Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[TordelBack]

As I watch the blizzard outside, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that one of my colleague's unbelievably s-l-o-o-o-w work today is a ploy to ensure that we get snowed into this horrid office over Christmas so that she can murder me with an axe.   I'd planned to get out of here by 12, and I'm only waiting on her so that I can  lock up.   On the other hand  all work and no play make TB a dull boy all work and no play make TB a dull boy all work and no play make TB a dull boy... or should that be "black snow will fall forever"?

I have spent all afternoon going round shops not being able to find what i went out to the shops for.Useless.

Another thing i have been looking for is low energy LED lightbulbs.I mean the type that replace incandescent lightbulbs as i have an aversion to low energy CFL lightbulbs and i wont have them in the house as they are unhealthy and give off a horrible quality of light.Yet more Crap that the govt imposes on everyone.It seems like there is no choice whatsoever unless i buy online.I found some low energy halogen lightbulbs which will suffice for the time being.

Ha exactly the same with my DFS delivery - shoulda seen their faces when they pulled in and I told them I was 3 floors up! My God , you'd think I'd just asked to suck 'em off as a freebie!!

Good grief that's quite a tip you were willing to make.

Well, Couch Debacle 2010 rages on. When we called that night to find out the score we were told it would be with us within the hour. It wasn't.

They then told us it would be delivered this morning. It wasn't.

They then told me they would call tonight to arrange a date. They did! For New Years Eve, which sounded all sorts of great to me.

Unfortunately they booked another 30ft truck before reading the notes on the order so called back immediately to cancel it again. Apparently they're now going to call me tomorrow to arrange delivery some time next year. Hopefully.

Disgraceful.

They sound like dipshits to me and i would have lost patience with them by now.

Bloody stereo died this morning, just spent an undisclosed period of time ripping it apart to get the thing to work. Thank God brute force works wonders, as we can now play our Christmas CD's.

The cupboard shelf that holds all the plates broke in the night- causing all the plates to crash down onto the cups and glasses.
Shit.

Probably caused by sleigh-landing vibrations. I'd sue.

I was supposed to be meeting a friend today but unfortunately the friend emailed their mobile no wrongly as it is not being recognised after dialling it which is a complete pain as i cant make contact so therefore i cant go anywhere to meet up.

This is the kind of thing i get tired of as its not really that difficult to memorise your own phone number correctly and write it down correctly.I have tried calling others who would have the correct number but of course they are not answering the calls.

Fucking useless.

A real pro could keep going without little luxuries like those.

Recently, my mouse broke in the middle of a TF2 session. But I didn't back down, I just switched to my Wacom tablet and charged back into battle, spinning around in circles and firing continuously.

DVD region coding

I have yet to hear a convincing reasonable argument for the existence of region coding.
