Stupid Printer

Needed some printing in a hurry this morning. Stupid printer wouldn't work. Didn't work last week either, so I wasn't able to print out my maps to Doncaster (as if I'd forget where it is). I was in the middle of a good cursing session when I noticed the printer cable dangling down the side of the desk. A couple of weeks ago I unplugged the printer for some reason, and I hadn't plugged it back in.

Still think it is a stupid printer though, it should have told me that it wasn't plugged in.

Cars as Ornaments

Washed the car today. It is now properly shiny and I daren't drive it anywhere.

Happy Family

We now have all the family under one roof for christmas. The network is running slow for me and all the milk has vanished from the fridge.

Big Moon

Apparently the moon is very big at the moment. I've noticed this. I've also tried to photograph it. Unfortunately cameras are not very good at capturing things like the moon in a dark sky, and so what I ended up with could have been quite easily replicated using a piece of card with a hole in it. Apparently I'll have to wait another 18 years for another chance. Oh well.

Little known facts about the moon: Number one and only:

The combined width of three matchsticks held at arm's length will more than cover the moon in the sky.

Meal Out and Marking

It was the departmental christmas lunch today. Good food, good conversation (I didn't say much) and a good time was had by all. Then I went back to my office and did some marking. Who says I don't know how to have a good time?
