There are 96 hits on Google for Steven Chu inventing the scroll lock key. It must be true.

He's a politician now, but before that, he was a brilliant scientist.

i flint gets on your laundry, is there a quick way to get rid of it if you don't want to use the tumble drier? I find those sticky rollers way too finicky.

Call Pooka - she'll take care of him.
Speaking of which, where is she?

Yes glatt.

Yammer yammer yammer yammer all day long.

Well, I'm still having issues (about freaking 6 or 7 of them) related to Windows 7 and I'm at the end of any patience I might have started with today.

I know I write a lot on here, but IRL? My gawd how do people seriously yammer ALL DAY LONG about the same things OVER AND OVER AND OVER?

If I lived with someone who talked that much I'd tape their mouth shut before I threw them into the river. How can they stand it?

Try working with 5-7 year olds

The third time that one shows you a wobbly tooth or whines about someone being in the wrong place in the lunch queue (when you are trying to update records that will go to the Headmaster) it can be wearing.

I sympathise with angry parents a bit more now.
I honestly wanted to slap a child today.
Only in the way I want to smack an adult who was rude to me, or who pushed in (ie fantasy retribution, rather than real-life) but it did make me understand what pressure parents are under.

Then again, I was sensible enough not to have any.
Shrieky, smacky parents who are quite happy to display their range in the supermarket, were not.

And working with them is immeasurably rewarding.
Even if few of the parents know who I am, as they never see me.
I know I make a difference in their lives.

I am having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. I think it's just the change of seasons here, but it's really starting to wear me down. I'm waking up at 4am and not really getting back to sleep, and I can't get to sleep at night till quite late because it's hot, and then the stupid fan in our room has a clicky noise which I really need to fix. I'm thinking of just buying a pedestal fan for the room in the mean time, cause I really don't have time to dismantle the ceiling fan right now, and besides, I could put it back together and have a worse result!

If I put ear plugs in it's better, but I'm still waking up way too early and going to sleep way too late, and what sleep I am having during that time is broken anyway for god knows what reason.

I need a holiday. My brain wont shut up!
