RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I have had a Day. Just drank four Budvars in quick succession and only tasted the last one.

Committed acts of screwdriver upon a number of shiny new SunBlade 2000s (they're purple! And they glow!) and crusty old Ultra 10s. You would believe how much dust and crud the latter accumulate in the course of three years on the floor of some geologist's cubicle. Putting the cover back on an Ultra 10 is an exercise in pain ... at least if you bent the front flange so much getting it off that you can't work out what the hell you did or how to get it back on. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK. Got home an hour late and dived into my friend the bottle. I so have no wish to perform any administrative task upon my home PC right now.

Currently onto a mix of Midori and tequila. This combination, alarmingly, works. For some values of.

I really do not know what the fuck is up at work - this has been the busiest week I've ever had at this job. Provably, in tickets closed per day. (My Valuable Final Product.)

Now onto the Southern Comfort. Oh my God, I'm a peroxided permed nineteen year old bogan chick!

Oh - 22nd January 1997, Billy Mackenzie died.

Today's favourite friends list post: The BBC and the Linux Penguin.

I love the way that after the confusion, that BBC Linux penguin story ended up with a picture of The Sopranos at the top, for no apparent reason, and the penguin captioned "The Linux mascot is a penguin called Tux" even though it's not a picture of Tux. Oops!

So another blissful stress-free day at work then? ;)

Weren't some of the Sopranos cast at a Linux-related bash organised by IBM or HP or some such?

[dcarson.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know. If so, I didn't see it mentioned in that article. :-)

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

So it seems. It's still not making sense, though.

Just under the picture of the penguin. In the current version of the piece, anyway.

Everyone loves a bogan! I wonder if I'm the only one who got the meaning of that word, or is it a common English word too?

I haven't the slightest notion what 'bogan' means, but you sound like my kinda trash, baby...

[reddragdiva]

They do not understand. And I am not going to tell them.

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I met it in a book once. Shall I stay shush?

[reddragdiva]

I have found what appears to be a correct Scottish translation; there's probably an Essex one.

MIDORI AND TEQUILA???

You, my friend, are a MENTALIST!

I had two Budvars t'other day and cd not cope with the joystick on the N64 control pad, never mind the whole box of messiness that R being a PC. I think you had the right idea.

And some people wonder why IT staff tends to drink and smoke so much ;)

I work very hard to keep my typing accurate when pished, as in this entry.

Try Midori and tequila. You can be a limp-wristed pooftah if you like and start off with two parts Midori to one part tequila, and work your way up to the 1:1 mix that God intended. But you will notice what I do: the combination of the girly lolly drink and the thing that turns bad ideas into good ones. Dangerous.

Oh.

Hi! My name's David, and I'm functionally illiterate!! :-)

Oh dear, I missed this in my friends list when you originally posted it *smooch* Call me when you can.
