Happy Friday the 13th!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

So, anything... odd, untoward... happen to you today?

Not that it should. I'm just curious. It makes for fun storytelling when odd things happen on a day that is generally regarded by the superstitious as "unlucky".

Everyone should celebrate this day. By walking under ladders and breaking every mirror they can find. Really!

Well, I'm at work and my email-program has totally crashed.
This means that I cant emails from my boss telling me what to do :o
Good or bad? You be the judge.
Can't believe I'm still here.

Not superstitious enough to blame the date for it, but some sniverling little *%#* broke into my shed, my caravan (which I use as a shed) and my coalhouse (which I also use as a shed) and nicked most of my tools and all my work gear. This included all my PPE and corporate clothes and my ID/warrent card. Juding by the stuff they discarded all over mine garden and the garden next door, they actually wanted that stuff. And they came tooled up - botcropped all the padlocks off.

So there is someone out there who can now impersonate an Environment Agency officer. Why they would want to is beyond me!

And they got my digital camara - bastards. :x

I was up until after 2am and back up again at 6.30. They must have een waiting for me to go to bed........

I only have good news so far: I heard that I will get the keys for my new house next week! It's a lot bigger than I have now, in a much more central location, plus my boyfriend will be moving in as well. Fun and a bit scary. :)

Something not so nice today is that I haven't seen the sun at all! Only grey skies and fog. When can we have spring again?

My exhaust fell of on my way home and I spent an hour and a half freezing to death in my car waiting for the recovery truck :(

I'm now on the verge of superstition. It will all hinge on whether I get fleesed tommorow when I go to the garage for a new exhaust ;)
