La Mer

Well I’m just writing this to pass the time before my next lecture.
5 more minutes to go….Man this is an awkward keyboard to use.
Though I do dislike using any keyboards that aren’t my own since I not as proficient using them…
Still five minutes to go before I should start walking across the path to John Hume for a Developmental Psych lecture. To be honest I think I prefer sitting in these lectures to any other since I happily understand what is being said and find it fascinating to learn all these lovely reasons why people really shouldn’t have kids ’cause we’ll fuck them up either mentally or physically or both…..who knows…..such a wide variety of options.
Three minutes to go…fun fun fun fun….The light shining in through the window is slightly blinding me…..joy..
Fencing tonight. More brusies. Have a bit of a new one from monday when Kev got me in the arm pretty viciously…
Ah well one minute to go. So myself and Mr. Trent Reznor, who is singing to me through the earphones of my ipod, so probably begin the quick little walk to my lecture, after which I will be free til 8 this evening.
Isn’t life wonderful.

Sometimes slapping the monkey is just too much like hard work..

So, nice hypothetical situation for ya,

You have spent alot of time filling out an important form. You’ve worked until the very wee hours of the morning to be sure you got it finished and submitted on time. 9 hours early infact.
Afterwards, you come back from what should have been a productive week of studying and getting over the localised influenza epidemic, or black lung or whatever it was/is. At a meeting, you find out that said form was not found to have been submitted….It wasnt in the inbox at all…It was sent by email, so no one could’ve nicked it, but it’s plainly just not there. They reckon it was a glitch with the system since the email account it was sent to was updated recently….You’re certain it was sent becuase there’s a copy of it in the sent items box of email account it was sent from with the time and date.

Now you have to resubmitt it….It’s simple enough to resubmitt and to include a screen shot of the original submission, highlighting the date and time to prove it was sent, but when you think about it, it’s just so much hassle you thought you’d already washed your hands of. Will this relfect badly on you in future in the eyes of the authorities you submitted it to?
Maybe it’s just my mood right now, but it is just more work to an already bursting week or stuff.

Looking to my right I can’t help but notice the option to “Post Slug”……What is that when it’s at home? Is it like the normal garden variety of slug that fizzes and melts when it comes in contact with salt?
