This is very true.
For what it's worth, I think Soturi be fly. There is a difference between sexy curves and unsightly flab, she definitely falls into the former category for me!
That said, getting fitter in terms of being healthy can only be a good thing regardless of how you feel about your body.
Keep on keepin' on Musha, do whatever makes you happy mate.
Edit: also, I'm just gravy this morning. The weather is awesome, I'm happy in life and things in general are just peachy.
Buzz buzz!
I know exactly what you mean. It's the default response anyone gives whenever you say you're dieting. The opposite is pretty crap too.
When people ask why you're not drinking just tell them you want to be clearheaded for when you bone their mum later that day.
Works for me.
I've never tried this, but I might start.

Something quite funny/scary just happened.
I'm working away, this woman walks up to my desk and just kind of lingers behind me.
I turn around and give her the "...can I help?" face.
"Are you coming to this meeting or not?" she says impatiently. I'm filled with paranoid dread as I consider what the hell this woman I've never seen before wants from me and what I've done wrong to deserve this meeting which must surely be a grilling for something...how did she find out, oh god is it because I was accidentally linked to an internally blocked web page last week, oh Christ...
It turns out she's mistaken me for someone much more senior because we have similar names. The tension lifts and she walks off chuckling to herself.
I think I have a guilty conscience.

I'm friendly with the IT folks here so I asked them once what happens when someone clicks on a banned link. They told me they only escalate if a teacher specifically asks them to look into a pupil, don't bother with staff. PHEW.

A similar thing (kinda) happened to me shortly after I started my current job. It was the first Partners' meeting since I joined and afterwards the FCO comes in my office and says "Well, you've let me down...". I'm thinking ohshitohshitohshit, and he finishes "...there's still some birthday cake left in the kitchen". I'm still not sure if he did it on purpose, but it was completely deadpan and I nearly had a heart attack.
Hey, aren't you leaving that place soon anyway Daps? Go on all the banned webpages you want!

Actually, I keep forgetting to mention it, but this month is going to be easy going for me anyway.
I've accrued a good 10 days worth of paid leave that I've got to use before I leave otherwise I lose it. I'm thinking I'll take it all in one pop right after Destiny comes out. I've been meaning to step things up and take my bedroom from "unsightly" status to "foul lair" status so I'm sure not leaving the house for a week ought to do the trick.

If you have leave available and decide not to take it the company has to pay you for it

That's what I thought but I've been told this isn't a possibility and can't get a straight answer on exactly why...or maybe they gave me a straight answer and I wasn't listening. Perhaps something to do with the extension to the contract (they were willing to pay us for leave not taken when we were going to finish at the end of August). All the other contractors have booked a heap of time off because of this.
To me it's not of that much consequence: I'd rather take the time off than be paid for leave not taken because the more time I spend out of the office means the less I'm available to clear up the catastrophic mess that I will inevitably leave behind from all the cases I fucked up when I started.
I am not a very responsible person.
Maybe it's where I work but how come everyone's interests are so dull?
"Outside of work, Bill enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his family. "
"Outside of work, Amanda enjoys following the fortunes of her beloved [football club]."
"Outside of work, Gareth is a keen golfer and is hoping to lower his handicap to an acceptable level [Ho Ho Ho]."
It's always the same things over and over. It's got to be a lie, right?

Are you reading people's bios from the Meet the Team section of the website or something? No one puts their real interests there, you have to put something safe and uncontroversial.

"Outside of work, Bill likes smoking animal bones. He spend his nights inserting spoons into his prostate, and spends most weekends hanging around playgrounds and pushing children off their bikes."
"Outside of work, Laura is a keen dominatrix and is hoping to pop a client's ballsack with her high heels."
"Outside of work, Sarah enjoys following the fortunes of her beloved Rwandan Child Soldier unit. Her favourite "little man" is Bienvenue who has 32 confirmed kills this season."

It's funny reading the info about new teachers that gets sent around. Pretty much all of them are keen sportspeople. I'm reading it thinking "where's the fat fuck who likes watching telly?". But our teachers are pretty straight like that. Very type-A, strong people. Sport is important.
Shit, I can't even tell people here about my favourite activities (getting fucked up and watching porn awwww yeah hahahaa).
One girl just realised that I make heavy music and immediately made the leap to 'devil worship' lmao. I can't figure out if her religion and status as a fucking idiot are somehow related.
So much of work revolves around keeping the true extent of who I really am from the people I work with. Which is odd.

Someone has just made a really skinny cheese sandwich (he patted it down) then put it in the toaster.
Me: "Um, what are you doing?"
Him: "Making a toastie."
Must be his first time...
Most companies will out of courtesy, but it's not a legal requirement to reimburse you for holidays you decided not to take. Gentoo don't for example, if decide not to use them, tough shit.
Of course, if you've requested them but been denied the opportunity to take them, that's a different story.

It's been in my contract for every company I've ever worked for, so I guess I thought it was standard. I must have just worked for some damn awesome companies.

I've always been curious about these myself. Maybe I'll give 'em a whirl.
Yeah, it's pretty nice of them to give you it in pay when they don't really have to.
It's simply a case of fulfilling their obligation mate. They have a legal requirement to provide you with holidays, but it's not their responsibility to ensure you take them. And to be fair, no company in their right mind would ask you to take time off!

Condoning would mean you accept and allow a behavior. I think the word you were looking for was perhaps condemn?

Yes, you are correct, I condone this condemnation of my poor English. My apologies, it was early and my brain still needed caffeine.
