Do it yourself?

More like disaster it yourself.

I've been procrastinating for ages about painting my living room. Well, one and a bit walls of anyway.

So, I've done about half a wall, and decide to go back over what I've done, and send the paint pot flying. Most of it lands on the dust sheet I'd put down, unfortunately about a litre ends up on the carpet, I've got about half a liter on my trainers and trousers. I spent the next hour trying my best to clean ornage paint off a green carpet.

Well, mow I have a soaking wet spot where the paint went, which has an orange hue where the lighter bits of the carpet are. I see how bad it is when it finally dries.

Friends???

Some of my so-called "Friends" I've known from off-line sometimes make me wonder if they're worth the effort. You've seen the pissed-up rant about my crappy saturday, well the whole situation got me thinking after I got a message from said "friend".

I'll start with a bit of background. I'm not a suicidal person. I don't have suicidal tendancies, although some people would disagree after experiencing my driving, but occasionally I do think of it. Lets face it, everybody does at some point or another. Well, I was pretty down on the saturday, and left a message on her answerphone on th eway home after texting her trying to find out what the hell was going on earlier in the night. The gist of the message was that I'd had the crappest day, was looking forward to going out with her, that it wasn't meant to be, and that "Maybe I'll see you around sometime" and left it at that.

Now, she is one of the worst people at responding to messages, but the next morning I got a text message saying that she had to rush down to brighton to help a friend in need. Now honestly, how long does it take to write a message saying "Sorry, can't make it"

Now, another (female) friend had arranged a day out at THorpe Park just after easter (this was arranged about 3 weeks previous) as well as meeting up for an occasional curry and catch up. Now, she is even worse at answering calls ot texts, and it kinda gets annoing/depressing when it seems that your friends are ignoring you.

Ho-hum. Semi-depressing rant over.

Working (or trying to)

Bloody windoze pc's.

Seems that all the servers st work are windoze based, and have either been infected by, or are being patched for, the sasser worm.

It's getting kinda annoying as everthing I try to do, I either can't connect to the server, or the server is having problems.

Gahhh, blody virus writers. Try doing something uesful for once.

How wrong can you be

Ok, so it's official. There was more bad luck. Today was officially the worst day ever in my life. It beats the day I was dumped on the answerphone.

Besides the bad luck so far experienced today, I was walking to the bus. It turned up early for a change, and I started running over the grass to catch it. I took a pearler of a dive, got grass and mud stains on my newly washed jeans. Got some food in town (the oven is shagged), met some girls on a hen night and realised I knew at least one of them. Met up with them for a drink, then went off to meet the aforementioned girl and her friends. Met some people I've met before (and I'm talking fit girls here) and saw them walk out the door while still waiting.

So I'm in this bar after seeing two groups of girls walking out waiting for another group who never show, meet up with some more girls who are now in relationships since I last saw them.

So it's official. This is the suckiest day of my life, ,which as of today totally sucks.

ARGHHHH!!!!!!

OK, they say bad luck comes in threes, well I hope it's true.

OK, so we had the case incident earlier. Then I find that the floppy drive I've got is buggered, and just as I'm preparing to go out, my oven blows up in a most spectacular style. I thought next door had put their stereo on full blast again until I went into the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. After having a quick look, it turns out the rear element has shorted out, and blowing a hole in the back plate of the oven.

Anyways, here's hoping on the threes.

Speaking of numbers, had a quick tarot card draw, and things are looking promising tonite.

Wish me luck. ;-)

Geek Mode On

Arghh!!! Just had to make two 40 mile round trips to pick up a new PC case. Ordered a new case to put an old motherboard in to act as a server. Unfortunately when I got it home and unpaked it, it looked like someone had hit it with a forklift truck. Unfortunately it was the last one in stock of this style. That was trip one.

So, I phoned them up, and took it back. I'd identified an alternative of the same spec, which was a bit more expensive. The whole trip down there I got myself worked up for a big argument in case they decided to charge me the extra.

So, I get there and the customer service guy siad "Looks like that's taken a it of a bash" No shit sherlock!!! He looked up the one I'd selected, and said "It's a bit more, but I'll put it thru as a direct replacement." Score!! Pity I'd wasted that worked up energy, but at least it got sorted.

Oh and washing walls is bloody boring!!! Hence I'm here procrastinating again.

Oooh, a new toy!!

Arent' I an LJ junkie theis weekend??

Weellll, just downloaded an LJ client, just to see what it can do, and if it's any better than using the website entry. And guess what, it looks like is it!!

This weekend I've got lotsa stuff planned, but knowing me, I'll procrastintate (like I am now) and not do any of it. One thing's for definate I'm off out tonite, on the shark, getting drunk and no doubt causing a nuisance of myself. I really wanna get round to washing down the wall I took wallpaper off a couple of weeks ago so I can get some paint on it, the get the furniture back. (I hate people who do half-height wallpapering with a border. Gotta strip it off before you can do anything.)

Sod it, off to wash a wall.
