Today…

[Jonathan Capps]

I have just woken up, thus sleeping through every last scrap of daylight.

What depressing things have YOU done today?

Topic

[Jo]

Worked at Carphone Warehouse :o(

[John Hoare]

Beat myself off to depressingly bad porn.

[Pete Part Three]

Bored myself stupid (and possibly everyone listening) by waffling through a seminar.

[TheLeen]

Worked. Worked. Worked. I’m actually still working my work at work, workingly.

[Jonathan Capps]

Maybe if we all put our heads together the bullet can do down the line.

[Ian Symes]

> What depressing things have YOU done today?

Your mum.

[Andrew]

Had to find a way to cut a third out of a film script.

[Mnoooah]

a) Spent an hour wrestling with audio and video deficiencies on a BRAND NEW laptop.

b) Reserved xmas boarding for my pets because whereas they would *not* get into every goddamn thing while I am gone, my friends and family almost certianly will.

[ChrisM]

Shaved my hair very, very short. I mean practically skin-head short. (But without their political leanings, obviously.)

Not really all that depressing I suppose, and it doesn’t look that bad, but I feel a bit self conspicuous. I took to wearing a hat before confronting family. Trouble is, I feel a bit self conspicuous about the hat indoors now too.

Just cut out the middle. That’s where all the crap usually resides.

[Andrew]

> Just cut out the middle. That?s where all the crap usually resides.

Yeah, who needs a second act?

[Mnoooah]

Crikey, that sounds pretty ill fated. <:(

Nah. I’d just cut out every third word. More interesting by far.

[TheLeen]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Andrew]

> Crikey, that sounds pretty ill fated.

Nah – it’s strictly a duration problem. It’s all good stuff. Just WAY too much of it.

[Mr Flibble]

Andrew’s turning Red Dwarf The Movie into a mobisode.

[Mnoooah]

Ah, that’s a lot better than I envisioned:

Andrew’s colleague: Man, this is bad. We have to make this at least a third less awful if we’re going to make it at all.

Andrew: Well, there’s really only one way to do that…

Unless you wrote it, in which case I apologise for even thinking of it. ;)

[Phil]

>Andrew?s turning Red Dwarf The Movie into a mobisode.

God bless us, every one.

[Ian Symes]

Got to work and realised that the suit for tonight’s party that I was carrying is no longer in my hand. Spent the morning absolutely shitting myself in terror – eventually leading to an embarrassing panic attack in the toilets – before realising that I’d in fact left it on the fucking sofa.

[Jonathan Capps]

There’s probably a joke about being unsuitable or something here, but I CAN’T BE BOTHERED.

[Jonathan Capps]

Today’s TOS update is currently 65 minutes late.

[hummingbird]

> it?s strictly a duration problem

Nothing to ashamed of. A lot of guys have that problem. ;)

It’s Christmas. They’re pissed.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Went in woolies, i’ve been in cemetary’s with more life!

[ChrisM]

>Went in woolies, i?ve been in cemetary?s with more life!

Ah, but I be there weren’t any zombies behind the till though were there? Or a till for that matter…

[Andrew]

The sad truth is I went in to Woolies to take advantage of the cheaper stuff…and STILL couldn’t find anything I wanted to chuck money away on. Which pretty much summarises the reason things got this bad for them in the first place.

[Jo]

I bought lots of pens from Woolies the other day, I wish I’d bought some pick ‘n’ mix too though… for old times sake!

[hummingbird]

> but I bet there weren?t any zombies behind the till

Yeah, 27,000 zombies that are now out of a job.
Wish them Merry Christmas while you’re at it, why don’t you?

[Jonathan Capps]

Woah, save a little self righteousness for the rest of us!

[ChrisM]

I was just kidding, no malice intended. (I couldn’t resist the graveyard link.) The staff members at my local Woolies I’ve seen there have actually been ok mostly, even pleasant. My apologies to any here affected by the recent cutbacks.

We’ve all seen some pretty zonked out faces in shops etc, though haven’t we? Sean of the Dead made a whole extended joke about it. The faces of the girls in job agencies are the worst. Ironically it puts me off going in there to seek work… yes I’m unemployed too. (I tend to rely on the web for jobsearch. Not much success.)
I accept it’s not necessarily their fault though, we can all turn zombielike if we’re bored out of our skulls.

In short I wasn’t intentionally picking on people facing redundancy. I wasn’t even thinking about that.

[Jo]

I’m in work, on a Sunday and the canteen isn’t even open so no breakfast :o( Fucksticks :o(

[si]

I had a chat to an ex-girlfriend about an amusing/embarrassing sexual anecdote which I still remember the date of, and she doesn’t, thus making me realise how incredibly sad I am.

[Ben Paddon]

I cycled into work this morning whilst listening to the 2008 Child’s Play CD, which opens with a very brilliant cover of the theme to Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.
