Subject: I hate photocopiers

fucking stupid things never work, they get "repaired" by some brain dead dude with a pathetic toolbox and dinky little computer thing and then bugger up your original copy next time you try to use it

if the little shit who says he repaired mine this morning comes back next time I'm gonna kill him very very slowly

so I'd like you all to submit some torture techniques just so I can be ready

thank you

p.s. I'm so busy today I can't think straight and I feel ill, I hate this bloody job

The answer to your photocopier woes is to move to a paperless office, that way you'll never need one. I almost never print anything these days -- I don't even have any drawers or filing space at my desk.

OUR techie compter guys that is, "sex on legs" is the nickname of my favourite *smirk*

however, the all the Uni photocopiers are under contract to be supplied and repaired by an outside firm and they are crap to put it mildly, we complain to the department that controls all this but don't get anywhere at all *sigh*

I wish we could be completely paperless, it would be wonderful but I don't see it happening any time soon

S7 of BtVS? Sorry Joss but all those SITs are sure to drive him crazy!

I hope the afternoon was better, and that you're now kicking back with a cool drink and a yummy meal. :-)

just tucking into chilli con carne and rice and a long cool beer, yummy!

But tonight I'm having tuna salad and baked zucchini with salsa and cheese while watching Godfather 2. Doubt I'll be able to finish it though!

I really envy you seeing it for the first time!! The performances are excellent, the actors really shine and the visuals are breathtaking, my only complaint is that it lulls a little in the middle but soon picks up again, also there are so many characters you really have to concentrate and not lose track, anyway, hope you enjoy it and look forward to your thoughts on it afterwards.

Jesus, Andy, are you in a different time zone to me? I'm still at work, and never have dinner before about 8pm, normally more like 9pm. Do you like have two dinners or something? How many meals a day do you have exactly?

[> [> [> [> ummm, no darlin' I'm not -- andypandy, 19:05:53 05/21/08 Wed [1] (82.30.76.72)

I ate at 5.15pm, Mike had it ready when I came home from work, he knew I hadn't had any lunch and was feeling crappy after such a lousy day, it was lovely to walk in and it be there all ready for me.

When I'm being a good girl and all sensible I eat three square meals a day with snacks in between but its my bad week this week so I'm all over the place ;-)

[> [> Hey! Some of those SiTs were hot! -- DZR, 17:56:37 05/21/08 Wed [1] (82.6.99.15)

Typical. You drool constantly over the guys on Lost, but put a boatload of hot chicks on a show and suddenly you don't like it. I sometimes have that same dream Xander did at the beginning of Dirty Girls, you know:


ACT I:

26 INT. XANDER'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Xander's floor is covered with sleeping bags and potentials. In his bedroom, he's under the blanket in his bed, and one of the potentials is sitting on his bed in skimpy pajamas, chatting.

XANDER
I know it's hard.

POTENTIAL
I haven't been able to sleep the last few nights.

XANDER
Hey, listen. It's gonna be OK. Buffy knows what she's doing. She's not gonna send you into battle until she's sure you're ready for action. (nods)

POTENTIAL
That's just it, though. How will I know I'm ready...for action?

XANDER
You have to trust us.

POTENTIAL
I'm so scared, Xander. I'm so young. (looks into Xander's eyes)

XANDER
Well, believe it or not, I was younger than you when I started all this.

POTENTIAL
There's just so much I haven't done, so much I need to do. It's like... I never had a real boyfriend, you know?

XANDER
Yeah?

POTENTIAL
(coyly) I've never been with a man. I could die tomorrow, and I've never been with a man.

XANDER
Well, uh—

Another girl appears sitting on the bed beside the first potential.

POTENTIAL 2
I've never been with a man before either.

XANDER
(smiles) Colleen.

POTENTIAL 2 / COLLEEN
I've never been with her in front of a man before.

POTENTIAL
I've never been with her in front of a man, either.

XANDER
Um...

POTENTIAL
(both girls crawl toward Xander seductively) Xander...

XANDER
We can't.

COLLEEN
We're so scared. (the first potential nods)

XANDER
The others might hear us.

COLLEEN
(shakes head) No, they won't.

POTENTIAL
(shakes head) They're OK.

The door to Xander's room opens to reveal a living room full of girls pillow-fighting in their skimpy pajamas. The air is filled with feathers.

RONA (O.S.)
Xander!

Cut to:

27 INT. XANDER'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Xander is startled awake in his bedroom by Rona's insistent calls. There's three other girls standing in the doorway wearing decent (not skimpy) pajamas, glaring at Xander with their arms crossed.

RONA
Xander!

XANDER
Wha—?

RONA
(sighs) God damn it!

XANDER
What's going on? I was sleeping.

RONA
(irritated) Dominique has the stomach flu, and the toilet bowl is backed up.

XANDER
(smiles nervously) I'll be right out. (takes one of his hands out from under the covers) Got, uh, a leg cramp.

Rona nods and walks out, shutting the door behind her. Xander leans his head back on the pillow and rolls his eyes.

[> [> [> But the hot Lost guys also contribute something to the plot! -- Gabs, 18:52:37 05/21/08 Wed [1] (83.222.146.101)

Whereas the SITs were just... cannon fodder.

I knew exactly which scene you meant but thanks anyway for the transcript, now I sort of want to watch that bit again. Or Andrew's storytelling ep!


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> I'd forgotten all about that scene -- andypandy, 19:11:46 05/21/08 Wed [1] (82.30.76.72)

must admit it was entertaining but I hated all those SIT's so much they virtually ruined S7 for me, I just wanted them all to go away and take Dawn with them.
