Subjecting the entire office to “Call Me Maybe.” Suddenly I’m in a very good mood. 🙂
Wow. 50 Shades of Grey got real embarrassing to read on the bus *real fast*.
@imdominating My coworker and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. I used a gift cert, so didn’t pay actual $. 🙂
@knitness Pretty much!!
The plumber is here… 45 minutes early! We’re going to have a working sink and dishwasher within a few hours!
@drkknits I think he died when a cave bear ate him, so you do what you need to. 🙂
Sparky is here and things are being connected. We may actually get to use our cooktop and oven tonight!!
@aimee_maree I did for a while too. It’s like an MC Escher suburb.
@Alacaeriel I do not understand why contractors can’t communicate or be places on time. Commiserations!
Power points and under-cabinet lighting and functioning appliances? It’s like a dream come true!
@Buttontreelane It’s gorgeous! You did an amazing job.
@eileenDCoE Aren’t they vego? ARE YOU BECOMING A MELBOURNE HIPPIE?
@that_alison Very cute! Did you dye your fingertips blue like we did? 🙂

The kitchen benchtop is going in, people! It’s really happening!
First half of benchtop going in! http://t.co/lt1y1Yiu
BENCHTOPS! So very happy. After plumbing/electrical tomorrow, it’s nearly all done! http://t.co/bq8uV3uv http://t.co/5TfL8rmi
Bugger. Plumber can’t get out until Thursday. A few more days…
Last week I guessed it was the calm before the storm. Turns out I was right…
As a friend said on FB, I wish I had lots of money to donate to Notre Dame, so that threatening not to would mean something. #disappointed
Let’s look on the bright side: it’s @kunaal84’s first day at @sitback today!
I may have just bought the Kindle edition of, ahem, 50 Shades of Grey. Anybody else read it? 🙂
@AusVintageGrrl Oh good. Glad you’re feeling better – even if it is drugs!
@RoseRed_Shoes The horror… The horror…
@randomknits GORGEOUS!!

@stufromoz Good luck! I’ve actually got a meeting over in North Syd this arvo. Where’s your job?
@AusVintageGrrl Sending very positive vibes your way today…
Spotted near Broadway. “Should we get one?” “Dude, it’s our DESTINY.” http://t.co/nBAKC2bQ
@knitterjp Actually, he doesn’t know it! You have stumped us. 🙂
Three silly people on the bus to the city! @ George Street http://t.co/Jl2vyEtE

Got to Jamie’s Italian at 6pm, told it was a 1:45 wait! But birthday boy is not to be denied, so we waited it out in the Apple Store. #nerds
@stufromoz @the_snook No! His nephew Kurt just turned 12. 🙂
Woohoo! Finally seated and ordered. Bring on the food, Jamie!!
Jamie’s Italian: great service, decent food, not too expensive. Probably not worth waiting 90+ minutes. Bday boy was very happy though!
@KaisaKaisaKaisa There’s decent variety. No pizza, but several non-pasta mains, appetisers, etc. Even a burger and chips!
@astroboysoup It’s a chain Mr Oliver started in England of “family” restaurants. Sydney opened late last year. Stupidly popular though!
Best of luck to those running the #smhhalfmarathon right now. I wish I was out there with you!
Woke up to the sounds of a 12yo boy watching Dr Who in the living room. Sometimes I know *exactly* what life would be like if we had a kid.
And now the boys are playing Guitar Hero…
Mentioned to 12yo neph that a friend is having a baby. Him: “Did they plan it? We learned in school sometimes condoms leak.” Me: *blink*
@stufromoz Willoughy Public School is more progressive than I thought!
RT @the_snook: What showering as a couple is actually like.(via Reddit) http://t.co/jWsZzwPc // Which hippo am I, huh?! 😛
@squozen @the_snook Oh good grief. I can’t even tell animals apart. I obviously need another coffee.
@astroboysoup And I will be installing Sobi. 😛

Moved desks at work again. On the plus side, I’ve got a window & can actually see the Harbour and a line of Bridge Climbers heading up!

Well, I’m supposed to go to Sydney Drupal meetup tonight… but I suspect instead I’m going to grow old and die on this bus. #trafficsucks

@blakkat Good question… *looks around the room*
I had a surprisingly good time at the Drupal User Group tonight. Learned some stuff, met some people, had a beer. Nice.
@randomknits 🙁 Commiserations on whatever it is…
I should know better than to engage anti-Apple trolls before I’ve has my coffee.

