Joe Bloggs
Coming to you live from the beautiful North Shelby County Library, I give you My Lunch Break. Yes, rather than take a break from computer class and go eat, I took the unprecedented step of actually skipping a meal to sneak down and do more computery stuff. No, I don't HAVE to do this--I could quit any time. Really.

So, class today is Intermediate Excel, and the only thing that makes it bearable is our instructor, who hails from Jolly Olde. I could just sit there and listen to her talk about foldahs and figgahs and numbahs and dater all the live long day. I love anybody's accent who comes from anywhere in all of Great Britain or Ireland; makes me feel all squishy inside. Put Fiona Ritchie on the radio and I become a big puddle of goo in the floor. Anyway, an interesting little bit of information I picked up is the name "Joe Bloggs" as an equivalent to John Doe (or Joe Schmoe). For some reason, in spite of all my incessant playing of Trivial Pursuit and watching Benny Hill, I never picked up on this. Gosh, I guess there are better places to learn about popular British culture.

Ah well, time now to head back (I've got to learn to type faster!) Last time I took the Intro class, I told the instructor I had jellied eel and Vegemite for lunch. Today I think I'll say I had toad in the hole. Just doing my part to learn about other cultures.
