Today's act of stupidity: while painting my bedroom (1960's rose pink) I wiped the sweat off my face . . . transferring a fair amount of pink onto my damp visage, later I though someone had hit me in my sleep when I caught my reflection in the mirror ; )

It was so nice over the weekend that I opened the windows in my bedroom. I forgot to close them and today it never went above freezing. My room is now colder than your refrigerator.

Perfect, I'll be right over (in my time living in Seattle I never turned on the heat and never closed the windows; not as cold as you but I like a bit of numbness in my extremities when sitting about the house).

More embarrassing than stpid:

Over my last two working days (which would be Dec. 23 last year and today) This has been the [paraphrased] entirety of the email exchange between me and developers of a software product we're trying to implement here:

12/23 Me: Hey, thanks for helping with the changes - it would be nice though if with these new changes you had retained feature X from the old way.

12/23 Me: Oops, just noticed that feature X is still there and I'm just blind.

1/4 Me: Hey, happy new year. I'm trying to make a change, but it's not working for some reason, not getting any useful error messages. Any ideas?

1/4 Me: Nevermind, I tried a few more things and got it working. But now I'm having another issue, something else isn't updating right.

1/4 Me: Apparently the path to clarity for all of my problems is to shoot an email off to you guys because once again I've figured out the answer.

They're based in Israel, so they probably didn't see my first email on the 23rd until I'd already sent the "nevermind" email, and they will probably show up tomorrow morning to find I've spammed them with three more ultimately superfluous emails today. Sigh.

Alex · 01-04-2011, 04:05 PM

Hey, I'm doing a lot of work with a vendor in Israel. Probably not the same one though.

But yeah, the fastest route for me to find an easy answer is to put my confusion out there for public consumption.

The fast way to get something fixed is to have someone stand behind you while you're trying to explain what is broken. It magically becomes fixed!

Ow.

Took a spill off my bike today. No major damage it seems. A couple of skinned knees and a decent bump on my elbow, but everything seems to be in working order.

Entirely my own fault. Broke my cardinal rule and paid the price. Had to stop short and take hard turn, and the bike stalled out and I got dumped. Found myself with my left leg pinned under the bike and right foot jammed in the fronts spokes. Struggled to get it unjammed for a good minute before someone finally got out of their car to help.

I'd say my pride was hurt worse than anything...but no, that fvcking hurt. But I think I'll live. And maybe next time I'm faced with the opportunity to break my cardinal rule for no good reason, the sting of the antiseptic spray will have burned itself into my brain as a warning.

Mazel tov. You're a man now.

Ow. I'm sorry GD. That sounds brutal, take some Tylenol and maybe a nice cup of tea. At least someone got out of their car to help, instead of leaving you tangled up.

Take it easy on the way home.
