You know what really makes me happy?

Getting sacked!

? You got sacked?

By one client. Not from the whole job, Iā€™m self-employed.

But sometimes, thatā€™s what you want!

My friends a category management consultant and wanted out of a contract so he basically drove them to the point of sacking him so there was no contract termination stuff

Beating the system and not losing my about to expire loyalty points by having a parcel delivered to a colleague.

May not get my hands on my new Oakleys for a few months but at least I didnā€™t lose 50 odd quids worth of loyalty points.

So Iā€™ve just found out that the Senior Project Manager I work most closely with in my organisation collaborates, on a different project, with the head of the group that developed BritainFromAbove - itā€™s a pretty small world!

Man how I wish Iā€™d sold @ $50 and rebrought right about now!!

Sword has been ordered. Something to look forward to in 8 weeks. Now to brush up on sword drill so I can use it on every first and last parade #ccf

Sword drill is probably my favourite area of drillā€¦ So much grace involved

As long as you canā€™t count to 5 youā€™ll be fineā€¦ Apart from the flourish that blows every oneā€™s mind

Just hold it in one hand and wave it about a bitā€¦

I hope you spend it on getting lessons in grace and decorum, because you have all the grace of a reversing dumptruck, without any tyres on

Enjoy!

My boyfriend was very upset when I told him that I wouldnā€™t be getting a sword! Weā€™d been at a wedding with a Regular who had his there, a little while before I got my CFC and I think he thought Iā€™d be get one too!

Making me happy when something sparks a memory.

@anon9987823 posted about Steps in GMG thread and it brought back a memory of when they were popular and the local shock jock announced steps could be seen outside a local historical building.

He did this on the first of April, said building being famous for the steps outside it and people were paying for taxis to get there from 20 and 30 miles away some even keeping their kids off school to go šŸ¤¦

Caused uproar locally, with the idiots that travelled at least, and the radio station ending up paying for a lot of the taxis.

Is something Steps were good for and didnā€™t feel it deserved to be in GMG as it really has put a smile on my face.
