Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Me neither. Finished work about 3 hours ago, bloody starving now but no food in the house. What makes it worse is that I'm on a split shift tomorrow (12-4 then 6-2) so I'll get f**k all sleep tonight followed by a cruelly long day.

While getting a little drunk in Prague...I staggered back to my hotel room, raided my minibar (godbless expenses :ph34r: ), and fell asleep while eating a snickers. Unfortunately, when I woke up, said Snickers remmnant was still on my bed, but had melted under my body heat into a gooey brown mess.

I don't think I need to tell you what thats going to look like to the hotel staff. :(

I did not, xbl does not shit himself. Currently at a conference listening to talks that have no interest to me whatsoever, and waiting to present my own work (nervous, so nervous).

Still, "social evening" tonight, so I will be partaking in one or two drinkies. Its hard work is this conference lark. :(

Last conference I went to, this romanian guy had to give a presentation, English was clearly his distant second language, and he'd never seen the slides before, he was a fucking mess! took him 15 minutes to churn out 4 hesitant sentences, you'll be fine - you can't be any worse than that guy :lol:

And yeh, it's the same everywhere isn't it, I don't give a f**k aobut other people's work, the whole point about PHd work is that it's largely unique, which means you can't glean much insight from other people's workmanyway!

Aye, there are some badly spelled presentations out there, but also a few really interesting ones. You gotta admire the foreign guys who can stand up and give presentations in English, no matter how halting! Imagine if we had to do a talk in Czech?

Still, the hangovers cleared (can I claim expenses on 2 bottles of wine with a small meal?), Im not drinking over lunch, and I will be ready to rant and rave like a hairy scary madman at people first thing this afternoon. :D

And no, I don't care overly about other peoples work either, specially diverse stuff like this one!

We didn't win the battle of Waterloo so we would have to speak foreign languages donchaknow! ;)

When people leave the game when they're getting gubbed at Fifa!

I was 0-4 up away to Barcelona with Hibs after 65 mins and they left once the 4th went in!! :angry:

That pisses me off too.

I got humped 9-0 once :lol: and stayed to the end. It's not the other persons fault that I was shite.

Frikkin cyclists, why in Holyrood park do they insist on using the road when there is a cycle path that runs alongside the road? I know, it is to hold up car tax paying motorists and prevent them getting to work on time. Also the ridiculous amount of roadworks going on in Edinburgh at the moment is phenomenal. Could they make it any more inconvenient to get to work?

Felt a bit cold and shivery yesterday afternoon and only had a couple of scoops in the local before abandoning the football to go home. Just as well as five minutes later, with my stomach acting like a coffee perculator, the world fell out of my bottom. :o My stomach is still growling a bit today and I've got streaming eyes and a runny nose - some sort of virus I suppose. :(
