damned roller!
I'm not sure of the required format...I have just been to the International Boat Show in London. Boats and bits of all kinds. Some of the boats are so expensive even international football players (US or UK types) couldn't afford them. I bought some wellies :-)
I have been painting my lounge. Last wall finished in a mocha chocolate colour.I looked in the mirror and I appear to have lots of freckles.... damned roller!
Cleaned room three today and changed the guy in room seven with room one to get him away from stinky. Been trying to fix the signals for the satellites again as someone seems to be a satellite terrorist in the house, I think they like to see me at the top of a tall ladder all the time!Noticed lots of mice holes in the garden outside stinky's room, wouldn't mind doing a mark and recapture population estimation on them just for the hell of it.Put up a mirror in room 18. Noticed now that there is a light bulb covered by a protective shield to prevent it from being stolen, in the toilet downstairs, every week that stinky doesn't use it any more and wee's outside judging by all the yellow stains in the melting snow which have appeared since installing the new light fitting!Helped the guy in room one with some first aid when he cut his hand severely on some broken glass and was bleeding everywhere! Spoke to an old friend currently in South Korea on Skype for the first time in years.Tried to get into room 14 to turn the water off as there is a leak in the laundry room coming from his broken toilet but he has changed the locks on the door without telling myself or the owner, frustrating!Woke up at 4.30am after having an odd dream about people deliberately provoking me to try and get a reaction!Sorry Karen W for being so drab and non fun, im sure I will have a better day tomorrow []
Plucked up the courage to open the American Express statement that came in over a week ago. I was concerned because I usually don't get anything from them in the mail. I found this to be a bit ominous, so I decided it would benefit from a bit of ageing. Good news! Despite what it said on the envelope, it wasn't really a statement at all. It was just one of those annoying notices about privacy that nobody ever takes the time to read.Bad news! On further inspection, I discovered it wasn't addressed to me at all. It was for some other guy down the road that I've never heard of.Now what do I do with the flaming thing? Tape up the (very badly damaged) envelope, write "Ooops - sorry!" on it, and stick it back in the mail, which is probably a total waste of time because the recipient will immediately chuck it in the trash when he realizes what it is, or, stick the thing in the shredder (almost certainly a Federal offense) and pretend like none of this ever happened?Having made this rather public, I think I better go with option A.
Geezer. An even better option would be to tell the postman about his incorrect delivery of mail to your address and tell him you opened the mail by mistake. You could then take the letter yourself to the person down the road and give it to them personally and explain exactly what you said in your post. I am sure they will understand although having said that they also might pull out a gun and blow your head off, who knows [] Yep I would go with Option A []Just drinking my first cup of tea in 2011, as an Englishman I am somewhat [:I]
Dear DiaryToday, I waited while some bacteria took 6 hrs to grow. During that time I :--rearranged my bench, twice-cleaned my bench after rearranging it, so I had to rearrange it again.-went to the media room and stocked up with spare everything, whether I need it or not. -played 'see how far you can eject the pipette tip off the end'-made a long, thin plastic bag into a sock puppet, with the aid of some stickers.-made two empty ice buckets into bongos and played a tune-bugged everyone else in my lab who was trying to work-bugged anyone outside my lab that, including the electricians working in the hallway. So if anyone every wonders why scientists take so long to discover things, that is why []
We turned on the TV to watch the news this morning and it promptly quit working. Then it started working, then it quit again. What was really Quote from: Geezer on 11/01/2011 03:08:51We turned on the TV to watch the news this morning and it promptly quit working. Then it started working, then it quit again. What was really annoying was that the only periods when it was working seemed to be perfectly synchronized with the frequent commercials. This is the second time this has happened in a week.As if that's not bad enough, the internet also comes via cable and, so does the blinking phone. Consequently, it's extremely difficult to contact the cable company to report the fault. You might well ask why I didn't use my cell phone. I can't. We don't have coverage where we live!I was just coming to terms with this latest effrontery when I heard screaming in the kitchen. Mrs G had just detected that there was no water coming out of the taps! So I had to get out of bed, put on a lot of clothes (it was really cold last night) and trudge through the snow to the community well to fire up the generator. Turns out a transformer on a utility pole had conked out.Mind you, it could have been worse. One of our neighbors gets power (or, more accurately wasn't getting power) from the offending transformer. His pipes froze, so even if the water pump had been running, he wasn't going to get any. And, to crown it all, he went out to his truck to go to work and one of the tires was as flat as a tack. was that the only periods when it was working seemed to be perfectly synchronized with the frequent commercials.
