Professional disasters
« on: July 18, 2007, 09:33:15 AM »
Trying to book flights for the Boss and I can't apparently according to the BA website I need to register the company credit card. Try to do that, I'm told it isn't necessary to register company credit cards that they should not be registered in fact! No answer as to why the BA website suggests that I do need to. Am now in a queue to speak to BA.  sad24:

This is positively ruining Harry Potter film day.

Surely it isn't normal to be in dire need of a drink at 10:30 am!

My friends call me Gobby the House Elf.  redface:

I spent most of the night finding them and then shutting the window trying to decide if I wanted it spoiled or not.

Is this a term of endearment used by BF?
As in "Oi Gobby, get the beers in"

And Wenchy didnt invite any of us?  sad24:

Actually having said that, proximity to Nick would probably have caused some major catastrophe  scared2:

It's Five O'clock Somewhere ~ Alan Jackson

Best Version is sung by Willie Nelson
Quote
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,
An' so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it's July.
I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I'd like to call him somethin',
I think I'll just call it a day.

Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
An' half the night.
Tomorrow mornin', I know there'll be hell to pay,
Hey, but that's all right.
I ain't had a day off now in over a year.
Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here.
Hit the 'phones for me,
You can tell 'em I just sailed away.

An' pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab,
An' be back to work before two.
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffet do?

Funny you should ask that because I'd say:
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.

Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
He don't care.
I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

What time zone am on? What country am I in?
It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere.
It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it.
Yeah, I heard that.
You been there haven't you.
Yessir.
I seen your boat there.
I've been to Margaritaville a few times.
All right, that's good.
Stumbled all the way back.
OK. Just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons.
Between the buoys, I tell you.
All right. Well, it's five o'clock. Let's go somewhere.
I'm ready, crank it up.
Let's get out of here.
I'm gone.
Let's get out of here.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
