I liked the demo of Section 8, as did Meaty. We didn't buy it, though, because the scope for bezziness was extremely low.

Section 8 seemed decent enough - a bit like Tribes, but not nearly as jetpacky. You'd occasionally get a random mission, there were vehicles to be driven and equipment to be repaired, and STOMPY STOMPY robosuits.

Unfortunately, it made the mistake of existing at the same time of Modem Woof-fare 2.

And… done! I'm back.

I still need to install all the programs, of course, but I'll do that in drabs to save my sanity. Had a bit of a hiccup getting the wireless card to work, as I could have sworn Windows installed that automatically last time, but I was wrong.

And man, Chrome keeping things synced online, plus DropBox have saved me a tonne of time here. Hurrah for technology!

edit: and I left my tablet plugged in by accident, which Windows wasn't too happy about for some reason. It kept screwing with all kinds of stuff, most notably the monitor control panel.

When I found out my ex was cheating on me, I deliberately left her phone off charge all night so she went to work with it flat in the morning. I then called the guy she was cheating on me with and had a little chat with him, knowing he couldn't contact her, before calling the school, getting put through to the staff common room, and reducing her to tears in front of 30 of her colleagues. I refused to let her call me from another, more private phone and kept her on the line for almost half an hour.

Well, she never turned up Sunday or this morning, so I phoned up to see what was going on and she had handed in her time sheet this morning (which they do on Mondays to cover the last week and 'I' had signed it for Sunday. When I said this was impossible as she hadn't been here for me to sign her sheet they called her, but she wouldn't answer. I asked if she was supposed to be coming today and when they asked her on the phone she had told them that she had already paid her visit to my nan. I mentioned the food thing, and they said that carers are specifically instructed not to help themselves to biscuits, etc unless offered. I explained that I had no proof but as I knew it was impossible the food had disappeared and nobody else had been here I was concerned as it seemed to be the only logical explanation. They said she was in enough trouble with forging the time sheets for us not t expect her to be here this evening and they are sending someone else around instead.

Still, you can give her a shifty elbow in the ribs, if you want :smug:

I have little issue with him wanting to get his own back on her, and upsetting her as much as she may have upset him. I do have an issue with how much the two radio vultures were enjoying making a girl cry though.

My mother's ex-husband's ex-wife (the one after my mother) is a carer, too, and she is truly wonderful at the job. She goes out of her way to make the chance of independence and fulfilment in later years a reality for all of the people she cares for, and I have deep, deep respect. The carers that my grandad used to have, though, were never very nice. I think the gems in the professions are quite rare jewels, though, but the ones that do care are quite wonderful people.

It didn't quite ring 'true' to me. It just felt like the girl knew it was going to happen - either as a prank or a staged piece by the station, but maybe it is because, as JC aid, i seem to remember this being done a few times before. Or maybe I am just a cynic.

On the surface, though, I didn't like the amount of enjoyment that these two DJs were having at the fact that the lives of these two people had just fallen apart. Similarly, though, I can't quite understand how someone, when finding out that the love of his life (which I assume she was if he was going to propose) was having an affair would have the calm cunning to delay a confrontation or break-up to plan it for Valentines Day. I'd be far too devastated to manage that :(

In an effort to recover from not sleeping much on Saturday night for fear of Nikachu dropping a care package on me, MrRussell constantly checking the padlock on his sleeping bag zip to keep me out and Kovacs mumbling "How much?" in his sleep I awarded myself the day off today to play on the 360.

It also meant I missed my daughter's swimming lesson but last time I went she just acted up anyway because I was there so I figured (justified it to myself) that it was for the best.

Turns out she refused to wear her armbands, fell under the water, got a fair few mouthfuls of pool water and was then sick. At this point the pool manager ordered everyone (about 40 children of different ages having lessons) out and cancelled all lessons for the rest of the evening because it takes 10 hours to clean the pool out. Helen was mortified and apologised to everyone going while going a rather fetching shade of scarlet.

I missed all that because I was unlocking characters on Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing because I was too tired to do any proper work.

Unless they are any good of course. Which is unlikely.
