I hate having to go to the petrol station on my way to work. The reason I can’t stand it so much is because I usually haven’t woken up properly, and there’s no ruder wake-up call than inside a service station store. There’s so many colourful displays and things jumping out at me… it’s far too bright for this time of morning. Not even Ken Done could handle a visual assault like this.

The other day at work:
Team leader (completely surrounded by teetering stacks of paper on her desk): This is a paperless office.

I’m hopelessly addicted to Pokemon Pinball on the Game Boy at the moment which is really quite sad. I don’t even pretend to understand this Pokemon crap but it’s a pretty good little game.
In my younger years I used to be a real video game nerd, I’d go out and buy computer magazines as if they were my oxygen supply. I remember a long, long time ago there was a portable video game system similar to the Game Boy that never really got off the ground, named the Gamate. The Gamate probably failed on the poor choice of name alone… well, would you admit to anyone you were up all night playing with your Gamate?
