A few things I’ve noticed over the past week:

IT people suck at hiring: the new IT guy seems to be the best choice if the main selection criteria is ‘will, through virtue of supreme mediocracy, never threaten the jobs of any of the existing IT people’

Beef Bourginion should be frozen: because the freezing, thawing and re-heating cycle seems to subdue almost all flavours except for the flavour of the entire bottle of red wine that went into the original six servings and who doesn’t love meat and potatoes that taste like wine

There’s no point in trying to get hair to look the same two days in a row: after perfecting my morning hair routine (which takes all of 2 and a half minutes) I have discovered that my hair seems predestined to follow a alternating cycle of flipping out ends one day followed by flatness the next

Wearing a glove on one hand has absolutely no impact on the gloveless hand: I biked to work with only one glove this morning and arrived with one hand the perfect temperature, and the other a useless claw of palid grey-ness
