This is a BORING thread! Post about boringnesses happening to you!→[More:]

Vodafone:

So I get a text today saying that I have unlimited internets on my phone, and should go on my phone for £1/day internets! WTF? I pay £5 for 500MB/month, much cheaper! so I call vodafone and they say I don't have that, so I go wtf!!!?!? and dig out my VODAFONE CONTRACT, which says for a fact I have this cheaper service, and they refunded the eighty bazillion ducats I would have otherwise incurred for checking Metachat on the bus on the Graceberry

Politics:

So I am writing a boring policy document about housing and another about roma. Then I get a niggling spidey sense to READ THE NEWSPAPAR, and there the people I am trying to convince to give money for project A already gave money for project B! and nobody told me! Shouldn't big organisations have little grapevines to tell their own researchers what the heck is going on? Yes, yes they should. Then we don't need to find things out in the NEWSPAPAR.

We're interviewing two more people this afternoon. Then, I'll leave work for the day, and rush home in an effort to beat the UPS truck. Also, I am eating fake chicken strips for lunch.

I have to shut down my editing program and restart it again. And then zoom through a bunch of files and get outta here.

I know in my heart that my fingernails are growing but I've been watching for three hours and I can't see any progress.

Boring update: I managed to get all my contacts from my k810i to the Graceberry! Now my husband gets the k810i.

I went to the post office today and got all the Priority Mail boxes, sleeves, tubes, and envelopes I could carry, so I could try to fit all my super-heavy teaching resources and stuff in them and save myself the luggage. I walked out of the post office looking like I was off to build a cardboard and Tyvek fort in the parking lot.

MuddDude and I are gonna switch to a T-Mobile family plan, and that means we get spiffy new phones. I think I'll sell the old phones on eBay, although mine is so beaten up I might just recycle it at Best Buy.

6:30 p.m. on a Friday night is the perfect time for a cleaning frenzy. I think I am destined to die alone, covered in cat wee.
