Alan Bennett again
« on: September 04, 2007, 12:36:30 PM »
November  29th 1993:
"In one stratagem for not working today I find myself carefully cleaning off the accumulation of dried ointment from the nozzle of the Vasaline Derma Care hand-lotion dispenser"

Sounds horribly familiar to me though for Derma Care hand lotion substitute cleaning the pipes at the Virtual Pub. ::)
I should be working. Mrs S, who has a cold, thinks I am and calls out occasionally, "Don't do too much dear, take a break" Makes me feel very  redface:

I have avoided work all day. Tomorrow (night) is the deadline!



Or maybe Thursday morning?

In a delaying tactic I've seen fit to sort more boxes of cassette tapes which needed urgent attention  redface:

This plan has now been thwarted however by a faulty spindle (I think that's the technical term) which appears to have rendered the device useless.  confused:  Two cassettes are now irretrievably ruined since I had to extract yards of crumpled tape from the machine.

Looks like I might have to return to August's invoicing cry:

Honestly what wastrels you all are.

I have filed all my emails, created a menu plan for the week, ordered three Christmas presents, caught up on my email correspondence, downloaded and filed photos, blogged and planned two more. Use your time wisely. ::)

 eeek: eeek:

Menu plan? For the week? In this house we're lucky to have a menu plan for the day in question an hour before the meal, let alone the week!

Why do you have to be so bloody organised?

How do you file emails? I delete mine once I've read and replied. If people want space in my real filing cabinet the can write me a proper letter. evil:

I have gmail. I can file them all away and archive them without ever having to delete an email. Can come in quite handy.

Hence the goodness of gmail. They aren't cluttering up my inbox. They are all archived with tags and searchable, makes life so much easier.
