finally [30 november 2002]

saw it

hehe [30 november 2002]

‘none of us is as dumb as all of us’

‘always remember you are unique. just like everybody else’

there’s more!!

puh!! [30 november 2002]

wakes up at 7.13

knot back

what’s with waking up after 3 hours of sleep following all that boogeying..?

booooogey!! [29 november 2002]

goes to work-christmas-boogey with knot in tummy

not half bad!

singing christmas carols seems a bit off this early…

good eatings

the mouse that siggimus suspected was in his package turns out to be a cat!!

soon after named lucifer rather than beelzebub

initiation ceremony was short & relatively painless to those concerned. this year’s freshmen got off easy *has nightmares thinking of his own*

retarded dj wants everyone to participate in inane & silly dance games, most of which involve accordion polka interspersed with ‘proper music’

dey has macallan at the bar, so it ain’t all bad…

den after a while, a part of the gang takes off for nasa, although they end up at thorvaldsenbar, where siggimus dances his wee socks off with heiðdís & m

mmmm 🙂

job offer reiterated [29 november 2002]

strutting home, mobile rings again

‘hello, is this siggimus again?’

‘ya again!!’

‘did siggimus ponder yet?’

‘tell siggimus more!’

hmm, siggimus would have to go to tampere for 6-12 months & do some software testing, real important stuff:
-testing stuff
-meetings
-hunting for bugs
-reporting
-suggesting improvements
-adhoc testing look it up!

‘hmmmm

let siggimus ponder some more, ok?’

‘sure thing, siggimus!’

tampere, eh?

job offer!! [29 november 2002]

mobile rings while at work

‘hello, is this siggimus?’

‘ya!!’

‘siggimus wanna come work for me in finland?’

turns out this dude works for a humongous recruiting agency in london & somehow stumbled across web siggimus & found da cv promising (d’uh!)

‘hmm, lemme ponder a while, why don’tya?’

‘sure thing, siggimus! as you wish!’

mmmmm… finland 🙂

victory! [28 november 2002]

it takes a wee bit of coercing & bullying & some creative rulemaking at the hands of one ept, but the old boys manage to conquer the chickens

eeeeeeeeeeek!!! [28 november 2002]

turns out it’s the cops!! cf. 23 november 2002

da cops have taken to keeping tabs on siggimus

under surveillance, sorta

As the Chinese proverb puts it, “Your speech should be better than silence, if not, be silent.”

da man is on to siggimus!

siggimus’ gotta watch his fingers as they nimbly scuttle across the keyboard now :/

cave!! [26 november 2002]

manages in second attempt to procure much wanted tickets to see the king himself!!

the world truly is a beautiful place today

🙂

shocks [25 november 2002]

bjössi gaga by curing a hickup by the one failsafe remedy

intrigued?

contact siggimus for details 😉

ugh :/ [25 november 2002]

bjössi gaga calls at 17.08

wants to drop in

hmmm

this in itself is ok, but siggimus’ worries are later confirmed when bjössi asks if it’s ok he brings a bit of beer…

ugh :/

hah!!! [25 november 2002]

óli palli sends siggimus a mail, scolding him for not picking up his prize & demanding an address

siggimus, of course obliges the king & promises to wait out by the imaginary mailbox until the little surprise arrives

weeeeee!!!

hmmm? [23 november 2002]

siggimus wonders

why is it that web siggimus is being visited time & again from the servers of the ministry of justice?

oddly enough, these people all seem to come through an msn.com search for ‘siggimus’

is this turning into siggimus’ biggest fanclub?

hmmm? are you a member?

in the middle of the night, even!

dis does not compute

bond, james bond [22 november 2002]

doesn’t go to a gala premiere of that latest bond flick

having to endure all the ‘famous’ people we have scared siggimus off

well, having to endure that lot & having to rent a tux…

reading group [21 november 2002]

since he’s skipping football, siggimus organizes a meeting in the reading group

mmmmmmm! talk about scrumptious!!

one could discuss that one forever 😀

& it turns out, dey is making it into a film!!

who da fuck is sandy johnson?

