28th November:When I adventure into the world of mycobacteria and online grocery deliveries
So, I have a microbiology essay due in on the 11th. Pretty 'bleh', but not as 'bleh' as biochemistry...seriously, that biochem test on Thursday was evil!! I've done some research on Human Papilloma Virus, as well as Colonial Collapse Disorder [Life without honey bees is sad :(], and now I've been taking notes on Mycobacteria, many M.Tuberculosis and M.Leprae. Now I really ought to begin starting on the actual writing, but we still haven't gotten the heating situation sorted out since Lewis being the ill lazy git that he is hasn't sorted out the boiler. So I have about a zillion layers on, as well as a blanket and hot water bottle. Plus my groceries have finally arrived!! :D I have milk for a cuppa now!! ^^ So yes, I'm writing a new entry to you lovely people whilst sipping on some yummy tea ^^.
*slurp*
Now onto the boring rant about online grocery deliveries. Oh, and I think I may have grasped how the hell I can do a cut! :D [that made me sound a little like an amateur emo...whoops]
My mum, since she can't drive and has quite a few hungry people living with her (especially in the holidays), normally orders her groceries online, so, needless to say, she's had some mishaps, such as the milk leaking over the meat, or crushed boxes of cereal because some genius thought stacking tins on top of things that go crunch was a great idea! Since I've been too busy to go grocery shopping (so busy I really shouldn't be on livejournal...*sigh*), and my cupboards were looking rather bare, I decided I'd have to order some groceries online with a certain British cousin of Walmart. That was the easy part. What's annoying is when they replace or don't have the items you had ordered. I wasn't too fussed that they replaced the tube of dairy milk chocolate (present for one of my housemates) with dairy milk chocolate buttons, or that they'd substituted the liver for two smaller packs. But then they didn't have the wine. I'm not an alcoholic, but I enjoy having a glass of merlot after a long day at uni or use it in cooking (chicken in red wine sauce is delicious!). They also didn't have the bathmat, which I had ordered to make the house look more decent since we have the landlord's agent coming round for an inspection on Wednesday. Oh, and while I was separating the sausages into baggies, I noticed that even for sausages, these ones looks exceptionally gross...meh.
That wasn't the worst of it...the bananas, some of the apples and at least one of my onions and oranges were bruised!! If there's anything I despise more than Mycobacterium, it's bruised fruit (and veg). THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT ORDER FOOD ONLINE!!
...sorry, that sounded a bit psycho. But seriously, this is why I prefer going to the shops and taking time to find decent fruit and veggies that are not halfway-on-their-way-out-to-the-compost-heap!
At least they didn't forget my muffin mix (brought because I'm a lazy sod, not because I lack in culinary skills) or fish fingers. I think I would have cried if they had. Yes, such is the tragedy of my life. I piss and moan over bruised fruit and microbes. That is beyond a normal level of pathetic, even for me.
