11:24pm: The title there doesn't just mean the time, because I'm supposed to get to bed at a decent hour, but also because I think I fucked up at work today and I'm worried about getting told off tomorrow. :O ( Read more... )

11:29pm: I may have mentioned this before, but after the high fatality rate after a fire aboard an aircraft, psychologists decided to test how people would react to needing to escape from a smoke-filled cabin by offering them five pounds. And it worked o.O! People were willing to shove other people over and climb over seats for five pounds! Now I ( Read more... )

11:11pm: Although my internet suffering should shortly be over - come midnight the new cycle starts, thank God! Although hopefully it won't run out half way through like last time, I'll be watching it very closely! - a new technological problem has reared it's ugly head. My mobile phone has stopped working! I was playing The Simpsons: Tapped Out on ( Read more... )

11:05pm: In terms of the keyboard cleaning, I finally managed to get a hold of the compressed air, for only $2.95 too! And I followd the instructions for cleaning and the keyboard no looks a lot cleaner...but the '3', '4', 'e', 'd' and 'c' keys still won't work! Son of a bitch ( Read more... )

8:54pm: Right...to say I'm not really enjoying this experience is an accurate statement, seriously, I'm hating it! It's not that I don't like the people who work there or even the residents - they're all very nice, but the work is just, ugh. I was left on my own a few times to do things and suffice to say I couldn't do shit. About the only thing I ( Read more... )

11:18pm: Of music with lyrics being used in figure skating programs, it's a new thing they brought in this season and it just feels wrong. Honestly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I find it very distracting...this sort of thing has been allowed in Ice Dance, but that's dance man. It's like having lyrics in a gymnastics floor routine ( Read more... )

11:34pm: Who used up all that bandwidth on my Grandpa's internet, however, it's not as bad as all that because as it turns out the cycle is from the 22nd of the month, not the end of the month. So he shouldn't run out of bandwidth, especially since he doesn't download that much stuff. Phew! Still, I really dropped the ball on that one, I should ( Read more... )

10:53pm: On the couch here in the flat, basically I've been sort of leaning on my right arm while having the laptop resting on the right arm of the couch. Looking at this in hindsight I should have seen that this would quite possibly result in a painful shoulder from putting all my weight on it. So now it is sore, boo. Oh well now I know better ( Read more... )

8:59pm: Which is not breaking news, but I'm watching a program on TV that is reminding me of that fact even moreso. The current Government wants to screw over the budding renewable energy sector in Australia, all for the sake of the Big Coal companies, total bullshit, man, total bullshit ( Read more... )

11:02pm: Dad ended up taking his new car to work today and it wasn't feasible for him to go by Mum's work and get the BMW, so I ended up having to drive the manual after all. Sigh! I didn't really grind the gears that badly, I suppose...but it was still rather nerve-racking. So much so that I ended up leaving the Macquarie Centre before the last ( Read more... )
