Nine Eleven Daily Thread

Morning all!

It’s my parenting day today - might go to toddler group to socialise The Child a bit or might just sit around the house while she shouts at me. It’s chilly outside. Wor Lass might be off work, so that could be the deal breaker.

I’m making Jamaican fishstew later.

A friend from New York has just messaged to say that he’s having a one night stop over in London. He arrives on Friday morning and has 24 hours in London before getting another flight up to Edinburgh. So I do need to figure how to take the day off on Friday without using up my leave allowance.

YOU’RE WELCOME! :wink:

Fucked off today. Only thing keeping me relatively sane at the moment is exercising, and an old chronic (undiagnosed, hooray!) condition has reoccured meaning I can’t even walk the dog :+1:

Still, nearly the weekend eh?

Keep catching a whiff of something and worrying that I smell, but I think the tip that my office looks into is just a bit pungent today.

God my life is glamorous.

Kind of lame, but the smug feeling of going home in the middle of the day and have a nap is pretty hard to beat tbf.

Morning all.

So very tired. My mum and dad are still with us and my dad is just a booze monster. I love seeing them but this is like a holiday for him and I didn’t have any time off left so I’m having to get up while he sleeps it off. Looking forward to a cup of hot chocolate and an early night after they’ve gone home.

Hope everyone is well.

You’re here now!? Literally started getting this autumny only in the last 3 days or so. Tough luck!

Yep. Maybe for the best, I have lots of work to do :frowning:

What are your plans while you’re here? Are you in Oslo or somewhere more exotic?

Just Oslo (but I love it here). Visiting collaborators, then a conference next week near the Vinterpark!

This sounds pretty handy for threads that would have been pinned on the old site:

“Speaking of bumps, we also added a category preference to automatically bump a certain number of open topics every so often in a category. This is great for to-do or support style categories, where open topics mean something isn’t yet handled, and needs a bit more attention.”

I’m in work and everyone’s chatting about funeral arrangements in rural Ireland. I couldn’t be fucked listening to this. Got barely any sleep as my GF was up numerous times during the night.
