Things that are making you crabbit! [5]

whats making me crabbit? bloody literature reviews that's what. that and bloody methodology.

Those always make me crabbit too!

The only thing worse than doing a literature review for a paper is writing a six-month progress report.

blurg! why are people fixated on knowing which quasi-pseudo-crypto Marxist methodolgy I have used?

Those are the sorts of questions people usually only ask when they're trying to figure out if you really know what you're talking about or if you're just shoveling horsesh*t at them. The answer often isn't as important as the confidence with which it's given. I'm guessing your defending a paper or something???

More likely writing a paper.

writing one. I do see why they are important but its a pain in the bum.

Ah, I understand. Yes formal methodology is a pain, and yet there's a small masochistic part of me that envies you....

Well... I am working on some large projects at work and am so glad we have employed people who are project management experts to do all the annoying documentation and crap. I just want to get it delivered, don't care if there is a milestone plan in a specific format or the terms of reference is correct!!!

Milestones are okay if very focussed for a specific project, but where I'm at they have 5-year milestones, they keep carrying them over because they never die because they don't make sense anymore so they never get done, and it's just stupid, stupid, STOOOPID.

Oversight should never go more than one level deep. Anything more is micromanagement.

people who lick their fingers to turn pages over. it makes me want to punch them on the nose.

Women who deliberately swish their ponytails as if they are hoping a L'Oréal scout will find them.

Watching stupid chuffing films about stupid chuffing women getting swept off their stupid chuffing feet by stupid chuffing men like Colin Firth in those stupid chuffing "Bridget Jones" films



Id like a bit of that

I'm sorry... there are only a limited amount of us to go around!

tell me about it.

{{{I will sweep you off your feet Azriel and bring you to bonnie Scotland- where with any luck you can then sweep my barrel clean and maybe the fridge, after which, lucky lass, you can could fetch me a buckie And they say romance is dead! }}}

My blu-ray 7.1 player broke You cant just replace the player, you have to replace the whole lot. Speakers, subwoofer the lot cos they dont make the dvd player anymore. So i have 7 speakers dotted around the room doing nothing. Bought one of those soundbar thingies, but it just isnt the same as the surround sound i had. Don't enjoy watching movies anymore. No wonder Dads Army was crap

The plugs for the speakers are normally pretty standard so you should be able to buy a player that is surround sound capable and plug you existing ones in. Might be easier if you have wires under carpets/secured away nicely already.

Not sure how easy they are to find though... imagine most would come with the speakers already with them.

"What ?! you want me to....what ?!......clean ?!....inside where ?!"



Only if I get full protective gear........



OK chuck, when d'yer want me ?

I should have bought an amplifyer, but to big for the space in the cabinet. Was going to get wireless speakers to go with the soundbar to make it surround, but when i opened the box they had
plugs and cords. I said to the bloke , i thought they were wireless ? He said you still have to plug them in, i said there not wireless then are they. He said wireless means no speaker wires. Got
no plug sockets in the part of the room i want the speakers, so unless i want extension cords running all over the place i can't have them



My sound bar.



Wifi these up with the sound bar and it should be surround sound, so they say.

Just run the bloody extension cords. Wrap them with plastic vines or something and declare it a man cave.

things that are making me crabbit is my inability to do what i have planned and then end up with shitload to do....

What makes me crabbit is the inability to understand PC jargon so thus not being able to do simple things like connect a wireless ( hello Chris ) chuffing printer !!!!!

what makes me crabbit is no dragons for 9 months.

Do you all only have 1 thing on your crabbing list? I think I could write a dictionary sized list!!

yeah but its one BIG thing.
