He is back... and that really makes me realise how much better it was without him.

Something I find very funny - evilness filters. You know at work there are spam filters. and we also have one that does naughty words. I know that because in a bonding email exchange with a client (the one I miss and they aren't really "mine" anymore), the server let me know that 'bitch' was such an appalling word it just wouldn't send it. Never mind that I was referring to a t-shirt which referred to me. Rude. The chick isn't stupid, so I got the message through with inoffensive words that make it obvious what I was forbidden to say. Also - this chick and me have exchanged the laugh riot that ends with a picture of the word 'cunt'.

Anyway. I have to check my spam trap, because IT have only just fixed a major client being marked as spam. I have discovered that 'fuck' is so rude it can't be said. So the software tags it as evil, and adds to the subject line that it was deleted because it contains the word 'fuck'. WTF?

I am now sure that I have formed a bond with Catastrophe Client lady in China. I am learning exciting and extremely helpful things about what she can do in their system. I have promised again to use the power wisely, and to not ask her to do these things without a good justification. People tell me I shouldn't ask random people for help, and to never say anything like "I am a total idiot!", but it works well, I swear.

I used to use the phrase "In case I get hit by a bus", to express why certain things were needed. Like cross-training and access by others to things I can do. That has become too common now (it's referred to as the (Company) bus), I just can't surprise people. So now I have to say "In case I get hit by a bus, or just run screaming from the building". I like that one.

No-one needs to freak out - but I have a letter from my neurologist about two people in Europe who DIED. I think it's a nice, professional letter. I still think the odds with this drug are extremely good. But most of all - I am glad to be ready for the work chick who will ring me to say "OH MY GOD! PEOPLE DIED!!!". I need to find a sensitive way to tell her never to give me medical advice.

My brain just doesn't want to get into gear for any kind of updating. Site software, or OS.
