4-1

a weekend of beautiful sunshine and beautiful football on tv. cycled to the gym on both days and it was lovely to be out although a little dangerous. i ran into someone on my bike after some guy just ran out across the street in front of me. i managed to swerve and fortunately for him, i only clipped his foot. he scurried away apologising for not seeing me. don't apologise mate. i am doing 20mph and weigh 85kg and am riding a metal bike. if i was to run into you, you would come off worse.
had a couple of other near misses again as well. people seem to go blind when its sunny.

i also watched some of the glastonbury music festival over the weekend. gorillaz were rubbish on friday night. 2 hours of self induglent horse shit by damon albarn and his musician mates. get your head out of your arse you mockney twat.
also watched the dead weather were good, muse were boring, stevie wonder was ok, and groove armada were really very good and i don't really like dance music, but they had the place jumping.

i also watched england v germany and england got murdered 4-1. they were awful all the way through the tournament and so it was not surprise. what was a surprise was that not only were some of the players off form, but they were just simply unfit. its one thing for people to have more talent, but to be so outclassed physically is quite something. gareth barry got humiliated for the 4th goal. in a 40 metre sprint he had a 10 metre head start and yet finished 10 metres behind at the end. i burst out laughing when it happend. still, argentina are still in it, and i don't own an english shirt but i do own 2 argentina shirts, so draw your own conclusions.

its back to work today. it was planned for me to sit with another team on another floor this week, to see what they do but because my department is such a shambles, there was no one to take me up there to be introduced so i decided to go up there on my own and see them. its a bit awkward being a newbie and introducing yourself to people who have no idea who you are. "hello, i am in the datacenter team, i am here to sit with you guys this week, nice to meet you whatever your name is and what is it you do again?".

thanks for putting the newbie in a shit situation where i have to introduce myself around the company. what a slick operation. still, no bother. we shall persevere with it, whilst at the same time plotting an escape.

today i have mostly been listening to angels and airwaves - young london.
