Hehe Beanz, if you were out there at 1.15 I probably walked past you!

I just got an email with the word "sub-committee" in it. Back to slacking, I think. Really I want to play online poker, but there's no way I could get away with it.

You probably did then! I wouldn't have seen you though, cos the sun was in my eyes. I still feel a bit squinty.

I'm anxiously listening to the Gold Cup (more for workmates who have placed bets tahn myself, who hasn't) in the last half hour or so. I've also just discovered Diamond Mine on Yahoo Games, so that'll keep me entertained for a bit.

American Idol on itv2 tonight, woo. Pub vs Idol... hmm.

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Bah, as soon as I last posted my phone rang: "there's a nasty problem with one of the servers". Of course there is. It's a Friday afternoon, so *something* has to go horribly wrong.

Ugh bad luck

*just back from the bank to pay off the hundred grand in agreement with the out-of-court*
...hey, this terrorizer cover-cd sounds just about right for these kinda fr!days, i say.

It's the first hour of my Friday morning. Too early for frittering?

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Start as you mean to go on.

I was in work at 9 this morning, and until 1am last night. I think I'll knock off soon, cuz the sun is shining I there is a pint of cool lager with my name on it.

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

And the name isn't 'fatman' lest any wag dare

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 18 March 2005 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm ready to fritter and it's only 8 in the morning.

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

y're an early fritterer, mister.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

2 and 1/2 hours to go. Bored stiff.

*drums fingers, yawns*

SEVEN HOURS OF FRITTERING

In the end it wasn't a serious problem just "oops, we've run out of disk space because noone has deleted any backup files for the past five years". Grand-scale deletion just feels so goooood, sometimes - seeing all those files flying away into nothing.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"all those files flying away into nothing"=frittered away, yay!

Eight minutes and counting

― Greig (treefell), Friday, 18 March 2005 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

timesheet time again. 39.25 hours. now i can buy 'the man with the movie camera'.

Frittering doesn't come easily. I have been doing nothing but frittering since I came in to work and it's only 10:47 a.m. BLARGH.

I've frittered away the majority of the day. This means my only option for the rest of the afternoon is to leave early and nap my ass off once home.

How early should I leave, ilx?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 18 March 2005 21:14 (twenty-one years ago)

you gotta hang in there, leave at the end of the day. either you're in for the long haul, or the short haul. what's it gonna be?

― mat, Friday, 18 March 2005 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been frittering. I'm leaving early today to do laundry. The two people above me in my department are away until the middle of next week and my temps (yes, I have people working for me now!) ARE COOL WITH IT.

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

*clicks thread, posts message*

I am going out for drinks with bossman tonight!

I mean SERIOUSLY.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

no shit, ned you said it. this day is dragging!

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

i think time is going backwards here.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

moving backwards

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:20 (nineteen years ago)

Moving backwards, sucked down a black hole, sitting on my head. AND AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GO.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

i thought about looking up a book on google book and reading it, but i'm sick of looking at my computer.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

I STILL WANTS FRITERS

― nickalicious, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

I just want to lie down.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

i want a beer and dinner and good conversation.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

It's the end of the quarter here, finals week is essentially over, there's nothing going on. AND YET.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

^yes to that.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

i have to stop and get beer on the way---unless my lovely wife got me some---but a friend of ours is cooking dinner for us tonight at our house, so hopefully my wish will be granted.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

Handy, that.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

unless both of them are in pissed off moods and we have this awkward silent dinner. actually that sounds better than SITTING HERE DOING NOTHING

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

I have this feeling I'm going to get home, think 'I need a little nap,' wake up on the couch at 11 pm and go, 'Figures' and then crawl into bed.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

oh you can't do that! after work naps are DEADLY. you have to set an alarm for like, twenty minutes later.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:29 (nineteen years ago)

This is my favorite thing I've ever posted to ilx, like, ever:

Weekend, we're working for ya.

Sincerely,

Everybody

that is fucking awesome, nick.

― Mr. Que, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

If I hadn't been out all last night I would regard the prospect of crashing early tonight with more horror.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

And agreed, that rules, Nick!

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

The downside is now I have the song stuck in my head (which is okay, until now I had "Chacarone" stuck in my head).

― nickalicious, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

I have the "All Things Considered" theme in my brane, three slices of pizza in my belly, a bunch of old wastewater in my bladder, and a head full of ideas that are driving me insane.
