So who is actually awake at this time on a Sunday....

Must be a first for me for a while, though I am unsure whether I have approached this morning from the wrong side..... :S

Check

*Randomly pinches myself*

Yep still here. Just checking for my own reference really as I am not sure I am coming or going of late...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Walsh Western/ Lynx deliveries - avoid like the plague

2008-03-17T17:32:35Z

I am having a nightmare getting something delivered.

I don't claim to be anyone special but you would expect that after the first missed delivery the courier would indicate in advance when the next delivery would be, and possibly give a more precise time-frame.

OK, OK the last one could be asking for miracles in regards to some couriers, but the little boxes on the card saying MON, TUES, WED, etc. are a clue and could at least be ticked so that I am not on the phone for the next delivery....missed by 10 mins (obviously little boxes are too difficult to tick nowadays.) >O(

The final delivery is missed because, as far as I can tell, the courier can do what ever they like and do not talk to anyone.. so again they tried an earlier delivery but did not tell anyone...

What the f***!

So I needed progress and got the delivery address changed.

This was agreed last Thursday but the package is still in package 'lala land' as, as far as I can tell, the courier has not returned the goods to the Walsh Western to be relabelled despite the re-call order.....

Am I missing something here? I do not want to even imagine what is going on here but
1) they probably don't even care,
2) what else can I do.

Currently waiting for a call back...

Anyone have any ideas?

Eh... what no fall down!
Yeeps. *Fall down*... *get back up*...

It just dawned on me the length, breadth an depth of this simple little statement.... it applies everywhere, anytime and to everyone...

Made me chuckle; but then I have occasionally been accused of being mad :OD

Shakey shakey wakey wakey!

Strange people wandering around near one in the morning waking people up from their slumber.... have they not heard of Nike-air soled shoes :D

Typical as I actually got to sleep early! (Well between 00:00 and 00:05am ;))

I am glad I watched the news though, otherwise I would have thought it a very strange dream ....

*ponderous thoughts*
Have to admit the shakes are more jerky on the first floor compared to the 7th floor where I previous felt an earthquake....

:oD

Time - and how it passes

2008-02-11T12:54:41Z

Inspired by the Audi R8 advert I was thinking about time, as on occasion I am more than aware of the weighty ticking of a clock and of the passing of time.

Although at other times I am almost completely oblivious to the passing of time and certain events make me think ‘oh, yeah… it is that time again’, or something like that.

So, I was trying to think of all the things that make me consciously think about time. My list thus far: -

1) Ticking clock.
2) Series on television – starting/ ending – I don’t tend to follow them but they amuse me.
3) It gets darker/ lighter - going to work/ coming home, wandering up to post a letter.
4) LARP events.
5) Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, etc.
6) British Summer time start/ finish.
7) Broken light bulbs – all except the kitchen are energy saving so they rarely go.
8) Car tax/ MOT/ house insurance/ council tax – all the boring stuff.
9) Mowing the lawn.
10) Visiting a friend I have not done so for a while.
11) Cobwebs.
12) Old flight boarding cards (from business trips) – they seem to randomly pop up, and it is not like I just spread them over the house when I return!

Mmm, I am sure there are more but now I have focussed on them they drifted somewhere else!

Oh, for those who are not in the know... recent evidence* has discovered there was actually a fourth wise man. All four wise men observed the bright light** in the sky and started there quest for the new alleged king of the world to be. However, in passing under the light the undocumented fourth wise man met an awful end when full plate dwarven armour fell from the sky and crushed him.***

As you can imagine this would have been completely scandalous at the time and destroys an otherwise fluffy story, so it was omitted from the records and only three wise men completed their journey.

* Actually, this is fairly lacking but it sounds good so it must be true.
** Rumoured to actually be light from a dimensional hidey-hole... as someone was reading (trying to read) a rune-smithing book!
*** NEW: To be fair there was a rope dangling from the 'light in the sky' and ‘passing through a dangling rope’ became ‘walking under ladders’ over time as, lets face it, ladders are much easier to climb than ladders and why would you pass under a rope! :S

Hmm... cinema

2008-01-17T17:08:19Z

I fancy going to the cinema but am really not that inspired by what is currently on! But things can be deceiving sometimes.

Anybody seen anything recently that they would consider worth watching?

Madcats action figure? What is yours?

