The Jello pit has been cleaned out from the big singing dog fight at Christmas. The festive red and green Jello cubes have been replaced by ones of pomagranite and puce, the colors of Bullwinkle's old alma mater, Wotsomatta U. There are a few pennants around and it must be them playing in the annual Tidy Bowl game on the TV by the bar. 'Tis the season. But it's still a bit early in the day for me to start waiving pennance and breaking resolutions just yet I haven't even finished making them. Where's the serving wench with the mug of caffiene? Oh, here she is! Thank you! Here's to Theresa! Also here's a health to your resolutions! (a great "Huzzah!" from the crowd) Likewise the Eliza Swann! ("Swanee, how we love ya, how we love ya......")

Don't want to give any Fargo fans the wrong idea about her. Hot cuppa tea this morning. And do I smell fresh muffins baking? That ought to rouse a couple of the folks sleeping in the booths (when did we get booths in here, anyway? I don't remember them last time I was in. Rap! Amos! Time to get up and head to work! MOM wondered where you got to. Squid, you can stay right where you are, don't move till I'm gone. I've had enough with the sucker punches to last through the next three holidays. |

Don't worry, Bert's card is still good and the upholstery has been Scotchgarded (is that guarding against scotch the drink or the effect of traditionally worn kilt on plush fabric? I've always wondered.... ) so we won't have any repeat of last Summer's incident. Line me up a row of something stong and hairy - been on a course to tell me how to do my job and how I've been doing it wrong for the last 10 years and how I'm not allowed to be left handed anymore... sod that for a game of soldiers! It was a sort of 'Slow and Lingering Death by PowerPoint'.... and there's more to come tomorrow! Deep joy. I may make up a 'Buzzword Bingo' card and take it in with me... that should keep me awake.

Do they think we're blind? \Not nearly as bad as the Human Resources lecture on harrassment in the office. The film dates back to 1982. Hilarious. But you're not allowed to laugh. Maybe some strong coffee with a splash of Bushmill's. |
