    School left me a message because the eldest had broken his glasses in the playground and he told them I probably have a spare. So I drive up and leave them with reception who say they'll let him know they are there to pick up. Only they didn't so now he has a broken pair and the spare are stuck at school. He can't see bugger all without them so I've got to search around for an even older pair just so he can get through the weekend and play football.

    Go buy one of those balls with a bell in it like they use in blind football, and if anyone complains about using it sue them for discrimination.

    Me doing cable management: this is going to look so good, not an inch of cable out of place, it's so neat

    Me three months later needing to relocate a cable: FFS, why did I use so many zip ties burying this one cable with a stack of six others

    [Joke] Is cable management a sub-discipline of change management, perchance? [/Joke]

    People accuse me of being messy with cabling (and I've built control panels where the cabling was millimetre perfect), but I've been too long in this game - having had to tear out too many structured cabling systems where they wouldn't adapt to a termination two inches away from where it was initially installed. This is exactly why I duct cables (loosely) wherever possible, and only cable tie on exit to terminations.

    Is he a Forest Cunt or a Spuds Cunt?

    That explains the turnstile jumping, paid tickets are for the peasantry.

    Worth finding out whether the client cunt is going to need a SME on their project and if so whether the rich cunt will stand a better chance of landing the client cunt if there's a SME cunt at the game with them.

    Someone has decided that they are taking me up the corporates for the wet hams. I am neither a client, nor organising the ticket.

    What does that make me?

    Apart from the normal flotsam.
