    Well ... last night it started to snow like hell here. So in the morning I had to spend some additional time to shovel snow from the sidewalk (I might add that half an hour later the truck that removed the snow from the street came by and cleared the street by moving the snow back on our sidewalk ).

    As I lost some time for the shoveling I had to take a later train to work - it turned out that due to the heavy snowing a tree fell on the tracks so no train was going downtown for a while (to add insult to injury, the earlier train that I would have taken normally was the last one to get through before the tree fell).

    Considering the snow going by car was not an option either (traffic jam on the streets). So I got to work at noon to join a completely useless webex with a new vendor for a database we recently subscribed to - turns out the product looks rather semi-finished

    I want to go home now...

    Not strictley today but I had to watch Americas next top model on orders from Frau Apache, that was bad enough.

    What really got me was the way the models walk. Why oh why do they have to strut about like a victim of cerebal palsy with the calipers removed?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Woke up at 4am and felt cold. Turned up the thermostat a few degrees and...no response. Checked the pilot on the gas furnace and it's out. Tried to relight but soon as the reset button is released the pilot goes out again. Conclusion: thermocoupling has probably gone bad *on a 7 year old system*; time for a $150+ service visit *just what I wanted for Christmas*. Outside temperature a less than balmy 30F; why does this never happen in the summer?

    And just to confirm the "old wive's tale" that bad things come in threes, the cat's puking on every rug he can find, and the micro-wave oven just died. Maybe I should go back to bed and start over...

    Have my hardest final today.

    Yesterday it rained while there was a dust storm, so it rained mud and today it might snow. Im in the twilight zone.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I had to go to the garage to get our car fixed (problem with the brakes).

    On Tuesday, I usually start a bit later at work, so I got a rendez-vous today at 8.00 am. Last time I had to be there at 8.00 am, I was 30 minutes too late. It's normally a 5 minute drive, but I underestimated traffic jam, so this time, I left the house very early, only to find myself at the garage at 7.45 am

    It took until 8.10 am before someone showed up at the garage

    Ok, if they are quick, they can fix the car just in time and I'll be on time to go to work. Alas, the problem was a bit more complicated then first thought and the reparations will take an hour or two. Don't have time to wait that long, so I'll pick up the car in the evening (don't need it for work today anyway).

    So, I hurried to catch the bus at 8.39 am and at 8.35 I was at the bus stop. It was cold as hell this morning and I had to pee urgently (too much coffee ). Alas, can't do my thing against a nearby tree, because the bus can arrive every minute.

    Bus came through at 8.50 and I arrived 10 minutes too late at work

    Must take the bus back to get back to the garage tonight, if I'm lucky I arrive just before they close, otherwise, I'll have to take the bus back home and have to go to the garage again, by bus, tomorrow morning to pick up the car before going to work.

    Had a biology mock GCSE test yeterday...

    Did not realise there was another question on the last page So I didn't do it...

    It is worth something like 4-6 marks

    6 marks off a total of 45 marks and I didn't even do that well on the rest of them... !!!

    All is not lost however, because of my A*s from previous modules, I can still get a A* in total even if I get a B in the real thing! So getting a bad mark in the Mocks is not so bad... but still... not looking at the last page??? GAH!

    8 hours spent yesterday doing an essay, i though i was only going into the libary for a few hours, i arrived after nine and didn't leave university until gone 5!!!!

    it was dark and everything!

    My oven and my microwave have both gone!!!

    some problem with electrics by that bit or something...?

    Im hoping this may mean takeaway but more than likely it means toast and toasties.... i still have a gas hob i can use but i don't eat much thats cooked on that anyway...

    Also my mum damaged the toastie machine... it still works just a bit dodgy!

    God has decided im supposed to be deadly skinny... its the only explanation! i don't eat alot to start with and now he's destroying all my food warming devices...

    Today, at 17h15, I called an insurance company that stills owes me about 350,00 €; their payment is more then a month overdue.

    Guess what: answering machine: "you can reach us from Monday 'til Friday, from 8h00 'til 12h00 and from 13h30 'til 16h00."
