Before I go back to sleep

“Sheest” is a much better word for bed coverings than “sheets”.

I can hear the cars shushing past on the wet road… that's a nice sound. You don't hear it much in California.

Ambimoustrous

Example 1: When someone asked how many of us were left-handed, Dick Gabriel said that he was partially ambidextrous, to which Guy Steele volunteered that he was ambimoustrous. I like.

Ah, so that's what the word is. Ever since I got awful RSI in my right wrist, I've been using my mouse with my left — apart from on other people's machines, where I can naturally use my right.

3am again

Oh dear, another day has slipped into the next… I shall have to stop doing this.

At least it was a good day, filled with deliveries of all kinds, inbound and outbound — a welcome FedEx delivery led to a UPS shipment of my own*, and there were a dozen other things sent, too! The afternoon slid by until I ended up in the pub; I got to see some former workmates and old friends for the first time in a long while.

Then, as usual, 11pm until 3am was my work time! It's perhaps not healthy, but it seems to be working for the moment.

* and, unfortunately, a very unwelcome hour-long sit in roadworks traffic!
