I have just under an hour to procrastinate/do college work before I have to do proper studying again
So tell me interesting things O internet.

Failing that, what is your opinion on parents who use public transport during rush hour?

I reserve the right to skewer their children on an umbrella
if they start acting up.

Dolphins have nipples,
but I've never seen them.

It's a bit annoying but it's better than them driving a 4x4 around, and often they don't have a choice. I do occasionally want to tell them that they're shit parents though.

You could ride that Tinysaurus to work
instead of using public transport

I could, but then everyone'd want one
I'd want a hybrid tinysaurus/pug for extra special value

I don't think so...
although that would be superb.

I recently learned that
in south America, there is a plant called the Bucket Orchid. Now, might not sound interesting, but there is a bee that can only mate with the scent the orchid produces. The bee lands on the leaf to 'preen' itself (if thats what its called) with the lovely perfume, only to find the leaves are very slippery. The bee then falls down a tube and into a pool of water. The bee, panicking, and prolly thinking 'shit, I am being eaten' or something, swims around until it finds a little bee shaped hole in the flower. The bee, knowing his luck is in, crawls through the hole. Just before the bee crawls out, the plant closes its jaws gently around the bee, and glues its pollen to it. Leaves it there to set, and then lets the bee go. The bee has the scent for his girlfriend, and the flower has secured a way of successfully passing on its pollen.

Isnt that just beautiful.

I saw a documentary on those plants a while ago, they looked pretty cool
I always wanted a venus fly trap as a kid, but never got one and I think if I got one now my cat would eat it.

I had a venus fly trap.
It died. Fly traps and Tabasco do not mix.

I'm not surprised, they're sentient lifeforms
organic and all that. Poor little venus. Sadface

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Fri 18 Sep 2009, 10:10, Reply)

Beautiful, but it only works because bees are thick
If they'd any sense, then the bee who'd just been trapped would say to his mates, "I just had a really narrow escape from that bucket orchid. Just stay away from it. If the burd's not up for it, buy her some nectar and you'll get your end away no bother"

I thought it was because the female ate the male bee after sex*

may not be true

YAY, awesomesauce my good lady
when do you start?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Fri 18 Sep 2009, 10:00, Reply)

Monday
The first month is on a trial basis. If I can relay the impression of sanity for that long, I should be ok.
( cackers, Fri 18 Sep 2009, 10:03, Reply)

Only a month? Christ you're lucky. Mine is 3 months probation and the cracks are already starting to show
Best of luck, I think I'll be around here on Monday as I've got the day off, but will be doing procrastinating studying/portfolio work :)
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Fri 18 Sep 2009, 10:10, Reply)

Maybe, maybe not
I think the reason the probationary period is so brief is that they go through people like tissues. It's meant to be a high-stress environment and the boss is a bit nutty. I've dealt with her sort before, though.

You must be getting close to 90 days by now, right? Hang in there, hot stuff. I wish you happy procrastinations...
( cackers, Fri 18 Sep 2009, 10:15, Reply)

Nah, I've just gone a week past the 2 month mark
So far so good, so far so good.

Good to hear
that it's going alright. I seem to remember you had a shitty commute--will be the same sort of deal (ordeal?) for me. Promise to regale you with stories of this new asylum and share my transit rage...

I think you'll find that is in the 'Comedy Gold' book, page 23.
Under 'Jokes about Deafness'.

When I saw My Bloody Valentine last month they were as loud as a 747 taking off. 'Twas lovely.
