lacking in appropriate expletives



#$@!!%$@ing bus companies. i just waited more than half an hour before giving up, and then i had to walk a ways anyway because it wasn't the right line. couldn't they post a bloody sign to say that the bus route's changed due to roadworks? no, of course not. that would be considerate of people who need to take the bus at 23.30.

*blood-curdling roar*

i don't know that i worked so much today (in the army). lots of today just kind of happened along. memorables (really, in no particular order): teaching c++ for about half an hour; almost finishing the stupid developer thing, and spending an hour studying code that was fine (i didn't know you need to BUILD the thing at EACH AND EVERY run); some good down-time with a really cute girl from the farm; chilling with spuzz; lunch with the mongoose; being excused from the team meeting (my commander realizes that i can't deal with too much hebrew all at once).

i worked a LOT afterwards. grootbek just got hired by the company we share offices with (he's already bitching and planning on ditching), but he did manage to remember to bring the video of my last taekwondo fights. it's only taken me two years to get hold of them - bastard sportsmaster had the fucking thing all along >@

i worked on three or four projects concurrently, and had tons of trouble with the support company. i have a list of things to do, all of them urgent, and simply not enough time. did i mention i love this job? i LOVE being overloaded with REAL work. i HATE being overloaded with bullshit like i have been in the army for so long.

there's possibly a workaholic in every one of us. careful, guys!

i overheard a lover's spat (one-sided from a phone, next to my desk while i was working so i couldn't avoid it), and an interesting question was raised. what makes us like / dislike certain people more than others? is it fair to put a thing like that into words? the second you voice a reason for disapproval you can probably name quite a few people with that same trait, where you ignore it because of the positives. this paragraph brought to you by mental masturbation, inc.

no c++ today, even though i've thought a lot about the problems i was presented with. no time!
