university library gripe:

when you leave your desk for five minutes to do something completely unnecessary and ridiculous like use the bathroom, leaving books and papers spread around the computer desk you are using, only to return and find someone sat there, because you have 'logged out'. Yes, I logged out to prevent anyone tampering with my work...argh.

Can you not do ctrl-alt-del and select 'lock computer'? Still, pretty shoddy behaviour if you've left all your books and stuff at the desk.

I'm not sure you had that option in fact...either way, pretty irritating, and next time I shall just have to leave some more permanent marker of my presence at my seat.

there are no accidents
crashing hard on the couch reading a book. can't keep eyes open.

after 15 minute fight with fatigue, finally gather enough strength to brush teeth and get into bed and.... can't sleep.

why is couch infinitely more conducive to sleep than bed???

My fucking gas has been fucking cut off for a week fuck!

Last week gas stopped coming out of my taps. Phoned British Gas and they said I'd been cut off so I paid 'em a load of money I hadn't got. Then they said it wasn't cut off at all. I investigated further and it turns out that someone from one of the other flats had an engineer round and he turned off my gas by accident because the metres are incorrectly labelled. BG sent a man round to turn my metre back on but said that they were unable to do it because the cunt had stuck some sticker on it saying it was unsafe, they advised me to ring the original engineer. Got his number off the girl in the other flat and phoned him and he told me to ring either Group 3 Energy or Countrywide Estate Agents - two companies I've never even heard of - he gave me a number for Group 3 which turned out to be wrong but I eventually managed to contact them through the internet - at which point they advised me to ring BG - on being told that I'd spoken to them and that they'd sent me to the engineer who had sent me to them they told me to ring the engineer again. His phone was on ansaphone all afternoon but finally I got hold of him and after some arguing he said that he would try and fit me in to look into turning it back on again. Apparently he's going to get back to me later. The wanker.
Anyone got an electric heater?

Cool man thanks a lot, think we can make it though tonight but if it's not sorted I might borrow it at the weekend if that's ok (will give you a bell if I change my mind). The girl whose gas was originally being investigated has said I can come round for a shower tonight so I'll do that - I do realise that it sounds like the plot of a porn film, wonder what she looks like.....

...and smells like, if her gas is under official investigation.

Have you checked your email today? Sounds like something potentially cool happening tomorrow eve. If you can't make that then either pop over late-ish (say 11) or if you want to come earlier, just drop by the house and I'll make sure it's in the front room so you can grab it if I'm still out.

Cheers man - I got football tomorrow but I'll try and come round afterwards.

"damn. way to make my problems look insignificant."
Ah well. I can't sleep either if it makes you feel any better.

An impression added to by the text she sent me saying "No worries just got back in so come and bang whenever". Then she let me into the shower and said "Sorry, there's no lock on the door... "

When I lived with students years ago, we didn't have gas in our house for four months because the previous tenants didn't pay the bill and the landlady couldn't be arsed to sort it out. Luckily the shower and tap water were off the electric, house was still freezing though.
