It is too easy to turn your night to day, but not so easy to get it back again.

Yup wide awake...

eBay is a strange and wonderful place.

Also, people are weird.

Never rely on an unreliable person.

You'd think I'd learn but he asked for the meeting yesterday, you'd think he could turn up for it today... Oh well will just have to kill time on company resources.

The combination of carpeted stairs and socked feet is dangerous, and will lead to you hurting your shoulder/neck. Stopid stairs.


Finishing a project you were volunteered for, and didn't want to take part in, is very, very nice.

Yesterday, I learned how to successfully replace a pane of window glass.

The day before, I learned that carrying a large pane of window glass in the metro is not a good idea.

Today, I will learn how to leave all the people, things and places I love behind and start a new life.

Gulp.

Don't worry, Katcal! New Beginnings are good things! Plus, it means you are even closer to me That's gotta be good, right!

Good luck Kat.

You may yet learn that playing unending games of minesweep* is no way to get a thesis done...

*review to be viewed soon on games review thread. I don't know it really is a game that only rewards you after hours of procrastination with a smily face in sunnies. I'm not feeling fulfilled people.

If the person beside you in work has BO, it is very easy to start imagining that you too have BO. Even if you don't.

speaking as someone who works in a depressingly male-dominated factory where they all love footie, you have my sympathies. especially on thursdays when they play 7-a-side after work...

Today I learnt that it is always advisable to check you're not still wearing your open-toed slippers before venturing out into the slushy snow.

Oops!

Today i learned that washing up multiplies. It doesn't matter how much you do, you end up looking like a comedy sketch or Mary Poppins with her carpet bag cos you just can't stop taking stuff out of the soapy water. I swear if i had fallen in i would have drowned.....and i still have some left to do before Dave comes in from work!

That works for clothes washing too. You might have only worn two pairs of socks, but somehow, you end up putting eight into the machine. Same goes for Undies and bras.


1. Today I learned that saying 'I am a fasting diabetic' when you are waiting to have blood tests taken, does not work as it should. Theoretically, according to all the doctors and nurses I've talked to, it should lump me up to the top of the queue. Instead, it took well over an hour. And I was the only one to say I was a diabetic, and got there a good hour before the damned place opened! Had to have a rotten hospital sandwich the moment I got out of there. Yeach!

2. Hospital Sandwiches taste as bad as train sandwiches. Constructed of cardboard and pollyfilla.

3. Having a needle repeatedly jabbed in both arms because the nurse can't find a vein hurts!

4.People in work worry if I don't turn up...it's kind of sweet really, even if my Team Manager knew I had a half day booked.

6. It takes three days to get your driving licence posted out to you...yes, I finally applied for the real thing! Driving around on the certificate, not the best of ideas.

Yeah, I hate it when my bras.... I mean, my tree cutting uniforms start to pile up. I have enough to last me two full weeks, but usually wash once or twice a week to keep the smell down in the house.


I couldn't decide on just one quote... more to come.

"A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way." - Mark Twain

"Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was that they escaped teething." - Mark Twain

"All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure." - Mark Twain
