where I was and I have other things I have to do in that time. I can’t be late. It is more than my pathetic middle class life is worth today.
I just wanted to say, first [...]

a waste of a year and a half

27Jun09

The Mechanic and I split up about 20 minutes ago.
Yesterday was our year and a half anniversary. He forgot. I wouldn’t mind, but it is the half year ones that we agreed to make “the special day” rather than the year ones as those fall days away from the expenses of Christmas and his birthday. [...]

bloomin’ heck

26Jun09

66% of UK women wear the wrong bra size and I am one of them.
Up until today, I believed I was a 34C, although the little blighters do keep trying to escape from the confines of the cup on a regular basis and, deep down inside, I knew it was time to get measured again.
Well, [...]

and housing becomes a bit of a drama

25Jun09

Well, it wouldn’t be Soupy without unnecessary drama, would it?
On Tuesday I blogged at length about moving out of London to The Commuter Belt. Given my flatmate’s redundancy situation and lack of enthusiasm for trying to weed a normal new housemate out of a flatsharing website or Gumtree (is it bad that the word Gumtree [...]

well, you’re a busy little bee

24Jun09

I nearly mis-typed that heading. You nearly got: “Well, you’re a busty little bee”. That would be accurate also, given the ever-expanding boobage going on here, but it’s not what I wanted to blog about today.*
I am so so so busy with work that I am feeling quite out of the virtual loop. I’m not [...]

hurtling towards middle age

23Jun09

I am leaving London.
Yes, that’s right, you heard me: I am kissing the Big Smoke goodbye.
Ok, I will be hunting for a new flatmate to share here, but if someone totally normal doesn’t turn up, I am not going to settle for just anybody to pay the rent. If I don’t have someone lined up [...]
