The sun is shining and I’m finding it very hard to work! Boss has gone home, so-called supervisor is stuck in the lab and I want to be outside eating an icecream. I went for a walk at lunch with some colleagues and we sat in a field and ate our lunch and watched nifty military aircraft flying by. One girl is a serious aircraft geek (having ( Read more... )

Ahh, it's been such a beautiful day! The sun has been shining most of the day, and it's been gloriously warm and wonderful. My vegetable garden is blooming (with the exception of the beans which I think were put in the ground too early and are looking all small and sad and haven't grown at all in weeks), flowers are popping up all over the place ( Read more... )

5.30am - headache again. Took drugs again. Fell asleep again ( Read more... )

In Excel, I have a number of graphs related to data in spreadsheets. If I have a single x and a single y value (for example, measurement a over time) then when I click on the graph, the relevant data is highlighted in blue and purple boxed which I can drag down if I add more data to the spreadsheet ( Read more... )

I've just got home from the work Christmas party. Last year I dressed as a pirate with an indecently low top and drank far too much - not enough to do anything stupid bu enough to snog my then fiance on the dancefloor (aka work canteen) and feel a little dry the next morning. This year I dressed as Link and was driving, and I actually think I ( Read more... )

I'm having a productive lunchtime. I've booked the car in for its MOT, the boiler in for a service, and Tom has called the bank about his debit card randomly not working since his account became our joint account ( Read more... )

I seem to be inexplicably annoyed with someone at work today. There's no particular reason for it - she just seems to be pushing my buttons for some reason. I'm going to escape to the lab soon, and the rest of the afternoon will be spent with our nice new Spanish temp and training so that's good.

Tupping hormones...

I had a nice birthday yesterday, with cake at work followed by a lazy evening in with take-away curry. The day was slightly spoiled by OMG POLITICS! at work with people complaining about too much cake and the effort involved in organising birthdays in an expanding group, but I've offered to take over responsibility for cakes and cards just to shut ( Read more... )

I just came back from a meeting with our work choir and there were four of us. Four. When we had our first rehearsal there were over 30 attendees, but it rapidly dropped off. So this meeting was to determine the fate of the choir and re-energise it! I am now apparently secretary - apparently you need a minimum of a Treasurer, Chair and ( Read more... )

I have decided today is going to be a day where I get on with my own work - I'm not going to do favours for other people (unless they are in my management chain I guess), I'm not going to get distracted, I'm just going to work on my poster for the conference in September. I've put on The Who's Tommy and I'm just going to emerse myself and be ( Read more... )
