Badger 3 Jun 10:21am, 3 Jun 2024 17,165 posts	0 Badger Cycled to work this morning wearing a lurid green Endurance Life tech t. Got to work and discovered I had not put the work shirt in my pannier. Sunglasses required for everyone in the office today.
Diogenes 3 Jun 10:58am, 3 Jun 2024 86,322 posts	0 Diogenes I was feeling pleased with myself for how much I've got done so far this morning, and then I realised that it's 11 o clock already.

Raemondo 3 Jun 11:35am, 3 Jun 2024 11,812 posts	0 Raemondo I made myself a delicious lunch of couscous with chorizo and sultanas and borlotti beans, and forgot to pack a fork to eat it with.

Raemondo 3 Jun 12:56pm, 3 Jun 2024 11,813 posts	0 Raemondo Worse even then the lack of fork (I was able to buy a cheap spoon at a nearby shop), over the weekend some delightful soul decided to push over the chemical toilet at the site I'm working on today. The company has just come to take that one away and replace it with one less thoroughly coated in its own contents, but that means the air is now full of unpleasant aromas where things have been disturbed 🤢
Velociraptor 3 Jun 1:11pm, 3 Jun 2024 69,238 posts	0 Velociraptor The half pack of gorgonzola in my fridge doesn't look very healthy after being ignored for almost a fortnight (mainly because we were away). Fortunately, I have an unopened pack of Blacksticks Blue.
