Careful Dan, Marcus will get jealous

In Rowlands Gill it's not although there were a few snowflakes falling while I was driving through Sunniside this morning.

Just gritting my teeth, one eye twitching, while I imagine him having the time of his life working with citaro5284....

He is not taking GCSE ICT... He won't get quite as excited about spreadsheets as I do!

Don't think ICT is my scene...maybe I'll end up somewhere different in the building to you guys.

Its not my scene either...haha!

I am not keen on hardware and networks if I am honest, I like the software side and how the programmes work.

Was snowing heavy in Ashington, stopped now, wet ground so didn't lie.

I want snow in Sunderland =(

What sort of spreadsheets (how complicated)? I can do the easiest ones but when you start introducing the harder formulae its like hitting a brick wall head first.

Haha, i wish! 

Bet we get 3 days of sun in the summer haha!

Formulae complicated enough to make you scratch your head!
=IF(D15=0,"%",D15/D$10)
=IF('REPORT xx Hr'!E13>0,'REPORT xx Hr'!E13/'REPORT xx Hr'!E81,0)

Today I heard people saying that it is going to be 21 degrees at Easter!

Not sure if I want it to be that hot or not, although it depends what I'm doing Easter weekend - all I know so far is what I'm doing on Easter Sunday.

That's the easy stuff that, man.  Second line just looks more complicated because of the references to another sheet.

I've got no chance, are there any easier jobs available? I'd be great at the customer service area answering facebook queries although if the same people keep complaining about a certain service (such as the 93/94) at rush hour every single day it would be hard for me to keep my anger in...most of the time i just feel like saying 'you try running a bus company' and seeing their response...

I reckon I would be a great CS rep...

Customer: 'Hi, what time is the next 46 to Consett? Thanks.'
Me: F***ing work it out for yourself we aren't a goddamn helpline! We have hundreds probably thousands of paper timetables created for that specific service, people go on about f***ing saving trees and you asked a dum-dum question like this?? What has happened to humanity...

Customer: 'Why is the X9 always late?'
Me: No idea.

I don't think I could handle it, like Robert said.
Then again...I may be better in the office with Dan and citaro5284.

Rekorderlig Mango & Raspberry cider... it's rather nice!

That's what I will do if I ran a bus company's account.

Customer: What time is the next X66?
Me: Are you taking the piss?

OAP: Why does the 35 not stop at stand E anymore, I always seem to hold my hand out but it goes straight past. 
Me: It's been like that since October 2013. Try walking to Sports Direct.

Customer from Ashington: What's the difference between the 35 and the 35A. Do they still go to Morpeth?
Me: For fuck sake, it clearly states in the timetable and on buses "every 15 minutes" Morpeth | Ashington. Read the front of the bloody things.

Getting to spend all day with my partner on Wednesday.

Good day planned anyhow I had a nice day in the sun looking around the shops looking for pokemon stuff (I love that program and the games) despite I had that dreadful 524 on my 27X but other than that it was good 

One thing made me laugh today, on the 202, this woman and her child were getting off the bus at the same stop, the kid went to press the bell, I beat him to it and the kid was not too pleased that I stole his chance to ring the bell...Think he was [LOUDLY CRYING FACE] as he was getting off...

Friday tomorrow.

Yay.

As I work Tuesday to Saturday, my Friday is akin to your Thursday.

Was getting a bit p***ed off about the closure of Front Street in Chester-le-Street - and now everything is fine, I get a free shuttle minibus going past my local stop on the Durham-Newcastle stretch.

Only problem is, I will then have to alight at Chester Moor if heading to Durham, and then *officially* start off my reviews!....but I will still include the free shuttle!

Not a problem if heading into Chester-le-Street.
