taste of paint

They're redecorating our section of the building, arround us while we're working - naturally. And I can't get the taste of paint out of my mouth (and no I havn't been licking the walls), must find something to neutralise smell or else throw up over all their hard work in protest.

random giddering about recent activities

Well thought it was hi time I posted something again. My war with the ants continues apace, the major problem is they don't apear bright enough to spot something that'll kill them. I often have a glass of water by the bed at night, woke up the other morning to find 50-100 ants had climbed into said glass and drowned - SO glad I didn't reach for a drink in the night!!!I have been wilting in the heat as have the office plants I purchaced last week :( I have the reverse of green fingers, plants left in my care die quickly.A week or so ago I went to a conference in holland v.interesting conference but I didn't get a chance to see much of utricht, trying to draw a certain amount of inthusiasm from the conference and work seems to be almost working - fingers crossed simulation results bear some passing resemblance with real life.Everyone I know is moving house at the mo so next weekend I am helping move a friend to guildford, being careful not to stuff up back. Should be good, may mean there are more people arround to socialise with/ have the odd pint with.Spent saturday under a tree reading harry potter and sunday walked out to a nice pub in shalford called the seahorse, had a pork pie ploughmans and walked home, not the most eventful way to spend a weekend but pleasent.

Invaded

Got home last night to find my bedroom invaded by ants hundreds of the little beggars, squashed lots insecticided the logical entry point and washed the floors. Just praying they get the mesage and stay out.

Building Site

They're currently refurbishing the building in which I work, In a wonderful work round it type way. Its really starting to get on my nerves, on monday they closed off the main entrance to my section of the building after i had gone in for the day, with out mentioning that they were going to, leaving the only access to my coridor through labs, which technically I shouldn't be wondering through since I have no safety gear (and haven't been in a lab for five years). Eventually they opened a new section of coridor so I can wander through a building site instead (while there is building work going on). To add insult to injury though the entrance they closed includes all the toilets for the building - what fun.I am going to need a serious drink soon!

Happy Easter

Just thought I'd say a quick happy easter to everyone, I am braving the british railways tomorrow to get home to cornwall for a few days break, no net access.

4 year old driver

Just had to link this in case people missed it, got to be the youngest joy-rider ever. I suspect a career in motor sports later in life.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4246189.stm
