What brief glimpses of happiness did you have today?

[The Boston Crab]

Woke up, barbecued some bacon and made breakfast, went in the pool, had a coffee, sunbathed while listening to the new Panda Bear EP, watched England get cunted by the first ever black WC winning captain and his township mate, Caesar salad brunch and get on the Super Bock.

That sounds fucking mega

[Buelligan]

Whilst on first shift, I thought about an absolute arse making a public dick of himself and it made me laugh.  Then the Boks won and I knew there'd be no homecoming bus parade for Johnson and my cup literally exploded with delight (plus it means Wales came second, which is no disgrace).  I am tooting my vuvuzela whilst typing this.

[pancreas]

Traitor.

(plus it means Wales came second, which is no disgrace).

Does it work differently in rugby or something?

[Buelligan]

No, but let's be fair, SA only just managed to beat Wales (and Wales were carrying significant injuries).  England were handed their arses.  I think it's fair to say Wales came second.

[bgmnts]

I'm in agreement with this loose interpretation.

[imitationleather]

As the most recent team to lose I think it makes England the worst at rugby on the planet?

[Buelligan]

Tidy.

[pancreas]

Speaking as someone who is dreadfully ignorant of the sports, Buelligan, even I can see that you have completely failed to understand the most basic aspects of what is going on.

[Buelligan]

Sorry, pancs, can't hear you, too busy singing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

[NJ Uncut]

Had my flu jab so feel rotten..

But Liverpool winning cheered me up!

Sorry, pancs, can't hear you, too busy singing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

Is this an anagram? No, hold on, I can figure it out.

"Ada, u hand-hewn fly"?

But Liverpool winning cheered me up!

But at the expense of Aston Villa, you monster.

[NJ Uncut]

The cunt manager here (BIG OIL where if you are caught with a fag you're escorted off site as it's a naked flame) was on about fireworks tonight, got some big rockets n that.

Me, tongue in cheek: Are they doing a firework show on site tonight?

CM: No mate. No. *shakes head seriously*

His seriousness at my joke question amused me to the point of the chuckles. That's happiness!

[bgmnts]

Yeah but now he probably thinks you're a serious health and safety liability.

Was it worth it?

Yes. Yes it was.

Wouldn't it be safer to just stub it out?

[Shaky]

Got a lovely wave and a smile from a lovely girl.

#CANCELLED (in america)

Put some clean pants on it, at the very least.

Was walking back to my car from the dentist this morning and a nice girl gave me a smile too. Proper beaming. I can only recommend that all CABbers get themselves out there today and enjoy these free smiles that top quality women are giving out to the sort of social misfits that this site attracts.

Created a dance routine to the song Car Wash whilst cooking.

Got asked to apply for that internal promotion I've been working on for about 6 years. Have to do an interview and all that.

Bricking it now. If I get it, I live the Big Boss life. If I don't, I'm stuck in the middle management deso zone.

Interview went well. Could be looking alright here, folks. Might be alright.

A brief glimpse of ACE

[buttgammon]

The bit in that Sky News 'interview' where the camera zooms in on the empty chair.

[PlanktonSideburns]

Got in an old timey lift with a cage door

Caught up with an old friend

Put an invoice in for a couple of months worth of work

Got a beef chilly steak stew in the slow cooker

Got the rest of the week off (reading week)

[a duncandisorderly]

One, but it was more a picture of a cat i met in which my shoes were visible.

See, that's how you do it!

Today's glimpse of happiness was a colleague gluing a pen to my desk and asking to borrow a pen.

1 2 3 4 I declared a PRANK WAR

He begged out of the war a scarce ten minutes later but as I informed him, prank war has no pity, spares no man and I above all just wish it could be some other way., but as a mere mortal I cannot second-say the way things are, for prank war never changes, and may very well be eternal to the human condition

Anywho, two other colleagues got the hump with his japery and yada yada yada he has to fight it on three fronts now. I brook no mercy.

Tomorrow is going to be a glorious day!

can we have a list of the pranks so far, to cheer us up & give us ideas in our own cubicle farms?

I'm waiting for a vintage tape-recorder I found on ebay... seller wouldn't send it out of the US but that's ok because my mate mikey lives in NJ so they can post it to him & he can flick it on to me.
the thing set off from a mere ten miles down the road, mikey saying "that's where my folks live.... if I'd known...." etcetera, but too late, USPS have got it. that was two weeks ago.
tracking data (for which thank fuckery) says it's at or just leaving the big USPS depot nearest mikey, which is in philly (a town I know well.)

anyway, the USPS website refers to one's item these days as "mailpiece", all one word like that. the FAQs include "where is my mailpiece?".
