Today is the birth of the first dreadlock. Although my head it covered in them, very few are real dreads, except today the first one was born. This means I took the band off him because he is matted and tight. What a great day. I decided to name him Jimanabob. I shall closely monitor his progression over the next few days and see if he can live without his band. A few others are following the shining example of Jimanabob, however most are still like pony tails with bands at the roots. Dreads at the start are one big nightmare, they look naff, lots of loose hair and allot of icthes. However in around 3-8 months they turn into dreads like Jimanabob. Mine are just over one month old so im pleased so far.
Today I handed in my resignation at work. No wait, I was going to be realised im lazy so I didnt. However I must do it sometime this week or they wont let me leave, ever. I talked to my manager about it (so I could avoid taking calls) and we had a great half-hour convo about back in the 60's when he was at uni. He managed to flood the basement with foam from what was quite possibly the first washing machine known to man. Apparently there were 2 guys trying to play table tennis at the time. I could just imagine two guys up to their waste in foam still playing. I think thats some sort of gay thing. Best forget that. Besides im sure he was swept away with the drug crazed culture of the 60's.
Another pressing issue I was meaning to bring up to him and possibly his line manager was something that was burning a hole in the back of my mind for several weeks. I first came accross the issue while playing snooker with Ted. I thought 'My god, thats a question to ask my line manager' The question is 'what would Gizmo be like as a gremlin ?. I will take another half an hour off the phones Saturday and ask him, maybe even spam all@ntl.com.
People are always saying to me 'Seb, what are you doing in my garden ?'
I decided 1st September. I have to ring NTL today and attempt to cancel my contract. That will be one big nightmare.
