Ebay sent me this f*****g bed what I ordered and it was like some kind of test :lol:
I can laugh now but man it was not funny for the 6+ hours I was trying to fathom it out

It had no instructions...well that's a lie actually but they were non legible..they looked like spirograph and to put the icing on the cake none of the parts were marked

I had to pull the f*****g thing apart about five times and put it together again

I mean it was a 2 man job but even 2 people with 4 eyes each wouldn't have been able to work out the instructions

It should have only taken me about 2 hours tops to do it on my own and it took me 6 hours...its the f*****g trundle part that was the trouble...

OMC! FFS! So on and so on

Anyway at least I've got a bed to sleep on tonight


My dad and I had an experience like that once. Incomprehensible instructions, nothing made sense, put it together and took it apart again 3 times. The instructions had no words, just a picture of what it looks like when it's done.

And when we finally finished, we noticed a piece of paper in the box that we hadn't seen before, titled "How to Assemble" :lol:

I got up at some ungodly hour like 8am to go to a storage unit to help take delivery of a cooker. Felt like crap all the way there because I always feel like crap when I get up early. The automatic gates were stuck shut because some clown had fastened a big sign on them without thinking the job through, and it fouled on the opening mechanism. Once they'd removed the sign it was plain sailing. I felt better by the time we went home. I played an album by Paul Weller called "22 Dreams" for the first time, and quite enjoyed some of it.

After that I bummed around on the Internet, stroked the cat, prepared some food, and ate it while I watched a video.

I don't feel like I've achieved much. Can't think of anything very clever to do at the moment. I might continue working on a computer program that saves YouTube channel playlists as text files and sorts them all out into neat documents containing just the video titles and their URLs. I like to peruse these things offline and then use the command-line program "YTDLP.exe" to download the videos I'm interested in. It won't make my life much easier but I like writing programs.

Up to now I've learned to do toe manuals (skating)
Well I started to learn yesterday but today I've kinda cracked it today

I'm very pleased because now I'll be able to learn toe spinning

Got up after 3 hours of sleep, ate breakfast, and went back to sleep
Met my mom and aunt for the protest where we marched through downtown and I got increasingly anxious from being in a dense crowd
Afterwards went to lunch where I asked if my meal would come with anything that wasn't mentioned on the menu, was told no, then was served a meal full of things that weren't mentioned on the menu and that I wouldn't eat, so my mom and aunt had two meals
Then went to the end of an lgbtq+ event where I stood awkwardly and didn't talk to people and then left
Now I'm exhausted

we'd go for a little tour,
oh no there's a shop involved
not that again, if there's a buying occasion, it's like a holy mission....
-- who needs fancy glasses, im trying to get rid of the old ones- you can't use them they're impractical,
so they're always sitting somewhere being dusty
8) oho, the neighbors got some, oh it wasn't an accident we got here

I whinged, pouted, and did the banking.

The physics club at my school took a trip down to a particle accelerator lab in the Chicago area. I had to get up at 5am which wasn't fun but it was worth it. Sat in a car with 3 other people for two hours. The tour itself was very interesting, and they also had buffalo, which was also interesting. And I met a really cool person who's about as weird as me, so we talked a lot. I was hoping we'd exchange numbers or something but we didn't, but we're both in the physics club so I'll probably see him again. Overall I had a good time and I'm glad I went.

I did another open-mic session at that picky music place. I decided not to risk "Crossroads Blues" so I did "Cotton Fields" and "The Irish Rover" instead. Went down quite well, was barely nervous this time, and this bloke who helped me out by playing the harmonica said that the rocky Irish songs I play will take me far with the regulars. And I've got more good 'uns of the same genre that they haven't heard yet. He gave me a copy of his CD, so I'll have a shufti at that tomorrow. All this socialising is scary but I think I'm calming down a bit now I'm getting more used to them.

Personal grooming complete
I look and smell like part of the human race again
