Kouros, you know that website we launched a few months ago?
The one that doesn't actually do anything?
Yes. Well, we think it should actually do something now to build our income with a value-added service.
Oh, good.
And we'd quite like you to look after it.
But... I'm not a web designer...
Yes, well we think it would be a good project management exercise.
OK, that's fine. Does the site have any sort of content management system?
Not really.
Do we have anyone in house who can rewrite the site to encorporate the changes?
No.
Do I have a budget to hire anyone?
No. Can I have your project proposal tomorrow please?

Toad in the Hole.
"Good afternoon, XYZ Publ..."
"Yes. I'd like to buy some toads in holes."
"I'm sorry, but we are a publishing company, and do not produce food items."
"Then why was I given your number?"
"I'm afraid I cannot answer that, as I do not know. Who passed the number to you, and I'll be sure to let them know?"
"Where can I buy a toad in a hole?"
"I don't know, sorry."
"Well aren't you going to find out for me?"
"No. Good bye now."
*click*
It's been a long day.

Today, I'm Most Angry About:
(Sorry DoGGa, had to pinch your thing)
Today, I'm Most Angry About:
People who stand outside health centre entrances smoking. I go there for a swim, thank you very much, not to come out feeling all good about myself only to breathe in your acrid fumes.
Just because you are so fat, lazy, and wish to die in such an insignificant amount of time that while you drop your sweet little'un off for her dance class it doesn't occur to you to do some exercise yourself it doesn't mean that I, equally, want to share in the sweet, sweet smell of your own demise.*
Failing that, I'll wait outside when you come to pick up your cherub, and spit red wine on you. See how you like it.
Grrr-O-Meter Rating: 6/10 On the whole, I'm not an angry person (though my blog may suggest otherwise). I'm quite surprised how much this made me fume.
* Yes, I appreciate the irony. I'm trying to give up the booze, honest.
