I'm being stabbed in the guts by a navigationally challenged narwhal.

A good thing I was temporarily coffeeless when I read this.

Being as impatient as an impatient thing in a factory full of small children.

Pretending I can't see the black dog that has been haunting me the last few days.  Just bugger off, will you?

Getting ready to sally forth to the fracture clinic for what I hope is the final time which, in turn, means driving across town. Blah!

Next step, physioterrorism ...

New kitties?

Wishing we hadn't eaten all the cake last week, or at least that there was new cake this week.

F5'ing on a parcel tracker site. It tells me that my new toy is still in Köln, Germany. It arrived there last night at 23:11 and has not moved since. Get on with it!

I had one recently which took longer to cover the handful of miles from Barking to Larrington Towers than to reach suburban Essex from Germany.  It'll arrive by Christmas :demon:

Which year?

I find it fascinating to see these tracking things how they show a parcel ping ponging around. I had one while living London, hit Heathrow to do a trip to Manchester and Birmingham before arriving the following day. The nerve racking moment when you know they are in the air from the US and you don't know where they are going to pop up, Hamburg or Gatwick? My horror is that Parcel Farce is about to takeover the delivery from DropHideLose ...

Awaiting a gig ticket pre-sale to start.

Did that last week.  Then they delayed the start by twenty-seven hours.  Gits.

Waited, the site crashed, kept trying, then decide I really really needed a dump.

Came back from the trap to find the site was working, so tickets ordered.  I am going to Sunderland on 25th May next year!

Trying to persuade my new (to me) phone to work. It's an S3 LTE which shows it's connected to a network but is unable to move data or make/receive a call. I'm going to guess the SIM card is too old I think.

This would be a lot easier with a wifi (or even 3G) signal in my office.

Laughing. Just had an email from a guy who works in an architect's office (the firm is doing a bathroom adaptation for us). He has signed it with his full name and then BSc Hons at the end of it. We are wondering if we should add things to the end of our email signatures. I would add BSc (no Hons, I was only the 4th intake of the BSc course and there was no Hons), Manual Handling Risk Assessor with Distinction, Bronze Lifesaver, and then I would scan my 10m swimming badge and all my old girl guide badges and add those too.

Having a quick cuppa after handballing a fucktonne (metric lots) of rock salt and horticultural sand from one side of the compound to the other.

I am then off to run bike club.

Wondering wtf gdb is showing me this:
(gdb) info locals
a = -1323752223
b = -1323752223
c = 1836311903
d = -2147483236

When it should be showing this:
(gdb) info locals
a = 0
b = 1
c = 1
d = 1

The endianess is correct . . .
