i woke up. had sex with myself. my parents came back from church and made me feel like i'm going to hell. then i had breakfast of blueberry pancakes. work was not on my mind until this thread. i might drop by and pee on the desks of people i hate - no one will know!

Weatherwise, we are having a dull, rainy, cold and miserable Christmas day ! But I'm all warm inside the house, drinking hot coffee and browsing forums.
No jobs for me today.

Had to pop in to change the server tape. Got paid for the hour though for doing a 30 second job, so I'm not complaining.
