OT - life's little pleasures

Nov 30, 2003 34 Replies

Watching some classic World Wrestling with Isaac about 7am Saturday morning featuring Stunning Steve Austin - a big difference to the Stone Cold Steve Austin of present day World Wrestling Entertainment.

Let the Rayburn go out and cleaned it - I looked like I'd climbed in it by the time I'd finished.

Made some clay decorations for the Christmas Tree with the kids.

Finally got to watch the Two Towers DVD without getting interupted.

well, it wasn't saturday. but i spent all today (wednesday) cleaning up the shed after we copped a massive flash-flood. 120+mls of rain in only a few hours. our backyard was 60cms under-water. been a great day emptying out the

8 years of collected crap in the shed, washing it out then putting it all back in. minus the crap we're leaving for hard-rubbish collection. fences have all come down. everyone's out cleaning garages etc. great community event.

back to the shed.

there are one or two there. Mind, I've yet to see one that looked worth travelling as far as some of them are from me. There was a brand new never-fitted one which went for 400 notes, minus components.

On the subject of tidying we have a visitation from the FD of a major client tomorrow, so are clearing up the office.

Thus far I have found (new and shrink-wrapped)

i) 2 copies Dreamweaver ii) 3 copies Freehand iii) 4 outers of photo-quality paper iv) 2 80Gb hard drives v) 2 copies Adobe Illustrator

Plus my expensive headphones (not seen for over 2 years), the contract documents I desperately needed 6 months ago etc etc

You shouldn't torture yourself looking at what you missed. Its like listening to the lottery results with a set of numbers you know off by heart and realising you could have won something if only you'd bought the ticket.

That's why I use a different set of numbers whenever I do the lottery.

I wasn't torturing meself, I'd already decided it was going to high for me, especially as it wasn't really the spec I wanted. I was watching the item, initially I thought about bidding on it, but it went too expensive quite quickly. There's a beaut of a rebuilt P6 version in Northern Ireland ATM, which might be worth it if it goes cheap enough to cover the additional expense of getting it back here.

I always forget to do it and Bruce isn't much better, so we don't bother with it.

Thats some impressive tidying!. When my offices get tidied it usually turns out software and computer components that go straight in the bin!. I found some bbc software the other day... I need a copy of dreamweaver. Its too expensive though :(

When I got into the office this morning it seemed to have been distributed to the poor and needy. The only other possibility is that my staff have helped themselves to it....

Hey ho, off to staples I go...
