sobriqueWell, now. Interesting days.
Today's 'news' is that Prince Harry went to a fancy dress party dressed as a Nazi. There was a real furore and fuss made.
Is it just me who thinks that that's a chronic over reaction, of people being offended on someone elses behalf?
[Poll #417813]
In other news, I now have an electric hair trimmer. I shall be experimenting with that tonight. So I may have to call in to work with 'bad hair' and arrive late as I go to the barbers for a 'fix'.
And also, I have been having a chat with a nice chap from a recruitment agency, who's spotted my LJ (Hello Fhamid!). We were having a bit of a chat about a 'prospect' at a small company called Merill Lynch. Which does kind of sound interesting. It'd be tough at the moment, because I've got a couple of things 'on the go' at the moment, which I really would like to see through. (VMWare, and certification, and a new SAN in march). This is leaving aside the relocating/commuting choices. Which whilst they're not out of the question, well, London can be a difficult move. It'd be a bit of a pity to disrupt Larping, although that's not guaranteed by any means.
We shall see yet. The current situation suits pretty well, but ... well the housing market is pretty brutal, and I am giving thought to buying somewhere.
Friday tomorrow. I'm on call unfortunately, so I shall be staring longingly at other people's pints at the beer engine. And I may be a little late, if I stop to go to the Gym.
Edit: Just thought though, worst case is I just have to refuse to remove my hat for a day or two...

It also depends on how you deal with traumatic incidents, if you are sufficiently removed then you can joke about it. Ever since I lost a couple of teeth to some drunken townie a few years back, the phrase "kick your teeth in" has a different feel to it. It is no longer as humorous as it once was.
When I was in Israel some years ago I went to a pub with some of the younger generation of my family. Their grandparents had been caught in the holocaust, yet they were telling jokes about it.
And yes it was I who voted for the comedy (sic) option in the poll.
