What are you doing?

mr_x · What are you doing?

What are you up to right now?

I'm sat at work waiting for 2 virus scans to finish on 2 computers.

Bored off my mind... Nobody on MSN to moan to about work, the only thing stopping me from losing my mind is having some music on right now.

Helen

Have lots of web stuff to create but after lunch now coz I am going for a walk!

mr_x

I've finished werk for today (woohoo!) no annoying customers either!! (woohoo!!)

hystericali

I'm on here!

My t'internet is painfully slow so while I'm waiting for pages to load I'm cutting out some random bits for a display at work and am surrounded by piles of coloured card, scissors and a lot of mess on the floor.

I'm also watching Andy Murray play his match at Wimbledon, and am listening to both the washing machine and the dishwasher, and enjoying the peace (peace?) as both kids are upstairs playing Age Of Conan and the other half is out on a bike ride with his mate.

Multitasking there

mr_x

I'm waiting for one of my mates to get on Ventrilo (voice chat) so we can go do some online racing in some 60s and 70s touring and GT cars...

Some of these really:

I've not been on holidays since I went to Austria with my parents 3 years ago.

Right now I've just finished tidying up my workbench, and just made coffee... Now I'm having a break and drinking said coffee.

Helen

*sends biscuit down tinternet cables*

mr_x

55 minutes until I finish work.. nothing to do, I'm drinking yet more coffee, and there's nobody on MSN to annoy either.

Time to attack Yahoo Games.

TreeHeart

Waiting for my hot dogs

I haven't been abroad since Nov 05 when we went to London.

mr_x

I'm falling asleep, about to grab my first beer of the night and put irobot on film4.

hystericali

regretting spending far too much money on yet more plants for my garden. They do look pretty though.

SuperGinge

mr_x

I'm talking to Hannah on MSN *waves*

And also watching Ross Noble's Unrealtime DVD while drinking a beer.

hystericali

I'm eating my tea

I love the BBC.

hystericali

Hey Manu

I'm looking for some converse online and half watching a film

wildflower

im sat here with wet hair and a towel wrapped around it waiting to hear if ive got this job eeeeeek!

TreeHeart

Good luck Carroll

I am about to get washed and dressed to go out, got to go post office pick up some packages and then craft shop.

mr_x

fingers crossed Carroll!

I'm still waiting for somebody to get back from me from those 3 jobs I applied for in Leicester.

Right now I'm drinking coffeeeeeeeee putting off doing the next job because I can feel that it's going to be an annoying one. >.<

wildflower

thanks guys, i got it whoooooo

cant wait to start!

aww chris its awful when you just have to sit and wait and you dont know whether to assume that you arent successful, or whether to wonder if they are still processing the application forms! I hope you hear something soon

mr_x

Yeah I'm itching to find out too!!

Right now I'm waiting for somebody's computer to finish its testing.

hystericali

I'm fed up because there are no batteries in the remote and I'm stuck with Emmerdale on the TV, and I can't be arsed to go and play 'hunt the batteries'

We only have rechargable batteries so they could be anywhere!

mr_x

hystericali

I looked at the buttons on the side and seeing as the OH only ever tuned Sky in and not the terrestrial programmes if the TV goes of AV then I couldn't get it back on AV without the remote, but I do admit to having 'useless female' and lazy tendencies about stuff like this. Where would I be without labour saving devices

mr_x

2 1/2 hours until I go to bed... nobody's on MSN, not alot on telly.

Maybe time to stick some Family Guy on

I've not eaten yet either since lunch time... might be time to put my imaginary chef's hat on too.

hystericali

filling in an application course for another course. More evening classes ahead.

I've just discovered the course is £610

mr_x

:o that's quite steep Ali! What is the course doing?

hystericali

TreeHeart

I am sitting with hot water bottle on my belly

all bloaty and crampy and just about to have a tequila shot haha Last of the bottle

Helen

mr_x

Sounds quite arsey Ali!

The best way to look at it is which way would make it more worthwhile at the end of the 2 years?

Cost may be an issue, but if the higer cost one will cover that cost after you're done with it through a higher salery or whatever then go down that way.

hystericali

I wish it was that easy, both routes lead to the same pay grade

TreeHeart

Wishing I had not eaten so much today! I am still uncomfortably stuffed. I had 2 scoops of shepherds pie(made myself) then a dip dap then a bowl of lucky charms and a double lolly! Not all one after the other mind, but since 7pm. eughh

mr_x

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm kettle extract

Helen

i am trying to be clever and create a web page using CSS but cant quite get it right grrrrrrrr

mr_x

oooo CSS you clever person.

I got lost at programming of every kind! I'lll stick to the technical stuffs.

I'm at werk waiting for something to happen.... the other technician has some utterly shite music on that is slowly starting to piss me off....

mr_x

Back from work and filling my car up with liquid for tomorrow (£41.95 for 3/4 of a tank - I had 1/4 tank left from last fill - better than the £45+ it would have been if prices hadn't dropped!)

Now I need to dig out the bin that is my car... oh dear...

SuperGinge

Haha...sounds like you're having lots of fun chris

And i'm currently waiting for my dinner to cook, and listening to my mp3 player...might print of some tab....depends if i can be bothered....haha...

TreeHeart

Drinking some Cult energy drink, going to watch some friends and knit, listening to Stephen groaning as he keeps dying in the last dungeon in Zelda haha

mr_x

I'm burning some DVDs... lots of them... Burned 7 off last night just for 1 person who wants some stuff* off me. :o

*stuff may not be legal

Museclues

TreeHeart

Cooking some mashed spuds and mexican snozages.

Museclues

wildflower

Museclues

im chillin like a villain!

lookig for music off of frostwire lol

mr_x

just got home after 3 1/2 hours on the motorway... well 3 really, they're empty at this time of night on a sunday, so erm... 80-85mph all the way was safe.

