/yawn

Bored.

Work is tiresome today, people who do not understand their own software are expecting me to fix it. Which falls firmly into the "not my problem" category. The only high point is flirting with the customer services staff, which is a bit of fun :)

The guild (Phoenix Legion) on Draenor EU finally downed Raggy on our third attempt at him. Was fun, but we've spent so long sodding about in MC that half the loot got dissed (crappy cloak and trinkets). BWL awaits. I'm sure Neffy will hand us our asses for a few days yet.

Took a few days off work last week, and ended up going out with my nippers school to a local supermarket. The aim of the event was to find certain products, and find out which country they came from. All well and good. Until the teacher decided that my nipper needed to go and find out where sugar came from. Now, sugar packets are not the most airtight of containers, being, essentially, paper bags. So, the shelves they were on were covered with loose grains of sugar. Quite a lot of it. Anyone who's read this on a regular basis, knows my kid is diabetic. Diabetic kid + piles of sugar = not good. Sometimes I wonder at the thought processes going on in educators heads.

Nothing else worth mentioning really.

Back soon.

Me > My Doc

I've been tested for bloody everything. I've been punched by a doctor (all in the name of science, like, but the bastard didn't have to smile so...). I've taken all sorts of tablets (I DESPISE taking medication), and now I have an appointment to go see a respiratory specialist.
I'm betting it's just a muscular issue of some form. Anyhow, it's not pleurisy any more. Which is good.

Time to quit smoking again, because I know damn well I'll get endless shit for that from some git in a white coat. Dont get me wrong, I want to quit, but I dont need some smug sod telling me about it. I know. Thankyouverymuch.
