Mix and Match

Jared and I were teamed up at work last night for the first time in ages, so I got to find out why he’s on his final warning. Apparently he told a customer to ‘get her fat, ugly arse out of the way’ when he was trying to stock up some washing powder. He must be a nightmare employee if you’re his manager, but he’s a joy to work with as a colleague. He regaled me with his latest imaginary exploits and I found myself laughing til I shook. I felt really weird, and I thought I might be getting a cold or something, and then I realized – it’s the first time I’ve been at work without a cloud above my head for ages, and the first time in months that I’ve actually found myself laughing. Maybe the pills are working already.

I managed to get a version of Computer Chess from a charity shop for 25p today! I loaded it up with furtive anticipation thinking this was my chance to play and learn, in preparation of my next encounter with Ted. I set it to ‘Beginner – Level 1’ chilled a bottle of pop in readiness of my victory, and it beat me five moves quicker than Ted did on Sunday. The disk is now in three pieces in the bin. Next time Ted and I are due to play, I’m going to send my computer over and I’ll stay home and watch ‘Neighbours’ instead.

Oh by the way, have you heard? Apparently Gordon Ramsay bathes in goats milk..
