Stupid blind people where I work -- what worked ten years ago, no longer works. But, let's keep doing it the same old way we've always done it. *pounds head against monitor*

Also, give the project BACK to the people who originally screwed up it. That makes total sense.

I love being an overpaid file clerk.

Wow. Today was almost useful - we didn't actually do anything useful, but we got info on how to write letters of application - something I haven't done in about eight years, and then only for German lessons at school, and I've found it difficult to find anything useful online.
And we have to prepare a presentation for Monday. *rolls eyes* I got the topic, "plants of our country". No idea what exactly I'll talk about yet (that is a huge topic), let alone how to keep a dozen non-gardener kids/young adults interested for 15 minutes.

And I've finished my Christmas shopping, and we have Christmas music.

I'm not buying a lot of presents this year. Only for the immediate family and my best friend. Otherwise, I'd probably still be beating my head against a wall trying to come up with presents for my friends.

I think I'm going to bed.

Have I mentioned how lovely it is to have that bus pass? Being able to hop on and off buses and trams without worrying about paying for tickets is such a relief! And I found out I can use it for most of the way to the education thingy, and walk the last bit (about 1 km, that's not so bad now that I found my boots.)

*hellos the Mint*

*decks the halls*

Trying to come up with something to talk about for my presentation. I probably shouldn't even try to make it interesting, since they won't be interested anyway, but of course I'm trying all the same. Remembering my botany professor from university, who started the first lecture by talking about Cannabis sativa and Papaver somniferum. Too bad neither of them are native to Austria. ;)

The toe of my sock is a disaster. I am not happy.

i don't know if you saw my comment on facebook, so...

did you do the decreases every round? i do them every other round until i'm down to 7 or 6 stitches per needle, and then every round until down to 4, then bind off
i did them every round on my first sock and it looked just *blergh*
other than that, I'm afraid it's pretty much practice.

I just realized I should hurry up with knitting - I need this sock this weekend! (There's a medieval Christmas market, and I intend to go in costume, and need socks to go with it.)

I spent the whole day just wasting time (when I should be cleaning my room and working on that presentation.)

Did you enjoy the day, Magpie? Time you enjoy is not wasted time.

Not particularly. Mostly I was just bored, but couldn't find the motivation to do anything useful.
I'll have to tomorrow, though, because I really need to get my season change cleaning done before my best friend comes over for the weekend again.

Time for bed.
