Day: September 10, 2013

Who the fuck steals deodorant?

Posted on September 10, 2013 By admin

I’m in Italy for a work strategic retreat. When I packed my suitcase on Sunday night,  I packed some toiletteries, my phone charger and my camera charger in the front of my suitcase. I didn’t really give it much thought and checked my bag in at Geneva. I took lots of pictures the first day and tried to recharge my camera,  but couldn’t find my charger.  OK,  thought I,  I must’ve left it at home.  Later that night,  when I went to brush my teeth, I realised that my toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and cologne had also gone awol. Now I could believe forgetting one item,  but not the whole kit. A bent baggage handler must’ve scooped out my front pocket at the airport. Yay.

In brighter news though,  the Italians are trying to kill me with mountains of delicious food.

WTF Orange?

Posted on September 10, 2013 By admin

I’m in Italy at the moment and my shiny shiny new cell phone is as useless as a brick because my new contract doesn’t have roaming activated.  I just spoke with customer services and they can’t enable that option until 6 months have passed on the contract “to avoid huge roaming bills”

What’s insane is that my contract includes 30 minutes of talk time when I travel anywhere in Europe. Except I can’t use it.  Because my roaming is blocked.

Fucktards.

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
