Mondayless weeks

    Don’t you just love ’em? 🙂 Yet another short week – made somewhat shorter by the fact I’ll be in Hahn on Thursday (and after OBL’s death, no doubt security will be even more stringent). Today should be a good day too – as the driver is delivering to Manchester/East Midlands, I’ll be taking a delivery to Stansted and dropping off the test gear to be flown out to Hahn, and hopefully, that’s about it. Seeing as I came in on Friday, I reckon I’m due a couple of hours off 😛 So, happy Tuesday people!

    So, yesterday turned out to be fairly busy for me

    A guy who does some rep work for us visited the office. As he came in he spotted me and said “Ah, just the man.” (this generally makes me die a little inside ‘cos it’s usually the precursor to some inane computer problem, but I like the bloke). “What’s up then?” I enquired. “My daughter’s laptop has a virus – I’ve got it in the car – can you take a look at it for me?” I agreed and the laptop was duly presented to me – a pink Dell no less 😐 So I booted it up and OMG…it’s […]

    Pandas

    Ya know, if we could encourage the black and white fuckers to eat cheese, maybe they’d die out sooner…then all the people who like ’em would stop eating cheese ‘cos it killed the non-colourful fucking things… 🙂 So, next time you’re at the zoo – throw some cheddar (or brie – I really don’t care), HARD at a panda – extra points if you make it fall over, and a bonus if it then picks it up and eats it. Pandas and cheese – 2 things that I’ll wipe out when I rule the world… ALTERNATE STORY: St Neots FreeCycle […]

    Lazy post – have an old B3ta QOTW reply:

    Some people shouldn’t be allowed to teach This was recalled by someone much earlier telling tales of scientists doing stupid things. For my sins, I am a science teacher in what would be politely referred to as a ‘Comprehensive’ school. Seeing as we’re in the near-vicinity of several grammar schools, we are in fact more of a bottom-feeder. Needless to say, any illusions I once possessed of being a cross between Mr Chips and Robin Williams in Dead Poet’s Society have been crushed under the sheer weight of imbecility I have to deal with while attempting to be inspirational. Most […]

    How to impress people – especially your boss (aka: how NOT to be a numpty*)

    So yesterday was my nemesis (you know – Monday). Now for some reason, over Easter we get a lot of bank holidays in the UK. And that, your honour, is my defence for not coming into work yesterday – I thought it was a bank holiday. No really – I did. I got up early and everything, pootled about the house and garden doing stuff – I even got some of my DVDs sorted. Well, the boss laughed (at me!) today when he got in… * Word ‘numpty’ courtesy of Lisa, aged 9¾
