Another day sitting at a desk with my headset on, vaguely aware that I’m speaking to members of the public about late payment charges. Today is ‘dress down Friday’ so at least there are ladies in flattering clothes to secretly … Continue reading
Didn’t get much sleep last night as everyone came back one at a time to put on various music and each time I had to go downstairs and ask nicely. Work was overtime so nobody was there to chat to … Continue reading
Began the day by bolting awake two minutes before my alarm was due to go off – a sure sign that routine is taking over my life if I ever saw one. Then had breakfast, went to work, blah blah, … Continue reading

I caught some fraudster guy the other day. He didn’t know how to pronounce his own name. Which was “Mr Jones.” To celebrate I’ve got a big bottle of port and plan to get drunk in a sophisticated manner tonight. … Continue reading
Had a nice long weekend away up in the old country (Worcestershire) as it was my Mum’s 50th birthday and she was having a bit of a party. Got the megabus up on Saturday. It was a pound to London … Continue reading
