I've just managed to get through my first working day under a Conservative Government and somehow scraped through unscathed.
There have been no chairs put through the office windows nor a sign of a repeat of the Toxteth riots or a mass amount of people been put out of jobs.
Sat in a pub last night with six of my mates, alarm bells rang out when someone got a text saying Cameron is the new PM.
The night was ruined as the conversation turned from football and banter to finance and budget.
Seven lads, all under the age of 25, none of them having worked a day under a Tory Government, began to speculate as to how bad spending cuts will be, amid record youth unemployment and the highest ever graduation rates.
Haunted by parent's tales of millions out of work, that 'witch' Maggie Thatcher (the milk snatcher) took away free milk from children and vanished the voice of working class Britain, stripping away power from the unions.
The turnout for this election was 65%. Some couldn't vote because they ran out of paper while others complained they couldn't be bothered waiting because of mass queues at polling stations.
These are the fast days of the fast internet, fast microwavable pasta, fast mobile phones – people have OD OCD (on-demand obsessive compulsive disorder).
Here's to hoping that Cameron and Clegg don't follow in Thatcher's footsteps and please the young OD OCD generation with fast solutions to match.
