Day: 22 January 2003

Is it really Wednesday today? I know what I eventually got out of my nice big warm bed this morning (it was one of those times when my body just wanted to lay still), I thought it was Tuesday. I went downstairs and made a cup of tea and picked up the post. There was just my copy of Private Eye magazine – which I thought was odd as it normally came on Wednesdays.

Went to work and it wasn’t until I was leaving and one of my co-workers asked how my first week and a half went did I twig that, yep, it was Wednesday.

Just before I left, my boss told me that they were going to have to change my working hours to fit in with other activities – so that means I get half an hour less sleep than I currently do. Bummer. Of course, I could always go to sleep before 3.30am.

Why did I stay up so late last night? Well, I wasn’t too tired and in that situation I normally just lay on my bed and watch a film or something on my computer – but Christina’s guess on the current “Guess That Movie” was so extremely close that I really thought someone would guess in the next 10 minutes. So I decided to have a bath instead (and my tub takes a while to fill), checked the GTM thread – still no guess, had my bath, came back – still no guess. Finished reading “A Fall Of Moondust” and still no guess. I went to bed thinking “I bet as soon as I fall asleep someone would guess”. I’ve now done a days worth of work and it STILL hasn’t been properly guessed. I’m in shock! Why? Because at the moment all the clues are sitting there and you just need to click on 2 links and you’ll have the choice of two possible movies that match the clues given to the guesses so far. So if you are intelligent, yet don’t recognise the film, you should have a 50/50 chance of guessing correctly.

I may actually have to revise my GTM schedule at this rate – I’ve now got 3 images all ready on stand by (I try and have the next one on standby anyway just in case the live one is guessed in 5 minutes), but the next “scheduled” one is even harder than this one (it contains no humans in the screen shot). I may have to substitute it for the one I did just before bed last night – a reasonably easy one IMHO.
