Sitting in my new life drinking cider from Middle Farm, am I happy? I think most definitely would be the answer, would I change anything if I could? Well of course I fucking would, nobody’s life is perfect, but on a score of 1 to 10; I would say it’s about an 8 and that must be good. Work most probably will become more interesting as Roland Mr Electronic Design Engineer disappears to have a baby and the rest of our department will be required to fill in for him. I thumb twiddle at work sometimes, I enjoy the design side of things but I work with a different set of tools, I think outside the box, this is how I have proved my worthiness in the engineering spectrum, but I’m needed to help initiate procedures… Procedures! No bugger would understand them, I need a chat with Richard Feynman. I work alone.
Jade has buggered off on holiday with her mate till Friday so I’m gonna be worrying about her, the bastards at Cricklewood Electronics sent me the wrong package of transistor for my amplifier! And to top it all my pasta has just boiled dry!!! If these can be the total of my worries throughout life I will be very lucky, but I doubt it.

“Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common. [No Shit]
When it is transmitted, it does not always cause human influenza; often, [only pig flu] the only sign of infection is the presence of antibodies, detectable only by laboratory tests.[Since when do you have lab tests for common flu?]
When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic (A disease which can be spread from animals to humans) swine flu. [We don’t know the source of every case of flu, do we now]
People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. [No mention of Mexico here]
Only about fifty such transmissions have been recorded since the mid-20th Century, when identification of influenza subtypes became possible. (Eating pork does not pose a risk of infection.) [But snogging a pig?]
Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. [Sounds like a mother of a hangover to me].”
