Yesterday when I was driving back from my parents' place, somewhere near Bogston (maybe nearer Cartsdyke) train station (I think, not that it matters) I spotted this advert for the Labour election campaign, which shows a map of the British isles with Scotland ripped off the mainland, seperated, and the words "What then" written next to it.

I really like this poster. Very simple, very powerful, very important. Raises the right questions for the right reasons. I am all for Scottish devolution, assuming that the Scottish parliament feel they can guide us through, and they feel that we can make it as an independent country. And I am not sure that Scotland - on it's own - can make it.

What really surprised me today when I drove back from kite-flying (a whole other story!), I notice it had been graffiti'd. Not in the normal way with a big bushy moustache or something stupid - someone has spray-painted the words "Self-respect" under the "What then?"

*thinks*

Well.....

I scored a 66% on the "How Phil Are You?" Quiz! What about you?

I'm only 66% Phillish?
Yikes!

Please no, I don't wanna go back. Especially not to a late shift - 1140 through to 2200. I don't want to have to deal with fuckwits who can't figure out how to make a phone call, who can't be bothered to read their manual and assume that I'm an expert on their handset which is 5 years old and held together with selotape.

I doubly don't want to have to argue with H.R. about getting my money. I'm lucky right now because my Mum gave me a whopping cheque yesterday (which I cashed today) for my car insurance for next year. I've found it even cheaper than I expected so made a profit (which I am sure I shall repay someday!).

I don't want to deal with being shouted at, being swore at and being told how stupid I am, and how I obviously am as thick as you are, all in the name of "good customer service" - after all, the customer is always right!

I can't call in sick, though. I don't need to, I don't want to, I have no good reason to.
