We’ve been getting a lot of junk faxes at work lately. They usually offer us things we don’t want, and even if we did want them, we’d have to dial a premium rate number to get them.
Today we received two faxes offering to get us off the junk fax distribution lists. Sounds good so far. But how do we achieve this? Ah yes, by dialling a premium rate number.
Hmm.

wise words

unusually, I can actually empathise with Tom at the moment, although it sounds like he has made a bit more progress than me. To Tom, my advice would be this – find a particularly trustworthy and patient friend and use them to offload all your unrequited phone calls and emails. That theory is working for me right now – hopefully, that friend will be able to give you good advice like “chill out, be cool, take it easy” and so on. This course of action will save you from appearing to be excessively “keen”.

Catherine blogged the virtual host thing too – on Feb 26th. I feel so outmoded.

mood update: it’s just radically improved.

TPL update: 3 points, total now 736 (not many matches at the weekend – only three of my players involved).

busy day today, lots to do. But feel free to send me happy chirpy e-mail. I’m not sure what sort of mood I’m in this morning – wavering between a happy one and a less-than-happy one. So cheer me up, ok?

happy birthday to Angie!
I’ve not read Momblog UK before today – it’s good! go read it! (although a bit loved-up for us sad single people!)

apologies to Marcia. apparently she blogged the virtual host thing last week. guh. and to think I thought I was first. note also that I have added her site to the favoured blogs list.

a few people have commented (thanks Luan) that I don’t write so much about me here anymore. Well, it’s true, and there are several reasons for it:
– I’ve not had too much to say
– I figured people might be getting bored of reading about me all the time
– sometimes it is best to keep quiet.
But, just to appease those people, here is a snapshot of my state of mind:
– yes, I’m still furious at what happened. It hurt. Bad. But I’m content to ignore and avoid the people involved and let them get on with it. I’ve got my own life to lead, and I’ve spent too long in the past chewing over “stuff” when things have gone wrong. I’m trying to move on and move forward, and lately I’ve been feeling pretty good about it. There have been a few positive things happening, and hopefully one day something good will occur (don’t worry, when it does I’ll be so full of myself that it will all be related here!). That does not mean that I am going to forgive the people that were involved in the bad stuff – in fact, I think I can safely say that nothing is less likely to occur. Other than me winning to lottery perhaps.
So: it’s forward looking, positive, happy, cheerful things going on around here and in my head. Further bulletins as events warrant.
