please?! it will be fun

Ended up going to dub police, just because it was closer to where i was pubbing (oxford street). It was ok, and i quite enjoyed dubwoofa. Only caught a little bit of distance's set, which sounded big but the Herbal sound system is a bit lacking!

i just had one of my classic - dara is a blonde muppet moments....

phoned up the uber geeks in london to find out what was wrong with the very expensive piece of hardware i apparently broke yesterday. After half an hour of carrying out remote CPR with my fingers on various exposed chips, he gave up and told me to take it up to london today (errrrr nooooo!! you forget about the hype sir - i'm in hype mood not london mood).

As he described how to pack it up the right way, I noticed that one of the intermediary power leads wasnt even plugged in... DOH!

jeeez, i managed to waste about 5 hours on that in the last two days....

Holy shit this job is doing my head in. Boring and repetitive, and sitting next to a girl who's had her personality and charisma entirely removed.

Im sitting at my desk on the phone to a client wishing I was back at home playing GTA deathmatch online on the PS3 like I was at lunch.

Only 4 hours to go...

I've just been fantasising about smashing a random stranger's face in repeatedly with a brick. Is office boredom really the cause of the "increase" in violent crime?

I think it might well be. If it wasn't for the SNH, I'd have gone mental. Too many people in this department are into analysis and nothing else. The business is one of these hyper-friendly companies too, which is alright in small doeses, but other than that is just enraging. Charlie Brooker has actually mentioned the place!

"Then we visit a different kind of call centre: a smiley one belonging to XXXXXXXX (better edit it out in case 'the man' is watching). The thinking here is that the happier the staff, the happier the customer. So the staff are forced to be happy.

They hold sumo wrestling tournaments in paddling pools full of foam balls. They have to form teams with wacky names (like pub quiz teams) and attach kerrrazy photos of themselves to the "team wall". The boss says things like "Hey, who wants to win a Creme Egg? First one to get the phrase 'that's tremendous' into their next call..."

And they're coached in "Above the Line Language", so they only ever say things like "I'd love to" or "I'd be happy to" instead of "I must".

It's the most terrifying, awful place I've ever seen, and it's the size of the National Exhibition Centre, for Christ's sake. It's madness. Any sane person working there would pray daily for a massacre. As the gunmen burst in, firing indiscriminately, the first genuine smile in six months would spread wide across your face, and you'd leap, giggling, into the line of fire."

I've worked in some bad corporate environments, but that sounds fucking abhorrent. Uck. I'm actually creeped out by that.

You should treat all their efforts with the massive disinterest they deserve - sounds fucking horrific. It's as if getting everyone to act like childrens' tv presenters is somehow the solution to everything.

Gun them down and gut them like fish, it'll make the world a better place
