About Me

I'm not really a fan of talking about myself, for a start. But I'll try. Despite all my best efforts (a personal statement written in 10 minutes and applications to a whole 3 universities), my dreams of post-graduate study have been dashed and I've been forced to extend my tedious employment at Egg. Whilst in captivity I spend my days complaining about my job, complaining about the other people at my work and complaining about the customers that dare to write to me. Well, all this in between doing the more important job of checking that nothing interesting has happened on the internet in the 2 minutes since I last checked.

Outside of this I try to convince myself that I am actually an interesting person, however as you can tell from the above paragraph this could be a difficult task. There are some things I like though. Music is exciting, but I don't go to as many gigs as I should do anymore. Other things I like are playing tricks, reading pretentious pseudo-intellectual literature and complaining.

Oh, and I eat far too much cheese.
