10

Well i'm almost down to single digits for days until i leave. Things are finally starting to take shape but i have to put most things on hold as i start work tomorrow.

I'm a bit apprehensive about work to be honest. Big names, A+, 1st Class Hons, type people are there at the moment, and i certainly aren't any of those, so we'll see how well i fit in. Apparently they all like to have a good friday night though so that should be interesting.

My rant for the day:
Borders. One of the best book stores to grace the New Zealand country has been distributing discount vouchers via email for some time now and i am a happy recipient of said emails.

My problem lies in this fact; i have no printer so i can't print them and thus use them.

I went into Borders today to buy a book to read on the plane and knew they had vouchers available but obviously couldn't print them. I assumed that seeing as all the vouchers distributed have the same bar code (yeah thats right, they do, you can print 50 of them if you have a printer and go in and use them all separately if you wanted to) that someone behind the counter would be able to just scan one someone else had used and hook me up but no.

They must have some sort of database they have access to to prove that i am on the email system, but no, that would be far too easy.

Irritating to say the least.

Vid of the day:
The little ankle biter has some tempo skills that exceed my finger tapping prowess with ease.
