Waiting for Crapita (and barakta's deafblind^[1] interpreter) to turn up...

Day 2 post-vasectomy, trying to work from home, sitting in bed trying to stop my buttocks going numb. At this rate I may as well be sitting in the office...

Relaxing after a reading a bunch of French constitutional stuff. Kinda dry.

That's what you get for using two blue bricks!*

Looking out of my Surrey/Sussex borders front window as the snow gets heavier.

my second vasectomy, yes, second, went horribly wrong and I ended up back in hospital for five days. I’d managed to get myself to the doctors surgery and on explaining the symptoms he responded in a very bored well what do you expect voice that I should drop my trousers. He espyed the offending article, ordered my to lie down and called an ambulance. 🤕

The ~~offender~~ consultant who had inflicted the injury upon me was ever so attentive over those 5 days!

Trying to decide between a siesta and a tramp round the village. Siesta's ahead in the polls.

My vasectomy sort of went wrong - the anesthetic didn't work at all on one side, which they didn't find out until they clamped the tube . . .

I was back at work the next morning (and I cycled the 2.5miles in to the office, but didn't really sit on the saddle).

What am I doing now? Full of nerves waiting for telephone interview, that will be followed by a timed test. Crap I hate exams.

[edit] interview over. Timed test now. bricking myself.

How'd it go?

mrcharly-YHT · « **Reply #21885 on:** 24 January, 2018, 07:32:39 pm »

Two-part test. First one was short; I've already had feedback, they were happy enough with that.

I have 48 hours to complete second part. So, realistically, until tomorrow night. Shame it corresponds with having a metric sh!ton of work to complete.

Cold. Bah. Got on a plane yesterday evening in NYC feeling peachy. Got off this morning in London feeling like grot with a nasty sore, swollen throat. Pairs perfectly with jetlag.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #21887 on:** 27 January, 2018, 07:19:41 pm »

Me too, except this one had been threatening all week but decided to go into full grot mode just in time for the flight home, cocking up my sinuses into the process. Am a bit deaf now.

ian · « **Reply #21888 on:** 28 January, 2018, 06:47:48 pm »

This one came out of nowhere. I was fine at JFK, having a drink with a colleague, then I got on the plane and sat in my seat and suddenly my throat started to tickle and by time I deplaned it was full on. Taking a couple of ibuprofen pills felt like swallowing two bowling bowls that had been wrapped in barbed wire.

Same thing happened flying back from San Diego last year. Got on plane feeling as fine as a man who's just quaffed a couple of Stone IPAs can be, and then spent the entire long flight feeling worse and worse. And for bonus points, some massive snafu on the M25 at rush hour meant it took an additional two-and-half hours to get home. And despite my looking and sounding like an extra from The Walking Dead the taxi driver talked at me for the entire journey.

I have submitted a tax return and paid The Bastards just over £300.

I am helping my dear wife fill in her return.

My nasty infections grot is beginning to subside. I am not coughing nearly as much as I was.

I have beer but no vasectomy.

Staring another Monday in the teeth and wondering why it affects me, since I'm retired. I do have to talk to the tax office but there's no point in calling them on a Monday since they'll be swamped.

Have just booked a holiday away for 2 weeks over Easter. North Devon. Now trying to decide what to do that will amuse me and not piss off Dr Beardy (Mrs) into the bargain

Sniffling my way through a zillion documents and graphics and changing 'country' to 'country/territory.' I'm sure once I've done our learned council will decide 'country/region' is preferred.

Sitting in a cinema waiting for a live broadcast of “Tosca” from the Royal Opera House.

No such excitement, and not a dinner jacket in sight.

Looking at harmonicas on Amazon. Not sure about investing in bitcoin, but I'm pretty certain that the price of Hohner Marine band harmonicas has gone up massively. I'm pretty sure I didn't spend anywhere near 30 quid for mine.

On an hairyplane loading at Heathrow, wondering if there is any way wheelie bags could be uninvented. This would be a great asset to traveling humanity.

ETA. Here's an idea for BA to drive revenue. Sell the right to have people of limited girth occupy the next seat. And then, you could sell negative proximity to squalling babies. This is going to be a real fun five hours. Which way is the rant thread?
