Well, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, American style. I hope everyone has a wonderful day, and later you are all jealous of the amazing meal I'll be enjoying.

You can live at least 3 weeks on water alone. There was a story in the Metro yesterday about a woman in Paris who accidentally locked herself in her bathroom and despite knocking on the walls at night it was 3 weeks before the police broke in and rescued her.

You to Andrea luv. Hope you and the Family have a nice day!

So Met office have released a severe weather warning for tomorrow and I am really worried I'm going to get stranded so I can't get back to Newcastle. My manager has said to cancel the training session tomorrow, but the region are pissed off with me now. I don't know what to do.

F**k em. No one would put them selves out for you so gotta look out for self.

Stay and enjoy the expenses which I'm sure you're entitled to if stranded.

Write that killer routine stuck in your very own Overlook.

The alternative is Misery and that one's even worse.

Last years snows I got cajoled into going to work. No clients turned up and the bus home got stuck in snow for 4 hours.

I only noticed when I finished the book I had begun reading at the start of my journey.

The journey should take 20 minutes tops.

Then it took me an hour and a half to do the 15 minute walk to my domicile.

At which point I closed the project for the next day. Leaving my boss with the strong impression that if I turned up there it would be with the purpose of burning the place to the ground. So as to warm myself.

Problem is that I only have a hotel paid for for tonight, and if I had to stay any longer I would have to pay for it myself and claim it back (which I can't afford!). I'm sure it will be fine though- even if I'm delayed I'll still be able to get home.

I really bloody am.

I was jealous until I remembered about room service. WHEE.

I am now also jealous of Nat.

Call for a fry up at midnight.

Bleurgh. I think I'll have soup, Confit of duck (consistently the best) and ice cream for afters. And some fizzy pop.

No corporate card?

Can you not get the company to invoice them?

No corporate card I'm not high up enough! I don't have my own expenses account, I have someone to book shit for me, or I can pay and claim it back. I could potentially have the booking company sort something out, but I'm not sure how that would work. They've let me authorise things before.
