Somebody has just asked me "What does next week look like?"
It took all my restraint not to say 'well, it kind of starts over on the top left with a Monday, it's got some day-type-things going on in the middle, then it finishes nicely with a Saturday/Sunday weekend at the bottom right' (week-on-view calendar).

Thats the sort of question you get asked in large corporate companies, particularly Pharmaceutical ones.
Bit like, "How are you fixed".
Erm, was I broken??

Yeah, I knew the risks when I got sucked in by Great Big Pharma Inc. It's probably more a surpirse that after 10 years I even notice people saying these things. Actually, it makes me wonder about the ones that doubtless do get said but I don't notice...
At the risk of being a Grumpy..........I hate "Lessons will be learned". They never are, are they?

I don’t have a kitten but I do have a cold.
I also made 5 lb of Cumberland sausages for what its worth.
Might have a pity me party tonight
All welcome, bring asprins
Haha I've had an entire pity day for myself. Have a fun party - drink honey and lemon, and lie in bed (or on the sofa) watching comforting films.
Do you think the desire to sing is directly proportional to the pain of a sore throat for a reason? Maybe it's just cause I know I shouldn't.

Feel even worse this morning. Had porridge for breakfast, and a couple of aspirins. Curling up with a box of Kleenex and a book for the rest of the day.
Why is Pip (from The Archers) so irritating?

Does anyone know the significance of the current Google logo 
The writer of those books was born 105 years ago tomorrow. Is his name Dr Suess?

They're all character's from the Dr Seuss books. I don't know why they should be on google though...
EDIT: A bit of digging has found that tomorrow would have been his 105th birthday.

Do you not know Dr Seuss? "The Butter Battle Book" is one of my favourites of all time!
Anyway, it's Dr Seuss's birthday on 2nd March.

There is free cake on offer at work. You have to walk over to by the canteen to get it.
Nobody seems to be going to get any
(Well, having made my first scary phone call of the day, I think I will go and get some to fortify myself with free cake prior to making my second scary phone call of the day. Even if nobody else is going over there).

That would mean it's also warmer up here (which I doubt) because we get lads wearing shorts in December and January, and...(any other month you choose).
And don't ask what lasses wear - I'm usually distinctly over-dressed on a night out, and I will generally wear nice jeans/trousers, a strappy top and a thin cardi-style top.
Love Amber's current signature...
I wrote the date at the top of my notebook today and thought, "Oh, 3x3=9, isn't that a nice date".

Well I hope you are ready for Saturday week - 14th March, or in American: 3/14. It's Pi Day. There's lots of goodies to celebrate at Think Geek, such as a Pi Symbol Ice Cube Tray
Looks like we had Spring on Sunday, back to a wet summer now.

Reminds me of what my son wrote on my 54th birthday card: "Don't think of it as 54, think of it as 2 x 3^3; it sounds much younger!"
Thats terrific, but Im a prime number at the moment , and even next week I can only be 2 x 31 !!
Following year will be better 7 X 3^3 !

I have no coat that I can wear except my big winter one and a leather jacket. I love my leather jacket, but it doesn't seem to fit my shy, classical music/musical loving personality, and I always feel like people are looking at me funny when I wear it, though I know it suits me as much as anything does...
Shall I wear it when I go out tonight, or shall I get cold?

It's getting colder! You could even consider the big winter coat the way the weather's going! 
MY youngest (8), said to me tonight " Mummy, when you were young, were you alive?" 
Since I joined the forums, I've posted 65 times on the 'What's made you happy' thread, but 72 times on the scream thread.
So... my not-quite-new-year's resolution is to find more things to be happy about.
