Going a little bit mad

[cinema guy]

I had a 14 hour shift in projection today. I didn't actually speak to or see a person in the flesh between about 10am and 10.30pm. Sure I could see a bunch of customers through the portholes to the screens. And there was the constant chatter of my walkie-talkie, "Can I have pound coins, please." "Can I have help cleaning screen 3."

So I talked to the hoover. It is called Henry. It has a happy face.

Thanks to holidays and illness, I have several more days like this coming up. I think I will be totally bonkers by the end of it.

okay, 14 hour shift sucks, but not having to deal with anyone? Sweeeeeeeet. That's what I loved most about doing projection. I'd go stretches of an hour+ without seeing another person.

No boss, non of the work-shy kids who I work with downstairs, it was indeed good. But even when I emerged to fill the kettle or go to the toilet, I saw no-one. I didn't get a call on the radio all day either. It was odd to be at work and go for 12 hours without speaking to anyone.

BAH! I wish I had days like that. Henry is better than real people. He won't yell or complain. He'll be nice to have around....until he kill Mrs. Washrag for being dirty...oh so dirty....

Then it's time for another episode of Inspector Fire Extinguisher and his sidekick Chair.

I think I would love those shifts... but would definitely also end up going (more) bonkers

Heck I constantly talk/sing to myself on a 5 minute drive to the store... Any time longer than that on my own and I start to have conversations and arguments!

Best of luck with the lengthy solo shifts! Just remember to ignore Henry when he starts explaining how he can help you can solve aaaaall your problems sooooo eeeeeaasily

And let's go to our correspondent in the field, Ralph Wiggum!

"That's where the leprechaun came out. He told me to burn things!"

Thanks, Ralph!

Note to self: don't listen to the leprechaun.

It doesn't sound too crazy to me.

However if you feel the urge to use the office shredded to make a nice paper grass skirt for him so you can rename him "Henrietta" then please warn us so we can prepare for an Intervention!

I'm half surprised you did not name it Wilson.

Or give us time to grab the camera.

Friday, I've been on this island a lo-o-o-ng time without the companionship of, ah, veemin.

And, I was wondering?

If I gave you enough coconuts?
