I frequent this irreverent sports site, Deadspin, and the commenters are pretty funny. One post they reviewed chain pizza places and one guy wrote:

Yeah only on planet FUCK THIS WEED IS STRONG is Little Caesar’s a preferred dinner choice over Pizza Hut.

...I would say even then. I've never been stoned enough to order Little Caesar's. Or Dominoes.

I'm on holiday this week from my job at the local council. I don't know what to do. I've been on rolling three-month contracts for almost two years now, and it's messing with my head a little. I can't make plans, and I feel a little bit unsettled. But my work is good and I feel more fulfilled in what I do (I work supplying IT support to social workers in Children's Services). Frankly. I feel good about the service I offer and feel I'm making a difference, but it eats at me that it's never permanent.

But even if it comes to an end soon, I'll leave feeling that I've done a good job. I need this to hang on to.

Dominoes has upgraded. I think you'd be surprised.

Last night, I got home and my son was all pissed off because his dumb math teacher told him that I had emailed the teacher because Derek's grades were slipping. Derek explained why his grades were lower because of missing assignments when he was sick the week before. I made a deal with my son - he has to come to me if he's having problems and I won't go to his teachers. If I hear from his teachers that he's doing badly, then we'll have problems.

And the dumbass teacher told my son I was coming into the class to observe, which was never mentioned.

I just emailed the teacher and nicely told him to shut his big yap and keep our emails between me and him.

Fingers crossed Andrew. That kind of uncertainty (so close to Christmas) is terrible.

Since you may have got some time, maybe you could do the 90s Cup next month?

I've been sick with the flu this week. The worst on Tuesday.

On Tuesday around 5 pm, I got a text from my ex saying that the woman she left the kids' dog with had lost Nikko. 5 pm is the height of the rush hour in the SF Bay Area and the freeways are packed until 7:30 at night and the place the dog ran away from was in the So. Bay. I had taken all my medicine for the night and was about to hunker down but I knew my daughter would be miserable so I called her and I told her I'd help her look for Nikko. An hour later, we get to the neighborhood and the people who lost the dog try explaining. I'm really grumpy when I'm sick and I said, "Save it. I haven't got a whole lot of sympathy for you right now," especially with my daughter crying the whole way down.

We walk the streets yelling the dog's name for another hour and I get a text from an animal shelter that they found our dog and located me through the microchip. We get back to the people's house and tell them and they ask me if they want a ride. I say, "You're joking, right? We'll go ourselves." The plan was pick up the dog and take Nikko home.

We get there and it is our dog. My daughter's overjoyed. I had told her on the way down that I had good vibes and had good luck this way and she said I didn't put enough good karma out in the world to say that. Geez, thanks.

We can't pick her up though because there's no manager there. The people who had taken care of the dog had driven to the shelter too and tried apologizing again. I said, "Too soon," and my daughter and I took off. I finally got home around 8:30 and was completely dead.

The dog sitter worked with my ex and she texted my daughter and said she's crying about what happened. I told my daughter to text my ex with, "She should feel lucky she's not in childcare."

Fuck 'em.

It's cold here today. With the wind chill factor, it feels like -18c. There's a smidgen of snow on the ground. Wore a tuque to go to work this morning (no, not just a tuque!! :x )

It's the last night of our UK trip. It was the 20thh anniversary of my Mum's death today so me and the husband went to the Estonian Club at midday - they opened up especially. It was ace. They got out all the old photos in this rotting but beautiful Victorian building and we got several vodkas and some Estonian beer. A load of pissed up Latvian pensioners came in and got tanked on rum nearby. Now we're in bed at the airport hotel eating cheese butties from Spar with small bottles of wine and we're watching the snooker on a huge TV screen. Fucking bliss.

I have to fly to Denver tomorrow with a stop in Vegas to supervise booth setup on Sunday. Today, my boss emails me and tells me we need HDMI cable and screws for video monitors.I spent half the day looking for them. I leave Tuesday. Guess what he's doing today and this weekend while I work?

Golfing.

It's in the same village: we would be moving from the most southerly old house to the most northerly one. Maybe half a mile by road.

Better apply for that passport! Good luck, hope it all works out.
