Lonely Playwrite - sorry 'Sexing It Up'?

Executive - yeah yeah, new title, it's punchy trust me.. anyhow he's think..

Lonely Playwrite - ...and to be honest I don't really think Jim Carey is the kind of actor who could handle this material, I means its not a comedy... you do know that is not a comedy? right?

You've got to love this angry weather, though. I work in a massive open plan office which is lit almost exclusively by fluorescent lights. Yesterday the mains power went down and - for about 3 minutes before the back-up generator kicked in - the whole place was lit purely by a tiny amount of emergency lamps. Everything suddenly gained a warm, shadowy ambience. People fell into an ecstatic silence. There was a type of unity, however transient. It was almost romantic.

I mean, is there anything more comforting than the thought of a constant threat by forces majeures upon the crumby world of work?

Or is there a better sound to wake up to than thunder?
