kambucta, yeah that why I live in fear of being Caught in the place that I try to avoid work.

Actually I’ve worked more today than I did on Monday AND Tuesday.

I am on a dirty great big T1 connection, a fast PC and great keyboard skills (well fast anyway), so I get a lot posted … well that was just a pathetic attempt to convince myself I’m working. Didn’t work.

Hey, Waterbury elected Giordano, and we laugh at him just as much. Is Naugatuck really the only Burough in the state? I haven’t lived here for long, and don’t know much of the towns history.

Naugatuck, Middlebury, Beacon Falls, Waterbury, it’s all pretty much the same town. And yes, Naugatuck is the only borough in the state of Connecticut. Be proud.

Bugger It.  
I’ve gotta go to work in ten minutes and I won’t be around to see the fireworks and hamster revolt. I don’t have the privilege of working with ANY sort of 'puter in MY workplace.

Bugger.

Bugger.

Bugger. (How long to go now? Maybe I can call in late or summat?)

Naugy is nothing like Waterbury. We elect our own corrupt officials, who have nothing to do with the ones from Waterbury. 🙂

I figure it’ll take another 2 hours or so, unless we get handy and Flamsterette\_X some crack. I’ve pretty much given up on seeing it myself, I hope it’s fun and you all get nice and drunk.
