And people say I faff around

Posted on February 4, 2005 By admin 48 Comments on And people say I faff around

Getting to work was an experience this morning. Slept ok, even though Katy had a bit of a rough night. She's getting better, for which I'm thankful, but the antibiotics she's taking are making her a bit queasy. It's poo, but it's still better than the alternative. We're taking things slow and easy. Her fever took a lot out of her. She couldn't open a bottle of water yesterday. So, anyway, this morning, gravity was especially strong as I found it hard to get out of bed. Curse you increased gravity *shakes fist*

Ahem. So, I was a bit sluggish this morning. I was more alert than Boris – who's still getting over his trip to the vet yesterday where he lost a few bits of himself – but I was way off my regular schedule. As a side note, poor kitty… He was walking funny last night, and looked rather pathetic and disoriented. Now I agree with you that I'd probably be worse if I had my balls cut off, but it's for the best. He was getting to be a stinky kitty. I just hope it doesn't affect his mood too much. It took me an extra 20 minutes just to get out of the apartment… hmph, and people say I faff around after that.

So anyway, as I'm trying to leave to try and get to the office at a “reasonable” time, I kept getting pressured to perform oral acts upon the person who was occupying my bed†. Every time I tried to leave, I kept hearing “MORE!” I take it as a sign she's getting better.

I ended up taking a cab to work. This is where the distrubing part comes in. The cab driver was bald, but had HUUUUUUUUUUGE flaps of skin at the back of his skull. Like, scary, disturbing, can't-stop-looking-at-them sort of way. And they were shiny. Like he had some sort of alien growth on his head. He had to ask me where I was going twice because I couldn't stop staring…

Anyway, got to the office and now I'm working my way through some paperwork, joy. At least the weekend is coming and there will be much cooking. And the superbowl. Yay!

† And before you get all riled up, she wanted a kiss. Pervs, all of you…

    Is that nice red cross supposed to be what the cab driver had on the back of his head? The atrocity of it! ;P

    The requested document is no more.
    No file found.
    Even tried multi.
    Nothing helped.
    Either that or you mistyped it.

    i don't see it either

    try veiwing it through someone elses friends page or on his actual journal and see if it works, other wise try signing out of lj and sign back in again

    probably useless advice, but you never know

    Why are you pointing and laughing at me? You're the one who crapped it up. Or maybe you found a way to make it so that only certain people can see the pictures?

    Maybe you should try to see what you did WRONG first.

    Nope, I can't. Are you deliberatley trying to drive me mad?

    I did nothing wrong, as my web kung-fu is powerful. I will say that Katy pointed out that the problem might be because my webhost is playing with the DNS servers these days, and this might cause transitory issues. If that's not it, I don't know what the cause is, but I can only say that the file *is* on the server, the URL *is* correct and nothing is otherwise broken.

    And since the issue is distressing my girl, I will drop it here and now.

    Ah, wonky webhost, that makes sense.

    It's not just them, bud. There is no picture.

  43. talisker says:
    February 4, 2005 at 10:21 am

    Then explain to me why the hell Katy and I can see it??

  44. eniran says:
    February 4, 2005 at 10:23 am

    Because you are both crazy? *shrugs*

    I opened a trouble ticket with my ISP. Hopefully, the madness will end.

    I hope so too… I'd like to see the alien guy.

    Was this whole thing already resolved? Because I can see the pictures perfectly.
    If you haven't changed anything, then =P
    If you have fixed it, well, carry on. Nothing to see here.
