Have begun my winding process ready for Saturday's holiday and the FA Cup Final. It still seems odd that as the West Ham supporters travel West I'll be travelling West and South. I've passed instructions to my colleagues on what needs to be done while I'm away and how they need to do it.
I'm looking forward to tonight. A little bit of football as Middlesborough play Seville in the UEFA Cup Final. Not sure whether to be patriotic and support 'boro or not. I'm not really that bothered who wins really but would like to see the English do well.
What I'm really looking forward to is the final of The Apprentice. I'm really rooting for The Badger, the lesbian from Birmingham, to win. Not only do I think that she's the better candidate but she's also the one who comes over best. She has her goal and she wants to get there. Michelle is fine, she's brought herself up from low beginnings but I can't understand why she wants it. She seems successful enough already, supposedly earning more than she'd get from Alan Sugar. Maybe she hopes that she'd make better contacts.
I do love the way that they all start stabbing each other when it comes down to the decision on firing the contestants. Then you start seeing humanity as it really is: dirty, self protecting, cheating, lying and rude. There is no place in this for the nice guys; they're usually trampled in the rush.
Yet the one thing you always feel is a sense of despair that a company would select new recruits in this way. Ok they had 14,000 applicants to pick from but were these 14 really the pick of the crop?
