Didn't know where to put this, but - look out for good online discounts now, folks. Ebay just gave me £10 off an order (no catch) and Gap UK have 40% off everything online.

I've seen before that when I've won an auction it's offered something where you claim a reduction, but it's some scam where you have to sign up for something. It's difficult to differentiate the genuine offers from the scammers.

It would have been Peggy Lee's 100th birthday yesterday. As you were. It was Suzy Quatro's 70th birthday (blimey) two days ago

Late yesterday, I had an engineer send me something to edit. I think it's supposed to be the start of a technical brief or abstract or something. I marked up the shit out of it and sent it back, telling him that it has to have the semblance of organized thought before I can edit something like this.

DID YOU KNOW
the phrase 'the elephant in the room' probably comes from a Jimmy Durante sketch?
this has made me very happy!

Don't know much about RS, but he might have been more talented. Schnozzle was definitely funnier.

I was talking to my fire chief friend who lives in Spokane and he was saying I should sell my house in Eugene and move up there.
I asked him isn't he moving to Phoenix when he retired next January and he said he was.
I asked him why should I move to Spokane then.
He didn't really have a good answer.
I don't want to move to Spokane.
I think I'm going to move in next to Coan and play my Led Zeppelin albums as loud as the stereo goes. Sync listen every night.
He's going to enjoy having me as his neighbor.
Right, John buddy?

Earlier while getting something to eat, some dickhead was in the line talking on the phone while also trying to order a wrap. He's getting more pissed at the server asking questions of what HE wants, like she's interrupting him talking on the phone. All the while he is holding up the queue. FUCKHEAD PICK ONE, Ordering a wrap or talking on the phone.

Yeah, I hate that. You should have nudged his elbow, told him to hang up. Fucking idiot.

Edging closer to a job hopefully.
Went for a tour of a school today - met the headmaster, who's essentially Santa Claus in looks. It's a small private school about a 15 minute drive from me, with 180 pupils. Class sizes of around 15 at the very most and all in delightful grounds. The school specialises with some SEN needs and looks like it caters to kids who can't get in on the 11+ that still operates in Kent. It'd be totally ideal for me I must admit - I'd be the only History teacher and would be able to shape the curriculum as I wish.
