To all the ill people on my friends list:

Get better soon, all of you!

Especially wikdsushi. ER = not a good place to be at.

Nobody could doubt my words.

Yes, of course it has always been my deepest desire to walk through butcher and baker shops, cafes and McDs, dressed in my lab coat, checking how the food is prepared, if all the required sinks (one for cleaning the food, one for washing the dishes and one for washing the hands ) are there and inspecting the staff toilets is they're using cloth towels instead of the mandatory paper ones.
No, I'm not bored because the writing of reports takes the whole afternoon and there's nothing to do for me not even a spare computer where I could amuse myself with solitaire or blinking cursors.

Well, someone has to do it...

One thing I've never heard of before last week:
Ecotrophology, the science of household management and human nutrition

Character flaw #236

Stupid woman. Go on, make your life more complicated than in has to be. Be totally independent, do everything on your own. Don't ask for anything. Not for help, not for money, not for anything.
One day you'll have to accept that live can be so much easier.

Newest example:
My father had to go to Donington for the weekend. My youngest sister just asked "...could you bring 'The Wee Free Men' back with you?".
Something I'd never even think about doing.
Which is the reason I have to wait till November for 'Night Watch' and will have to pay it myself.

But it's be a paperback and I like those much more than the hardcover.
And yes, those grapes are much too sour.
