[Closed] What have you achieved today?

Sat through a JISC consultation meeting

Zip. Again.

😐

looked at running shoes on line.

not for me though, doing research on materials...Yep, research. 8)

Bog all.

Fourth place in the last MTB marathon of the season! It's a holiday in Der Vaterland today and we are roasting in 26 degrees! 8)

Produced an outline for some design concepts, now researching materials and possible suppliers.

Will probbly be going to the Community Garden later to plant up the rockery.

Alone in the office today (well not alone as it's a shared office, but I'm the only one from my team here) so have managed to avoid work by sitting on here, drinking coffee and going outside for a tab every hour or so! Have plenty to do tonight though, need to fit and set up a new front mech on my friends new bike that I've built up for him (he ordered the wrong mech to start with) and then drop the bike off at his house.

Also need to clear the garage out as having new radiators delivered tomorrow ready for the new heating system to go into the house next week, and need the space to store these until they get fitted.

Absolutely bugger all.

Nothing at all apart from taking the dogs for a walk, watching the MotoGP, making breakfast and lunch and surfing t'internet.

Must get off couch [b]NOW[/b] 😐

Applied for 2 jobs, spoke to a very nice lady about another position which sounds really exciting, had a lovely Tomato/Moz/Basil on Rye sarnie, laid off the coffee, called Mrs Bouy and told her I loved her, played on here a bit, feked around in the spreadsheetvortex, just broken wind..
Off out for cocktails with friends laters to watch the sun go down, bought some nice "gel" for my hair (rather than the normal clay stuff I use)
Shall now hoof off into the spreadsheetvortex for a few hours..

I've done loads me.

Just had a week and a half of stress as everything was going wrong :evil:. Today with a few new things everythings perfick 😀

Screwed down a plywood floor ready for some old skool parquet. I have used approx 1000 screws. 8)

I had a few pints in the sun at lunchtime, then made a very successful sandwich choice on the way back to the office.

Well done me.

same as usually bugger all.

DD: impressive!

Electric screwdriver/drill or very sore wrists?

Jesus, ned!!

Super duper 18V driver. I do bugger all by hand. 🙂

4 hrs kip (nights) and rendered my garden wall!

Read two journal articles and the government's plain english guide to localism. Written two readings lists. Revised two lectures. Made the same two lecture copyright-compliant. Tidied my desk a bit.

Priced up some equipment (my job) and picked at a scab on my knee (my hobby).

group therapy this morning.. dug up and weeded all the veggy and flowerbeds this arvo..

two site visit's this morning to check up on some new crossing points and some road markings and i'm now sitting working on some drainage ideas for a new NCR 75 link

Hope you used glue as well DD? Don't want any creaking in a few years!

I drove back from a cottage in Anglesea with MrsiDave then had some treacle toffee pudding and a 2 hour ride.

May work later.

Sadly, a lot of this today;

No need for glue iDave. 🙂

Have succeeded in using company electricity to charge my lights in readiness for tonight's bike ride if that counts 😐

Kids to school, work till lunch, lunch at home with wife, pick apples, mow lawn, sent a load of money from the charity I volunteer for to India, got a load of new stuff from my sponsors delivered and now contemplating a ride in the heat. Good start to the week.

Personally? Let me see.

Started off by taking the dogs to the vets to get snipped, so I felt like a traitor for the whole morning.

Then I went to the gym and did a lot of weights. Now I am busy cleaning up a 2070 row spreadsheet so that it correlates with a database.

So basically... Nothing.

Fourth place in the last MTB marathon of the season! It's a holiday in Der Vaterland today and we are roasting in 26 degrees!

Covering for all my German colleagues who appear to have the day off 😉

I made a list of things that i need to achieve but hacen't got round to doing yet!

You should have put "make list of things I need to do" at the top of your list. Hey Presto. Task number 1 achieved!!

Planned a mentalist LEJOG route that I am riding in a weeks time. Idiot.

Darnit - missed a trick there! 😛

Bike ride 😀 walked dogs 😀
Went to work 😥

day off today

put up a (n unnecessary) blind

went for a ride

titted about on here

ate a large cake

😳

Dogride-work-spreadsheets-early lunch thanks to daughter throwing a sicky at school and having to be picked up-work more spreadsheets-last sunny sunset ride of the summer it'll be cooler tomorrow, winds filled in, trails will be wet by the weekend or I'm not incredibly good looking...

Realised that the company I work for is still ruled by spanners despite my best efforts to educate them.

Registered 65 children, resolved a dispute about the house singing competition, taught a lesson on Elizabeth, another one on women's liberation 1900-1918, another one on the reconstruction of Japan 1945-1950, planned a round on rivers for the boat club quiz, registered the children again, taught a lesson on life in the trenches in WW1, another one on'Inspiration', took a cross country session and finished a UCAS reference. Now back home for tea and medals

Went to cafe with wife and smallest son, bought some trousers, walked dogs, had a bath.

I was going to say nothing but a post night shift nap earlier, but since then had to revise to include arranged interview time for hopefully my new job by end of next week 🙂

Rode the Borrowdale Bash. Ate lots of cake.

Got all my weeks work done, 6 days off!

