tales from an ordinary world

2000-06-12

Another day of quiet software limbo in the office, when everyone else is home. I often look forward to these times - things get done. No distractions. Once in a while I consider working one day a weekend so I can have a weekday off, but invariably end up convincing myself out of it.

This 750g Toblerone is about as wide as my PC's case. But I had to buy it. I couldn't help myself. I had to know if it was for real.

Next door, Serbs gathered to protest outside the American Consulate with banners and megaphones. I wanted to take a photo, but thought better of it. By the time we drove past on our way home, they'd all gone, but in the reflection of the building I noticed they'd cleverly left a flag and a few balloons in a tree, where everybody inside the building would see it the next day.
