Just had two fillings at the Dentist. Currently have a totally numb mouth...the annoying thing is I also have an itch somewhere near my mouth but no matter where I scratch, I just can't find the source!
Driving me nuts.
First world problems.

Went out paddling with a colleague before work at 7am - great old time - sunshine, light wind, not too hot. Tried out the V10 surfskis (higher the number the skinnier and faster (and initially more unstable they become)) which in hindsight may have been a mistake - colleague fell in twice while I remained dry, professional, and smug. He had a wetsuit on so was ok. I had a few whoooAAOoAAAo! Fuck! moments though, adjusting to the balance. Back to the V8's next time... need more practice getting used to the twitching and maintaining a better posture. Need to remember to take a splash-proof phone to take some snaps - I have an old Samsung S7 which will do nicely.
Now it's noon and i'm bored with no work and want to go back out but my shoulders and thighs are rebelling against the rest of my body.

"Can I WhatsApp it to you?"
"No"
Silent Pause
"No, you cannot - I don't do social media"
"er... email?"
"Yes"
"How do I do that?"
.This is perhaps a job I don't want.

- WhatsApp isn't social media.i_monk
- I was wondering if some smart ass would point that out. FB owns it, so if it isn't yet, wait.detritus
- Glad to be of service. Pepsi owns taco Bell, so tacos are a carbonated beverage.i_monk
- QBN's my only social media.

After seeing the last evidences, they had to have disqualified Démare instead of Sagan (for breaking the sprinting rules and pushing the other riders to wrong routes)... but, yes, he's French.
Chauvinistic Le Tour, again.

I hate bars. Why would I want to spend like $6 for a bottle of beer and be in a loud room where I can't hear anyone? I can get that same beer for $2 at the liquor store next door and drink it wherever I want.

I've spent an hour this evening on top of about two hours last night aligning the laser-doodah machine to four competing interpretations of a lego base plate (client's, official Lego™, some 3D nerd's and my own) so that I can cut out pieces that align exactly with Lego™ blocks. This is doubly-confused by the slightly inconsistent kerf the laser creates when it cuts styrene (awful-smelling too), which is trebly compounded by the fact that the first cut ever-so-slightly bonds the Lego™ baseplate to the machine's bed, meaning that the other side is off by about a bastard's worth of a millimetre.
I thought this job would be fun.
Anyway, all set up now — tomorrow when I come in, I've got to cut 60 sheets worth.
Each of these baseplates costs $15, so tomorrow I'm going to totally shit all over $900 worth of Lego™. I never thought Lego™ could be stressful.
- Damn, I missed trademarkifying a Lego™
Amateur.detritus - My bar for 'fun' is set very, very low these days...detritus
- Mind you, next week I've got to mark over £6000's worth of a client's product. Until writing <this now, I'd not considered the costly implications of fuckupperydetritus

Why do people in NYC shake hands with people every time they see them?
- Why not? Etiquete?OBBTKN
- As a NY'er living in LA I miss shaking hands every time I see someone.ArmandoEstrada
- Depending on the person, I hug, hold on too long, and when they try and pull away I whisper, "Don't make this weird" - and keep hugging.bulletfactory
- trump just grabs em by the....since1979
- People in NYC typically have good manners I've noticed. Shake hands, proper introductions, ladies first, hold doors, tip everybody.monospaced
- we hug in my circles unless you work with them every day. probably would drive you nutsscarabin
- I'm a hugger. Shaking hands is a manly sport and pretty annoying. My rule is shake hands the 1st and 2nd meet. If you need to shake hands a third time, you...lvl_13
- know that the person will always be an acquaintance and not a friend. But that's just my interpretation of the situation.lvl_13
- In Holland we shake hands toosureshot
- Make sense since NYC was New Amsterdam!sureshot
- Not in NYC, I shake hands with most people. I'm not hugging you unless you have boobs (moobs don't count...usually).section_014

I'm in a meeting and I have an insane amount of snot in my right nostril. It's definitely the kind of meeting you can't just leave to go to the toilet.

is it running down your upper lip?Ramanisky2 - No it's more of a rubbery texture. And itchy as hell.mort_
- I just want to scoop it out with my middle finger nail.mort_
- you can't leave the meeting, but you can post on an internet forum in it?bulletfactory
- Might have my chance... projector being set up. Please dim the lights. Please dim the lights. Please dim the lights.mort_

Started a new writing project and the pages are shaping up quick. It's so nice when you can just sit down and there's not a lot of trying involved.

just got shredded by a client on a 9pm phone call... :/
I haven't been this overwhelmed in years... it's fun but fuck me I just broke my own rule... don't overbook. Now I have to figure out how to turn this shit around by Monday... ... probably should get off QBN... ... and by 'get off QBN' I don't mean I'm going to fap you all senseless... it means I must go now.. ... I have work to do.

A friend's just popped into my studio and shown me a property listing for a church for sale in central Edinburgh, WITH A FULL FUCKING HOUSE 'EN-SUITE' for sale for £590k.
Here in Shitsdon I could barely buy a two bedroom flat for that.
I've always wanted to live in a converted church.
Nngh.

- ready for priesthood?since1979

No priesthood, just cool-ass space.

never get another director to help you on your film. this little maggot sabotaged our audio. our film was coming out great until the audio "mysteriously failed" and "disappeared". me thinks he was a little jealous evil conniving mule. Our producer screamed at him. I think that was the issue that started this. My producer was a hot head egotistical maniac on set. Indie film, gotta love it.
- add him to the credits as 'guy who did all the fucked up parts'moldero
- haha yaaasince1979
- No BU tapes? Also convert to silent film, and use moldy's credit suggestion.garbage
- Yeah... Always make sure the onset stuff is backed up in three places. The golden rule if its not in three different locations its not backed up at all.mugwart
- One of those locations being with you!mugwart
