That's exactly the sort of experience we think we don't want with this bike-riding thing. But its the sort that sticks in your mind for ages, and you never forget that you felt forsaken out there, and thought you would never get home.
But then when you do ...
That's the best feeling. It's one of those "aaaaah" moments and you get a warm sensation of "Fucking hell, I made it back!"
Great description. I could really feel the angst of that wet darkness.

Not sure of the warm sensation. My socks are still drying out
To grind gears further, turns out the battery wasn't it, the stator is goosed |

Some rides should come with a Ride of the Valkyrie soundtrack. Helmets should be fitted with a special chip to play the MP3 in the appropriate conditions. |

And I can tell you now, I Do Not Like It.
I've always loved working, I love the buzz when it's going right, and I even quite like having to work out how to solve fuck-ups (most of the time). I like a bit of a challenge
But for the first time in ages (literally decades) I am starting to feel like I don't want to keep working like this all the time.
But I can't stop, cos people want/need/rely upon.
Most frustrating.
I really need to take a little breather.
I am not irreplaceable. Need to remind myself of that. | I was waiting for 5pm yesterday so I could put my out of office message on, it was delicious moment, leaving all the current crap for a week. I still did some stuff for another hour or so because it will ease my return, but only for my benefit
I even cancelled some work in the morning because a developer didn't answer three repeated emails spread over 6 weeks with information I needed. They bloody answered that one at 4:45pm though, demanding to know what was going on. My last reply before the out of office went on was they need to answer enquiries when they are made and if they didn't like it they should complain to my overseers.
Their next email will have to be dealt with by my boss's boss (my actual boss has gone and will not to be replaced to save money). ____________________ Blackmail is a nasty word........but not as nasty as phlegm!

Apart from the fact that the US has them as well, but not just to the same scale.

I suspect you've answered in the wrong thread and this should be in the Covid vaccine issue one, but hey ho, we all have senior moments.
Well, either they were in on it, as they were $0.6M in on the Bat Covid/transferring to humans research according to the Fauci hearing, or maybe they didn't have 100,000 prefab beds standing by, just in case a wet market, near the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Bat Coronavirus was being studied, enhanced and developed so it could transfer to humans, sold a dodgy bat? |

See gear-oiling thread
I had to put a lid on the nostalgia-ravine by sitting down and having a joint.
I'll go back down it another day (when all the remains of my daughter's photos have dried out )
Got to do it. If I decide to go to Aus for Christmas, I may as well haul all this old stuff of hers/her father's with me
It's her time to curate it, not mine. I've done my bit.
I can throw out a few bits of paperwork into the shredder, etc., irrelevant stuff, but I can't throw away old curled photos that are stuck together, that's her history not mine.
God its a bittersweet little project ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

You know you can wash photos (proper ones taken with a film camera)? Like put them in a sink of clean cold water, swoosh them about for a couple of minutes then hang them up to dry on a little clip. They come with a slight curve because the automatic developer machines dry them on a heated stainless steel roller after developing. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

The Eyetie shrink has succumbed to Covid, so now all his patients' appointments are going to be backing-up and/or they will be desperate for their medications and will be pestering me at close range until he is better.
Which is unknown
He says it has KOd him, it's much worse than he expected, and that he can barely stand.
Crikey
Better pull me socks up.
