I may have saved a small child from serious injury/disfigurement today! I was transporting some dry ice at work, and this random guy from estates sees it and goes "Ah, it's cool that stuff! Great fun for parties. I'm going to get some for my daughter's birthday next month!" I reply that yes, it can be fun but you need to be really careful with it. He looks kinda puzzled and asks why. "Well, you need to handle it with thick gloves, you can't keep it in a sealed container or it's liable to explode, the vapour it gives off is heavy and an asphyxiant, you definitely can't put it into drinks no matter how cool it looks or you'll end up burning your face..." "Oh really? I thought we could all play with it..." He looked pretty shocked when I told him that it's like, -80'C and gives pretty serious cold burns >< Idiot.

Arrive in San Francisco wonder why so many rainbow flags around. Wonder why so many people with rainbow stuff. Penny finnal drops and realised just arrived as pride finishes without being aware it was happening. Massive loss of gay points On my part

I'm told that San Fran is basically gay capital of the world heh. If you're there for the Folsom Street Fair, you should check that out :wink:

Or perhaps not if you're on holiday with your parents XD

That would probably be Folsom :tongue:

And it should be noted that there are representatives for pretty much all fetishes and kinks hehe.

The exhibitionist in me wants to go now :ninja:

Also, just missed a call about a job I've applied for with student finance. The woman leaving it was going to leave her extension number, but the line cut out before she could! She phoned my mobile too saying she would try later, so hopefully she will try later. She sounded quite enthusiastic too :smile:

Hehe, I quite want to go too :h:

Best of luck! I really need to do the 6 or 7 job applications I have lined up. I bitch and moan about my job, but apparently that's not motivation enough to apply for new ones. The writing supporting statements and personal statements and cover letters is just so ucky ><

Congrats!

On the job topic, I have a writing test to do tomorrow. I keep putting it off because it's difficult and I'm scared I'll screw it up, but I really want a job with this company.

He is, I think; he certainly spent quite a few years there.

Rubbed my eyes with a clean tissue that was lying on my windowsill. Realised too late it was actually a dried-out Flash wipe. PAIN.

Your random comment seemed so forlorn..so here's my contribution:

I just moved to the UK, bought a week's bus ticket, lost it, cursed the heavens, bought another, thought it would be a good idea to store it in my new purse's back pocket where...in all my brilliance, found the old ticket. All that after handing the driver a 50pound note for the new ticket and apparently becoming the spawn of satan and the cause for his "ge'in a rollicking for tha" -then getting told he loved my "Canadian or US" accent -I come from South America- and being hit on for that :confused:

If the embarassment won't subisde, at least you'll be comforted by knowing that us scatter-brains are everywhere :rolleyes:

Haha, good to know! I've done the bus ticket thing before too, but thankfully only with a daily ticket, not a weekly.

Another travel-related burst of idiocy I'm prone to is buying a return train ticket to somewhere, making the outbound journey, using the RETURN ticket to exit the station (because the gates will let you do that and I'm careless), binning the ticket without checking it was actually the right one, and then arriving back at the station later to go home and finding I only have the outbound ticket in my purse, meaning I have to buy a whole new ticket.

I just spent the evening hanging out and drinking with two incredibly gay but awesome guys :biggrin:

One's a hairdresser, the other is a flight attendant XD

That is so stereotypical. :colone:

On the other hand, why are the flight attendants either very gay or super handsome but most probably straight. That said, I certainly didn't mind the Australian flight attendant who constantly brushed past me during my last international flight though. Oh and when he had to help some other passengers put their luggages in the overhead compartment above my seat. :smile:

LOOL! I'm so terribly sorry for laughing at your pain, but :rofl:

I hope it wasn't too painful. You're not alone however countless times I've done something randomly stupid which has either lead to pain, regret or humiliation. (or all three...) :laugh:
