I feel the frustration.  My boss just told me to "go with the ebb and flow" when it comes to authorizing Task Orders.  I *had* a firm limit for my little left-brained guidance.  Now...now I have a soup sandwich.  Arrrrgggghhh..!

Oooof there's being cheeky and then there's just being shameless... if anyone ever tells you tap water in Iceland is not drinkable and to buy this expensive hotel brand bottled water instead, don't fall for it. Chances are the expensive brand water is bottled straight from the tap anyway.

Double-post to give a slow headshake to this invention. Finland why. I kinda want to try that though.

Dear Laufey, as curious as I am about the video you linked, I'd really like to know to what I am agreeing--be it subscription, subversion, or membership in a Suomi political party--should I agree to the dialog boxes shown.  Be a dear? ???
Spoiler: Dialog Boxes • show


Curiously,
DaveBro ^-^  Kiitas! (Fleck 1)


UPDATE: The story is great!!  When I got off my phone and onto my netbook, there were no dialogs--just Finnish stunt goodness. ;D Thanks for sharing!! ;D   Still curious about the "Finndows" dialogs, if anyone is inclined.  Or perpendicular. 8)


 O0  Look!  Art Garfunkel dyes his hair!

We've got a lot of non-cis people around here, so I thought I'd point out that Jughead from the relaunched Archie comics has been confirmed as asexual.

While I've never read Archie, I feel I should point out that 'cis' only refers to genders, not sexualities ^^'



Every single Tuesday night I underestimate how much time I'll take to do my homework, and every Wednesday morning I have to wake up at 7 AM and end up only getting five hours of sleep or less. Honestly I don't understand what happened to my work ethic .__.

(That's literally all the news I have. Life has been boring over here.)

Meanwhile tourists are still funny. Btw it's ok, there's nothing wrong in this situation as such, people are just amused because this place is a foot spa.

Tourists are also not funny. If you ever visit Reynisfjara don't go in the water, the undertow there is dangerous and people have drowned there before.

Aaaaand a Finnish man being super Finnish, in other words avoiding social situations to the bitter end, managed to get what he wanted without ever having to talk to anyone. The bus he was on had the heating on a bit too high so he sent a complaint to the company's FB page. A short while later the AC was turned on and the driver announced he had received the feedback. 5/5 customer service! :D

Well then. The problem with tourists wading in Reynisfjara has been discussed in the recent days because people don't listen to warnings at all. There's warning signs all over the place and some are even told to not go near the water, and the next moment they're right in there anyway... there's already been rescue missions for people that almost got swept out to sea and now we have another one drowned there. -.-

Despite not being ill any longer I'm still having a really annoying cough. For most time I'm not coughing at all and all's well but wait 'til a customer comes in and it's on. Worst is if I have to reach for something on the upper shelf or climb (a very rickety) little ladder to get a frame from up the wall, I just managed to cough almost nonstop for 10 min and two customers and the moment they were out the cough was gone. Trolled by a virus...

There is no reason for this post other than to announce that it's my 1200th post on the Forum.  Seems like only yesterday I was wondering if I'd ever make it to the Safe Zone!

Feel better, Laufey!
