Self-penned externalisation of daily occurences
Among my list of things to avoid doing this afternoon (bare minimum only, thank you), is the pompous, management-speakily titled "Healthwise Workstation Assessment". This basically means I'm expected to devote forty five minutes of my time (which frankly could be better spent trolling the blogosphere dropping comments into other people's blogs much to their futile annoyance) going through a patronising online exercise devised in order that the HR department can tick a box marked "Is everybody's chair comfortable?" and therefore avoid litigation should one of us inadvertently snap our spine because we haven't got a wrist rest. This makes me cross for a number of reasons, which I won't rant about here as it'll only alert the firewall to my sneaky attempts to blog from work, and that's just plain irritating. The main one, though, is that I did the exact same exercise last year, and I still have the same chair, desk, pc etc. So, with my permission, can't the HR department and I be complicit in them ticking the box and me not suing them when my leg falls off (due to my mouse being incorrectly aligned)?
And why do I have "Angelo" by the Brotherhood of Man playing on a loop in my head?

Do you know any songs about cricket?
Oh no, you've done it now.
Didn't Disney do a song about Cricket ? Or was that Jimmy Cricket ?
um, Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc? it's got the word cricket in it.....
and it was JIMINY cricket, not Jimmy Cricket. Jimmy Cricket was that shit comedian with L and R on his wellies...
Ah bollocks, you all knew who I meant. Was trying to convince the watching nation that I actually didn't know anything about sappy Disney movies...obviously I failed.
My chair's actually quite comfy. Where do I tick?
you can't tick until you've done your assessment, which will ascertain whether you can tell the difference between a chair, a medieval torture rack and a water buffalo. at which point you MAY be trusted with a propelling pencil, but only on production of a note from your mum.
Hey, I decided to google the phrase 'cricket songs' - guess what...
...lots of articles about the noises insects make.
AND a song. Which I shall post on my blog one day.
So that's something to look forward to.
consider my breath duly bated....