I passed my MAP test to get my CSCS card this afternoon.

Anyone else who has done it will realise that isn't really that big of an achievement!

I found two broken safety critical systems and fixed one of them. I upset some production people in the office. I humped a 100kg cylinder around for a bit. I sweated a tide mark onto my polo shirt. I zip tied some "inspected" tags on stuff. A pretty good day

brewed some beer.

Got my first line of old skool parquet down ready to roll tomorrow. Then went to look at a job for someone what used to be quite famous.

Played footy for the first time in weeks; scored one and set up one in a comfortable 4-2 victory. 🙂

Shooduv had another right at the end, but lacking that match fitness and the old sharpness ain't quite there. Team-mates squandered a few good chances and were guilty of holding onto the ball too long, rather than playing quick passing football, but then that's not uncomon really bunch of glory merchants some of 'em; always looking for something they ain't really quite got the talent for rather than playing to their actual strengths. And Andrew needs to watch his mouth always complaining but can't shoot straight and thinks he's a striker when really he's a defender. 🙄 Woon't mind if he played half the game he talks.

Still, job done, enjoyed the game, had a good time.

Which is all that matters really.

Had a wisdom tooth removed. Bloody thing cracked in half, straight down the middle eating a seeded bread roll.

So what I have achieved is to replace one cause of discomfort with another. What I gained is a chance of comfort in the more medium term. Work could go hang after that.

Washed my car and give it a good ole polish with some of that Autoglym stuff.

Had a few beers with a mate who's not in the best of places at the mo.

... it's the little things that matter.

EDIT - cheers elf.

That's what your missus says deluded 🙂

That's not very nice, is it DD? Was that called for? Was it? Hmm?

DD ... but perfectly formed and expertly wielded 😈

Went shopping and made a big plate of scrambled egg on toast. Apart from riding and enjoying myself, I haven't done anything useful for almost 2 months.

It's alright Effin, as we speak, deluded will be on to his mates in Trinity Road and I'll be getting harassed for the next few months my plate keeps coming up on ANPR 🙂

What colour shirts do your team wear then Effin?

got through my first compulsory bag charge checkout shift with only one miffed off old shopper refusing to pay 5p for a flower bag. Harsh times.

Told a communist he is a fantasist.

Quit my job

Yay! Good on you ian.

(You do have somewhere to go don't you?) 😯

I think after the iDave thread he's the new Armani stunt double, no?
Good on ya fella. Good luck in your new venture/adventure.

Told a fantatsist he was a communist

Did loads of dreadfully boring marking

Three things I'm quite chirpy about today, they may seem small to the rest of you.

1. I've been bitching for months about the ridiculously crap solution we've put in place at work for ipads. It's so shonky. I hate it and I'd take the ipads off all the directors tomorrow if I could. So the Information director invites us all in a meeting today. Strategy architect was sat there looking smug thinking he'd won, director tells us to stop messing about, get a proper solution in, points at me and says 'whatever he wants, make it happen. The door's the wooden thing in the wall'. (Which was an awesome result as far as I was concerned)

2. Proof of concept for a new strong authentication system started about 11am, finished and succesfully working at 4pm. Very happy with that.

3. Got home, no curtains in the master bedroom. I've spent all myu time since putting up a new curtain rail with this massively complicated pulley system that only works if the gap in the rail is exactly 5.56543654mm the entire length. After much tolerance adjustment with a bastard file, it now runs the entire length like silk.

So, yeah, mostly happy.

Dd, just a small bike ride planned for the beginning of the year, nothingto hard.

De - still a way to go, 3 months left till the ride. 30kg to shift. 3 more weeks of work to go. Then hard training and massive sales of pretty much everything I own. Should be an interesting 3 months followed by an even more interesting 5 months.

Did work. bored. went to evening college as im doing the RYA Day Skipper course with the old man 😀

absolutely nothing 😳

me I went DIY store, food shopping, a quick spin around our local singletrack and managed to max my heart rate to 198 which is good for a 53 year old, dont worry my resting is 58 and it drops from 198 to a usual 170 in about 5mins of easier peddalling, then picked kids up from school, took 5 yr old climbing at the local gym, cooked dinner , took oldset son to football pratice,washed some towels, regreased the fs headset which was a little creaky, painted some door stops for work on wed, picked up son from football, put 5 and 10yr old too bed, read a mog story, looked after my wife in amongst all this, she has gastroenteritis and is unable to eat much, poor thing has lost 12 lbs in weight looks really gaunt already had one sess at hosp on a drip 1.5 litres later she feels bit better and went to the libary and got some dvds for the kids to watch, am now going to watch something myself probably "Die hard 4 " its abit long but you did ask left out a few of the even more borong stuff

Morning - submitted to the full city council including mayor how to rebuild our city better than it was in the past.

Afternoon - Worked out a way to save a significant heritage building from demolition and give it a new life (hopefully).

Typical sort of day at the moment in a totally atypical environment within a devastated city.

Tricone, you're not in Bradford are you?
Tell me youlve achieved something with The Odeon

Ha ha. No a long way from Bradford. I am in Christchurch New Zealand. Not even any world cup matches here to cheer us up!
