Apologies, Blueseaurchin — and everyone else, come to that. I was (and remain) so utterly embarrassed and mortified by the sheer mind-numbing tedium of this post that I decided not to respond to any comments on it. Probably for the best.

I cannot speak for the rest of your court, but I feel very much ignored — not receiving the nod of approval or the severe shake of the head.

I don’t care so much for Ben either as he seems to be at the root of all these evil.

Dear all — I was planning to respond to these comments, but Ben has so successfully lowered the tone — not that it was that high to begin with, admittedly — that I am lost for words. I am now going to visit the lavatory, as per instructions. Well, it is Sunday, and considering the above post was written on Thursday, it’s probably about time.

Sorry, is that too much information?

I am very concerned about you.

This is a self-confessed comprehensive overview of your day, yet it seems that not once did you visit the lavatory. Only the Queen doesn’t visit the lavatory.

You’re not the Queen are you?

‘… following the swirling lights of the passing traffic dance …’

Just the very sort of minor detail required to enliven such minor details.

Well done Mr. Witness.

Well done indeed.

I’m upset. I see nothing to swoon at here.

I don’t see the problem. You didn’t have people telling you about having the squits all day, did you?

I vote for toast! We get to vote on what we want you to do, right?

Good. Toast and marmite it is!

11:30 am — my supervisor is not around. I am trying with difficulty to maintain an air of awakeness while noticing that when i shut my eyes they slightly burn. I wonder if there is something wrong with me or with them or if its just lack of sleep. I will no doubt google this to death.

11:32 I am wearing a scratchy thick blue wool turtle neck. I am beginning to regret my decision as the weather is warmer then I had anticipated making the scratchiness more irritating then if it were cooler.

11:33 My Google search has informed me that my dry eyes are an indication that I have not slept enough.

11:34 I am scratching my back and wondering how someone can suffer so much from sleep deprivation and still not go to bed on time to rectify the problem.

11:35 lent scissor to colleague to cut some medication bag open and inquired as to why she was nto feeling well.

11:36 I want sleep so bad I think I will cry. I try to take deep breaths of air to stay awake.

11:40 I close my eyes with my hand leaning my forhead to hide the fact — it feels blissful.

It has been precisely one hour and forty six minutes since your last update. I am concerned that you may have died of meeting boredom. Please reassure me this is not the case.

I dutifully called those numbers for you. They claim not to be aware of your existence? A mix-up perhaps? I did give them your email address for follow-up though. That’s okay, right?

RE: 9.41 am: “Rita Hayworth gave good face” — What the HELL is that supposed to mean? Nobody has, to my recollection, ever given me face (good or otherwise). I can proudly state that at no time in my life have I knowingly given any kind of face to anyone.
.
I wonder whether Madonna secretly hoped that this truly desperate shoehorning of a rhyme would become some kind of fashion buzz-phrase that would leak out into everyday usage, thus saving her the embarrassment of penning one of the worst rhymes in history ever: “Did you see the great face Kate Moss gave in Cosmopolitan last week?“
.
It is now lunchtime and I am off to give teeth (great or otherwise) to a sandwich.

I bet the following will occur to you at some point during the meeting:

Kill me now.
No wait, first I will kill them.
Ready… aim…
I wonder whether Ani has written one of her fabulous posts today?
Must. Resist. Urge. To. Scream.
Argh!
Oranges and ducks. And breathe.

Sort of in that order, too, probably.

You are going to mention me soon, aren’t you?

I know you are!

Oh Unreliable, you doth protest too much.

Oh. My. God.

AUW, I’m worried about you. I am going to get all your commenters together and stage an eyelid intervention. Just trust me. It’s for your own good.

Now repeat after me: I am not the usual rubbish. I am not the usual rubbish. I am not…