Now I have to get this Relentless out of me (like Red Bull but stronger!) before i go to sleep!

SuperGinge

haha, did you enjoy driving all the way back with your radiohead mix tape?

mr_x

it didn't work!

All the songs were on the CD, but because I had them on as .mp3 instead of the usual audio format they were all in alphabetical order. >.< I forgot to tick the box that burns the playlist onto the disk with it so my car MP3CD player could read it in the right order.

In the end I just put that disk in on random at a high volume!

Right now I've just got out the shower and finding there's nobody on MSN to talk to tonight! :o

SuperGinge

oops

I'm just waiting for my parents to get home from london...i have a present

mr_x

I have a total of 2 people online on MSN... neither of them are talking!! grrr.... Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bored! >.<

Got some music on, browsing websites, but running out of websites to browse... I might stick GTA IV on... but I dunno if I can be arsed to set the xbox360 up again...

grrr... annoying night!

ashentara

treating my mosquito bites
damn mosquitoes

Museclues

mr_x

mmmmmm coffeeeeeee

I quote when I say...
"Werk sucks"

hystericali

I'm thinking about what I need to do tomorrow. Housework anyone?

I have to make a treasure hunt with an egyptian theme for the summer school next week. Gives me an excuse to go to the really cool art/school supply shop

Museclues

studying fro my summer school finals....

tomarrow i take one for math and 1 for science, and on friday the teachers discuss...im nervous of course....

i suck at algebra what i get on the test will make or break my grade.

however on the other hand, science[my favorite subject of all!!!] im not worried about, simple, and im confident about that one.

mr_x

I hated Algebra.... As soon as they put letters in MATHS it got confusing... letters belong in ENGLISH and numbers belong in MATHS.. they aren't made to mix with each other!

hystericali

see, I f*cking SUCKED at Maths at school, failed my 'O' level (the thing before GCSE's for all you young 'uns, I can safely say that Helen, Carroll and myself are the only ones on here that did 'O' levels

), but that's the joy of going back and working in a school. ALL THE STUFF I DIDN'T GET IN THE MID 1980's ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOW.

mr_x

have you noticed how 'maths' isn't 'maths' anymore... it's 'maffs'?

I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally bored at work... can you tell?

hystericali

god bless chavs

Museclues

SuperGinge

Oh dear...maffs...haha

I hate it when the kids at school dont pronounce things right! God damnit! Get a proper vocabulary!

I suck at maths...i'm not looking forward to getting my results

mr_x

i h8 it wn ppl tlk in txt spk lk ths 2...

It really takes much less effort to type words in full as you know where your fingers are going on the keyboard for the full words... not wondering where they're gonna go for the letter after the next ones that you missed out...

also... people who say 'lol' or 'lmao' and similar annoy me.

Helen

my sons favorite sayings are LOL and CBA!

Ali oh yes I remember O levels! (only did one - i was too dumb at school to do anymore! - or maybe it was because I was messing about too much

)

SuperGinge

mr_x

It's alright... It doesn't bother me too much if something is said after it... But if it goes like:

Chris says:
blahblahblahblah (insert sentence here)
<insert name here> says:
lol

and nothing else... it really annoys me... because it really helps with the conversation! From what I remember, you're not like that though Hannah.

SuperGinge

Fair enough...i dont do that

I only do that to people i reeeeeaaaaallly dont want to talk to, cause then they can't reply to it

mr_x

mr_x

hehe only kidding.

Didn't work properly as it hit a new page.

my policy of people who say 'lol' and nothing else is to say nothing else to them until they say something constructive.

hystericali

erm, thinks of a really constructive way of saying that I'm recovering from the first day of summer school.

I'm waiting to go to the doctor. I have an infected insect bite on my foot, my foot is swollen from my toes to my ankle and its turned purple and about 2cm higher than my other foot with the swelling. I was winding the kids up at school today by saying I was hatching an alien that would randomly burst out of it. They think I'm crazy you know.

mr_x

Ali, you? crazy? naaaaaaaah...

hystericali

mr_x

That's 1 better than 'Rogue Nutter' isn't it?

hystericali

damn right

SuperGinge

hystericali

Forwen

hystericali

the summer school I'm involved in is for pupils on the 'Gifted and Talented' register, and its based on various extension activities to encourage them to 'think outside the box', ie problem solving, team building etc. Its an oppertunity for them to get lots of one on one attention and there's only 15 kids in the class too.

See, when people generally think of children with special educational needs they think of lower ability pupils, but the G&T pupils are also classed as special educational needs, but at the other end of the spectrum. I can even bore you with figures - 3% of each class / set should be identified as gifted and talented - 2% should be gifted academically and 1% should be talented - ie arty or sporty. You're basically talking about the top 3% of each year.
I worked with the G&T pupils in the primary school, and its all about pushing them to achieve by using different activites, and differentiation within the task.

See, when I go all nerdy it sounds impressive, but then I have aliens living in my insect bite

wildflower

haha ali you nutter!! sounds like youre having fun! apart from the insect bite that is! sounds horrible

ive just got home from work and am chilling watching big bro, reading posts on here and having tea and toast

mr_x

Sounds like fun Ali!

I'm at work waiting for a Windows XP install to finish... It's like watching paint dry!

Forwen

I've just sold my weekend camping ticket for V festival to a lovely lad, who I spoke to earlier today about the sale. Such a shame he's married.

I'm now waiting patiently for confirmation of his payment from Paypal......*waits*

hystericali

well, my bite is nearly healed up now....

I'm watching the Olympic opening ceremony thing

Helen

I watched the Olympic opening thing - went on a bit long so didnt watch all of it - am now wondering what the Uk willl be able to produce when its our turn......
