I've got a job. For a while (manic laughter). The fools.

Apparently it's all women in the office. That's good, it means I'll get the toilet all to myself. I've experienced this fortunate position before and it's a mjor bonus.

As for my CD's, looks like L through Z are going to be on the floor for a while - I start tomorrow.

Perhaps you can start a "How long will Darrin last" sweepstake or something.

No. More. Bank. Jobs. Ever. I will never break that vow!

Adding even more value to the bathroom monopoly. I'll be sure to throw on "Smithers Jones" in your honor when I get home, followed up, maybe, by Spizz Energi's "When I Get Home From Work".

Congrats. Over here in the states, it's nearly impossible to be fired from a government job. Is that the case in the UK?

Interviewer: Darrin, what attracts you to the leisure industry?

Darrin: In a word: pleasure. It's like, my pleasure in other people's leisure.

As always I prove the exception to the rule.

I worked in the civil service from 2001-2003 and then was politely asked to leave.

I work with all women right now (virtually). While the bathroom aspect is a definite perk, I think an office of all women can be annoying as well. When women are pissed they don't just have it out with each other. There has been a lot of ill will and shit talking (but, of course, I participate in that too) and back stabbing at my office in recent months, and I think a lot of that has to do with it being so many women. Though, I think being a guy I'm spared a good deal of the more inter-female dynamic bullshit.

Anyway, congrats--now you can buy more stuff!

Hey, I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed getting up at 6.45am in fucking November.

Whatever happens Darrin I'm still expecting to receive your year-end best of 2004 cd mix. So don't think that something so trivial as employment might interfere with this...

Well that was good.

I just got paid $100 to type one letter about a broken sewage pipe and half an other letter about a broken sewage pipe. I might finish tomorrow iif I can find the time between scarfing bacon rolls from the canteen. It's so laid back entire departments don't even bother coming in. Some floors are a sort of modern day Marie Celeste.

I might actually want to stay here. In fact, since there is no one around to fire me I'll probably be here for ever.
