No sleep for the wicked
It's a bit of a while since I was this knackered.
Wednesday was the worst. Up at five in the morning which is a crime, if ever. Then I spent hours mooching around the hospital, drinking gallons of coffee [it was nice coffee, actually] and chatting up the nurses. At one stage I even had a fry-up breakfast [I never eat breakfast] just to pass the time. I presumed because it was served up in a hospital it had to be cholesterol free?
When we got home I tried to have a doze but I was so fucking wired up with caffeine it was impossible, There was a message on the phone to say I had missed a delivery, so I rang the bloke back. He said he would deliver the following morning, so I told him under no circumstances was he to ring the door bell, and to just leave the parcel on the doormat. He agreed to that. I went to bed looking forward to a grand lie-in.
The fucking doorbell went at nine. The twat had decided that because there was a car there that I must be in. He won't be delivering here again in a hurry.
Then the Delightful Daughter phoned in a panic. Her laptop is bust and she knows I'm an expert because I keep breaking mine. I said I would try to fix it. Fucking thing had me demented. It kept switching itself off for no reason, not that it made any difference because it wouldn't load anything anyway. I fucked it in a corner and went to bed with the blissful thoughts of a grand lie-in.
The Atomic Energy Commission woke me at nine this morning to fix my central heating. I had to let 'em in otherwise the Merkans might make it an excuse to invade me. They did a great job and they replaced my molten red reactor vessel with a larger pale blue one. If I have enough breakdowns will I graduate to a black one?
So maybe tomorrow I shall have my lie-in.
If anyone disturbs me this time, there will be blood spilled.
Yeah that delivery chap wasn't the smartest. One of those companies now leaves your parcel with a neighbour. That means calling into neighbours I've had for 8 years but never met. I live in one of those stuck up areas.
The usual crowd have a much better system – if they are early [or I'm out] they just leave the parcel down in the shop. Yesterday's fella was a nice bloke but not quite the sharpest knife.
OT but when I saw this I thought of you.

What the hell is that all about? How can a crime have a carbon footprint? I notice though they say it needs "urgent research" [so urgent, no one has ever thought about it before!]. Here comes a new pressure group…..
I feel a research grant coming on.
