I learned that there are a lot more races in the world than i imagined (depending on your definition of race) i didn't look into it too far as my opposition was quite content branding me a racist. Instead of putting forth secondary information rather than personal opinion and continuing the discussion.

What did I learn today.

Well that with a little (well lots) of patience you can straighten up the pins on a squashed Socket 478 P4. Took me ages using a matchstick with a needle hole in it (lengthways). And it works fine, posted no probs!!!

Around a third of the pins were bent, and I expected one to snap anytime whilst easing them back up straight, but hey ho!!

Possibly a waste of 2 hours of my life (for what, a £5 cpu?), but the sense of satisfaction is immense.

Can use a hard surface as well, wack the top down onto something hard. (Like the edge of a wall or something)

True, but it's not easy to make money out of that as people already know, and can do that one.

I've learnt the strange feeling of satisfaction you get when it's your last shift before a Legal Paid holiday of 12 nights off.
I am literally buzzing inside like I am about to go raving but am about to go slog my guts out all night.

I do work really ******* hard but actually like it even though I do the most physical job there, My manager came to help me last night & I did 2 dollys to his 1 the Nub & I took the **** out of him for being slow & hitting the wrong slots.

I pawn @ stacking fruit & veg.

Another day spent in post-production studio working on the 2nd MTV project given to me. I've learned so much in just 3 days!

singist · 1 Jun 2009 at 20:48

Serious note:

I learned today that a close friend had passed away. RIP Audrey.

She was a game old thing with all her marbles aged 86 ...... she loved her bloody Mary.

We're all going there at some point!
