I have to stay here all day in case a cleaner wants to throw half the kitchen
out behind my back. At dusk I was seen scrambling about in a dumpster trying
to retrieve my spatula and two saucepans. The government seems to think I
don't need money what with the free accommodation I get for minding this
mausoleum. The dog keeps sneaking off to play across the road because I'm a
boring sod, I've lost the will to FILK, Jasper Fforde won't write me another
book this week, and my best mate's mum won't let him borrow the car to come
visit. I can't sleep and there aren't enough firefly episodes in the world to
last until the movie comes out. And the catalogue site has been down for so
long my browser's forgotten it.

I reserve the right to sulk about that too.

This must be some new definition of "holiday" we haven't been told about.

There is a special hell reserved for those people. And people who design UI's.

I shall shuffle indignantly in my chair a bit. And drink coffee.
