You know blogging is great? You get to soapbox without ever having to look your audience in the eye. .. Which is why I’d like to share the details of my violent bowel movements with you all… well, not really, but I have been suffering this morning. I was forced to make one of those “I’m only walking very, very briskly” dashes to the pisser earlier. All I could think about was “I hope no-one is in there..I’ll have to shout down the corridor to forewarn them”. I was reminded of those scenes in films where the attractive love interest pleads “Go! Go Now! You aren’t safe if you stay with me!” as the clouds clear away from the full moon, or the schizoid personality of “Denzil the powertool murderer” manifests… Hrm.

Pointless Stat: Figures released by the DTI reveal that people in the UK sent 16 billion text messages last year, that’s an average of 45 million per day. Nasty.

I have been reviewing 30 SysAdmin CVs. I’ve rather enjoyed myself. In addition to giving them a rating out of ten I have added my own freeform comments to sum up the rejections. Makes the hours pass more quickly. Some of the less successful included one man whose sole list of employment was “Night Fill” (in UK read “Shelf Stacker”) for 7 different stores, a personal trainer / masseur who had done a 6 week course in Word or similar and fancied his chances, and a rather sad longterm unemployed gentleman who liked fishing (I felt a bit sorry for him, he reminded me of my Dad so I upped his score out of ten).

Um, Is this a recruitment ad for a Big Brother technician or is someone missing some replicants?
