I'd have to put the cats out of the room if I was going to have a stroke. It'd feel too weird with them watching "You're doing it wrong" "Pitiful"

Our shitty replacement knife from JosephJoseph we bought about two years ago from JL (to replace the blunt serrated one in the set) snapped a few days ago (the handle snapped in half). I messaged them on facebook and they're sending out a replacement.

Similarly, my Sony WF-XM3 earbuds started playing up after nearly 2 years. Moaned at Amazon, they're refunding. I'll wait a few weeks and hopefully pick up the XM4s for the same price.

That's a result, considering the price, my xm3's are still going strong, surprisingly.

I started a uni course in September that'll make me more qualified and in line for a moderate pay rise. I hate studying as I can't relax even when I don't have a pressing deadline. This time I'm really trying to not get worked up about it and just go with the flow. I passed the first exam today and had put moderate effort in without killing myself. I now feel like this will be doable and it's a big weight off. The first step!

Asked for a new posture chair at work - gaffer bought me the £250 one I jokingly emailed him the model of instead of an entry level one at around £100.

I'm getting promoted at work, after turning it down a couple of times as it is a lot more responsibility and truth is, I'd carved an easy life for me at the current position.
No idea what the new pay will be but it should be a substantial rise as I'll now be one of a hanfull of VPs reporting to the head honcho.
I'm posting it here as I'm trying to be positive, but I can't help thinking that the easy life I had will be missed.

I'm sad that 'killing game' didn't become a widespread term.
Cool though. I had a couple of letters published (broadcast?) on Digi back in the day.

That site is the very definition of a labour of love - people literally trawling through old VHS tapes to see what broadcast dates they've captured, then extracting it all. There's a few interesting teletext archaeology sites around.

It's a cool find, but I'm slightly irked that "blue car" is in a yellow font, "white car" is magenta and "yellow car" is green.

Finished my last day at a job I've been miserable in for years. Such a great feeling to be free! Exit interview ended up being a lot more negative than I originally intended but they asked what I thought of the place so I told them 😆
Couple of days break now then I start my new job on Monday.

Managed to get away on holiday (Center Parcs) without anyone else falling ill or travel dramas. Had a great day yesterday, lunch with beer and wine on arrival, afternoon in the pool, then sorted the accommodation out, which is right opposite the winter wonderland. My daughter's face was worth it all. Then wine, cheese and a roaring fire. Now sat listening to the radio with a cuppa whilst everyone sleeps and all is right with the world. Happy as a pig in shit.

I can finally play games again after gouging the fuck out of my thumb last weekend, still feels numb but doesn't hurt now so that's a big win, and I'm now finished work for the year and not back until Jan 4th!
