For the first time in my ever-lovin' life, I'm glad that there's a Tube strike a-comin'. Means I can tell management where to stick it when they want me to work on a bank holiday. It's bad enough wanting me to do so in the first place; expecting me to get here during a public transport FUBAR? Nooooo. So no, I am going to have my four days' worth of ( Read more... )

Look, sorting through the amount of stuff that got left at dodgyhoodoo's place takes time. And sometimes things get more or less tidied into corners and then go entirely by the wayside until one early afternoon, one crawls out of bed, looks at that box for the hundredth time, and snaps.

CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!

Well, most of the things. It'll do, anyway. The ( Read more... )

So the van-man arrived, with all the stuff, and lugged it up the stairs for me. Some of it is going to have a more or less immediate trip to the bin and other bits are going to charity but the rest of it I actually found homes for. My window sill is still stacked with books, but given that at least two of the boxes were full of nothing but books ( Read more... )

First of all ... way to go, New York ( Read more... )

Well, that wasn't as painful as I thought it would be ( Read more... )

Planning for Flatmageddon continues. Well, sort of, anyhow. I bought a bookshelf. I suppose it's £30 well spent, but I'm really hoping that when the Argos website says 'anywhere between 7am and 3pm' for delivery of the bloody thing, they mean the later end of that spectrum. I really don't want to have to wake up at 7am to collect a freakin' ( Read more... )

Now at work, with coffee, considering Flat-mageddon. I really can't think about anything else right now because ... well. Seriously. I'm sure I'll be glad to have this stuff back when I get it but ... well ... there are problems. There are issues. Most of them involve storage space. Or rather, lack of storage space. Yes, I admit I was the one ( Read more... )

The saga of Schrodinger's Admin continues. There was a fun bit on Tuesday that involved her pissing off the other admin so much (he asked her to do some filing; she pitched a fit despite the fact that it's her job and he had quite enough to do at that point) that he ended up taking it out on me, which was exceptionally amusing. And then there was ( Read more... )

I am procrastinating. Heavily. Because today is Clean All The Things Day. See, I do try to keep things as tidy as possible in here, but let's face it; clutter happens. I could just let clutter keep happening until I can't see the floor anymore and then clean it up, but ... nah. Instead, I have Clean All The Things Day, which mostly involves doing ( Read more... )

Not a whole lot has been going on the last couple of days, I have to admit. A bit of RP and a distinct lack of Warcrack ... though that latter has something to do with the connection hiccups that have been plaguing me for days on end. Seriously, there was a point at which I disconnected five times in as many minutes and I have no the hell idea why. ( Read more... )
