FC Barcelona players celebrate after winning the 2009 UEFA Champions League beating Manchester United 2-0 in the final.FC Barcelona trounced Manchester United today in the final of the UEFA football Champions League in Rome, Italy today. While the male population of my office flocked to various television screens across the building, I sat at my desk working. Surprised? I am sure my regulars would remember how anal I was during the World Cup - how I missed meetings, had BT calling in the scores, stayed back late to catch late games, put lives on hold for the Azzurri's road to victory then, and Spain's triumph at the Euros 2 years later. I just don't have that kinda time to follow club football though. I can barely watch cricket these days - though my cricket team plays a pile of shit each time, so why bother? But congrats to the Spanish club - I understand they outplayed Ferguson's kids. Good job.
But when there is football, I seem to always think of BT. We did have some pretty good times before I unearthed the dark side - the asshole side. Now if I could just find a dude with some of those considerate, generous, caring qualities in Grade A genuine form as opposed to acting, then I think I would be content. Does that exist though? Also a dude who would either cook my lunch or buy me lunch cause coming home after slaving over a hot pc everyday, to face the stove is harder and harder. But if I want to know exactly what I am putting in my mouth, while saving money for shoes, purses and cute tops in this global recession, then this is the only way til I can do better.
I know what you mean about facing the stove when you get home - it's the absolute bane of my life too. I only enjoy cooking when I have plenty of time and I haven't worked all day, the rest of the time it's a major chore.
ReplyDeleteYeah - I need a woman who can cook too!
