I had two weeks on site with a client who was having an argument with the powers back in London. We couldn't do any work [not allowed to] but had to be on site [so as not to breach contract]

I was on a contract where I was told not to do any work for 3 months. My management was trying to prove a point that the web designer that was re-assigned was so vital that we couldn't get anything done without him so he should be returned.

She was not too bright and didn't realize what she was doing to our credibility. She was in way over her head as she didn't have a clue about what we actually contributed to the organization. Yes it was a government contract where the most incompetent get promoted.

Well desiigner wasn't returned and eventually my management was told that if we couldn't do any work we were worthless and would all be removed from the project.

She changed her mind and we had to work after that. I was able to explore alternative technology I otherwise would not have had time to look into.

Others were content to shop on-line and follow their friends on Farcebook. Big Grin | :-D

Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.

When I was a student in Bridgwater there was a local Looney call Barry(?) I think. He would hang around the Railway Station and pretend to be a Car, Motorcycle, HGV but not a train(!) with sound affects I was told by a guy who was a local he had a brother who was sectioned didn't really seem that long until those nice young me in there bright white coats turned up for him!

It feel like only yesterday I was excited about the 1K mark[§]

Now I am so close to the 5K mark OMG | :OMG:

Guess I am now almost at the stage where I should start celebrating 10K markers... Unsure | :~

I should probably start discussing very serious stuff now. Like Adobe releasing free font: Source Han Sans[®] Confused | :confused:

Free Hansas all around, compliments of Adobe! Beer | [beer]

Wait... what is Source Hansas? D'Oh! | :doh:

No, OriginalGriff is having One Of Those Days... Sigh | :sigh:

Everything I touch has a problem I have to fix before I can get to the problem I started with today.
For example, I got the notification of the renewal of my car insurance today - so I went to print out the new certificate. Only I can't, because I haven't printed for a while, and the printer is refusing to print because it no longer recognises the black ink cartridge - probably because it has been in there so long it's past it's sell by date.

OK, new cartridge: only I can't, because the cat has just come in and is soaking wet and trying to settle down to dry off on my computer - so I've got to dry him first...

Only I can't because there is someone at the door...

...and I haven't got any black ink cartridges anyway, bother it, so I'll have to order some.

This is how the day is going...one thing leads to another, leads to another - and I just known that at the end of the day, I won't be able to put my hand on my heart and say "I did this today" because it will be all reacting to annoying trivia. Sigh | :sigh:

Well, as a special 5K-mark offer, you can have 100,000 of my points for 2 cents each.

(That's Euro cents, mind, not those cheap American ones.)

I looked at this earlier and couldn't find the end bit or get the PS part - now it's obvious:
