Set Up Like A Deck Of Cards

Everybody talk about pop musik

Every morning on the way to work, I walk past a supermarket that has got music playing pretty loudly outside. It’s usually a decent pop song that’s playing when I walk past and I always end up humming/singing the song for the rest of the morning. Last week, I kept a note of the songs:

Monday: The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon

Tuesday: Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth

Wednesday: Kavana - I Can Make You Feel Good

Thursday: The Monkees - Daydream Believer

Friday: Bananarama - I Want You Back

I’m thinking of keeping a log of the songs that are playing as I walk past every day and maybe making a playlist of them all. Any songs that I don’t recognise, I’ll have to remember a line from the song and Google it when I get to work (I had to do this with the Kavana song last week).

The Perfect Crime

I had to get vetted by the police as part of my job and I got the all-clear yesterday.

Ha ha! They never figured it out!

Life’s a bitch

I always try to take a late lunch break because:

a) I love short afternoons/hate long afternoons;

b) I’m most productive between around 11am-2pm, and I don’t want to get in the way of that.

But that means that, by the time I get to the sandwich shop, I have to choose from what’s left, instead of what I want.

Oh God, why do you hate me so?

The game is on.

I made it to my desk for 8.35 today and shocked a few people in the office. Now I have a bet with a girl at work that if I can be at my desk by 8.30 for the rest of the week, she’ll buy me a coffee every morning next week. If I fail, I buy the coffees.

-I don’t have to be logged into the network, just sitting at my desk.

-The time we’re using is the time on our desk phones. If they’re showing 8.30, I failed.

I can do this.

The coffee shop is going to be dead!

It’s 7.45 am. Normally, I’m just getting up, but this morning, I’m up, showered, dressed and just about to leave for work.

Last night, I told myself that this morning I was going to get up as soon as my alarm went off, like they do in the movies, instead of hitting the snooze button 4 or 5 times. And I did it! It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t fun but I’m 45 minutes ahead of where I usually am and it feels pretty good.

The most exciting thing about this so far is that I know the coffee shop near work is going to be empty.
