Had to endure Rolf Harris CDs at work today >_<

Whilst drilling 260 holes (well, okay, I've got about 90 odd left to go..before the galvanizing truck arrives tomorrow) >_<

Wasn't helped by people coming up and saying "Ack, what a soul destroying job, eh?". Gee, thanks.

The battery on my PowerBook has gone a bit funky. Said it didn't exist, then said it would take 19 hours to charge, then decided actually it was fine. Hmmm.

I don't know what shoes to take to Canada.


Spoke to my Big Issue seller today (mine...heh. Tha guy I buy my BIssue off, anyways). He's going in to see his surgeon soon. They're gonna amputate his leg below the knee. He refused that three years ago, but after trying everything else, now he wants it done. He was quite out of it on pills today. I feel sorry for him, although he seems quite sorted. Anyways, I like to think that sitting with him and chatting for a bit helps him pass the day, y'know.


Matty approached me today, holding out a set of workshop keys...

Matty: Elf, can you open the paintstore for me?

Me: Sure...why?

Matty: I can't do it.

Me: Why....?

Matty: There's a spider...I can't even go out there, will you?

Me: ::laughing:: Sure.

So I had to get a broom and catch the spider, set it free a safe distance away, sweep down all the web, open the paintstore and check for further spiders. Then go and find Matty and be with him whilst he checked that I'd de-spidered the area sufficiently. I had, so he could carry on knowing he was safe. awwwww.
