skylarkingSo what's new with me?
Um...*thinks*
I've got a job interview on Wednesday morning. Apparently there's going to be a numeracy test afterwards.
I don't like the sound of that. I don't like tests.
And I don't have to be able to add up and stuff – that's why God invented Excel.
*grumbles*
Dr Who on Saturday was a fabulous hiding behind the sofa episode. Weird gas alien things taking over the bodies of corpses and trying to conquer the world. Fantastic!
I walked 12 miles on Saturday. Training for the Moonwalk is going well, and I've reached double figures with the miles I have to walk on weekend now.
It's 14 miles this coming weekend, and 5 miles (at speed) tomorrow and Thursday. It's funny because it doesn't make my feet hurt, the part of me that's protesting is my thighs. They're going -
"Hmmmm – this is new and I'm not sure it's good"
By the end of this I'll be able to kill people with them.
Fear me and my thighs of steel!!
The tricky bit is asking people to sponsor me. I always feel weird about that.
I got two postcards on Friday. One from LA from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ckdutchess and one from Leeds from sunsetmog - Thank you!
Leeds and LA, what a combination.
A woman buys a luxury car n drives it out of the showroom .She discovers that the car's radio is not working, she goes back to make a complaint. The sales person informs her that as it is very special and high tech car, the radio works by voice command, she has only say the name of the station and the radio will automatically tune in to it. She drives out again and says 'classical'. And sure enough, she hears Beethoven's moonlight sonata playing beautifully. After listening to it for some time, she decides to change the channel. This time she selects 'rock n roll' and as soon as she says these words the Beatle's" Hard Days Nights" starts playing. She is very pleased with her purchase and was enjoying the smooth driving as well as the music. Suddenly a rashly driven car overtakes her and almost pushes her off the road.'Bloody idiot' the woman shouts in the anger. And the voice of the radio says "ladies and gentlemen, the President of The United States..."
---------------------
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test which will take two hours and I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.
They sent faxes.
They sent e-mail.
They sent out e-mail with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did some genealogy reports.
They made cards.
They did every known job.
But, ten minutes before the time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured, and, of course, the electricity went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed in every curse word known in the underworld!
Jesus just sighed.
The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted their computers.
Satan started searching frantically screaming, "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all his files from the past two hours.
Satan observed this and became even more irate. "Wait! He cheated! How did he do it??!!"
God shrugged and said, "Jesus Saves. "
