Insert Humour Here

Fixed…

I don’t know why it went all wrong yesterday (well, I do, I’d used html brackets with no code), but it looked fine when I checked it myself.

Ah well, I’ll get used to the little differences of LJ I suspect.

Still can’t figure out why I got to be a phoenix.

How did I get to be Phoenix? ah well, it’s about as daft as Simon getting Scorpion.

Work a bit shit today, the boss asked when the mailing of the newsletter will be done, she wants it finished Monday. Um, that would be the newsletter I gave her to work on while I was on holiday? That she never gave back to me?

Gah! If she talked to me rather than assuming and then shouting, we might actually be a good team.

Never mind. Exeter tomorrow for silly games at Steve’s shop, then Barnstable sunday for even more silly games, Sy#s down from London for that though, that’ll be weird…
