....and what's new in my inbox?....more laughter....having just seen a gchq number upon MSN - something about a code-breaking-challenge....i was reminded of the time that 'hg' aka oscar had encouraged me to break their 'christmas code'....which i then did in record time...a linguistic one - not mathematical....see previous notes upon scarlett showing me the 'situation' at GCHQ at the time, so many years ago - now....'ian' the information analyst - was doing all of the work and for only £15,000 whilst a whole raft of 'managers' sat in a boardroom...picking through his ideas/brainwaves/research...to then pass it off as their own work....upon salaries of between £100-200,000 (with only business diplomas as their main qualifications for the job)....oh and one of them had been that 'slow-drip' number....mcdonald was then to nickname him 'just that'....lol.....anyway, scarlett was to take me on a tour of GCHQ....to tell me that i might find 'information analyst' a more interesting job than mathematician, after showing me ian's workplace and 'management team'....he also showed me the mathematicians' floor....where they all sat, with nothing to do except check the 'ticker-tape' let us say...i.e. the photocopier, in case it jammed...and that was because apparently all of the algorithms worked...and so they had nothing to do except drink coffee and smoke....oh and one of them then had a heart-attack, from doing 'just that'....another resigned, through pure tedium/boredom and got herself a job outside of BI....apparently 'never happier' as a consequence....and what else, dazzlenation?...well, i would guess that the algorithms don't work, anymore....can you guess 'why'?....see previous notes upon the ill stealing all of my work...carefully placed where i knew that they would find it....espionage, is a hazard-of-the-job, you understand....and so of course, one has to take counter-measures....which is what i used to do at the CIA lab...anyway, lisa/younger/marr/webb et al....all 'had a go'....at passing off my work as their own and getting paid handsomely for it...."by the royals" replies BI online....nota bene...nothing that i 'left out' for them - was any good, needless to say...anyway, now we have 'hg' aka oscar making jokes....and so i shall reply in kind....having been covertly warned that oscar 'n' his sick and stupid gang...had been hoping to rope me into a 'zoom' meeting with the idea in mind of attempting to section me, in order to 'steal the maths' again....and so this is all rather 'unfunny' dear reader....although i haven't lost my sense of humour yet....exposing them all for it, puts a smile upon my face, every time....that old schadenfreude effect.....additionally, 'slow-drip' had put together a super-smart package of lookalikes for bobby's mob...cost him the earth, apparently, in an effort to prove that they are all etc etc....another of 'ian's ideas?....not that 'clever' eh?....oh look - how 'incongruous' is that 'inside no.9' email heading preceding.....?...i mean, to say - nothing in my life is a bit 'no. 9' nowadays, is it?...more laughter....go figure:
