I use the windows+D combination all the time when I've got a bunch of crap open and need to get to something on the desktop.

For my birthday I came down with the Swine Cold.

Worst cold I've had in years. Yuck yuck yuck.

Staying home with Theraflu for colds and plenty of tissues.

grumble grumble

Bit of a hangover.

getting sick! hope it's just a cold, and not the -- you know

Well, it is only mildly irritating so far, but ask me again on Thursday.

Quote:

Forecast for
Tuesday......... Dry. Sunny..... Min 24 Max 37
Wednesday.... Dry. Sunny......Min 25 Max 39
Thursday.........Dry. Sunny......Min 25 Max 39
Friday.............Dry. Sunny.......Min 20 Max 36
Saturday.........Dry. Sunny.......Min 16 Max 34
Sunday...........Dry. Sunny...... Min 18 Max 29

Bloody hell, it is only mid-November!

That cool change for the weekend has weakened and slowed, so we have:

Recorded:

Sa... 34.4
Su... 36.7
Mo... 37.0
Tu... 38.9
We.. 39.2
Th... 39.2

and forecast:

Fr ... 39
Sa... 39
Su... 40
Mo... 28 (whoohoo!)
Tu ... 30
We... 36
Th... 38

This is not normal. The average maximum in November is 24. The longest November hot spell (consecutive days over 35) we have ever recorded was four days, in 1894. If this forecast is right, we'll get eight straight days.

I know that one freak event does not prove (nor disprove) that climate is changing, but after the record-breaking heatwave in February and consistently low rainfall for a decade or so, I am starting to ask, how much more evidence do we need?

classicman · 11-12-2009, 08:57 AM

I don't think anyone rational is doubting that the climate is changing.

Pie · 11-12-2009, 09:10 AM

...Just who caused it, what we should do about it, and is it even a problem, amirite?

Cloud · 11-12-2009, 09:52 AM

my cable decided to spontaneously reboot 5 minutes before the end of CSI:NY.

Cloud · 11-12-2009, 09:20 PM

. . . fortunately, the story continues tonight in CSI. If my cable shuts out right before the end tonight . . . I'll be really, really, REALLY irritated!

Do we have a thread for that?

morethanpretty · 11-15-2009, 11:59 AM

I'm pretty sure I have another sinus infection or upper respiratory infection. Just awesome. Took me more than a month to recover last time.
Also is freezing in work, I'm hunched over my hot tea huddled in a hoodie that just isn't doin the job.

My computer thinks I'm an Atheist. I'm not that irritated so much as confused.

DanaC · 11-17-2009, 06:16 AM

That last one needs a word of explanation Tora...

What's irritating me today is writer's block. I just can't seem to find the words. Every idea I have on how to start the chapter evaporates the second I try and actually get it down. This is in the irritating thread, not the upsetting thread, because I know eventually I'll break through it. But it is pissing me off.

I had a supervision meeting yesterday. Have changed my approach somewhat having examined the courts martial records. It won;t support a statistical approach, in order to get numbers worth a damn, the sample size wuold be too big and unwieldy. A manageable sample size would give figures too low to be robust or useful. Not a problem, I can still use the evidence in a different way. We ended the meeting with an agreement that I would have a chapter on the domestic economy of the soldier completed by our next meeting in mid December.

I walked out of the room buzzing with ideas, and by the time I got home two hours later, my brain had decided to take a celebratory holiday. Marvellous.

A recall on my Bug (my VW.) It's voluntary, and it's to replace the ignition coils, but I'm going to have to take some time off work to get it fixed (free of charge though) and a million other things I need to do that can usually only be done during work hours. Eh, a vacation day might be in order, but I just got back from being sicky sick.
