  • And yet another taggy thing

    6 weird things about me:

    1. I have a plastic Eeyore bookmark stuck to my work laptop for no good reason.

    2. Said laptop is called "Pickle".

    3. I will lead a sing-song without provocation or inebriation.

    4. I have had a navel piercing since I was 19.

    5. I panic if I don't have either knitting or something to read within easy reach.

    6. I wear more than one hand knitted item at once.

    SACRED RULES OF THE TAG:

    THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE MUST REVEAL SIX (6) WEIRD THINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES (weirdness is a relative thing, so perhaps you think it's normal) and POST THIS WEIRDNESS UPON THEIR BLOG (and send me three extra days in the week)THEY, IN TURN, MUST TAG SIX PEOPLE UNTIL FINALLY SOMEONE GETS REALLY PISSED OFF.


    I tag:

    Ed_Kaz (look, there's nothing in the rules to say I can't do this)

    Plus the five other people I tagged in the last post, because I'm too lazy to think of anyone else.

    So sue me.  Today's post has gone out of the window, but it involved the announcement that I've cast on my Sockapalooza socks, and I think I like them.  Toe up, two circulars, with a new method for a flap heel (to come from my sensational knitted socks book) since that's what my pal prefers.

    I've just learnt something.  The crumbliest, flakiest, milk chocolate in the world should not be eaten at one's desk unless the keyboard has been protected first.  Gets in all the cracks you know.  In the meantime, I give you, harrassment in the office:


    "What are you wearing for your birthday?  Your birthday suit?"  (Kirsty suggested that I should reply to this with "Biscuit crumbs!" since it was uttered by the Biscuit Fantasist.  However, I suspect he'd only offer to lick them off if I said that, so it's a good thing that I didn't think of that.)


    "When I am prime minister, I'm going to pass a law that you're not allowed to wear skirts any longer than that one."


    This would be Former-Football-Hooligan.  I'm wearing that skirt today.  Hang on.  I can put in a photo.....

    Reply to comments:  Please, bear in mind, when deciding how weird I am, that I work in an office full of extremely sexist guys.  In this context, wearing a short skirt is slightly weird behaviour - since they wouldn't wear one.  And as for knitting?  Well, they're intrigued by it, but they certainly wouldn't freak if they themselves didn't have any to hand.  As for books: well, if they do read them, they don't advertise it.

    Does no-one check that we actually need the mailing list before we migrate it to the new system?  Apparently not.  I wonder how many more there are like this.  I wonder how much time I've wasted so far.

    Actually, I wonder how long it's going to be before the combination of emails, HESA returns, and general daily tasks tips me over the edge.  Not long, if the current rate of progress (or lack thereof) continues.  I feel completely overwrought.  And my problems are miniscule.
