Well, I think i've finally become a character in a B&S song, a disaffected temp in a badly fitting shirt carrying her poetry book everywhere and silently plotting films in her head... There's a new temp at work, John, who seems a wee bit old for a temp, maybe late 20s, but I'm young, so what do I know? Anyhow, yesterday he was chatting witht he girl who was showing him the ropes about diet and fitness then suddenly turned round to me and said 'Are YOU on a diet as well then?' Harrumph! It wasn't so much the implication that I am one of The Fat, more the implication that all women, especially those with a bosom and a bum, must be n a diet. Honestly. And I was being so polite to him too, despite his combination of white and purple checked shirt and brown paisley tie... ...he asked me if I liked star trek and superman today, so I think he's socially inept rather than offensive. Hell, I'm just touchy at the moment, I spent the bulk of my day reading the NatWest Caravanning Club Newsletter on the staff intranet. I wish my life was as fun as Astrid's. :-) -gillian ps-big hello to wee chris ===== _________________________ 'i have a tendency to say hey do you remember that moment we shared in 1988,that was great, hey! 1988 was great'-milky wimpshake, yeah, it's true ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
