Yes life’s little annoyances but nothing worse when they all come at the same time. That’s exactly what has happened to me this evening and hasn’t put me in the best mood.

Ok finish work at 6PM, my day at work was an average day’s work, nothing to write home about. Got outside and it was absolutely pissing it down! Great I have to cycle home in this; I knew I was going to get soaked. So I set off and sure enough I was wet through within minutes. Another couple of minutes down the road my back tire goes flat real quickly. I’m shouting out “You’re fucking kidding me!” I couldn’t believe it I had got a puncture, as I knew I would be walking the rest of the way.

So I’m walking along in the rain in very uncomfortable shoes, not ideal for walking in, and it’s another two miles into York city centre. “Oh what’s this? A bus shelter!” Ok I’ll wait for a bus to take me into town. I wait ten minutes and the bus comes along and stops. As I’m about to board the bus the bus driver says “Sorry you can’t bring that on here, we are not allowed them on the bus”. So I have no choice I’m walking into the city centre whether I like it or not.
I finally get to the train station and by the looks of it I had just missed a train for Leeds so I had to wait thirty five minutes for the next train. I’m wet and cold and having to wait for a train freezing my bollocks off.

I finally arrive at Leeds get off the train and prepare myself for another two mile hike home. No point me trying to get on the bus with my bike because I’ll be told to get lost again.

Pretty much it, I’m back home now, wet, cold and my feet are killing me. I think I’ll jump in the bath and chill out.

Tomorrow I now go to go out and get a puncture repair kit. While I’m out I might as well get a new back tire as it’s worn out. Also get some new back and front brake pads as they are not working as well as they should.

University seems like a joke so far. Today in computer principles the teacher tried to describe to us the difference between ROM and RAM. Ether he had no clue what he was talking about or couldn’t come up with an example. Well this is how he tried to describe them. Yes he got it right that ROM is read only and RAM is read and write. But then he was saying when you receive emails they are stored in ROM because you can’t change the contents. Now there are few reasons why he was wrong. One ROM is READ ONLY. You cannot write to it. So when you receive an email there is no way it is written to ROM. It is stored on your computer HDD. Secondly he was saying that you can not modify the contents of that email. Well yes you can. For example if you receive the email in IMAP format you can simply open the file in notepad and change the contents and save. That way you can pretend that you received an email from some one with a nasty message etc.

Well it isn’t only just that teacher they all seem as incompetent as the next. You would think after 20 years of teaching the same course you would be more organized than you started and more clued up on what you are teaching.

I hate these kinds of teachers that use to do what they teach for a job. It seems that they have lost the passion for what they do and decided to go into teaching. This lack of passion shows in the classroom to. The only teachers I look up to are those that wanted to be teachers right from the beginning. You know those ones that are like “I want to be a teacher when I grow up mummy.”

Part of our university course we have to keep what’s called a reflective diary. Basically write down all achievements, thoughts and learning’s regarding electronics. We were advised by the teacher that it’s better to buy an a4 kind of diary to place all these in. That way it can be easily submitted to be checked on a 2 weekly basis. Well anyway no matter where I go to try and find one of these diaries they are all covered in flowery patterns for girls. YUK!!!

It seems that these companies think that the only people that buy diaries are girls. Now that’s just sexist!!

Well other week some twat decided to try cut through my bike lock. They didn’t succeed but they got half way through so I had to go out and buy another. Anyway new lock £30. Also I had bought a new bike tire pump for £20 and now it’s been stolen, so another £20 to replace it. I was hit by a van driver the other day on my bike as he pulled out without looking. Don’t worry I wasn’t injured but he has slightly buckled my back wheel. Cost to replace that I’m not sure but looking at £ 30+. Also both my front and back tires have gone brittle as my bike was stored outside for several months while I was in college. To replace them plus new inner tubes cost £45. Also because I was using my bike a lot I needed new seat for comfort, cost £40. Well that covers all the expenses. A grand total of £185 in a month, I could run a car on that amount of money in a month.

Right I’m really starting to get annoyed how cashiers at supermarkets hand you your change back. They always place notes in palm of your hand and then the coins on top. There are several reasons why this annoys me.

1) The coins slide all over the place and many a time they end up on the floor.
2) If you do close your fist to stop the coins sliding you end up crumpling a brand new crisp note.
3) Because I paid by a note I have already got my note section of my wallet open but with the coins on top you have to slide coins off your hand into another compartment in your wallet. Changing compartments with one hand while trying not to drop everything is hard enough.

This is always the way in supermarkets…. Do they teach their staff to do it that way? Some one that works in a supermarket please tell me, because every time I go into a corner shop they had the money back the correct way: Coins in palm of hand and notes between thumb and Index Finger. That way I can easily slot my notes into the notes compartment, that is already open, keeping firm grip of coins in palm of hand.

Please cashiers hand the notes and coins the right way, well my way

Ok other day at work I needed to send text message. Sure enough I didn’t have enough credit I only had 9p. Well I had heard Orange do this new emergency credit thingy. Well I couldn’t remember what I had to text to get this credit so I went on a Google search. Well I came across someone else’s blog where they were annoyed at this Orange emergency credit. What they said was that you can only apply for this credit if your balance is 0p. Well straight away you can see the problem. I had 9p and there was no way to use it. Text messages are 12p and you can’t make an outside call with 9p. I just want to share my frustration at Orange how they could be so stupid. How are we ever to make that emergency call to friends or relatives when we have 9p of credit??

Oh and btw Bex rules. She beat me at nudge war on MSN. *Goes off to hide*
