Various H&S formalities have resulted in me potentially having to go down London earlier than planned on Monday - ie: Sunday, therefore potentially cancelling my Dales ride on Sunday afternoon.
grrrr
networks down. forced to browse singletrack guilt free.
gutted
Just been in 2.5 hour conference call in which I said about 20 words.
Got some quality STW time in during it though 🙂
Edit: Had a sausage & egg buttie too 8)
oh, I just love the M1 on a Sunday Afternoon/Evening 😐
Yeah woke up and my back was killing me...
Well, today's started just as crap as the preceeding 4 days
free coffee and cake at work (first friday of month)
good times 🙂
Right hand crank bolt snapped (square taper) halfway to work. Couldn't get the remaining section out so unable to bolt crank-arm back on with spare bolt.
Cue riding the remaining six miles with only my left leg whilst using my right foot to kick the crank back on...
Fun and games......
cancelling my Dales ride on Sunday afternoon
what what what what what!!!!!
Sadly work related.....
Company said they would deliver 12 firewalls two weeks ago
They eventually delivered 9 firewalls, 7 associated ADSL modules and 9 european power cables.
Kicking administered, they then said they would deliver the remainder of the kit pronto. I come back from the smoke this morning to find a box on my desk, great. Open it up, 12 power cables, all the wrong kind.
So that means we need to buy cables from Maplins today and then I've got a long weekend configuring each device up and sending it out.
what what what what what!!!!!
don't worry, i've told them to swivel.
Sometime around 1am I developed the same cough and fever as my wife was suffering yesterday.
Still feeling like sh*t warmed up and struggling to do basic tasks at about 10% normal speed.
The joys of being your own boss. No sick days.
Good, back to reminising about ships then.
sat in the dark behind the screen listening to old men waffle on about being a successful vet.
on the plus side, a LOT of vets are rather pleasing to the eye
You chosen a route yet?
Dales weather says Sunday: sunny
oh - mr wright. Did we establish if you owe me a pint??
😀
was that from kraftwerk?
no, will be spending the evening with a map and a bottle of red though, just cant beat a nice night in!
Massive panic at work - short investigation, speak to the third party - it weren't me, blame suitably shifted and rightly!
ah, nothing quite beats avoiding the pointy stick of blame
mrmichaelwright are you a vet or a pet? 🙂
OK, so was up and ready quite early today, was about to load bike for this afternoons ride after work, and I remembered my nice shiny new rear mech, I thought OK 10 mins lets put the new mech on, well it wasn’t straight forward, as it’s a medium cage mech and a different type, 2 chain shortenings later and a 30 mins of faffing and it was done.Still wont go on smallest cog at the back though, more fettling. Late for work, forgot my sarnie and my security pass, and all my paperwork... Pants. However I got my bike & all my kit and its nearly time to knock off. 🙂
Due to complete on house sale today..
It's not gonna happen.
Getting messed around by purchasers solicitor..
B*stids.
Not very happy.
I have a crappy start to most days. It's called work!

Teflon Management(tm) ; Nothing sticks, I like it 8)
I'm having a bloody great morning. Lost my wallet on last nights alcohol/fireworks/bikes combo. Its been handed in at the pub this morning, with everything still in it 🙂
Picked up a new client, possibly two, so far today.
And its nearly kebab and beer o clock. WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! Chilli sauce?
- Day flying by so far
- It's Friday
- Txt from girlfriend asking what I fancied for dinner
- Toad-in-the-Hole for dinner
- wine/beer/film this evening.....
Only fly in the ointment was coming downstairs this morning & catching the cat peeing up the wall in the hallway. Although even that didn't get me quite as mad as usual.
day has just improved, i've now got crew passes AND paddock passes for the MPH show at Earls Court tonight.
I've got a beast of a hangover which isn't much fun
Just had some idiot pikey scumbag who is illegaly burning tyres threaten to do me in. . . . . . . . sigh. I dont get paid enough for this kind of crap.
Non-stop since I arrived in work and also on the way to work.
But....it's the weekend in three hours and 20 minutes. I was officially off-call after a two week stretch at 8am this morning. I'm spending tonight chilling out. 7am tomorrow I'm hitting the trails and for the remainder of the weekend I am catching up with friends and family. So not all bad then 🙂
MANFLU
Want to go running this evening, left knee is twinging slightly...Should I risk it?
i've warned you about running nick
put it down to be crappy weather !
Nope off today, stocked up on beer, wine and gin for the weekend. About to hop in shower and then off the station later to pick a buddy up before heading away for the weekend biking and beer. Hell of a drive though it's a good 15 miles.
Not so much teflon, it just really wasn't our fault - for once, still getting a shed load of bad press for it though 🙁
