She may be quite nice but surely being her bicycle seat is a bit over the top and 'yucky'. It is like when Prince Charles said he wanted to be Camilla's tampon if he was reincarnated

So here's Charles in fancy dress

Well, to be fair, Kournikova is really good at doubles, and she's won quite a few tournaments in doubles, I think alot of people overlook that.

Either that, or come up with interesting ways to defraud the system. Fantasize about putting them into effect.

He is a data-entry monkey-boy, don't expect him to figure out that he can carry more than 1 CD with him to work.

As far as data-entry, been there and done that, hopefully never again - though it does leave you plenty of energy to enjoy your evenings with. You can do that job with 4 hours sleep in you and it is no hardship

Well it's not that, it's just that I'm notoriously obsessive about which music I play... I have ~130 CD's plus about 5000 mp3's, it takes me like 10 minutes to decide which CD to bring to work... I'll look like a ***** if I have to start doing risk analyses of Velvet Revolver vs. Queen just before lunch.

Make a bet with a co-worker as to which one you'll have bent over the photocopier first.

One who can't say no.


If you're bored at work, try memorizing the logarithmic tables, or epic poems in foreign languages.

Then repeat them to yourself at work.


Soon you may find work less boring....

I hate taking forever deciding what I want to listen to at work. Lately I've just been going in alphabetical order . Kind of boring as it doesn't account for the mood I'm in (and I actually force myself to listen to the CD's I have I felt were a mistake to buy).

Be careful though- when I did this job in January, we were so good that they ran out of work and let us go after 11 days.

But yeah, I know what you mean whaleboy, it's a stupidly boring job, and it's not like you can do anything like surfing the net or reading a book anyway, as supervisors are usually around to make sure they're getting their money's worth out of you. I spent my entire first week's wages on a great mp3 player which kept me sane in the last six days of the job

Failing that, try pyromania.
