Another day, another dollar

After the political success of yesterday, I have come down to the reality of "back to work". Frustrating day in work where I had no real chance to do my proper job because I was "dogsbodying" for every other thing that had to be done around the store. Roll on when we are allowed to recruit more staff and I can get back to doing a real job. I haven't heard the news today so I can't comment - but I suspect that Tony Blair is about to commit a Maggie Thatcher and lose the leadership of his party and the Premiership under a cloud of "you've been here too long and outstayed your usefulness". I don't happen to like "Plastic Blair" but on the other hand there are few in his government who could seriously lead the country. The Heir to the throne ("Prudent" Gordon) does not attract me either. Probably the best leader for the Labour Party would be David Cameron but I don't think he'll be applying. Politicians in general do not grab my interest and the particular ones who will be looking to lead various parties soon are a particularly uninspiring lot. Enough said. Goodnight, sleep well and don't dream too much of a police state.
Later addition: I have just watched a piece on the BBC telling me that we may LOSE OUR LEAP SECONDS!!!!! Oh my! Catastrophe in the making! What the smeg does it matter? To us "normal" people time is time. It is usually measured by how long we have to stay at work. What time is tea, when is that TV programme, what time shall I set the alarm for the morning. The people at Greenwich who are "Guardians of the Absolute Time" are worried that their rule over the Dominion of Time will be eroded by these new upstarts who say the corrective leap seconds are not necessary. The old guard say that if they are no longer counted then eventually midday will happen in the middle of the night and breakfast will be the meal just before sunset. So What? That's none of my concern and will take thousands of years to happen. Smeg off, all you scientists and leave us in peace!
