a guy at work is vegetarian and thought I should not be allowed to order a vegetarian pizza with salami
i offered him some clinkers but they contain gellatine and he doesn't eat gelatine
what is gelatine?
Gelatine is a glutinous substance obtained from the ligaments, bones, and skin of animals, and so it is not vegetarian
mmm tasty

watched the boys play soccer tonight
they won 9:2
the ref came and had a chat to me
ref: you're with the red and blue team aren't ya?
t: yeh
ref: yeh they're a very good team
ref: rayan's a good bloke, he looks very smart, is he a doctor?
t: no a lawyer, like jon

t: well actually....
ref: yeh they're a good team
ref: you're with the blond one, what's his name?
t: tim, but they call him mitch
ref: yeh he's a good bloke he never gets angry or anything he has a cool head

t: cannisen?

I think midlife crisis has begun again

sys admin is a cow

Today there is a problem with one of the supervisor's printer. She tells him that it isn't a printer problem but a computer problem caused by me moving files from the Y: drive. Rhhight! The Supervisor rings me and asks me to look at it. I get there and the cartridge indicator light is on. I change the cartridge. Printer works. He said he thought it was cartridge too, I tell him that anyone with half a brain would know that the cartridge had run out, let alone a sys admin. I think sys admin finds out that i reckon she has less than half a brain and is probably very embarrassed she didnt realise it was a cartridge. Sys admin calls Supervisor's boss to tell him i changed the cartridge and that after what happened on friday i shouldn't be touching anything. I tell Supervisor's boss that instead of checking the cartridge she declared the computer stuffed. He laughs (at her), her boss laughs, my boss laughs, everyone laughs. I win....for now.
