..but not as we know it.

It's the end of the world today, so here's my run down of this momentous occasion for any extra torrential civilisations to find.  I hope it gets backed up.
08:00  Arrived in the office as usual.  It's a dress down Friday, which means for me I have changed my black pullover for a brighter sort of turquoise.  Some here are in jeans, fancy tops etc.  No sign of the end yet.
08:15  I'm told that it ends at 11:11.  He's prone to making extravagant statements though, so I'm not convinced.
09:00  Had a couple of chocolates from a festive time of Heroes.  These are miniature versions of e.g. Mars, fudge etc which are quite tasty, but have given me indigestion.  I won't be much bothered about that when the world ends.  I think I'd better get a round of tea/coffee in, it might be my last time.
10:00  Finished my bacon and egg bun - the usual Fat Friday thing.  Not that good really, too much fat on the bacon.  It's my last meal, I was hoping for something special.  I wonder what the typical condemned prisoner eats?  The thing about food is that its just a fleeting enjoyment, and sometimes has bad after-effects (especially if you're the prisoner).  Mind you, I guess that's the same with anything you enjoy - when it's gone, it's gone.  The target is happiness, brought about I suppose by enjoying things continually.  I mean, you're not going to stay happy if you don't enjoy something are you?
Still no sign of the end.
12:00 Nothing, not even a shudder.  Oh well, we'll just have to wait until the next end of the world.
