A digital misfit

I’ve just been sent home from work for the afternoon – they’re having an employees only meeting, and being a subcontractor I don’t get invited to such meetings, and they don’t let subcontractors on site without a permanent member of staff present. Oh well, I’m not complaining, I get to make the best of this net access (I got a DSL modem in my room for the day…they come to take it away tonight, before you lot back home wake up). I do get to go to the buffet meal later…if I can find it.

I couldn’t resist the Peach Anglaise from the vending machine downstairs…which is wrong on so many levels, firstly I’m not sure we do anything particularly notable with peaches, secondly, we’d either call it English Peaches or Peche Anglaise, thirdly they seem to be little peach flavoured cheesecakes wrapped in white chocolate – while this is conceptually interesting the practicality is not so rewarding. Last weeks strawberry cakes worked better, despite being almost unbearably sweet.

  1. i think you’re meant to have the cakes with green tea
    the bitterness of the tea is cushioned by the overly sweet cake i think is the general idea :)
    also there is a bee in my room.a very loud bee.

    • Ah, that might make sense. But I’m not a tea drinker. Hmmm….I fear this might be an interesting year for my diet, I’ll hold a sweepstake on my weight when I return to the UK…?
