The Missing Bits Are The Good Ones

And, that title took all my energy.

The last two nights, I lost sleep because it was too hot. Really we are in electric blanket weather, so if you're cold... think of me with just a sheet. And the air conditioner on.

I ordered some books from Amazon. If they don't refund me the cost to return them... then it's on. That was wildly insufficient packaging, it was disappointing, and, expensive as it is, I sent them back. Knowing my luck this will go the way of other fuckwits.

Today I had blood taken, just to get my blood type. On the way home I noted the chat with Dad, who gets $10 if he's right about the type. When it was taken, I watched the needle go in and blood come out. So there goes one thing I struggle to with every month.

Lots of moves afoot at work. One guy got a move which I think will be great for him, and there's a lot of job swapping within our team.

Guy who used to work with us, gave me a spot to look at photos from a co-traveler. Those are great photos. Good quality and very well composed. Also - my quit smoking visualisation helped. That's the one where you picture n outside ashtray, one that rarely gets washed. They get a real crust to them, and if it rains they are just disgusting. The tip is that when you crave - imagine that in detail, then imagine licking it. Now my cravings are very rare and I think it is because my brain just inserts ashtray licking when I thin of smoking. After he told me it worked - I realised it's been over a year now.

At work, I got back from being sick. My desk was hemmed in by boxes, and when I got someone to move those... no pens left. All ws forgiven when they gave me a stress toy.
