Why am I here?
There's sewing to be done!
My garden now has some lovely plants. We have red geraniums but the door, hebes in the corners and black daliahs in the bed. Black plants are awesome. We aklso picked up something black and purple that I can't remember the name of, but is usually refered to as the angst plant.
Not convinced I'm going to get everything done for Ame. I'm so glad Ivy was done for Expo. Rozy's nearly finished and Adel should be most of the way. I need to get Joe to try it on and do something about a wig. Sora I'm most worried about, and I really shou'dn't be fine detailing the head when the body doesn't fit properly yet. I've nearly carved all four paws though, so that's another step down.I think I may be pulling all nighters the week up to Ame :(
Work is fine, but tiring at the moment as we have had a couple of people premoted, so we're short staffed before people go on holiday. One newbie has just started, seems okay. Helpdesk moron is still moronic, caught him struggling to get a user's IP the other day. The reason he was struggling? He was asking them to type OPCONFIG not IPCONFIG.
On a lighter note, we do have the helpdesk monkey. Monkey belongs to one guy, and is one of the pg tips ones, about 6" tall. One day, monkey's owner came in and found him tied up in elsatic bands with a mouseball gag in his mouth. Monkey is now known as Bondage Monkey. After this, my boss comes up with a new rule - anyone on the helpdesk who goes on holiday has to take Bondage Monkey with them and get a photo of the monkey by the beach or by a landmark etc. This duely happens. The last person to go away was my boss's boss (ie senior management). So, he tells her that there is a new rule and anyone going away has to take the monkey. She agress, and boss says he'll drop it round to her before she leaves. What we didn't realise was that she had never seen Bondage Monkey in all his glory! I have loved to see her face as she was presented with this S&M soft toy. Still, she was a good sport and took it anyway and we got her photos back this week. They were good photos, but as one of my one of my team mates pointed out "Oi [Boss], where's his gear?" Bondage monkey had been de-bondaged for the pictures.
D&D was wonderful fun. Still in the graveyard, the part attempt to get the hell out of there, when Esselt's horse gets back up and goes for them again. In the ensuing combat, Esselt decides it would be a good idea to get back on the horse. This wasn't nearly as disasterous as it might have been, though he did get thrown off twice and stamped on, and he couldn't manage to hit the thing between the ears when sat on it's back.
A short time later Talia and Charles have put the offending animal to sleep for good and it's head has been hacked off. Then Things started to go wrong. While the rest of the party decided gettng out of the graveyeard was a good idea, Esselt decided getting out of the rain was better and went back to the gravekeeper's cottage. Strangely, Talia followed him. When Charles realised, he had to leg it back across the graveyeard and burst in to find Talia had taken a swing at Esslt and missed, hitting the chair. Esselt had leapt up, worried was one of the moving chairs that had caused him so much pain in the past.
Talia was stripped of her weapon, and lead off back to the rest of the party. Bandez at this point decides he wants to sleep, so knocks on the door of the nearest house and demands the occupants leave, as there are evil forces in the area. Whe Charles protests, Bandez stats that Charles is an evil spirit and they need to flee for their lives. The couple (probably more scared of the party than any spirits) do so. Bandez goes upstairs and shuts himself in the bedroom. When Charles forces his way back in, Bandez goes out the window.
He is quickly recaptured, and Charles makes the decision that they need to get out of this place. Bandez is wrapped up and gagged at this point, so is in no position to disagree. Talia, however, decideds to make a break for it. Charles reluctantly has to knock her out, and Esselt not so reluctantly helps.
Quote of the evening by Marcus (not Esselt) was:
"I like bananas; I like breasts; I like milk. It's like the holy trinity."
