… and the answer to last nights major news item is:
The legend [admittedly a legend no one actually wants or care about, except maybe Birkenstock and even they’re probably happy I’ve temporarily stopped ruining their reputation … which is especially tough to take given they’re the preferred choice of footwear for German tourists. Who wear them in socks] is over.
My feet feel cramped and strangely cold … despite the fact I am also wearing socks to work for the first time in 15 years – socks I should point out – that I had to steal from my wife’s cupboard because I haven’t got any.
Yes that’s right, I’m wearing women’s clothing.
TO WORK.
China has broken me … but at least I lasted longer than Google. [Sorry George and Jonathan]
On the brightside, I can walk through the streets of Shanghai without fear of puddles. Or dog shit.
Always a silver lining with me eh …
God, how I hope a warm spell breaks out tomorrow, so I can get out of prison. Foot prison.

Comment by andy@cynic January 19, 2011 @ 9:07 amSo, what have we got here:
One, highly paid, account planner, avoiding being
sullied by stepping in dogshit – no shit, no guarantee. Waxing philosophical.
Isn’t that what they pay you for?
What has our fucking world come to, Jesus Christ, and I used to think he was in control. Not Rob, Jesus.
If you are not stepping in shit, you are not living. It’s how you deal with the removal.

Comment by Ciaran McCabe January 19, 2011 @ 9:31 amI am exposed to enough shit in my working life to not require it in my personal environment Ciaran.
That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.
Comment by Rob January 19, 2011 @ 10:33 amAre you embracing maturity Robert?

Comment by Rob Mortimer January 19, 2011 @ 9:40 pmZOMFG. 15 Years, No Shoes?
Comment by Aditya January 20, 2011 @ 10:43 amIn the defense of shoes, those don’t look like they’re meant to be worn for comfort. Canvas sucks, etc.
Comment by Aditya January 20, 2011 @ 10:44 am[…] I know this city will make me wear shoes at some point – even if it’s [hopefully] for just a couple of days – so I just hope that till then, we can come to some sort of truce where I won’t […]
