I would not get too comfortable today, jonmc. Keep your shoes tied, have several provisional escape routes, and have anything you want to grab and run with close at hand.

Watch out for zombies. A cricket bat (or one of those rounders bats you Seppoes like) might be a useful thing to have handy.

On the other hand, maybe your security person is thinking of retiring.

There's an episode of Next Gen where everyone on board the Enterprise starts disappearing, but Dr. Crusher's the only one who's aware of it; turns out she's caught in a warp bubble from her son's science project, a universe she's thought into existence (she was thinking about all the friends she'd lost and was missing when it formed). Maybe it's something like that...

Watch Kevin closely.

Well, she rarely moves from her desk anyway, so retiring wouldn't be much of a change. I imagine she'd even keep the uniform. (She seems the type who would enjoy wearing it around the house).

I just went out for a cigarette. There's a pink minivan emblazoned with a pink hippo and the legend 'PR Hippo,' parked out front.

The end is nigh.

Is this The PR Hippo you saw?

that's the one. why?

(it's a rabid rampaging pink hippo, isn't it?)

Wow...it's been awhile since I've been called a Seppo.

Seppo = Septic Tank = Yank

Pompeii?

It's your last flickr set, jon.

Make it a good one.
