I’ve been offered a job – kinda. I have more questions than answers at the moment though.

went to the bar last night – not many people out that I knew, although the place was busy with couples going into the restaurant for meals. Had a chat with Paul S and Claudie, but that was about it.
Have been mulling over Saturday’s events and am increasingly convinced I swore at the wrong person.
Probably out again tonight – I just need the company.

forgot to put in yesterday’s TPL update (strangely, my mind was elsewhere): 18 points (lousy) taking my total to 664.

well, the good news is that I’ve not lost that other important friend – she’s fairly pissed off with me, but she’s not going to desert me forever, which is a relief. I think she knows that I’m sorry – guh, I’m useless.
on a plus point, a kind soul has sent me virtual bouquet for Valentine’s Day, so that’s cheered me a bit.
and the sun is shining.
and I’ve had a bar of chocolate.
ok – life could be better, but equally it could be a hell of a lot worse too.
now – let’s get on with the rest of the day…

just over a month ago, the “about the cast” section on the “about Graybo” page had extended details on the four most important people in my life. I’ve already lost the two most important. Today I think I’ve lost another, and this time it’s my own fault.
Last night I went to the bar to be quizzed by a friend about Saturday night’s events – he meant well, but I really didn’t want to talk about it. I then went home to bed and had a restless night punctuated by a long and vivid dream involving a certain someone. This morning, my post consisted of one lousy piece of crap from the district council. Then I get to work to find that I’ve totally offended one of my most important friends and the last word of communication from that person was “Bye”.
How the hell can things possibly get worse? No, don’t answer that. I have a pretty shrewd idea.

ok, the whole Atomz search thing is getting out of hand.
now, whatever is wrong with e-mail as a means of communication?
but, in answer to some of the questions posed:
– I use Blogger rather than Greymatter because I was a cheapskate and didn’t bother with cgi when buying hosting from Easyspace, but I’m seriously considering upgrading and changing.
– thinning hair would possibly be alleviated by wearing a twat….I’ll consider it further.
– I am *trying* to deal with it, but it isn’t easy, ok?
– if they were amusing, I may consider publishing them every week. but they would have to improve considerably.
– irony, infamy, paranoia – probably a combination of all three.
– I don’t really care if you identify yourself or not, but I think it is probably pretty pathetic if you don’t. I have a shrewd suspicion anyway.

right, like I said. joke over, back to the e-mail please.

had a good look at the ISS – it wasn’t as bright as I expected, but certainly very obvious – and, blimey, it doesn’t half shift! one horizon to the other in a bit more than three minutes.
actually, looking at the tiny point of light, rushing along, and thinking about the fact that there are *people* up there, framed against the inky blue of the sky, tends to make you think. not sure what it makes you think of, but it does make you think.
more worrying, as I was standing on the city wall looking at the ISS, I spotted a white helicopter flying by. now *that* did make me think!

today is a beautiful sunny day with perfect blue skies – ideal conditions for watching the International Space Station go overhead, complete with space shuttle Atlantis docked on. For those in the south of England, it should be visible for about three minutes, moving from west to east, sometime around 6.11pm tonight.

From my Atomz search request logs…highly amusing, I’m sure. Will the person or persons responsible for this, please stand up.

BlogFinder is potentially useful – although when I typed in “Grayblog” and “Graybo”, both searches showed up a bunch of other sites but not this one.
