Spit and polish. Suit and boots. So begins a new project where I hope, as ever, that I’m not hopelessly out of my depth. #
Total terminology meltdown. At least I’m only slightly overdressed. #
It took a mere hour and a half before death as a project consequence was discussed. #

It’s Monday already and it’s my last day at EMI. I’m going to need some coffee. And should I bring cakes? #
I’m being made to give up my chilli plant! Booo! Weeks of loving care, only to have to relinquish the fruits of my labour! #
No pub lunch for me today. It’s all ending with more of a whimper than a bang. #
Going to the pub anyway, work be damned. #
Amazon voucher leaving gift FTW! #

I may have been drinking. A lot. But still alive and made it into the office! Roll on the next leaving do! #

WTF?!? A schoolgirl in fancy dress as… A schoolgirl? How very post-modern. #
Starting to wonder if I use too many ellipses… #
Test tweet from work mobile. #
Just in case my iPhone ever loses power before my Power Monkey arrives. #
Just got a stunning project appraisal, which I’m thrilled about. Bring on the beer! #
Still in office, missing the beginning of my own leaving do! #
Good crowd for leaving drinks. Am destroying spiced rum and cokes like a demon. #
I fear my grandiloquence was derided. Scabrous pustules, all. #

Found the following RT in my Favourites and totally being worked into my Stalin assignment! #
RT @jessnevins: Circus clowns ordered [by Stalin] to shed their “bourgeois decadence” and “cosmopolitan internationalism.” #
I wouldn’t normally link to the Telegraph, but… http://tinyurl.com/ctaq76 # streetview #
RT @sparkletone: http://tinyurl.com/d93m52 Hilarious short film. #
Forget a one hour powercut, what happens when the whole electrical infrastructure gets friend in 2012? http://tinyurl.com/cycvmo #
Friend? No! Solar storms are not your friend! I meant ‘fried’ of course. #
I think it’d make a great novel though, ala ‘World War Z’ just, you know, without zombies. #
Which suddenly seems to inherently fail. Everything is better with zombies. #

I can feel my brain fizzing into life once more. Feed me brain juice, now! #
Now, what do I focus on? The myth of Stalin or the perils of the DNABoost technology? Combining both may be classed thoughtcrime. #
Foiled by my nemesis, that villain who goes by the name ‘Actually having to do some work’. I shake my fist at you with much cursing! #
Powercuts are not my friend, they are the enemy. Those responsible must be hunted down and made to answer for their negligence. #
And because misery loves company, all I can do until power is restored is tweet. I’m sorry. #
This is what the electricity-free apocalypse will look like. IT people wandering aimlessly, wondering how long their Blackberries will last. #
How long before we turn feral, feasting on the flesh of the slowest moving of the tribe… Java programmers. #
I knew I should have bought a Power Monkey. No, not you @ vinniegibbons ! #
Power has been restored, if only to end my incessant twittering. #
