28/07/05 Coming At Ya ; The Pereira-Hinds

Robert & Simone and daughters Harper and Alice have arrived to stay for a couple of days after driving up from t'Big Smoke.
We took wine and had a rather nice veggie curry from Eastern Spice in Canonmills. Very good. I recommend it.
Watched "Extras". I like it but it's missing a foil like the Gareth character in The Office.
I've been finding this working lark quite tiring. I don't know how people manage to do it all the time. It just seems very presumptious of employers to expect you to be there for such a long time every day. Whose idea was this?
Couldn't they just print off enough money to give the people as much as they needed without this tedious ritual of having to "work" for it?
I suppose some people would have to work in the money printing factory, but that could be done on a rotational basis, whereby those of working age could commit to work "one working day" every 5 years within the factory, thus ensuring the continuing supply of money. (a fairly relaxed form on National Service)
Then we could all play golf, laze about in the sun, become addicted to online gambling and write self-indulgent diaries on the Internet, which we could all read and make hilarious comments on, in a way similarly to the anonymous troll (or so he thinks! ha ha ) "Urban Fox"...
Of course, the forces that preserve the Capitalist system would never allow such a radical and groundbreaking departure from the current modus operandum.
Ah well a man can dream....
