General Updates and QOTW
It dawned on me that I never really write a follow-up blog and may be some people are wanting to know what happens. So here is a dot point list of updates. Soon I will install a twitter/sidebar update plugin so the small things not worthy of it’s own post are still mentioned.
- I am still a little sick, but I have been over-dosing myself on Panadol and cough medicine, as well as eating lemons whole, and feeling a lot better.
- I haven’t finished writing the rest of my list, therefore I cannot start completing it. Ideas would help.
- The lady from the car accident we had yesterday, probably will get away with what she did. Mostly because the damage is under $1000 so it is not compulsory to report it (by WA law) and the owner of the car told us not to worry about reporting it. I am still angry at her and wish I could have reported it, but it’s not my car. One day, hopefully, that lady will get what’s coming to her, and she (as well as her son/grandson) will learn their lesson about responsibility.
- The complex logo I had to re-draw on Thursday still hasn’t been done. I have not worked since then, so therefore haven’t had time to do it. Come tomorrow when I go in to work, I will no doubt be rushed into completing it under an hour for a rush job. All because my boss can’t be decisive about what days and hours she ‘needs’ me to work.
- My Sony DCR-SR42 Video Camera prize for winning the Youth Week design awards arrived yesterday. I love it!
- The library book my two cats totally destroyed, was dried with my hair dryer, glued back together and returned to the library.They called me and told me I had water-damaged the book and would need to pay for it. A week later they told me they didn’t need me to pay for it, the repairs were sufficient.
- The elephant upstairs still makes a lot of noise, but his nightly shower routine has changed, he now showers at 2am instead of 3am, and he showers for 75 minutes (I seriously timed it) instead of 45 minutes. Way to save water.
- I am finally getting the phone line installed in the apartment today. The Telstra guys will be here to connect it, then I can go on a higher (yet cheaper) broadband/phone plan with iinet, and get rid of this stupid (and expensive) wireless connect laptop modem.
I have not put the award I won from Youth Week onto my resume, as I have not even applied for any other jobs yet. As much as I hate to admit it, I think I am beginning to like where I work, and despite the crap pay and crap hours, I can’t see myself anywhere else.I applied for another job today. Fingers crossed.
So that should just about re-cap it. Right now I am sitting here waiting for Telstra to turn up, whilst my sister is watching a movie and filing her long nails. Worst sound ever! Seriously my ear drums are going to burst, I cannot stand it! Stop it dammit!
So if you couldn’t be bothered reading all that crap up there my ending question to you is:
“What is the sound that annoys you most?”




You are lucky you didn’t end up having to pay for the library book. The library workers where I reside are book nazis - even a scratch make them try making me pay!
The sound I hate the most is cardboard boxed being rubbed against eachother!

^book nazis lol thats bad.
The sound of cardboard rubbed together? ha, I dont think I’ve ever heard that, or found it annoying. I hate the sound (though its not that loud) when people rub chalk with their fingers on paper.

haha that book; you’re quite lucky you didn’t have to pay for it. a friend of mine had to pay about 40 $ for the same thing; only her book fell in the pool

Hope ya feel better soon! I tend to overdose on pills in an attempt to get better as soon as poss! Probably not really a great idea.
The was lucky they called you and told ya not to worry about paying for the book. I probably wouldn’t have done a very good job at fixing it and would have had to pay.
The sound that annoys me most is someone who clicks their pen continuously. Really starts to grate on me after a while.

Yeah I dried each page individually (took a long time there was over 400 pages)with my hairdryer then I glued the ripped pages and the cover and binding together with strong craft glue. It took a while but was worth it.
I always click my pen, and I know people get angry at me because of it. It’s something I just can;t help

Hope you feel better soon. The car accident with damage under $1,000 applies where I live too, but everyone usually reports them anyway.
As far as a noise that annoys me most it would have to be when people tap their fingernails constantly out of boredom or what have you. It drives me crazy.

I hate the sound of nails on a chalkboard and the sound fork or a knife scraping against a plate. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
