I have no idea how to do what's going to be on my math test tomorrow. Well, techinically today as it's already 1:30am...

Oi! Summer school?

Oi! Summer school?

No, just over halfway through the school year, second week back. I live in Australia.

 

[CCRunner]

That sucks. Staying up till 1:30 isn't great for test taking either.

Rant: I got ONE hour of sleep last night. I just lay in bed for five hours!

Oh yes, the hemispheres!

Well if you don't know the answer, just make some silly remarks.

I'm getting really tired of people squatting conference room recently. It happened a couple of times in the past two weeks, but it's extremely annoying. I go through the hassle of booking rooms specifically because it helps everybody, only to come to the conference room and find it squatted by someone too lazy to book it. And the worst thing is insisting that he and his buddies go away would make me look like a butthole, so I end up having to relocate at the last minute.

I disagree with the bolded part. You booked it, they didn't. Tell them to go take a flying leap and kick their butts out. If anything it does them a favor because they now know the importance of booking their own room in advance.

What if you had gone through the trouble of having lunch catered in to that room in advance and the catering company was unwilling/unable to move locations along with you? No, herding the lazy one the hell out of there is a perfectly acceptable action.

I just realized that I missed most of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.

 

[holiday_hawk]

Man that sounds cool, how much of Shark Week is left?

 

[CCRunner]

The rest of the week

I was waiting for the train this morning, and there was a guy on the bench next to me who was obviously not right in the head. He didn't try and talk to me or anything, but it was still a bit creepy.

I wish it was that easy. But when the guy who is squatting the room has 8 people with their laptops set-up and is your hierarchical superior, I find it really hard to kick their butts out

The local desktop is suffering immense lag, and using 700MB of swap file when idle, for no particular reason. Antivirus scans are showing nothing and the Task Manager is reporting only about 200MB in use. What the hell is eating 500MB of swap file??

Quick, find a Q-Tip!!

Ah. Yes, that does change the situation. Hrm. I guess the next best thing is to anonymously begin some rumors about said superior and...oh...gerbils or something.

Complain to someone higher.