2008-01-15T14:58:54Z

What action figure would you be?

I would like to propose one for Madcat.

Cooking pan in one hand, DVD in the other, and a ginger cat curled up on her head as a hat! :D

I'm currently working on mine..but...what would yours be?

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-21T15:55:23Z

Well this is possibly my last entry (from work for sure anyhow) this year but...

Merry Christmas!

Hope you all have a good Christmas period. Will be definitelly be seeing some of you. Best of wishes for the new year.

Take care,

2007-11-24T21:12:29Z

The other colour of my soul is black - apparently.

I should wear underwear in bed!

My spirit craves to be 'out of this world', ....I disagree entirely as there are many things in this one that i like :D

I am a 'protective angel' apparently...

I am a purple dragon (...eeek!)..and sometimes a fire dragon!

I am a dolphin animal as I like to help people and make them happy ... (this was from the shortest, wierdest quiz evor so i don't believe it!)

I am a round sapphire - however there really were not that many colours or shapes to choose from :S

I am a dragon lover (well dugh)....

The other quizzes I did were increasingly wierd and boring so I gave up being bored and looked for something else to do!

Hope you all having a fun weekend.

:o)

What color is your soul painted?

Brown

Your soul is painted the color brown, which embodies the characteristics of calmness, depth, nature, stability, tradition, poverty, roughness, down-to-earth, uncertainty, and neutrality. Brown is the color of the element Earth, and represents soil and, to a lesser degree, fertility of the Earth.

Think i need to learn to juggle!

2007-11-12T14:31:21Z

Work is ridiculous at the moment. (If you dont like rants then stop here...but this is my therapy at the moment....)

I have 5-7 projects on hold as I have no resources for them at all and more importantly no-one is pushing for them! People informed, people not bothered, give it time I may even cancell them.

There are another...5 or so projects being moderately pushed but I am waiting for parts, decisions, commitments, etc.....all good reasons to limit progress but frustrating as the way forward is clear but everything is on go slow...

hmmmm, then there is the 'pain in the rear end projects'.....unknown and unpathed, people want these immediately but do not follow though with additional information and ignore ~~polite~~, ~~formal~~,~~assertive~~, 'give me now' requests to help by providing as such!
...2-3 of these have to be completed by yesterday of course and involving progressively countless meetings, e-mails, decisions, analsysis, counter-decisions, ordering of pieces, parts, etc., etc...
..... each project becomes the flavour of the day...etc.,etc., etc...
...I'm just banking of someone walking up to me while I write this so I can tear a limb or two off them for a light snack!

..Oh, not to forget the 'little' and 'quick' queries or questions that need solving or batting away like you would an infectous mosi...
Either others don't know the answers, haven't thought things through or just don't have the *b*******s' to take decisive action.....

I am kinda resenting the ex-senior engineers' decision to return to Spain. It is so inconsiderate!...If this is what he had to put up with though I do have a new found very deep respect for him though!

Hmmm, meeting at 3:30pm. I wonder what my answer is going to be to any actions against me.

blah!

I faint...both cheques arrived!

Blah...wah...insurance companies

2007-10-25T16:14:30Z

Let it be said! I hate insurance companies.

After I was rear-ended/written off last year….
...12months later,
...over ten different people spoken to (all English),
...far too many phone calls,
...countless reasons/excuses (who cares they all blend into the same thing after a while)
...and finally a threat to contact the FOS*…and apparently the cheque is in the post…(well almost once I beat them up for an insurance reactivation fee!)

I am unsure how to take or whether to believe such news, but will not take it as 'good' news until the cheque has arrived and been cashed! Yes, pessimistic me.

So, how can one typical ‘average type’ conversation yield results that countless communications have failed to do so? Ideas!

My idea is ... maybe the FOS have super-powers, or maybe interest is sufficient now on my money!

If any of you are struggling to get your money back off your insurance company, may I strongly suggest you check their complaints procedure and don’t put up with their shite.

Threaten to contact the FOS as soon as the insurance company becomes lethargic and evasive at giving you your money...and then do it!
Via fax worked for me.

Grrrrrr……

*If you need to contact these I have details.

Wednesday night out...but no D&D...it's....ZOMBIES*

'Board' games have come on SOOOO much since I played them when younger (eek that makes me sound old!)
