    You really should start being a bit nicer to your mother, Mince.

    I had savoury oats for lunch today (onion, garlic, chilli, marmite, boiled egg).

    I absolutely love oats. They are amongst the most nutricious and healthy grains. They are possibly the cheapest staple to live on, I buy the cheap own brand rolled oats. Nothing wrong with them...although aldi's are a particular favourite. I eat them raw, make porridge (of various consistencies - oats are a brilliant quick alternative to risotto), use them in overnight type puddings, make non-dairy milk and youghurt with them, and mill them to bake with them. If in doubt, use oats.

    Oats are bland joyless mush, at best a vehicle for things with flavour and texture. I'm eating it because I need to, not because I want to.

    Added bonus of gaining a red thermal shield after a warm bowl.

    Bloody accountants who won’t let a £100 difference out of £20m slide at 630 on a Friday night.

    An upgrade has left the sound in a number of my media applications operating in a mode of non-functionality. Inconvenient.

    In layman's terms an upgrade has fucked up your computer sound?

    Not entirely. I have functioning sound in the sound setting test application, and other places where I don't really need it.

    The sooner we move to driverless everything the better. Humans have the most unreliable software on the planet.

    Spent all evening completing HR reports that were due for a meeting this morning, I've had two weeks to do them but I've been procrastinating because I hate HR bullshit. Just got a message that the meeting is moving to next week, so I didn't actually need to spend three hours yesterday evening working and could have in fact kicked that particular can further down the road.

    See, I would be putting this the “pleasing” thread. You’ve got the monkey off your back and won’t feel stressed about it next week.

    You're not wrong, I'm just irked that the meeting didn't happen after I finally did the work.

    So you now have some unexpected free time. You would have had to do the work at some point. Had the meeting been cancelled as opposed to postponed, I would go with annoyed.

    Having to work today after a heavy weekend in Utrecht. Or rather, annoyed at myself for not putting an extra day off in.

    Will sleep well tonight…
