My IA today:

I got home from my training day to find a hole in the front door where the letterbox used to be  ???. At first I thought someone had tried to break in, but nothing seemed out of place and when I went in, the alarm was still on, so there was obviously no break-in.

However, there was a Royal Mail card with the rest of the post telling me that a package couldn't be delivered because... wait for it... it was too big for my letterbox (well, duh  ::))!

Thank you Mr. Postman for breaking our letterbox because you tried to shove a too-big package through it :(.  Now I'm trying to decide if it's worth making a complaint to Royal Mail or if it's going to be too much hassle.

Stupid bus changes made me late for work and I have no idea what I will do to get to work tomorrow. May need to ask for a work change pattern from my boss once this is figured out.  ::)

Uggh the new hotmail.  I may need to change to something else which is just a simple email- nothing like facebook or contacts attached.

I've noticed that if I go into Hotmail using Internet Explorer, I get the new layout, but if I go in using Firefox, I get the old layout!

(I have two hotmail accounts and it's easier to check one with IE and one with Firefox so I don't have to keep signing in and out of each account).

I've got 4 hotmails...for god knows what reason...but I have them linked together so I don't have to physically sign & out I just use the drop down under my name on the right hand corner and switch between accounts easily. Have you tried that?

I can't use firefox at work  :(  :(  :( 
For home, I'm not bothered since I don't have to deal with it because it downloads into mail on the mac.

Firefox isn't opening on my Dell this morning. Is anyone else having these issues? I'm using my husband's MAC which is old and drives me nuts!

I've got a few here to add to that  ;)


My IA - the jerk next door...AGAIN, this time DH & I decided that it was high time to do something about it and so this morning I phoned his landlord and told them what's been going on for the past 4 months and they've acutally taken it seriously as they know my husband personally because they used to be his landlord for AGES. So peace may return...hopefully without any retribution. But I guess if it doesn't we can stick it out for as long as we have to until we get my husbands US Visa sorted.

Do it!

My IA is that it like a sauna bath today.
And -- I got a blister just walking to the bus.
And -- cheapo band-aids I got in CVS just immediately slid off (due to sweaty feet)  >:(
