3,900 feet
May. 3rd, 2010 03:20 pmWhat an exciting day yesterday was! I've been counting sleeps, and finally it arrived: the government released a 1,000-page review into the tax system. On a Sunday, because you really need a weekend to savour the subtle pleasures of changes to fringe benefits tax.
An ad in the newspaper: a Rolex watch that will work underwater to a depth of 3,900 feet as it can withstand pressure 'that would crush a sub.' So if you happen to find yourself 3,900 feet underwater, you'll be dead, but your watch will be a working souvenir for your bereaved relatives. So that's... nice?
A woman walked past my window this afternoon (I love having a window in my office, I really do. And high up, so I can see passers-by but they can't see me.), wearing a turquoise velour suit. It looked like a tailored suit, with a two-button jacket and slightly flared pants, but when she turned around I realised it was a tracksuit. A tailored turquoise velour dress tracksuit. So that's a thing. Not necessarily a thing I want, but a thing nonetheless.
Also, today I heard tell of a man called Zeus McCoy.
