bugshaw at 11:55am on 16/02/2006I sent off the excess postage and received the underpaid item today - a TWP apazine, which did indeed tip my scales at all of 252g - and it only had postage enough for 250g. I don't know why it was underpaid - a problem with the scales at the other end, I guess.
Boy, do my joints ache today. They were getting bad yesterday, my ankles and bunions, but they're much worse today and my wrists have joined in. There was some amusing contortionism involved in getting my socks on this morning, I can tell you. Now that term has started, I am getting a regular fix on vegan (i.e. non-dairy) chocolate flapjacks, so they are suspect #1. I wonder what it is in them that I can't tolerate? Oats, maybe. Gosh, this will be fun if there's another thing I can't eat. Bah. I shall not eat any flapjacks for a couple of weeks, and then do an Experiment.
Maybe I'll have just one while I'm in work today - I foresee a lot of waiting. I am provisionally mentoring a student 2:30-3:30, then supporting another one in a seminar on Strategic Management Accounting and Project Management. "You'll find it droll," said the student: "It's a man who looks like an accountant, talking about accounting." Way hey! Just my sort of thing. The only thing better was when I went to a workshop at SPSS, and one of the facilitators had a shirt which, when you looked at it closely, had the pattern of 1mm graph paper. Swoon! Now if it had been log-log graph paper, I might just not have come home ;-) (Note to self: buy Simon a shirt based on this pattern)
