Back to work, but working from home. I keep falling asleep at my desk!

Good work on not explaining it for the rest of us ignorant and lazy people. tongue.png

 

Yeah, was a bit tired and forgot to include the link. But it's when you pinch someone in the bottom. grin.gif

 

That's weird. Those books are where I first heard the term as well!

 

Haha, nice! I would've thought it was a common saying. Might be more of an american thing maybe? original.gif

 

As an American who has also only heard it (from what I can remember) from the WoT books...I don't think so. It sounds like it could be British...or maybe deep South American? Not sure!

 

I heard of a lot while growing up in the 60's. By the late 80's it was disappearing. I hear it from the oldtimers like me.

Being the lazy and pampered brat that I am, I'm probably going to spend more of my day playing games. I might run some errands/do some chores. But that doesn't sound very fun.

 

I may go for a walk with the camera in a bit during/when I need breaks. It's been rainy and I do love taking waterdrop macros. Even if most of the time they're not very good ones. ;)

Doing end of year reviews, joy. Got myself a new SSD though, 480Gb Intel 730.

I just spent the last six consecutive hours reading through a 627 page MOP (engineering term... Method of Procedure) looking for redundancies, inefficient process, and cost savings.

 

I think I'm blind.

 

The only thing I can do now is play Morrowind and wait for Monday Night Football to start. Go Dolphins.

I achieved a feat of monumental proportions today.  As of right now, my Christmas shopping is essentially done.  I may still pick up a few doodads, maybe a joke gift or two, but those are all stress-free icing on the cake type things.  The important part is that the I got everyone covered with their "serious" gifts.  I can now enjoy a completely stress-free December...  well, free of the stresses of Christmas shopping, anyway.  This high five is for you, Cyber Monday:

My right ear has been driving my crazy lately and today its really bad. It does not hurt but the skin around the ear channel entrance itches in a way that it feels like like something big is trying to crawl inside it, in a very unsubtle way. 

 

My ear is unblocked and free from foreign matter and I'm sure there is no infection. Its highly annoying.

Last night I went to see Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds in Manchester.  It's the farewell tour so I thought I'd push myself out of my comfort zone, good job I did because it was a great show.  Missing the train home, freaking out and having to pay a fortune for a taxi was less than great but it's all part of the experience  :disguise:

Dry skin. Apply vaseline.

Trying to take mandatory training on accessibility while the fire alarm blares. Crappy start to the day

Watching a documentary to wind down ... Noticed that Bill Nye is kinda my stereotypical idea of what an historical American looks like. Oblong face, with sharp features and a stroke of grey... 'Lincony' ..

Fortune favors the bald.

I actually just heard it from Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear, funny how you seem to notice things like this everywhere when you start to think about it. :)

Ah, I don't have netflix sadly :<

 

I have'nt had much exposure to Bill Nye, but I've watched Carl Sagans Cosmos billions and billions of times :grin:

My last final for this semester is a week from tomorrow. I think I may buckle down over the weekend and study till my eyes bleed. Then get really drunk.

Well, that was easily fixed, thanks.  :blink:  And I already thought I had mites in my ears, like a filthy stray.

Going to the doctor tomorrow because I have had some health issues.. I'm expecting to hear some bad things, but I am one of the biggest pessimists in the world.

That's what happens when you back Liverpool. Hope it's nothing serious.

Liverpool will be the death of me.

 

Best case scenario, this is an infection and I'll get some medicine.

Wait, you don't have a food taster? How naive!

 

They're already dead but I didn't make the connection.

 

Liverpool winning two games in a row. Miracles do happen. We were still poor and they still gave me several heartaches.
