Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Geeeez, I had a Matsui, the remote control had a turquoise power button, which was an advanced feature at the time.

 

Feels good to fix things.

Can of Pepsi with lunch was unexpectedly warm - one zone of the drinks cooler was not cooling. Took it to bits, did some poking and testing, hypothesized that the thermostat was duff, swapped it with another zone to confirm and a £5.64 thermostat is winging its way right now. Thus saving £194 on an engineer callout or vastly more on a new fridge.

 

This should be in “The Other” thread, since your reward for fixing something that was broken was being able to drink Pepsi…

 

I spent yesterday at a roughly 100 people event for the industry I work in (cargo railway) as part of the hosting team. I had a speaking slot together with one of our clients, moderated a group discussion and presented the results, was then asked to be part of the podium discussion at the end. By pure chance, I ended up in the position to give the closing statement of said discussion.

Overall, it was a huge success for the company I work for and the other partners. For me personally, I did something I love (talking in front of people) with people who are interested in what I have to say about things I'm very passionate about (the industry, its future challenges and chances, and change management in projects). After sleeping less than 4 hours and spending 2.5 hours on a train trip home that should've been 1 hour, I'm very tired but very happy.

 

Friday.

 

I legitimately can't tell if that's something like an SNL skit or a "real" artist.

 

Its oddly compelling. I had to let it finish, which is more than I can say for a lot of music.

"After Friday, comes Saturday... and then its Sunday"... man that speaks to my soul.

 

Cruisin' so fast, I want time to fly
Fun, fun, think about fun
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My friend is by my right, ay
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

You have no shame.

When I come to power, callbacks like that will be met by summary execution.

 

Titanfall 1 is back online... again. The player counter is bugged and always shows 0, but there's actually a bunch. I swear Titanfall 1 fans are like cockroaches.

 

It's fried egg fried egg, gittin down on fried egg.

 

I'm closing on being done with the two new glowsticks. The little one even fits inside the big one! Why yes, that is what she said.

 

"Which papers did you want sir?"

"The ones with Bob Marley on please !" LMAO.



It was already worth it. Just one opening of the packet and sticking my nose in there and taking a very deep sniff took me back 30 years. I have literally not smelled that smell since 1995.

Going to knock up a dooby later.

 

I have had a few bits and pieces from Hempelf and they have in general been pretty good. I did get some cheap stuff on my last order that wasn't great (as expected) although it did smell rather nice. I also got a pre-roll from them as well, I shall have a look to see if I still have the tube, and that was awesome, so much oil came out as it burned that the tip ended up being almost greasy.

Now it didn't do anywhere nearly as much for me as the "leaded" stuff with regards to pain management, but it certainly wasn't bad although I was hoping for more. Still going to be looking into a proper medical prescription as I would qualify for that having been on 2 pain medications for a while.
