i've got a headache. i've tried drinking a heap o' water* in case it is a dehydration thing and eaten some chocolate to see if it is a lack of chocolate thing but i've still got my headache. a friend has suggested stopping looking at a computer screen (unlikely to happen since i'm at work), going for a gentle walk (ditto) or finding a nice young man to give me a gentle head massage (ummm, where's Ulf when I need him?).

random overheard comment on the bus: "i'm always seem to get thirsty after chinese food. they must put something in it. perhaps it's that gluten stuff."

* not actually sure it is possible for water to form a heap but if it is, then it would definitely be a "heap o' water" rather "heap OF water".

Am so tired for no real reason whatsoever.

Was half way to work this morning before I realised I had my jumper on inside out.

The word "doh" sprang instantly to mind.

Have just realised that, for no real reason whatsoever, I've used the phrase "for no real reason whatsoever" in the last two diary entries. I suspect this is more to do with me knowing (subconsciously or consciously) but not wanting to reveal the reasons behind the situations rather than my life having no meaning and/or reason. Or maybe life is just a string of coincidences after all.

Something else: my old boss has just been to "check in" (ie, to make sure i'm doing some work for him) and joked (i hope) about setting me up with the only male in the department under about 35. *shudders*. I need to find a boyfriend fast to avoid this sort of thing. Or I need to get much better at lying so I can pretend I've got one. I think I'll call this made up boyfriend Ulf. Perhaps he could be an industrial sealant specialist from Scandanavia. Yes, that sounds plausible.

Today feels like a day with no people, for no real reason whatsoever.

I share my office with someone, there are always people milling about the building and I've had a few emails from friends so I don't know why I feel like I do.

Think I'll go out for my lunch and surround myself with a whole heap of people - so I'll get that annoyed with them that I'll be grateful for the "no people"ness.

In my Dilbert desk diary, on the page for March 18th-20th, Dilbert and Wally appear to be wearing flares. That's just not right.

But I've *JUST* noticed that there is a little flip book cartoon in the corner of the diary. I've been using it for 2 and a half months before realising that.

I guess that kinda redeems Dilbert, if at the same time completely trashing any notion that I'm an observant person.

I'm wearing a leg-exposing skirt for work today. I feel very girlie. Will have to practise giggling.

My sandwich just hurt my teeth when I bit it. Can't work out whether this is the fault of my sandwich or my teeth.

I'm drinking Dr Pepper, what's the worst that could happen?

Feeling quite random but happy.

We've got a new senior computing guy in the department and I met him for the first time yesterday. He is apparently 27 but looks about 12 which made little 22-year-old, haggered old me feel incredibly ancient.

I know I'm still young but I feel a bit aimless, like everyone else is doing this twenty-something thing far better than I am.

I started looking for jobs yesterday. I never really stop looking but I started looking with force again yesterday and I was hit by the realisation, yet again, that the only thing I'm trained/have experience of doing is that which I'm doing already - and which I don't particularly like. Gah. Have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be still in and complaining about this, supposedly temporary, job when I'm 35. *sigh*.

Gee, over a month since my last diary entry...

Lots of stuff has happened. Some good. Some bad. Some still to happen/in the process of happening so I suppose I shouldn't lump it in here. Let's just say strange things are afoot at the Circle (spor)K.

Time is seems to be d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g something rotten but I can't believe it is March already. I had so many plans for this year and it is nearly a quarter through and I haven't done any of them. Well, some of them I guess... *grins cheekily*. Will have to start working harder on the other stuff too. They'll be a new and improved Spork before the year is out I'm sure. I think. Perhaps.

In a bid to get my dumb poem (previous entry) translated into txt, I stumbled across a cool little site:

http://www.whoohoo.co.uk

to translate everything into different British dialects.

You know I'm just off to translate everything I've ever written into "jolly well spoken english", don't ya?
