The Oscars opening. Too funny. Jeff Bezos writes a check the bank bounced lol. I love the first season of the Irishman.

Why not put it on the pay it forward thread?

The printer's been there already - no one interested, suspect for same reason.

I can't confirm that the other stuff works.

FB trolls.

Especially the 5/7 saga

I think I'll take a work hiatus for a year when I turn 45. Feels like it's about halfway between the start and end of a career...

The smell of ground coffee

Weekend away booked for end March

Finally patching the slow puncture I had in my one rear tyre, necessitating a couple of seconds of air from the compressor (my foot on a flimsy foot-pump) every three or so days.

Now it keeps a solid 230kPa like it ought to

Packed lunches. (it takes the guess work out of it, saves on money and the hassle of having to go somewhere or order)

The times at which these notificationx occur. MyBB can predict the future.

If you don't already have one, a thermo flask is a really good investment during these troubled times.

Nothing like boiling a flask full of water the night before to have a cup of piping hot coffee when you wake up to a bout of rolling blackouts

We also bought one last year, and been very happy with it. We haven't finished the first 9kg bottle we bought with it, and we use the stove maybe five or so nights every week

I told someone in the office if he doesn't come to our beer lunch then he'll get piss in the eye. Surprised he said, "we're does that come from?!"

So I told him a tale from my childhood - a true story.

You see once in a blue moon on a Sunday my mom would be in a good mood and make us milkshakes, a nice treat instead of the usual Sunday ice cream. You had the choice of banana or chocolate. My sister and I were most grateful when this opportunity arose. My brother on the other hand was the spoiled one. So I took banana and my sister and brother opted for chocolate. It was delicious - however my brother complained, he said, "it's not chocolatey enough". So my mom added some Nesquick. Then the brat quipped "now it's not sweet enough". By this time my mom was getting irritated. She added some sugar and handed it back to him "Yuck!" my brother shrieked. "This is too sweet!" My mom was having none of it, seeing as my sister and I were all too happy with what we got. She said to my brother, she be like "Listen to me, you will finish that milkshake or I will......" she paused "... or I will piss in your eye!"

I miss my childhood.

We also using a gas stove. Lovely.

Can cook and prepare food even though eishkom's fapping away.

@Rouxenator with comedy gold again. It explains some of your kinks... but not all of them.

Pleased with the progress the department has made towards answering year end audit queries. I expected worse.

Having both Friday meetings cancelled. Yey.

Moving from a hot office to a cool server room. Bliss.

 

[The_Librarian]

Getting my daily dose of Schlock.

Done a physical inspection of the server room during switchover to generator (loadshedding) - everything is OK and nothing fell over.

It's a Friday.

More importantly, it's read-only Friday
