You have 144 new emails

[hellison]

GROSS!

Yes, back at work, finally. Go me!

Initial sweep of emails reduced the number to 66 'possibly relevant'.
Second sweep reduced it to 39 'probably relevant'.

This could take some time.

Woo, fat bob had a baby? And wtf RAMESES *waves at _unhurt_*

Also. While I was off, someone made off with my mouse. Phoned IT to report this dastardly theft only to be told 'you'll have to email us'. Attempted futiley to remember how to work computer without one. Gave in and made off with Guy At Desk Opposite's mouse, but as he uses a laptop, he doesn't really mind ;p

It's so good to be back.

Hola I mean, sorry.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Half past three?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I don't speak spanish ;p Did it mean what's happening tomorrow or something?

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

it said
hallo, how are you today (well not directly but that's the best equivalent in English)

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Ah, for some reason i thought manana= tomorrow ;)

I am tired mostly, but good. Have battled thro emails and now am going SHOPPING.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Manana means morning AND tomorrrow!

Ooh reports on shopping please!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I got NEW BOOTS (http://www.evans.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/product.cgi?prodid=EPG59) on saturday (on a bit of a whim) and now I have a new knee length black skirt and this (http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/92180703) top to go with!

Nearly bought this dress (http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/95180603) for no reason other than... HOT! but need to see if E's mum (who is a dressmaker) could add straps to it ;p

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

fuuokin gorgeous woman!

Meanwhile, I am drooling over this

[hellison.livejournal.com]

The NEW BOOTS are so very fab. I *may* have been wearing them round the house all last night, just cos ;p

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

har they are POINTY and SEXY and you can POINT at people in them.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Hehe yes. And hopefully not fall over in the process ;p

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

if you do you could go for a lie down on that there sexah bed,

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I could recline upon it, alluringly! It is a very sexah bed indeed ;)

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

ummmmm something really strange just happened....

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

seems to be ok now phew!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

i almost p.s.'d last night's post to say HELLISON ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? so it is nice to see you are.


144? erk. and mouse theft, the scurvy dogs! (you're lucky there's anything left on your desk at all, all things considered)

wtf rameses indeed. (there was a BET: FB made wild claims about naming his firstborn with stupid (middle) names. SG said if it went on the birth certificate he would put £100 into a bank acount for the kid; otherwise FB has to pay SG £100. the birth certificate is to be produced in evidence!)

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I guess the 100 quid can go towards the poor kid's therapy when he grows up ;p

And yes, am ALIVE and feeling much better, finally! Hurrah!
A chunk of the emails were spam, and another large amount were crap internal circular things I never need to read. So out of 144, the actual number I need to do anything about turns out to be about 20. If that ;p

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

Sounds like mine, although I'm still going to use 'I was catching up on mails' as an excuse for not getting back to anyone this morning :P

At least it was only your mouse that went walkies. My chair had gone, so now I've got to fiddle with the one I've pinched to get it comfortable again :P

[jin-shei.livejournal.com]

Make a raid and regain your mouse! Leave a trap!

Glad you are better and alive again!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

It was a really crappy mouse, so am getting a shiny new one from IT. At some point..

And yes, I am very glad about that too! Being ill is not fun.

[being-here.livejournal.com]

*waves*

Sounds like our work. God knows what'll have been nicked when I get back tomorrow!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I'd much rather someone had nicked this enormous bundle of files left for me ;p

[being-here.livejournal.com]

strangely that never happens...

[kanaalzahir.livejournal.com]

Never Ever Leave Your Room. People will leave the most horrible things on your desk, and you have no way to fend them off promptly. Some days I feel that the entire point of my existance is to shuffle thing to Other People's Desks.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

It was VERY sneaky of them to wait til I was off sick to do it. Almost as sneaky as the Mouse Thief, whoever that was...

[tardington.livejournal.com]

Glad you are well! You should get a wireless mouse and take it home ar night!

Lotus Gloats doesn't actually tell you how many E-mails have arrived - the easiest way to count is to tick all of the new ones and then look at the total when you've finished. 132 in my case this morning...
9 were junk. They went. Then I picked out the ones that had been done in my absence and filed them, cleared out the global announcements and moved the rest into "To do". That left another 29 to be deleted, and over a page of actual work. O NOES.
OTOH, people have been glad to see me! (Some haven't, but that's because I wouldn't do what they wanted me to.)
