Fury of the Grünt
Mar. 19th, 2006 11:10 pmI don't know what's changed about me, but when I'm out people have started to assume that I work everywhere. The problem started a couple of months ago at a cafe in Edinburgh Airport when a woman asked me where the cutlery was. I wasn't even wearing anything remotely resembling the staff uniform. The same happened a few weeks later, at Nickel 'n' Dime when I had been looking through the threads for ages trying to decide if two colours were the same or if it was just my colourblindness.
And when the Melvillites came bowling with Whitney and I today, I was wearing the T-shirt that my dad brought back from Russia and only remembered that all the staff there wear red shirts when I walked in the door. The result was that I couldn't make it from one end of the room to the other without being asked to fix a lane - a walk that I had to do quite often thanks to Whitney sending me on endless quests for chips and ketchup. And "Russia" is spelled significantly differently from "Staff", as well.
Paul and I are still on the DDR scoreboard there. I'm now going to stop updating this and just assume that we'll be on it until the end of time - it's more satisfying that way.
It's come to my attention that my posts have gradually become phenomenally boring this year, but not being one to learn from my mistakes, I bet you're dying to know how the solitaire solver is going. My project report is now over 15,000 words, and I've already started thinking up what I'm going to say in my final presentation two months away. It might be a bit wiser to actually get going on making the project do anything useful, but all in good time.
Members of my family are now among the contributors to the latest Internet trend, as my youngest brother told me when he phoned that the music video that he and some friends did to the music of Dragonforce's "Fury of the Storm" is now up on YouTube. He didn't seem best pleased that his co-star had put it up, and told me that he didn't want anyone else to see it. So here it is.