@richbuggy No, I’m calling person who thinks that anyone who doesn’t build their own PC is “mindless sheeple” a troll. It’s a lame argument.
I think anyone who buys a jumper in a shop instead of spending 3+ wks knitting their own is an idiot hipster suckered by marketing. #sarcasm
FINALLY A KITCHEN UPDATE: Benchtop is due to be installed on Monday. Final fix for plumbing electrical on Tuesday. Less than a week left!!
@drkknits @witty_knitter Yes. Very, very tired of having a beautiful new red kitchen and not being able to actually use the thing.
For god’s sake. Precision Sourcing keep spamming me with PHP developer roles despite me telling them repeatedly I DON’T DO THAT ANYMORE.

@aimee_maree I am actually currently sewing together a bunch of old t-shirts into a quilt. Didn’t think of trying a skirt instead!
@msgusset Sorry, was training out in the sunshine! 🙂
First personal training session in many months. I’m gonna be sore tomorrow…
@AusVintageGrrl Lovely! Looks very vintage cool with your specs. 🙂
@Alegrya A lot of cyclists are cocks for a lot of reasons. My peeves are riding on the footpath and running red lights. Makes us look bad!
@VenessaHunt Not that you or I would know anything about such things…!
It’s impossible to enjoy a quieter week at work when I know weeks of intense busy-ness are right around the corner.
@drkknits Was tempted to make a PC joke, but I can’t complete the analogy. man a stall:person a stall::research fellow:research …?

@shanea Same here! But Ygritte still gets her catchphase, for which I cheered. 🙂
Note to self: Just because SOME PEOPLE are still awake raiding on Azeroth, you don’t have to stay up too. GO TO BED ALREADY.
The other lesson from today’s Twitter hackery: don’t use the same password for Twitter that you use for other things – especially email!
@drkknits !! That sucks. Hang in there. Lots of good stuff on the horizon, right?
@randomknits @twelveeyes KICKSTARTER! 😛
Waving hello at @aimee_maree, who I have evidently been following on Twitter for some time, but only just realised is sitting 20 feet away!
Come on board! You’d get to work with me! 🙂 http://t.co/kpGy58qJ
Awww, Blizzard is giving free Diablo to Aussies who got burned by GAME! http://t.co/SBTBQIBK Less bitter about Snook’s WoW addiction now. 🙂
@lemon_lime Aw, should’ve told me you were going there! Just down the hill from our office. 🙂
@redambition On iPhone it saves a copy to the Photos app.
RT @RealTonyStark: If you’re dating a nerd you’re about to start competing for their love with Diablo 3.
Good luck.
#Diablo3
@redambition Ah, not sure then. It used to save regardless of whether you shared, but now I think it only does when you share. Bummer.
@aimee_maree Bah. I already go to bed alone twice a week on WoW raid nights. Really hoping he doesn’t get hooked on this one…
@aimee_maree I read ’em all last year. It was like a death march. But I got through. You want me to bring the first one to work?
Game of Thrones and the last of the goon bag. Good night. (I totes cheered when Ygritte finally said her catchphrase.)
@aimee_maree Which is interesting, because I found it the most boring book. They have made some really good plot changes.
@aimee_maree Yep. Major changes in just about all storylines. Nothing that will alter canon, I think, but enough to keep me guessing.
@redambition Aww, but now we can’t follow you! ARE YOU TAKING NEKKID PHOTOS?
@aimee_maree I’m sure it’ll still hit major plot points. But they’re eliding lotsa plot, combining characters, making motivations explicit.
@redambition Bleurgh. I don’t regularly check either of those places. 🙁
@monnsqueak @Steph_Philbrick Hence the #colouredtightsprotest yesterday. Maybe it needs to be a recurring thing!
Wow. Give @aimee_maree overview of disorganised project; get lovely French sweet in return. I could get used to this! http://t.co/UPONOhaY
Looking forward to this event on Thursday and learning more about the capabilities of Drupal! http://t.co/MR8uaR9y

HOLY CRAP. Hello Kitty Liberty Tana Lawn. http://t.co/5PSYGoww @randomknits – are you guys getting this? WANT.
@twelveeyes Beyond covet? So far I made a top out of it. @randomknits has made a whole dress, I believe…
@randomknits @twelveeyes Bloody hell. $33/yd in the US. Hm. I wonder if Mom can get her hands on some before she comes to visit…
@miss_reecie It’s okay! I fell for it too. Did they get your password, or was it an app that did it?
Haha – just got an offer to buy the damn IKEA chair… from someone in Texas. “Where’s Sydney?” she asks. “Can you ship?” Whoops.
@GeorgieKnits Woohoo! This movement is gonna take off, I can feel it.
Oh dear. I think @SandraHW is hacked too!
@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim @witty_knitter @SandraHW I clicked the link from Reecie and signed in, but changed my pass almost immediately.
@redambition @miss_reecie @SandraHW @witty_knitter Yep. Don’t click the link, or if you do (and log in), change your password.
Blue tights, motorcycle boots, and homemade shirt. Hells yeah. #colouredtightsprotest http://t.co/zvm7XuGt
