(Joint) Employee Of The Month...

...isn't something to be sniffed at. Just because I wasn't good enough to win it outright doesn't make me sad in the slightest. So when the honour was bestowed upon Internet Enquiries earlier this year, in one of the summer months' beginning with 'J', I was pleasantly surprised.

Fast forward to November, a month beginning with 'N' that falls somewhere in the middle of autumn, and we'd finally settled on a location for our victory meal. It was a triple celebration for myself, having of course also won Morsel of the Month in September and having had a haircut in October.

The meal itself went off without a hitch. We even found someone with a disposable camera to take a picture of us...

The team: circa 1996/97 - 2014

...I only managed a starter and main myself, but had a lovely selection of cheese and crackers waiting for me on my return home. It's at this juncture I feel it appropriate to plot my 2014 achievements on a line graph, so as to not forget anything as old age sets in. When I look at the below I kind of wish I hadn't bothered as I've not done much...


The trappings of fame/success were only round the corner however, and it wasn't long before a seemingly fit young filly had my Google account on lockdown. 

To cut a long story short, I thought I was chatting to a female resembling her on the left, but was actually probably chatting to a male resembling him on the right. Both beautiful in their own ways, but almost certainly after my money and other worldly possessions! Doubt they'd have bothered if they'd known I was in debt.


Hence the lack of blogging action in recent times! In terms of the math, my blog has been barren for just shy of 8 weeks; 
  • One of those was due to my Google account being suspended,
  • Another as I was quite tired after back-to-back posts in September,
  • Five and 5/7's were due to trying to work out how to centre the above arrow. In the end I just had to give up!

All's back on track now though and coming to a blog post near you in 2015...Tommyrotica. Be aroused...

Calling All Office Fans

    Who's been to the Coventry Conference? Ah yes, the fictional Coventry Conference, co-ordinated by the equally fictional Eric Hitchmough . A man whom I've never fictionally met, or even seen, yet know so much about. From his little withered hand, the wanking claw , to his signature catchphrase, ' I don't agree with that in the workplace !' Eric is... and that is what I want.    If I've lost you, I can only assume you're not quite the fan of The Office that I called for in the title of this post, or I'm not the writer that I think I am! Allow me to explain...    T he Office is the single greatest sitcom of all time, sure, so it makes sense for it's legion of fans to have a social outlet to congregate and quote the show to their heart's content. The Facebook group ' Do You Not Know Who ERIC HITCHMOUGH Is' ,  DYNKWEHI , provides such a platform.    With it's mix of quality quoting, imaginative imagery and creative commenting,...

As If I'd Never Been Away

   The time has come to put ink to quill, and subsequently quill to paper, metaphorically speaking. Now that Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's Day are out of the way, I can get back to where I left off in 2014. The last 745 days haven't passed without incident. Far from it... 2015 - I turned 28 - Took a trip to the land down under - Finally won employee of the month outright - Rode shotgun along The Autobahn - Lost my wallet on a train - Celebrated turning 28 1/2 - Bore witness to the magic of the FA Cup - Burnt a chocolate bar in a microwave - Hit up NYC 2016 - Turned 29 - Wrote a new poem (see below) - Failed to master Spanish - Voted 'Remain' - Explored South America - Spent a harrowing 43 hours on a single bus journey - Made it to 29 1/2 - Trekked Machu Picchu - Climbed Colca Canyon - Walked a Puma - Retrieved my stolen wallet in a nightclub (the replacement wallet to that mentioned above) - Expe...

353 Days Until Christmas...

...but only one until my birthday. I'm going to be turning 27 in just under 9 hours. It's a relatively cool age to be and puts me in such esteemed company as Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse. The majority of the day will be spent sat in my mum and dad's house, thinking about  anything other than  looking for a new job. I might even crack open the Scholl Pedicure Foot Spa, including 9 piece nail care set, that I was bought as part of my leaving gift two weeks ago from my first job after university. If my next blog post isn't a review of said foot spa, then my  mum  probably stopped me from using it for fear of getting water on the carpet. Until recently I'd been an Account Manager for the digital creative agency  Nonsense , based in London. After 3 years in various roles at the company, the foot spa came about because I said I wanted one for Christmas to my brother, also at Nonsense, and I think our offic...
