(no subject)

After intense productivity at work over the last 3 days (c.2500 errors fixed in ONE map dataset thing. Go me!), I seem to have ground to a halt today. Partly because I am waiting for a Thing from someone else, and I have a feeling that as soon as I start Other Stuff the Thing will show up and I'll have to stop the Other Stuff to work on the Thing, so I'm mostly staring blankly into space and shuffling papers around. I did tidy my desk a bit.

Attempts at productivity are not being helped by head being full of that fuzzy feeling of Coming Down With Something. Woe is Me, etc.

My big excitement for today is possibly venturing out at lunchtime to buy socks. I never seem to have any socks these days. Obviously teh Eater of Socks has taken up residence in the secret bedroom, or behind the sofa, or something. But they are all GONE. So, New Socks. Aslo possibly knickers (the Eater of Socks seems to be diversifying).
The fun never ends round here!

In order to escape the January Blues, am pondering Escapes. Tho these seem so far to be filling every weekend in February. Hmm.
Should really book flights etc for Febmeet too, but finding it hard to get any enthusiasm for Going to Fucking Feltham Again. However i'm sure cider and Refined Company will dull the pain and hatred once we're there ;p

Beach Meet would be much nicer tho. I think we should all go to Malta. Who wants to go to Malta?

ETA out of idle curiousity I checked flights. There's a weekend in March which *may* also happen to be my birthday when a return Gatwick-Malta is currently £97. Which is probably less than it'll cost me to get to fucking feltham. Hmm.

ps on an entirely different note work email is gone v. weird and am now getting mails from yesterday afternoon. So today's maybe be even slower...

I think a Beach Meet would be much more fun that bloody feltham ;p

plus, beach! And Castles with Great Big Walls and stuff ;)

mememememememememememememememememe!

I don't know if I qualify for Beachmeet, as I have never been to Febmeet, or mud, which I think is what Febmmet is all about? But I could be an official representative for the non-mudders, just to ensure equality and diversity?

Token mundanes are always corruptible welcome.

never worry about the mudding part of it, it's more just a chance to meet up and hang out ;) And meeting up and hanging out in malta seems much more appealing than fucking feltham

just checked flights for march - £97 return from gatwick (tho that's probably not much use to you).

Yes, beachmeet, yes.

[identity profile] caramel-betty.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
A lesser spotted [livejournal.com profile] malvino! I had been wondering where you were.

Double yes to beachmeet.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hurrah, see addition, there's flights in march for under £100 and there's bound to be cheapo accomodation to be had. Possibly not quite sunbathing weather, but still, beachs and big walls and fine wines...

Is v. tempting.

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
And speedos/thongs!

I'm on BABY DUTY for the last week of Feb and most of March.

This is because there's a BABY coming! But not to me. (phew). Da Sistah's in-laws are away, and we're the closest, so when it comes to popping time, we have to be ready look after the Niecelet and her collection of huje tigers, so no travelling for me!

Woe.

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I sent you an email but it might not get through, am thinking about poootling up nooorth early in Feb. ?

[identity profile] fragglechick.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Another baby? Yer sis is big on reproduction eh! ;-) Feels likes it's been hardly any time at all since the neicelet!

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
she's just over 2

Da sistah always wanted the two babbies, so she wanted to have the second one pretty quickly... *is delicate and tactful*

Do they do these in a swimwear edition?

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure we could mock some up.

Though there is always the chance it might attract a proper octopus :/

Oh. Good Point. I also have a niecephew due in march. around the 18th. Hmm. will check with sister, not sure what she's arranged for looking after the other 2

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It did get through, and I have Replied! We should plot this, poss. along with L. and JA!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
