Bored? Using Microsoft Word? Then here’s a game you can try. I call it ‘spider’.
First, highlight a random word in your document. Right-click on it and choose Synonyms > Thesaurus.
You then need to click on the synonyms in the right hand panel, and click the ‘look up’ button. Repeat this until you find the word ‘spider’.
I managed to get from ‘acceptable’ to ‘organism’ before I eventually gave up, organism being quite spiderish.
Have fun.
Update: It seems that ‘spider’ isn’t, ahem, in the Word thesaurus. I would like, therefore to rename the game to ‘organism’.
Hurray! I won!

Dammit! The bare-faced cuntiness of it all! It has now been proven beyond doubt that the woman who is was being paid by us to take the dog out at lunchtimes while we’re at work has in fact, not been bothering to do any such thing. She has, in fact, only been showing up on Fridays to collect the money we’ve left for her like the mugs she took us for.
Needless to say, her ‘help’ is no longer required. I can’t get over the fact that people can be such bastards. If nothing else, it’s cruelty to animals leaving a dog for so long without a piss. I bet she just sat at home counting her dosh laughing at the mugs across the street. Evil bitch.
So dog is now in the temporary care of my folks until we can sort out another solution. I hate to say it, but we don’t have any solutions to choose from. Local kennels don’t have dog-sitting services, and any dog walkers who are within an acceptable distance are fucking expensive. It’s gonna have to be a kennel in the back garden, which isn’t a very good solution. Either that or we admit that we cannot keep her. Which is a terrible solution too.
I still can’t believe someone would do that! I’m too fucking trusting of strangers, that’s my problem.
