June 3rd, 200909:44 pm: OMG. This is almost too horrible to contemplate.
I found my half-litre flask. (Of course, I found it after I bought a replacement.) Unfortunately, I now have in my possession a half-litre metal flask which had soup in it and which has been left, closed, on the floor of the meeting-room (it fell behind a chair: no one noticed) for well over a month. What should I do?( Poll! )       Tags: ;l, dragon eggs need clicky, polls, soup
June 1st, 200911:45 pm: A Yonmei solution
We were in the family car. My mum was driving, my dad was in the passenger seat, the three of us were in the back with my sister in the middle because she was the smallest. We were, as usual on long car trips, bored out of our tiny minds. (This didn't take long. We were three active, intelligent, inquiring children who were used to being able to make our own fun and wreck things very scientifically and have lots of books to hand. We could get bored in twenty minutes.) My mum, who had read a handbook of family games to play with children in the car with the desperation of a slightly-awkward driver who cannot afford distractions from the back seat, proposed a game: "We will bet on traffic lights!" she said. "If you guess correctly, you get five points. If you guess incorrectly, you lose a point. The winner will be the one with the most points at the end of the trip!" "What if it's amber?" asked my sister, who was picky. "A thousand points if you guess amber and are right," my dad said. "But you lose a thousand points if you guess amber and it's wrong," my mum said. "It counts only if it's the colour as our car either passes or stops at the lights." My sister and brother thought this would be great fun. Or possibly they were better actors than me. For three sets of traffic lights, I boredly guessed "Green" or "Red" and was wrong or right, while my brother loudly totted up everyone's points and my mum said happily that this was fun, wasn't it? We passed the third set, and my mum said "Quick, everyone, pick your next set of lights!" because the colours obviously had to be picked before the traffic lights came in sight. My brother said Red. My sister said Green. Or maybe the other way round. I said "Amber" and we turned the corner and the traffic lights were in sight and it was a pedestrian crossing, so my mum had to come to a halt and there was no doubt in the world: the lights had been at amber when my mum stopped. I won a thousand points and the game ended, because it was abruptly obvious that no one else could win. The thing was, I'd expected to lose a thousand points: I'd just figured that once I was down a thousand points, the game would be over for me: I could go back to staring idly out of the window being bored in the car, as opposed to being bored by the stupid game.

May 21st, 200908:19 pm: Pointless poll
Poll #3746
Open to: Friends, results viewable to: AllPointless poll Preferred:      Current Mood: amused April 30th, 200907:03 am: Tomorrow, and the next week
I am using up last year's unused holiday time next week. (I originally planned to start next Tuesday, but various things that have happened* have actually made it better to begin tomorrow lunchtime, which feels like really the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. Also, I don't go back to work till lunchtime Tuesday 12th May.) I can't go anywhere - indeed, I've got to check my work e-mail once a day without fail because I'm still supervising the development of our new website. (This is so far not very onerous, but does involve me eyeballing stuff and going "yes, that's OK" or "sorry, try again".) But I don't have to go into work! Or do anything else but make sure the new website keeps chuntering along! (Okay, I may meet up with some people from work. If I feel like it. Or I might not. Still.) (Okay, I may go in for the team meeting Tuesday morning. But only if Scottish Gas are all done by the time the meeting's due to start.) (Okay, seriously, this may not sound like much of a holiday but it is, it is, I'm looking forward to it!) *A meeting that got shifted unilaterally from Monday afternoon to the following Tuesday. Which is fine, it gives me more time to prepare for it. That the quarterly newsletter I do is looking good to go to the printers today, when it usually ends up being a terrible last-minute rush. That I got our weekly e-mail newsletter off on time without difficulty. All-in-all. Anyway. I'm going to make a holiday todo list, and will be posting daily with "to do list of the day", which you can safely ignore - but this is your opportunity to tell me to do something. Something fun. Something interesting. Something I might not have thought to do myself. Something out-of-the-way. Something I can do that does not involve more than an overnight anywhere. And when I do it, I can write a post about it! So: write your idea (255 character limit, less onerous than Twitter, and you can always expand on it in a comment) and suggest a day to do it, and if I like it I'll do it and post about it. ...well, it sounds like fun to me, but maybe I need to get out more.

May 10th, 200608:53 pm: The Telewest Engineer Poll
Tomorrow a Telewest engineer will arrive, sometime between 8am and noon, and hopefully, shortly after that I will be back online at home again. With this in mind, I am offering an extremely small and pointless prize poll: ( guess the time )Enter a time between 8am and noon in the first text box. If you want to receive a small prize, leave your snail name and snailmail address in the second text box. The person nearest the actual time of arrival is the winner, and the winner receives a small and pointless prize. No bribes are accepted, unless they're really, really nice ones, and the judge's decision is final. No blood kin to Telewest, Time Lords, or precognitives may enter this poll, nor may any of ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) yonmei's alter egos, sockpuppets, or false identities. The winner shall be the person who wins. The prize is something utterly pointless that you will treasure till the next time you pass a charity shop. No substitutions and no cash alternative. Do not pass Go. Eat your vegetables. Wrap warmly. Drink lots of water. Love one another. Update: Engineer arrived at 9:48. Engineer left over an hour later, offering to come back after 4pm. Now, how do I score that... Current Mood: cheerful