foul treatment [21 november 2002]

unavailable for football, seeing as siggimus’ foot is extremely swollen & blue

all of this is due to the treatment of siggimus at the hands of a new colleague, henceforth known as ‘the executioner’ (or the tent :D)

surprisingly enough, the executioner is a lawyer

anyone notice a pattern here?

in fact the similarities don’t end there!! not only is this dude a lawyer, but he’s also in charge of dealing with the serious debtors

lesson learnt: beware of lawyers who have made a career out of parting you & your money

erm… doesn’t that cover most of them..?

buckley [17 november 2002]

too busy to celebrate :/

andri returned [17 november 2002]

having watched that flick again & ate some more pizza, andri is returned to his parts

sleepover [16 november 2002]

andri calls & asks if he can come over & stay for the night

softhearted little siggimus can’t say no to the little rat, so he comes on over

they rents one & buys pizza & stays up ’till the wee hours

siggimus decreed the best uncle in creation

zzz [16 november 2002]

finally gets around to replacing the ole mattress, whose springs have been poking him hither & thither & bruising him all over & wrecking his back

buys an astronaut’s mattress for millions, the type that leaves a hole after siggimus gets up 😀

them millions better have been spent on a miracle cure that fixes the crappy siggimus back in a few days…

football, cont’d [16 november 2002]

foot turns purple 😐

many small things [15 november 2002]

invite siggimus & other marketing gurus from work to celebrate moving to a new place

quite the shindig

a number of supposedly famous artists get the dancing going

siggimus & svandís apparently smother all hope of getting a raise in the near future by not participating in the conga snake

afterwards, all go to that thorvalden bar thing with 3 hot chicks from a bank

football [14 november 2002]

football goes a bit sour after siggimus allegedly roughs up an opponent, a brand new colleague/part-namesake

part-namesake not too happy & his foot encounters the siggimus foot in a rough manner

in an unsurprisingly heroic manner, siggimus stays on & keeps his team afloat, leading them to a glorious 10-0 victory

festen [9 november 2002]

finally goes to the theatre!!

man!!

been way too long

meets up at b’s brand new crib (congrats! it’s great) for a soup & some wine before trotting down laugavegur to þjóðleikhúsið for to see a play (duh)

the play was a stage adaption of a flick

the movie was impressive & powerful

but this, wow!

siggimus was close to tears at times 😐

bowling [8 november 2002]

goes bowling with work

sets his goal high: managing what he barely missed last time: finishing last

fails aboninably! finishes 13th out of 17 dudes & that’s not counting the chicks :/

even wins the second round on his lane

this will not do, siggimus!!

tsk! tsk!!

den off to karaoke-crooning pub ölver, where he finds olikr & steinunn stef & sigga who are der crooning with fréttablaðið. turns out ólikr had just been on a panel selecting the least bad crooner & made a few enemies in the process. good thing he’s parted ways with dat lot & joined siggimus’ profession instead of that journalism stuff

anyhooo, boogey on! party hearty!!

great & beautiful company, great whiskey

what else can a siggimus ask?

b-day [7 november 2002]

goes right from work to dad’s for a wee cake-party to celebrate his 77th, skipping football & missing the chance to be #1

ill [6 november 2002]

overworked, siggimus falls a wee bit ill & stays home

actually, was more ill at work yesterday, but sorta needs time to recover

does that

überputerfixer called upon [5 november 2002]

big sis’s friend in puter trouble, so siggimus is called for & asked to fix puter

takes a good deal of time, but siggimus finally manages to purge the old thing of da bugbear virus, but that’s where it stops. not able to install antivirus 🙁

sentences the wreck to the scrapheap

gets paid in pizza

poool [3 november 2002]

jonkurteiz finds himself in the same predicament as siggimus, so he calls up & wants do go out & do just anything

dey agrees dat dis means dey’ll at least have something to say if someone should ask them what they did over da weekend

dey plays a bit of pool

siggimus wins the first two & is mental victor of 4th game too

mmmm [3 november 2002]

buys ( )

mmmmm

wanted [2 november 2002]

life, slightly used, preferably in good condition, but siggimus ain’t too choosy these days…

mmm, finally saw this one

read the book, saw the flick, now all that’s left is to eat the pie

hmmm [1 november 2002]

wanted to see if they were right about how it depicted things

trying to get a peek into bjössi gaga’s head

not sure that was quite what he got…
