Yeah, let me know if there's anything I can do. I'm having similar problems. I need to call to book an appointment for my research proposal to be reviewed by ethics commitee. Their number is always busy so I leave a message and the guy keeps calling me back when I'm on the toilet!! It's been going on for 2 days now!

Thanks all for the advice but since I'm not a dirty boy, I'll continue with my phone tag method!

On topic, today I have a terrible cold. I'm working from home. We hates working from home, it always makes me really depressed.

A very good friend of mine lost a friend in a car crash yesterday. They were only 25 years old. My friend's absolutely shattered and i have no idea what to say to her. She was apologising to me because we were meant to hang out on Sunday so I could show her SW:TOR but the funeral is on that day. All i could think to say was 'Dude. Of course.' :facepalm:

Got your first erection?

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.

Really wanted to play KoA:R, but the f**k**g shop where I ordered the game doesn't have it yet.

Sadly there's no option to cancel the order so that I can get the game somewhere else.

Groove-
Dues Ex: Human Revolution is simply not enjoyable. Its like an interactive film and is not what I wanted at all. Ive tried on two seperate occasions to get into it but its just not grabbing me. Maybe its because any game I played after Skyrimwas gonna look bad in comparison but really this isnt an enjoyable game.

it's official: my ankle is badly sprained. Again.

if past history is antyhtgn to go by, it'll take about a month and a half to heal. once I can even get the swelling to go down. Which won't happen Iuntill I stop being busy (which will be tomorrow after classes)

at which point' i'd have had 3 days to make a bad situation worse.

gah, I hate ankle injuries.
the kicker is: just prior to getting injured, I was composing a great plan of getting back in shape. grrrr....

Getting a crink in my neck from holding the phone to my shoulder. I was using my hand but after 10mins on hold I said screw this and went back to playing Amalur. 20mins later and still on hold. Usually I hang up by now but I'll just keep getting pestered if I don't sort it out. The annoying thing is there isn't anything to sort out - I'm on hold so I can tell them I don't have a problem. Sometimes customer service goes too far *sigh*

Pretty sure I have school today, but since I'm moving over to the outpatient clerkship, I'm not sure who I'm working with today since no one has got back to me. Day off? Or busy day for which I will most certainly be unprepared.

just counting on that 2 day weekend starting tomorrow

Really messing with my groove is that my brother is moving out of the house, and with him goes my parental buffer. They'll have free reign to harass me without fear of semi-public embarrassment.

Quasi-Messing with my groove is that Amanda Tapping (of Stargate fame) is the protagonist in a very (from the disparate episodes that I've seen) mediocre show that I just watched an episode of (which was amazing).

And now I'm going to have to torrent THIS show (Sanctuary) in addition to the 5 other shows in my queue.

@Stormy - yeah, Sanctuary has great potential, but I'm up to episode 9 and am kinda stalled, because the Monster-of-the-Week format is killing me, 'specially seeing as the monsters are somewhat...er...reflective of the low production value. Decent watch, though, I guess. I'll finish it eventually.

@Loki - oh, come ON. Every handset I've ever seen comes with a speakerphone option by DEFAULT, even the ones that are only like $50. And we're the comparatively behind-the-times tech country, here!
