I am going to see Star Wars today at 2PM and I am excited.

May the Force be with you.

I can confirm there are no awful Midichlorians in the movie and the Force is back to being a cool and good space-religion.

its one of many ways to tell someone had a catholic upbringing, because they'll say, quietly, "and also with you" during star wars movies.

also the other main one is pretty obvious: they'll tell you

All my managers are "working from home" for the rest of the week, so I'm just gonna chill at my desk, drink coffee and browse the internet.

Homeing from work, so to speak.

Exactly what I'm doing. There's literally no work for me to do but I haven't got any more holiday days left to take so I have to come in anyway and look busy. Homeing from work isn't too bad though when your work cafe is cheap and loving tasty and good.

Still haven't bought the wife an xmas present. I don't think "This house you now live in and broke me financially" counts.

Might bunk off work tomorrow and wander around Brent Cross praying for inspiration and a quick death.

Why would it do that!?
I do a job that actually has work at all times so it's pretty busy for me! I had my annual appraisal yesterday as well, got excellent ratings, best in the company nearly 100000 employees) for several competencies, goals 100% complete... but as I've given in my notice I will get no bonus and the company limits itself to one line for references so when my new employer contacts my current employer all they will be told is that I worked for the company across a certain period and my job title. Safe to say I'm glad to be leaving!

Hooray!

I went shopping to find something for my mum. Found it, bought it, came home. Completely forgot that I was going to buy christmas cards for family members as well. Might not bother and make the "they're all a bit pointless really" speech.

Every year I tell my friends and family that I make a donation to a donkey sanctuary instead of giving cards. I don't. I cant be arsed to spend money on cards and time filling them out, knowing that I will forget people, just because other people judge their own and other's value by how many cards they get, how fancy they are, and who didn't get them one.

I have a huge family, my grandparents had 18 siblings between them and if I forget to send one to Great Aunty Dot and do send one to Great Aunty Florrie or if any one of them sees a card from me at my parents house and they didn't get one then a small war will be started, this way I just need to tell my grandma about the poor donkeys and no one is offended.

edit: my grandma's present pile is almost as tall as her and all of it is booze, they know her well.

If the pub is 'just right', this is the best kind of pub drinking.

The other week I spent an hour or so reading the papers, with an adorable Rough Collie, and a cat, in a quiet corner of a pub. It was quite nice. Then my jerk friends turned up and ruined it.

If the hand pump for Landlord is green it means Timothy Taylor's considered the Landlord at that particular pub to be particularly well kept. Landlord is a great beer, a pub near me managed to get Batham's Best Bitter in the other day, I'm gonna drink it all as who knows when it will appear near me again.
