So excited I changed my icon

I MIGHT GET TO DRIVE A STEAMROLLER.

They are tarmacing the road outside our office, and I saw that they had a roller, so I went upstairs to Nawaz to get him to help me, and he has charmed the engineer and the county official supervising the engineer, so next time they're using the roller I need to go out, find Jimi and GET MYSELF ON THE ROLLER. I won't be able to crush stuff with the roller, which was my actual absolute dream, but it's a perfectly good step even if not

I HOPE THIS WORKS. I HOPE IT VERY HARD.

I nearly got to sledgehammer some walls in December but then I got fakevacuated before they started work on the office. I am so very very excited about this possibility, as is our intern who wants to take photos of me, and finally there is an upside to being in a country with little to no health and safety awareness!!!

I AM CLARE, ASPIRING CRUSHER OF WORLDS.

OH MY GOD THAT IS MAGNIFICENT.

PS even if this happens I still hate Nawaz.

Well OBV.

And still even though he called me this evening to tell me they were removing the tiles from outside the office and that I could be the person who smashes them with a hammer!

EVEN THOUGH. He is a terrible man and no amount of destruction enabling can take that away.

This requires awesome pictures!

I have already primed our intern to be ready with her camera. In fact the roller came while I was out this morning and she rushed to find me, but we are confident it will come back.

Man, I aspire to be even one percent as awesome as that woman.

Except cartoon characters, by flattening them, because they'll immediately spring back to life.

What, no-one? Boo.

I am hoping very, very hard for you!

(It will be just like in The Thuggery Affair.)

Edited to use Pomona icon. Pomona would totally be there on the roller with you.

Great Pomona icon.

The Thuggery Affair may have led me to believe it would be more exciting to drive a roller than is actually the case.

If you imagine some of the shit men in front of the roller, and them leaping out of the way and getting stuck in bushes and their favourite toys being crushed, this will probably add to the excitement,

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA etc.

[identity profile] slemslempike.livejournal.com 2015-02-25 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
INDEED!!!!

RIGHT???

That is fantastic! I await your report back with much excitement.

It is still not definite - the roller made its first pass while I was out of the office today, but it still has other layers to go!

This post has cheered me up no end this afternoon! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you :)

Thank you! I have high hopes but am trying not to count on it.
