Coming into work today, you could forgive me for not being in the brightest of moods. The weather was absolutely miserable. In fact, nix miserable - it was positively emo. Cold, wet, windy, dark, overcast, and it had that irritating precipitation that's neither drizzle nor rain, but some god-awful hybrid that takes the worst qualities of both. One of the guys here called it sleet, but it's not even that.
In short, it was utterly crappeh. It was the dog shit you tread in once you're too far from home to turn back. It was the mouldly loaf of bread just when you really crave toast. It was the motorway traffic jam when you're an hour late heading for the airport. It was the Jade Bloody Goody of weather systems.
But was I miserable? No, quite the opposite. Despite the shitty start, and despite it being Monday, today was one of the first days in goodness knows how long where I was really up for getting a whole ton of work done.
So why am I surprised that someone's taken some installation discs that I need and not put them back again, thus rendering me unable to work today? I mean, really, why am I surprised?
Feel free to add your gripes here; I could do with a schadenfreude-fuelled laugh, and I'm sure everyone else could too!

Did my best to break my ankle at Edgware Road last night, despite being entirely sober - was rushing for a tube. Some daft bugger shouts "Keep going mate, you'll make it!" Thus distracting me, so... over I go...!  |

Today is meant to be the most depressing day of that year.

Today is meant to be the most depressing day of that year. I can back that up. I've got an exam on Dynamics & Relativity in 2 horus and it's still making barely any sense to me. Plus the uni websites being temperamental and refused to let me look at my lecturer's notes earlier, and it's best I don't shut them down as I might not be able to get them back if I do.  |

You shouldn't do last minute cramming, makes you even more confused and frustrated. Just chill  |

Today is meant to be the most depressing day of that year. The weather certainly lives up to the billing! Can't say as today is exactly depressing (yesterday was mine and my girlfriend's 6-month milestone [can't really call it an anniversary] so I've got little reason to feel depressed), it's just a pain in the bloody arse. Congratulations Jules - perhaps you'd like lessons from me regarding ignoring people while sprinting through London in future? |

It's ok, just hurts like fuck if I turn it in some directions! But also I had to do site visits this morning... was limping around the borough, waiting for a lone huntsman to see the wounded prey and shoot straight and true... etc lol  |

Awwww congrats I called every month an anniversary in my last relationship lol I came to the conclusion this morning that the monthly ones should be called Fish - i.e. yesterday was our 6-month Fish. No, safer not to ask. Thank you though Not sure my blood'd be good for you Jules - you may find yourself assailed with strange urges to wear kitty-ears on the underground and to pounce on guests at your doorstep! ;D |

No particular objection to your feline proclivities (no that isn't rude, random illiterates!) but I'm pretty certain that's not how blood "works", isn't it?! ;D |

Like women who can't stand violence of any sort suddenly find themselves really into boxing and such? Let's say nekocity is highly infectious Reflecting on it, donating my blood could be a very effective way to spawn an army to do my bidding... |

Is that the one where he loses his hand to some monster, and filled with impotent rage, screams out "GIVE ME BACK MY HAND!!!" (before realising that strapping a chainsaw to his stump is an effective way of killing zombies and other bad stuff...?! Sure I saw it once and thought WTF?! ;D |

Freezing though!
