Well, my lovely nana heard of my computer plight, and being what she is (kind and wealthy) she offered to buy me the bits to make a new PC. So off we went shopping, bought all the internal bits (I bought the case, keyboard, mouse and speakers) such as the processor (AMD Athlon X2 dual processor BITCHMEISTER 12 BILLION.) et cetera, et cetera.
So now it's all in bits (albeit, BITCHMEISTER bits) and dad has to build it. So that was good.
Work today balanced all that out.
"Reasons why I should have stayed in bed today (episode one.)"
1. My boss has chucked all my leaflets for Financial Services in the bin.
2. My plastic leaflet holders have gone AWOL.
3. When making a tannoy announcement today, instead of rounding it off with my usual 'Thank you.', I said, and don't ask me why I did, 'BYE BYE!' With the chirpy voice and everything. Not just 'Bye.' No, that wouldn't have been humiliating enough. No, I had to say 'BYE BYE!' like a two year old. A prize for anyone who can explain to me why this occured, without using words or phrases including anything along the lines of 'a little bit special'.
5. I just forgot to write the number four. And now I realise there's actually a numbered bullet-point option on this damned thing. Oh well, I may as well carry on.
6. It was Burns' Day today, and I was dressed like an extra from 'High Road'. Also had to walk around the store in a 'procession' with about five other people, a haggis and a piper. I'm not even that Scottish.
7. 'Haggis Surprise', 'Classic Haggis, Neeps and Tatties', Haggis Pizza, Vegetarian Haggis (which had turnip in it, and was served with turnip.) and 'Chicken Balmoral' (chicken stuffed with.... *drumroll* Haggis!) were on the menu in the canteen today.

8. I walked down the stairs after having swiped out, actually thought to myself 'I bet I miss the last step, I'm not paying attention to the situation in hand.', then promptly missed the goddamned step and nearly headbutted the wall.
England, will you please take me in?

Oh dear! 'Bye-bye'? I suppose it's not *that* bad, I'm not gonna lie to you, it's not great, but it's not *that* bad!
As for haggis, I've never understood it . . is that coz I'm English?
Technically (and literally!) it's just a bag of sheep. Bits of sheep they couldn't call 'lamb' or even 'mutton'.
Just... a bag of sheep. Like in the rhyme, but with more gore.
Haggis is a blight on the Scots' image. I had another ASDA store from Manchester phone me the other day looking for in-depth cooking instructions for a haggis.
Luckily I had the recipe and serving suggestion in my sporran.
