Long. Just arrived in Kuala Lumpur, no sleep on the plane and a full day meeting and dinner starts now. Yay! Fly to Sydney tomorrow night.

It's amazing what you can get away with if you act like you're in the right with some front. I bet your desk is stacked full of shit, looked stressed but in reality its pointless paperwork from 2010.

The last job I worked for a company I had a contract for 40 hours a week, Mon-Fri,. I arrived at 8.30 every morning, had a hours lunch and then left at 4.30. I did this every night saying goodbye to everyone casually strolling out the door like it was totally normal and no one even noticed for 3 years.

It's all about confidence and image. I can imagine you would pull it off piece of piss.

Seinfeld taught me all I need to know about looking busy at work

Fairly crap. My work van broke down, twice. In this weather! When I got in looked like it would be a light day, and I thought I'd get done before the worst of the snow. Turns out I finished an hour late. :(

I thought your job was walking the streets?

I've been awake for 32 hours.

That's hard to do, unless you're on some kind of drugs, which I don't think you are btw! I once did a 24 hour shift and had to drive back from Swindon. It was the best feeling ever when I got home and got into bed.

I think you need to share it with your fellow FTers so we can judge it too! :D

Ordered some more Ralph Lauren after my polo arrived - really impressed, very good quality

Meanwhile, in pauperland, I'm debating whether to buy some more work trousers from Primark or Tesco.

I have lots of "cheap" brand clothing honestly, but I think its not bad to occasionally spend more for quality.

I used to hate those sweaters, always made my neck itch. :ph34r:

Not really. Anatomically we reached our modern form 200,000 years ago, but reaching modern behaviour took a while longer. We've changed a fair bit since the first AMH's existed, just not enough to be considered a new species.

Oh yes, I know all about variation and mutation, but that's not evolution (not in the meaning of the word that people like Dawkins suggest anyway). Not a believer in the 'one cell developed into everything' baloney theory.

It's alright saying that a fish 'evolved' a backbone, and all that baloney, but what they seem to forget to mention is that a backbone is a protective casing for a spinal cord, which also requires major organs to 'evolve' at the same time, in two different sexes of the same species at the same time. It's just not happening I'm afraid.

It is evolution - evolution is simply the change in inherited characteristics of biological organisms over the generations. Evolution is a constant process, it's always happening. Speciation however...

Baloney and theory aren't exactly compatible - a theory is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly confirmed through independent experiment, it's reached the highest level of validity possible in science. Suffice to say if you deny it on that basis, you're scientifically illiterate.

Not really - the backbone referring to Veterbrata, as opposed to the other subphylums - Tunicata & Cephalochordata (and actually most of the Kingdom Metazoa) and members of those subphylum we've looked at have the beginnings of livers and kidneys, it's not at all far fetched to suggest they developed into the full-blown organs in some invertebrates and advanced on to the splitting of Chordata into Veterbrata and Tunicata/Cephalochordata.

Out of interest though, if you don't believe the "one cell to everything" idea, what do you believe?
