Fix up, Look sharp!
For some reason, that phrase has been in my head all day. I haven’t even heard the Dizzee Rascal song it stems from recently either. It’s driving me nuts.
I’ve just entered the Twilight Zone
There I am, having a conversation with someone on IRC about them knowing someone called Andy who works in IT in a high school, then I mention that I’m one, and I know three others and one in IT at a university: [18:12] deKay: *another* Andy that works in a local high school?[18:12] deKay: Preposterous[18:12] rachel|laptop: yes, my friend andy that works as an IT tech in the local high school, freaky isn’t it?[18:12] rachel|laptop: almost beyond belief[18:12] deKay: 🙂[18:12] …
