06/06/06


Happy 06/06/06 Day! I am expecting sinister things on this fine Tuesday - perhaps a few bloody paper cuts and suspiciously falling down the stairs in my flip-flops - and I shall definately be staying away from strange children with bowl haircuts.

Last night we watched Carrie and I forgot just how knicker-wettingly spooky it is. But ooh to have those skills! I really do love that movie.

Talking of movies I have seven glorious words for you: The. Fast. And. The. Furious. Tokyo and Drift. Hurrah! Another TFATF movie but this time set in the streets of downtown Tokyo - mindless movies don't get much better than this! (Tagline: 'Speed Needs No Translation')

Now just to convince the Rockmeister to take me to see it - The Da Vinci Code, Sminci Code - I want fast cars and even faster dialogue... Vroom!

On a more serious note, everything this morning has been very cloak-and-dagger with management sweeping in and out of meetings and whispering in corridors. Us minions are always the last to know anything but word on the street is that at some point in the near future our jobs may be outsourced, possibly to India.

Which means if Rocker and I ever escape the evil clutches of Great Britain, I can get my old job back somewhere like Calcutta - except I'm not a graduate so they probably wouldn't even employ me - but you have to laugh.

So many companies are taking this route and taking our jobs away - then realising it doesn't work and bringing them back - nothing's secure!

I'd better start thinking seriously about how I can work this to my advantage if it actually happens - we might have to get some lodgers in afterall and maybe I can get a job I actually want and enjoy for a change.

Oh the wicked web fate weaves for us...

Thoise overseas call centers are fun. Given their lack of English speaking skills I revel in the ability to give them answers that are not on their "script" binder. Calling about your computer, when asked what is wrong tell them that your hamster unit won't run any more. Argue with them when they tell you that there is no such thing.
