Why the fuck can't idiots just let the past lie in the past?

Picking at scabbs is what families do.

That sucks, RLY.

Messing with my groove: agreed to meet for a drink with the girl with whom I had a one night stand - who's now chasing me.
So I guess it's time for that "I'm sorry, but as I repeatedly mentioned before and in all honesty: I think you're a nice girl, but I really don't think you and I can be an item" talk. Tis the adult thing to do, but I know that regardless of whether it resolves stuff or not, it will bother me for a while.

Poor guy.

I have a killer rash. Shit itchy as sin.

show up wearing He-Man underoos, a fringed leather vest, and an eye shade like poker dealers wear in the old Western films. Smear chocolate pudding on your legs from knee to ankle and eat 500g of garlic & onions. Arrive at the date like this, riding a bicycle with training wheels complete with honking horn. Make sure it's in a part of town you don't need to return to within the next 15 years. Undesired affection will die like tender grass shoots before the avalanche

Might be easier to get some more sex, drink pure grain alcohol to numb the pain, and then have the adult talk.

Seeing how the bar is literally next to the work place, I can only thank you for the advice and regretfully not act on it. A real shame that is, too, because it has been years since I last attached the training wheels to my bicycle

Got back from SE night in Hull to find my carpet pulled up in the dining room and leakage from my roof due to the freakishly localised STORM we had whilst I was on my nerd trip.
Crazy stuff!! My shed is flooded as well!!

While I was in hull, it were 25 deg blue skies. Nice.
Just drooling over my signed books and trying not to hate Bellway.
There will be a reckoning you shoddy bastards!

Morgy, by at home I meant the glorious nation of norn iron, not my home home.
My family knows better than to pick at my mistakes

Turn up wearing a plain suit, order a soda water & state you are now a Jehovahs witness & want to bring her into the light before you marry her. That should send her fleeing...

The mandatory evacuation for my Neighborhood has been lifted. No damage. So from a selfish viewpoint that makes me happy. But I am posting in this thread because there are still mandatory evacuations for neighborhoods to north/west of the city. The fire is 15% contained from latest reports. But the most sobering news has been that 300 + homes have been destroyed with one confirmed death and one missing (which is an amazing statistic). The area with the destruction is about 3 to 4 miles from my neighborhood so that is how close this thing approached. SE and ICE often use the word "conflagration" in their writing. I truly have a humble appreciation for the power of that word. Finally, please support those heroes who keep us safe, those who go towards the flames while we flee from them. Please support your fire and police departments, the first responders, the medical personnel, those that setup shelters and all the support staff. All of whom work tirelessly with few hours sleep.

Why is Olivia Munn famous? The talented piece of trash annoys the hell out of me.

I wish ill on her and all those who raised her up.

I tried to dye my hair, the foil gloves I used seem to have had a hole somewhere, as half of my left hand is black now.. and it won't go away.. *sigh* Here's hope the whole mess was worth it..

I think I may know why...


Messing with my groove is how horrible the weather is & how I have to walk around in it for the next 6 hours... And the new waterproof fleece they gave me seems to be holding out the water but is uncomfortably warm...

Heh...just go and see Magic Mike (I saw it yesterday) and you'll think Olivia Munn is freaking Meryl Streep compared to the other female lead, Cody Horn. My cat has probably coughed up hairballs with more acting talent than that woman.

My cough just won't go away.. And my breathing is restricted. Third week and counting. Meh.

Birthday and at Work

I think I am being ever so slightly bullied at work! I'm not generally an easy person to bully which is why it has taken me a while to realise what's going on. This new very senior guy keeps criticising every tiny little thing I do to the point where I get very minor butterflies in my stomach every time an email comes from him. I think he's often in the wrong but when I try to speak to him about it he talks over me until I get frustrated and give up fighting my corner.

I would avoid him but I'm managing the scientific side of a collaboration and he is managing the business side. I have known the collaborators longer and they have told me off the record that he's a patronising arse and if he doesn't change his manner they will end the collaboration. I'm waiting to be summoned by another senior manager after asking for a meeting to discuss the problem. How do you not come over as a wimp when accusing someone of jeapordising a collaboration due to poor personality and bullying? There's not really any evidence other than email tone and accumulation of nitpicking about minor issues. Gah, awkward pointless problem.
