When people leave things at your place which sound good but aren't. For instance, wine sounds good, but white wine doesn't.

Why couldn't it have been red?

I've just noticed that the underarm bit of my new tunic thing is larger than I realised so I have in effect been walking around showing off my bra without knowing. Classy :no

It's 9.45pm and my mom's still at work. She'd better be here in fifteen minutes or I'm gonna drag her home.

Next time someone leaves a bottle of red wine at my place, I'd be more than happy to trade you.

My supervisor told me today that his new way of protesting to manaagement about how understaffed we are is to stop reviewing anything his subordinates do and only work on projects specifically assigned to him, unless he has spare time. Which is really just him being a dick because he would rather we are the ones answering angry phone calls from clients when deadlines are missed. I spent half my day answering angry phone calls and replying to e-mails asking where projects were, when they've been sitting finished and untouched on his desk for weeks. I'll be going over his head about it tomorrow, but that will mean I'll also need to get switched to another super as he will definately hold a grudge over it.

I got confused and nearly got up an hour too early.. Considering I had had only two hours of sleep, that was kind of.. confusing.. What the hell, Puck?!

Took a detour this morning to get a breakfast at McD's (I had a taste for them egg and bacon mcmuffins and their coffee and fries). But it was closed! What the hell?

Also: first flight in my life coming on thursday. Dunno if I'm excited or stressed. I sure do hope it's excited! Also, a lot depends on the railways not screwing up. Murphy's Law is lurking behind the corner.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Just watch the movie Alive, think of it as a training manual.

:no

I find thinking of air travel in 2D helps and it's pretty exciting the first few times.

Nah, watch Airplane and Snakes on a Plane in preparation. They should warm you up nicely for your flight.

Ah, cool, short flight. I was going to give you lots of tips on how to make the flight easier, but basically on that one you'll just get to cruising altitude and then begin your descent.

The basic stuff is as follows: Ipod FTW, but only put it up loud if there's a screaming kid on board. Don't wear too much metal or have any dodgy stuff in your carry-on bag, otherwise going through security before boarding is a pain. Keep your passport and boarding pass handy for quick use - make sure you have the right seat before you sit down. Take a piss just before you board to avoid having to crawl over the inevitable fat guy to get to the toilet. Track pants are comfiest but on a short flight jeans will do you OK, and have a light jacket if the aircon is set too low. Carry a bottle of water and maybe a bag of suckable lollies, especially for the ascent and descent (ear pressure). Be nice to the cabin attendants, follow their instructions and pay attention to the safety brief.

That should cover you. Last but not least, try to get a window seat (get to the airport nice and early for fudge factor, and to ask the checkin attendant if you can get a window seat as it's your first flight, they might actually help you with that) and hope the air is clear and you're not over the wing, and hopefully you'll get a great view. :no

My body is stiff, sore and bruised. It hurts to move.

Though, on the plus side, it is because I spent the day playing with heavy machinery, drilling post holes and making a fort (I maintain it's a fort, not a cubby house!).

This is generally good advice, however I have a few different things that I do (I fly a round-trip about every month):

1) Wear shoes and socks that slip on and off easily. If they're laced, loosen the laces (you're not going to be sprinting and cutting a hard corner for anything).

2) Get an aisle seat and as far forwards on the plane as possible. You want to be able to get off the plane quickly. The window seat is nice if you've never flown before, but it's a pain in the ass if you're commuting somewhere.

3) If you're going for a weekend (3 days or so), a bookbag should be enough for everything you need. One set of extra underwear/socks/t-shirt, light rain jacket and a book to read.

4) Pick 2 out of the following 4 - camera/laptop/music player/video game system.

5) Wear nice jeans or comfortable khakis and a polo shirt, so when you go out, you're not noticeably out of style.

6) Do not go to a mall if you can avoid it. Explore.

Oh, and the person who sits in the middle of the row gets both armrests on either side - it's the payback for not having a wall to lean against or open space to stretch legs.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.
