I woke at 4.30am this
morning. Not bad really. I got up, and on glancing at my phone I saw
that I had a text message from an unknown number. Received at half
past midnight it asked if I was awake. I was glad I'd slept through
that. If it had woken me I would never have got off to sleep again.
I got up and my dog
helped me eat my toast as I watched the Family Guy version of Star
Wars. This is something I'd heard so much about. Regarded as a modern
classic, I felt it was something of a disappointment. Mind you things
which are hyped up are often a disappointment. Added to which Star
Wars is lame anyway.
Off to work. It took me a
little while to scrape the ice from the car this morning; it was
minus four degrees as I drove off. As I drove my piss boiled as I
listened to the news. the Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced
that I cannot
claim my old age pension until I am sixty eight. That is ages
away. I just hope that the work pension will stump up on time. I
can't work for another eighteen years.
Whilst at work I had a
text message. It looked to be from "Daddies Little Angel TM",
but closer scrutiny revealed it wasn't. It was from her phone though.
She'd dropped it on the bus and another university student had found
it and texted me to see if I knew whose phone it was. I drove up to
the university to collect the phone, and just as I was parking my
phone rang. This time it was "Daddies Little Angel TM"
who had been reunited with her phone. I'd told the finder whose phone
it was and he'dmanaged to trace her.
She seemed ecstatic. I
was pleased she had her phone back; I just wish I hadn't had a wasted
journey up to the university.
Mind you this little
episode has again proved that there are good people in the world.
Normally one would expect a missing phone never to come to light
again. I've actually got software on my phone so that I can disable
the thing remotely should it get stolen. But this phone was found and
the finder made an effort to return it to its rightful owner.
There are good people in
this world.
