The low ballers on eBay. Do they ever wonder why no one takes them up on their offers?

Sony Xperia Z5.

Had one since February. It developed a fault with the screen stopping responding. After it coming back from Sony 'repaired' it still had the issue.

Finally got the handset replaced, this one now reboots itself and hangs with the flashing red LED.

Even now, I've powered it on and it sits at the first 'Sony Xperia' Screen, doing nothing.

£460 phone, a brick.

Tried a software restore, tried everything on their forums that just keep saying 'contact your nearest support center'.

Time for a new brand me thinks.

Asian dude on mobile, nearly crashed his beat up old Micra into the side of me as he was not paying attention, the GPZ I was on nearly bought the farm and me along with it.

Bought large coffee, was small coffee. Charitably I'd call it a large espresso.

Did come within spitting distance of the jitters though, so not all bad.

Went on the Tube in peak time. It was a bad idea. For 20 mins I had to put down the book to save space for my fellow comrades. Such sad.

I have somehow bitten the meaty bit under my tongue, I did it around a month ago and its still not healed up properly. Very painful to swallow or chew as its still pretty swollen.

Ouch

Got an email this morning from amazon for a prime subscription and pair of £90 trainers I didn't order. The idiot ordered to my address so sent the seller a message with his name and address in.

He's no idea what he's just started

Today's WGMG, my employer.

Last year we took over a company and made a big song and dance about keeping redundancies to a minimum.

Yes, the Underwriters were safe. The back end staff were royally fucked. Those that were kept did the dutiful thing and told us to get fucked and we're still reaping the 'rewards' of our cuntishness.

Today it was announced that we will be acquired. Again, "very few redundancies" with some BS excuse about our business differing and being a great 'synergy'.

It's already been made very clear that the execs are safe so that pretty much means again, the back end staff will get fucked hard.

Needless to say, I hate American companies, nasaly, whiney, circumcised, corporate cunts!

I'm on antibiotics for a chest infection. I'm also trying to quit smoking and feel a bit homicidal. And now the antibiotics have upset my digestive system. Had to take the night off. (Unpaid.) Hubby is doing some work from home and has been swearing at the PC for 20 mins. The kitten is murdering my ficus and my neighbours are playing bastard bagpipe music again.
I have woe. And my nose looks like a festive reindeer's.

Mathematical symbolism. Take a very simple system, and describe it with a set of Greek abbreviations. Because that makes it easier to understand than pseudo-code or an Excel formula, and paradoxically shows how smart you are.
