Firefox and early mornings
What an ingodly hour of the morning to be in work. Up at 5 and in here for 5.30 for urgent updates to a website. Who looks at a website at 6 in the morning? Apart from me that is. It was pissing rain and pitch black when I hailed my cab. With a mad man. Who ignores the signs for No Right turn and apparently was so busy chatting, hit ramps at 60 mph. I hit the roof a few times. Lovely man though. Just a bit insane. More illegal maneouvres then I’ve seen Mammy2 execute of an average evening. But he was so nice about, i let him away. And there wasn’t much traffic around at this hour. Who cares about U-Turns? I got here on time with only a few bumps on the head and some song about shaking booties in my brain.
The kid is back in school and its hell apparently. They are all facists, nothing new there. They are all talk about her being the alco of the school. I suspect she may be slightly paranoid but I do feel for her. Its been tough getting her up on Monday and yesterday but she seems to be facing it.
Well, that and she wants to drop out. Oh, and she wants to go to art college. We’ve been looking at the requirements for Dun Laoghaire, she’s NOT going to NCAD, its full of knobs. To quote the great woman herself
Her art project is nearing completion , a week after it was due. See my head where the hair should be? Yip, stressed? Me? No. She had a head to head with the art teacher yesterday. Yesterday, when it got very dark and you could hear the rumbling of thunder and there was a couple of flashes of lightning, that was them ‘talking’. I’m not sure how the art teacher fared but the kid was a bit bruised and battered. I am counting the days until she finishes school. So is she I’m sure! Still, in another few weeks she’s be on christmas holidays and hopefully, then we will be into the final few months of the madness.
I was at a firefox party last night, don’t ask. Yes, it is completly nerdy and yes I did enjoy it. Managed not to win anything though. They gave away loads of merchandise, I am convinced myself and the mate C were the only ones not to win one thing. But I got stickers! There was about 100 or more people there and I got chatting to some woman about accessibility. My new favourite subject. For now. This may change.
We are heading away with the in-laws for the weekend. Fun times ahead. You know those films where you see families gathered together and all hell breaks loose. I fear this may be one of those occasions. I get on well with them and all that, its just the thought of spending a weekend with
them gets me a little ansty. I shall hang in the background, talk to the childers and take pics. Its what I do best 
Although I refrain from baby talk to the kids, perhaps that’s why I get on well with them. 5 chimps under the age of 6. And they are all roughly the same height as me. I kid you not.
Its still pissing. I swear I just saw someone canoe past the window. When you consider I work on the 2nd floor, one thinks I should perhaps stop taking those pills. Or start, whichever way you look at it.
Christmas lights are up on Henry Street, they looks fab. I danced when I saw them. Then stopped because tourists started throwing money at me , thinking I was a leprechaun and asking me where my shillelagh was. Rude feckers. Time to load the christmas songs onto the work PC and drive everyone insane with the joy of the festive season. 39 days! Wahooooooooooooo
