Make life easier: don't think

I was in for a shock when I Iogged into my computer account at school this morning. Or rather, TRIED to log in.

"Login denied. You have been locked out of your account. Please contact a network administrator." was the cheerful message designed to brighten up my day.

So, as I was traipsing up the stairs to the ICT dep., I began to wonder why I had been locked out. The usual reasons for an admin locking you out at school is one of the following: you have been playing too many online games [yep] / you have entered a virus onto the IT system [don't think so] / your 'friends' have tried to guess your password too many times [probably]. So, with a 1 out of 3 score, my chances were looking pretty slim.

It was with a heavy heart that I summoned up the strength to knock on the door. "Oh, sorry mate, I'll just reset your password for you"

I could have hugged him. I didn't. Instead I mustered up a world-weary grin, and thanked him.

It just goes to show - life is an awful lot easier if you don't think.

Man found starved in desert surrounded by packets of food

It is only a matter of time before the above headline appears in one of the newspapers. Have you tried going on a desert exploration with a couple of packets of nuts, and some beans? Obviously not. You're still alive to read this.

I'm not sure the harsh reality of this crazy situation has quite been realised yet. I bought a chocolate bar as a little treat for myself. I tried to open it. Tear at the seam? No. Pull the heat sealed halves apart? No. Bite the end off? Nope. Get your fingernail under the hopeless little flap? No.

I resorted to cutting it open with a pair of scissors.

So, as I was out, I bought a pair. Brilliant packet design. You need a pair of scissors to open the packet of a pair of scissors. I'm sure there's an irony in there somewhere.

So I bought a knife to chop the packet open. Sealed packet. Penknife? Plastic seal. In the end I resorted to the stone age method. I grabbed a Flint and scratched away at the packet containing the chocolate bar.

"So what?" you ask yourselves. I'll tell you.

This is simply another example of the short-sightedness of the current population of humanity. No forward thinking.

Which is why the olympics are being hosted in the UK.

Friday Favs #3

Sorry, but this really was funny...

Moral high-ground?

The time has come when the applications for Head Boy and Head Girl come flooding in. Or more to the point, are sent by me. [yeah, haha not the one for Head Girl]

Anyway, we've had the interview, the team building excercises etc. and now we just have to find out who's been selected. We were going to find out on Friday according to the letter. Friday, according to the headmaster when he 'interviewed' us. Friday, according to some guy who asked him during Fridays lunchtime. Yeah? Well it's Tuesday now.

Can you guess what the requirements are? Good attendence, punctuality, reliability, and many more ...ility words.

Funny, that.

No entry to dirty hands

Yup, it's time for another signs post. This time it's the 'No entry to dirty hands' sign that is lucky enough to be talked about (if you have anything you would like me to blog about, please type it into the bar in the sidebar somewhere, or contact me).

I'm sure you've all seen it. There is a picture (the kind you'd expect to find in cave drawings - you know the type) of a man with a big grubby hand stretched out toward you. There is also a big red circle with a line through it, showing, if I'm not mistaken, that people with dirty hands are not allowed access.

The real meaning? No access to unauthorised personnel. Yeah right.

I'm suprised they don't have to have an arrow pointing to the nearest wash-room.

Norfolk - squeak

Just found this ancient post which I never uploaded. Soz guys: here it is...

Well here I am - on holiday at Norfolk. For those of you who are just as bad as me at geography, it's on the top of the right hand sticky-out bit of England. Right. Now that we've got that sorted.

First impressions? Well, actually I guess it's second impressions seeing as I've already been here. Second impressions? Mmm, better, bigger room than I had last time. Great!

"SQUEAK"

Yeah, I found the loose floorboard 5 seconds later on my way to check out the sea view. Now. If you had to position a loose floorboard in a hotel room, where would you put it? Near the wall, so that the least number of people tread on it? Or between the end of the bed and the sofa, so the only way past is to tread on the blasted thing? Have a guess.

It's not that bad though. It's just a pity that everyone in the room will have a very vivid picture of when you get up to go to the loo at night, and how long you take. Hmmm.

Pill boxes for children

This isnt just related to pill boxes, but anything child-proof. Have you ever noticed that children find it the easiest to get into dangerous packets?

Pill boxes, medicines, Bleach are just a few that this theory applies to, but anything anti-child really.

Older people can't open them because of their rhumitism, parents can't open them because they've still got their fingers in plaster from when little jimmy bit them, and nobody else can because they're allowed to.

Children on the other hand are not.

Which is why they find it the easiest to get into.
