School children and lateness

Monday, September 4th, 2006

After being habitually late for work ever since I started at the detestable “Utilities Company based in Scotland” I decided to make a special effort to get the ol’ carcass out of bed and make it to work on time.

This act of enthusiasm was successful for a good deal of the summer. But for the last few weeks it’s all went wrong.

And that’s because the schools are back.

Now these unwashed little freaks are getting on the bus WITH NO CORRECT CHANGE, endlessly faffing around with their money and carrying on while getting on the bus while they should be IN AN ORDERLY QUEUE WHILE THEY GO TO THEIR SEATS WITH THE MIMINUM OF FUSS.

Daily I’m torn between paying for their journey myself if it means getting to work faster or just booting the little feckers off the bus.

Or I could just get the earlier bus, but where’s the fun in that? A bit of irrational anger sets me up nicely for a day of at work.

Prize Time!

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Yes, it’s time for an extra special prize to be awarded. Early on Saturday morning Neuro posted the 1000th comment on JediMoose! So I’m going to buy him something special, like a Mars Bar, or a pint of Guinness ;) Congratulations Neuro.

On a related note, the next post on this page will also be the 500th post, meaning we’re at approximately 2 comments per post, which is not bad IMHO.

Lastly, you may notice that the slidey menus from the RHS aren’t sliding any more. This is due to a conflict with the JavaScript libraries that are also used in the new slidey ’show comments’ bit which I’ve added. Hopefully this will be resolved soon, but at least now you can view the comments on the main page.
