stephbg: I made this! (Default)

That stuff I said? Just kidding

Today I asked a couple of work colleagues of many years standing if they would be prepared to supply character references for me. No, I'm not going to court (yet), this is for the volunteer thing, to establish that I'm not the kind of person who'd walk off with one of the coffee mugs. Or one of the horses. Hmmmm. No, no, of course not.



Despite years of threats, swearing and bitterness, one said yes immediately. The other paused for effect; he's known me longer. But he said yes, I think. In hindsight I shouldn't be surprised: these people have clocked up who knows how many hours of observing me work with Microsoft products and I haven't *actually* killed anyone that they know of. That's calm under provocation all right.

Mostly.

Of note, I was at work when I asked - yay! Managed three whole hours today. Looks like the flare has mostly settled, and the nerve pain has just stopped. Feel a bit creaky, and tingly and stabby, but that's practically bliss in comparison. If I'm a good girl I sometimes get to feel nothing.

Massage on Friday!

I have resumed zinc supplements.

Bought a horse body language book online today for a pitifully small amount and a ridiculously large shipping and handling fee. Still, the total came to what I'd be prepared to pay in person, so as long as it actually turns up, all will be well.

Was made happy by a new Big Bang Theory episode with Wil Wheaton. Gaming jokes, I gets them.

ETA: Wow, that's a lot of tags.

This I did not know. Drhoz and I have inhaled season 1 & 2 on DVD, but we were unaware season 3 was on free-to-air. Shows how often we watch FTA these days... we may have to download the one's we've missed.

There's a good one with Katee Sackhoff in it in 4 episodes. :)

Yesterday's was the first new one on FTA for some time, and I've been keeping an eye out for them.

Annnd... I think you also just pinpointed one of the reasons we wait for the DVDS or download.

Though I used to take the moral highground on downloading. Then Katee Sackhoff was on BBT...
