I sat alone in the canteen today. I stared out of the window at the falling snow wondering what it would be like if I poured gravy into a bag of Flame Grilled Steak McCoy's.
Eventually, I returned to my desk.
A gravy stain down my shirt.

I don' care if it makes me a bad person: When I see someone riding a bike with no hands, I want them to fall off.

I've been on a training course today that was compressed from two days into one day. Strangley it simultaneously felt like you could see where they were rushing to fit it in and cut stuff short but also they whole thing could just have easily been done in an hour or two.

Also they also claim their overnight/carry-on bags take ALL the stress out of travelling. Not sure a bag would've stopped the suspicious drugs testing and very thorough search I got in Kingston airport when trying to travel out of Jamaica.
I'm tired... I could stop there but... of companies trying to push the 'ultimate' travel backpack on me then showimg me a video of someone storing their phone in it (?) and packing a laptop, one jumper, one tshirt and just one spare shoe.

I keep looking at this above the bar and thinking there's probably something funny to say about it. But honestly I just can't think what it is. Im not sure why; has the ability gone or just the will. Perhaps something has died in me... possibly in all of us.

Someone's built a bloody massive church in front of what would've been a lovely view from the new office.

Also when did people just start eating boiled eggs with their bare hands in public.
What happened to shame?
Call me old fashioned but an egg is something that should be eaten in the privacy of your own home.

Bus replacment between Darlington and Doncaster and now the tubes are off where I need to get so will to have to try and walk from closest one still on. Left the house at 2pm after a wedding yesterday. I'm very tired, and could do without walking around London in the dark with my sense of direction.

I suspect this is going to be the first year we start to see people in the UK attempt to refer to autumn as 'Stick Season' and claim they always have. It's really going to test my ethical beliefs on crime and punishment.

I have to go to London for a few days next week. Stranger Things The First Shadow has been suggested for something to do? Anyone been? Is it worth it after a busy day or just head for food instead. I watched the first couple of seasons but otherwise hadn't heard of this.

A challenging wank but at least I didn't need to have my ID verified.

My local Indian Restaurant The New Bengal was burnt down a few years back. When it reopened they renamed it: The New New Bengal.
Just read a story that it's been taken over and the new owner has some 'new' plans for it... They've got to haven't they?!

You call it what you want Greggs but this is clearly a job posting for a sausage roll taster. Expect my CV today.

I have to walk past 4 pubs and a chip shop on my way to the gym. But here I am. Really impressed with myself as I didn't think I could lift anything while this drunk. The battered sausage must've soaked it up.

I often wonder if I still haven't heard my favourite song but I wonder how many songs I love I've already heard for the last time?

Brains are strange things. I've been having spells of death anxiety recently. So often find myself thinking about the impacts of it etc. but then randomly my brain will just slip out of it and think "Hey, we haven't used a cash machine in I dont know how many years!"

I read a book recently about aging. There was a quote that people get old when they stop thinking about the future, their dreams and aspirations.
I think there's another indicator of the tipping point though. It's when hearing the music of your adolescence makes you feel sad rather than happy.

I wasn't sure but recently thought the blonde, tattooed woman in greggs might be flirting. This morning when I walked in she said I saw you coming so I've put your coffee on.
Now, I'm not very good at picking up or reading signals but... this was the bacon sandwich she made me:

On reflectiion it might've actually been too hot for camping up a hill. My emergency jelly babies have melting in my bag into a John Carpenter-esque mess.
