What cheeses me off

[prozac]

WCMO is spilling half a tub of grated Parmesan while retrieving it from the fridge, resulting in using the dust pan, small vacuum cleaner and rags, plus taking out two vegetable crisper drawers and clearing the bottom shelf in order to clean out little dots of Parmesan. I'm certain I haven't managed to get every single crumb that rolled under the fridge.

Yes, I was cheesed off (at the situation and myself for causing it).

You should have called me. I reckon I could have recovered most of that so you could still use it.

This usually happens to me with tubs of blueberries, and they always roll under the fridge and out of reach.

Ah yes, good old "Murphy's Law"

An important part of learning to drive is the rules of the road but it also includes a very important lesson: You may be right, but you can also be dead right.

A lesson taught to me by my father many years ago during and after my driving formation and probationary years, it's the key reason why we need to tolerate those who break the rules or be a safety risk on the road. There's no point being in the right if you're not alive: as much as God may condemn to hell that who killed you unjustly, it's still a worse deal than being on Earth and feeling unjustly done by.

WCMO are the frivolous maniacs on the roads who drive realising and exploiting this to the fullest.

Whiney post but rude people that arent happy with free goodies. I bake for the office every 2 or 3 weeks, two different types of baking like brownies and iced cupcakes (as Im practising my piping) or brownies and muffins. Always brownies because people go nuts over them and there is never any left overs of whatever I bring in

Someone complained that I baked brownies and cinnamon muffins today - they "wanted something different today"

I said they can make their own choices and bake any time they want, I dont gatekeep baking for the office and anyone can do it. The person said "eggs and butter was too expensive to bake for the people I work with".... but it was ok to tell me what I should be doing with my eggs and my butter

Edit, some samples of office goodies

I'm with you @Denali - that's just poor form. Maybe next time they don't get offered anyway because you know how disappointed they are when you don't make "something different"

Holey flipping moley how rude that person was @Denali

Disgusting entitled attitude.

I know what my comment would have been and there would have been a lot of words starting with F

Keep up the good work and screw the wankers

Surely not. Do they think they are being ordered in or something and not your personal effort? How damn ridiculous. I'd be baking them again next week but I don't bake

Yup. My edit function just censored your words.

The first part of this sounds like a contestant background/bio for the Great Australian Bake-off!! Will we be seeing you on there!?

Tin pot third world airports where car hire closes for the night before the last flight lands.

Was looking at one particular airport, and most car rental agencies close at midnight, I think Hertz seems to stay open until 1am. Yet the airport has 9 domestic flight landing between 23:30 and 00:30 and allowing time for immigration/customs and baggage collection, 6 international flights from 23:00 to 00:30.

I guess most people don't want to rent a car at that time of the night.

I recall flying into Perth arriving just before 1700. I cleared formalities (domestic international) and found that the rental company closes 1700. No response from contact number so I had to do a walk up. Australia doesn’t always present the best service.
