footfootfoot--Nice clip. I love that show. back at most recent employer the PHB had one of those (and a stable of other ... four wheeled penile prosthetics). I never did score a ride in one dammit. anyway... did the driver say that the red devil was only descending at 30 miles per hour?! he could *ALMOST* land it at 30mph. wow.

I think it's at least partially real--in Arizona, they have these things that they deploy whenever there's an accident or stalled car. They're like giant unfoldable walls that are about 15 feet high, and they just stand them up around the entire accident so there's absolutely no way you can see what's going on. Traffic just zips right by.

Edit: I say Arizona, but actually, the only place I saw them was in Phoenix when I was visiting. Could just be a local thing.

My whole family is sick. The big boys have been off school all week, and Max is snuffling and coughing all over the joint too. Dazza has a cough he can't shake and I just keep almost getting better then getting sick again over night.

It really sux and I'm sick of it. Please God or anyone else who can help, make us all better!

The fucking right click on my mouse is working erratically. My everyday printer has clogged pores or arteries or whatever.

Too little time to spend in the shop. And when I do get in there, I usually need to build a tool or something tangential to what I want to be doing.

Yesterday afternoon, I pulled out the trash bag to throw out when the bottom let out and half of the stinky content fell back into the trash can. ARGHHH!!! Some, including the chicken bones, fell out and scattered onto the floor around the area. My sister brought a new bag for me, but she left because the stench would make her gag. I was on my own dumping the nasty trash out and picking the ones to put into the new bag. I have a dull sense of smell so I can handle nasty smell pretty well, but I almost gagged this time. Sigh....I ended up cleaning up the tall trash can, meaning I had to stick my head into the can to clean, clean the kitchen floor, scrub the kitchen slippers, and while I was at it, I cleaned the toilet, bathtub, bathroom sink and floor. Everything is clean now, which is good. But the foul smell put me in a really nasty mood.

Ungrateful bitchy child.

Oh and (former) Swim team having pool rental raised from $3,000 to $44,000 effective immediately without warning. Oh and being asked for my input/advice when they got the ominous "we need to talk about pool rental" and then not being thanked for my input or included on the bad news/results of the "we need to talk" That's just downright rude.

$3,000 to $44,000!? What an enormous jump!

Been waiting for a book for two weeks now.
Okay it was 99p.
Okay I chose free shipping.
But I'm sure it should have been here by now!!

No post on Sunday and yesterday was a Bank Holiday (no post) so I was sure it must arrive today.
Nope.

It's like waiting for a toy from a ceral packet to arrive...
Except I'd generally lost interest in them by the time they turned up, and I will still devour this book.

It's just SO LONG COMING!!!

If I had more belief in myself as the centre of the universe, I'd think it was taking so long because I spent every day wishing for it.
But I'm too old for such nonsense, and know it will get here some time after it was posted, wishing or not.

Fingers crossed it's tomorrow!

I'm an impatient bitch, is what it is.

Mum, Dad and I were all out of the house at the same time today. Probably the first time in a month.
What happened?
They tried to deliver something that didn't fit through the letterbox.
I have to wait until 14.30 to collect it.

So something is waiting for me - exciting.
But I'm STILL waiting - bloody hell!
