Round up of stuff

  Been trying to do something at work today so not blogged yet. I'm trying to impress on the new management structure that is coming up how incredibly useful I am and showing initiative and coming up with innovative solutions blah blah blah. Doubt anybody wants to hear about it but whatever this is where I write stuff down and that is what I'm doing. It should lead to good things like money, promotion etc.

  Also feeling the need to have a serious veg out and play games session. Only dabbled here and there recently and I don't know if it is withdrawal or just I need to turn my mind off for a bit but I'm getting that urge again.

  Another thought, my wife retweeted something about choosing one woman or another yesterday. The choice was obvious but made it clear that even though it was the right choice the woman shown was lessened significantly by naff tattoos. Small ones can be good but large asymmetrical ones just look bad and over time will look downright crap. Especially when they cover large parts of your body which is going to change shape over time. No thank you.

  Then we come to last nights presidential debate. I think Obama was happy to just let Romney go away with it and make it obvious how much he lies and doesn't even have a clue about the real world. Then again I think for a lot of people they have already made up their mind about who they are going to vote for so these debates (if you can call them that) seem very pointless. Just hope that enough of the states go the right way and get enough electoral college votes for Obama.

  In other news I almost saw a bank robbery the other day. Driving up to a local strip mall to get some food it was surrounded by about 10 police cars. Apparently literally a couple of minutes before I got there the bank at one corner of the mall had been robbed. No money was taken but the police were taking no chances. Weird to see it in person although people were just driving by as if nothing was really happening. Woo, brush with criminal activity.

  What else is there? Driving to work this morning I was amazed at how well the car has turned out. I'm getting close to 264000 miles now. That is a staggeringly large number to me. Back in the UK when I drove over 12000 miles in a year it was a lot. The fact that the car is still going with only a couple of minor rattles is great. Pretty good value for money despite the cost up front I think.

  Now off to do a bit more work and keep looking for somewhere to move. Maybe play a quick game no my phone to relax my brain.
