Morning
I'm sat here ready far too early to go for my interview and if I get any more nervous I might just poo.

How are you all?

Well, the day started well (read into that what you will), I came to work, blogged, and I've just discovered the wonder that is salad cream (don't read too much into this!). I used to hate the stuff, but this morning it was really tasty :)

How're you BK?

Like I said, I used to hate it.
When I was in my early years I was babysat by a stoner who insisted on making chips with skins on drowning in salad cream for dinner. To my early palate, they were the devil's chips. But a little packet came with my prepacked salad today and it was good. So good.

I'm seriously thinking about ditching this office lark and getting myself a proper job... no idea what I want to do tho :(

I overheard a loud annoying phone call on my train to Victoria this morning. Someone who works on reception at The Dorchester is getting fired today for their lack of reliability and their poor time keeping.

Sleeping pills are definitely evil
They knock you out but you feel like you haven't slept, cos it's drugged sleep. May as well not sleep and do something useful with your night!

I struggle to sleep more than 3 or 4 hours a night, and that's only if I get chronically stoned before I go to bed. Being able to survive on not much sleep is an advantage though, it gives me more time to be productive (or laze about)

fixing and building computers, when we had some old piece of shit that had been traded in and nobody wanted, we used to set it up on a desk with the lid off and the computer running, then throw money in it from the other side of the room. First one to get the computer to turn off or let any of the magic smoke out didn't have to make the tea.

Fucking cunting bastarding bastards
A small rant about jobsworth cunts, if I may...

A little background: I am Type I diabetic. As you are probably aware this means I have to inject insulin every time I eat, otherwise I'll die.

Last night I broke my last cartridge whilst putting it into my injection pen (they're fiddly little glass things and I'm strong, or clumsy). This left me with enough drugs in my spare pen to do breakfast and my lunch, meaning I'll need some more by tonight. I'm quite disorganised, but usually I manage alright and order some more before I get onto the last one, I've been well busy with the new job though.

Since I'm at work all day in a town 13 miles away from my home town, which is where the GP is, I asked my mum to nip into the doctors this morning and get a prescription for me. No problem I thought, my GP is a family friend and he'd do this no worries.

Just had a phone call from my mum, it turns out the doctor is on holiday and the receptionist won't even let her see another one: Computer says no, can't prescribe unless the patient is there, computer says no, yes computer still says no even though we're fully aware he will die without this medication, etc etc etc....

I am now going to have to finish work early and lose some flexi time so I can go to the doctors to get this prescription. I love the NHS, they saved my life and that, but I am NOT a fan of jobsworths. Think they're going to get shouted at...

(and breathe slowly, and relax....)

Ignore these amateurs!

What you need to do is to get some white marshmallows.

Chop 'em up and put 'em into the milk.
If someone drinks it they'll get a horrible lumpy, sticky chunk in their mouth, and likely be sick.

Safe, fun, and you can still drink your milk.

fucking fantastic
my computer, while windowsupdating (yes, it is a word - as of now) is doing spaz things with my display.

I'm using a laptop with an external display (the lapscreen (another word) is broken after an accident involving cats and a washing basket), and while updating the drivers, my screen keeps going balck, changing resolution, and is now shared between this and the lapscreen.

That's what I get for allowing automatic updating.

We've got some massive big ones in the server room
Then a (slightly) smaller one in each office which is wired to 13A sockets on the trunking. It's not difficult to understand:

Sockets with no switches = UPS sockets
Sockets with switches = normal electricity

But everyone still plugs coffee machines, kettles, the cleaners plug their hoovers into the UPS sockets. Which the UPS obviously love.

Why would you rummage around behind desks to plug your hoover in when there's a normal socket RIGHT NEXT TO THE FUCKING DOOR?

Still, I suppose if they had any more intelligence they wouldn't be cleaning for a living.

That sounds a lot like the setup we used to have. One time the gigantic UPS gave a large pop noise, then promptly died.

The cleaner quickly said "it wasn't me!", in stark contrast to the pop happening the very second he turned on the vacuum cleaner, which was plugged into a socket that clearly said "Computer use ONLY!".

Other favourites of theirs include unplugging network switches to plug in the hoover, even when there's more sockets, and not cleaning, or emptying the bins.
