Gorth Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 I've concluded one reason I can be a master procrastinator about doing anything that requires leaving the house or more than a trip to get milk is that I don't like clothes. Or shoes. And thus I think the world needs to get past the notion that one has to have a certain amount of clothing or a certain standard of non-slovenly appearance in order to be socially (or even legally) acceptable. One of the advantages of living in suburbia and being a stranger to your neighbours, unless they show up with torches and pitchforks, you can pretty much not give a damn about appearances “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

Gorgon Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 The big news item over the last two days has been that it was going to snow. Infrastructure and traffic was sure to be doomed. On the spot reporters made sure that I was going to be the first to know the minuite it ... snowed. So, there was some snow. The busses are all still running. Nothing ever happens in Denmark. I mean sometimes you even long for an earthquake or a tsunami. No, not really, but it really is provincial. 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Raithe Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Grg. Got that last 8 days before I fly out and trying to sort out all the odds and ends. Which is when budgetary issues crop up, since I need to get a new phone (with quad-band), pick up a jacket suitable for the weather that as opposed to the heavier jackets I have in my wardrobe at present, a few bits and pieces of other clothes.. .. and to top it off my pc's psu is starting to make funny noises... Trying to make a list of all the small bits and pieces so I can work through it in some sensible manner, while also figuring out who can deal with things while I'm away. Make sure someones cleaning the kitty litter, someone's dealing with mom's drug supplies and sorting the pills out for those two weeks, the assorted odds, ends and general tasks that are likely to get forgotten about. On the one hand, this might make a good practice run for the family for dealing with things when I'm not around. Highlights any difficulties people have in stepping up to the bat for when I get a full time job or such. On the other.. the last time I was gone for 3 or so days no-one remembered to deal with the kitty litter, and I've been out for a day and come back to find mom didn't have a single thing to drink because no-one thought to see if she wanted one and she was having a bad day so she didn't make one herself...

Ywerion Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) It's not like it happened today Gorgon, but you are not alone. I did the same thing few years back on a holidays day off, on top of that I called my foreman asking why it's so empty today? And that's not even the top of glacier there were worse episodes. I wish you to have a good rest. Edited March 22, 2013 by Ywerion "Have you ever spoken with the dead? Called to them from this side? Called them from their silent rest? Do you know what it is that they feel? Pain. Pain, when torn into this wakefulness, this reminder of the chaos from which they had escaped. Pain of having to live! There will be no more pain. There will be... no more chaos." Kerghan the Terrible, first of the Necromancers, voyager in the Lands of the Dead.

Raithe Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well, after about 9 or so years using the same old Motorola phone on a Vodafone pay-as-you-go... It finally reached a point where I needed to upgrade. Having 3 hours of battery life (unless I actually made or recieved a phone call) did suggest a new phone was indeed needed.So I got to spend an afternoon browsing around various phone shops, and ended up on a "proper" monthly contract with a blackberry smart phone. Now the joys of learning all the ins and outs... and the software.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
