You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

All to tell me my heart is just fine

It's nice to have a certificate that says you have a good heart, though we already knew that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woohoo, chaos at work. This is definitely the best thing that ever happened to me since I got my sarcasm module removed.

Is there a worse time for a training session than the morning after a three-day weekend? Even without my freaking fraudulent orders to deal with.

I'm liable to kill and eat the next person who comes to me with an issue for one of my accounts.

I came in this morning to an urgent problem that they had to stop a printing press in China for. Turns out we'd used an archived fine art image file that the previous printer had somehow inserted a glitch in, which was not apparent in PDF proofs sized for computer monitors but shows up in the 14x20 printed image. Ah crappy former printer, the gift that keeps on giving years later.

Jets are taking off and landing on the airstrip nearby. It's loud.

Go you! You can do it! Alternatively, can I interest you in one of our many fine alibi services?

I think I have it under control for now. Perhaps -t would be interested in your "Why, I never! I'm not a cannibal!" alibi services?

Not needed yet. So far all my urgent problems have been delivered via non-nutritious email.

So now I have an interview with the UK National Archives on the day before my birthday. Why do I do this to myself?

I think the email was a standard form one and was intended for an in-person interview. I have to see if they can do a skype interview.
