30 “Toast And Triangles” Comics That Perfectly Capture Human Quirks

Reminds me of a shopping trip to Payless Shoesource when I was young. I brought a pair of shoes up to my mom and said "Can I get these? They're cheap." The middle-aged customer service rep/cashier immediately came over from the aisle next door and corrected me: "They aren't CHEAP, they are INEXPENSIVE!" A lesson I will never forget and laughingly employ when shopping with friends and family to this day, 40+ years later.

Spend the entire rest of the day trying to work out if it was a real genuine compliment, or some sort of coded "you suck" presented as something that sounds like a compliment. Then lie in bed staring at the ceiling all night long *still* going over it. What did you do to deserve a compliment? What did you do to annoy them to the point of wanting to tell you that you suck, but in a passive-aggressive way. That's it, isn't it? I suck. Something I did su*ks. Because nobody randomly offers compliments these days... unless they want something... what could they want? Or maybe I do just suck? Am I okay with that? Maybe, I think I suck too. But.... [and so on, until the alarm signals that it is time to get up]

This is my attitude to programming these days. I'm good at it when I get going, but these days it seems harder and harder to get "in the zone". Far too many distractions. Take *right* *now* for example. The next window down is the stack is the beginnings of a parser (I won't bore you with details) but, hey, something new to look at on BP. After having looked at The Register, XKCD, and noted that the world is still a mess by whipping through The Guardian headlines (but not reading the stories because it's all too depressing - except the guy who is the air guitar world champion, I didn't even know there was such a thing). As for my code? Well, maybe tomorrow... But I'll grumble about it. Make tea. Mow the lawn. Grumble some more. You know how it goes, right?

Personal Pet Theory: A good looking ID card/passport photo is a fake. If, instead, you look bleary-eyed and like the cat shagged your head while you were sleeping, then it's a real photo.

That unicorn is fun.

I was only sick a few times in college... but one of them was during an exam and I remember being really woozy during it. Still managed to pass it, somehow :P

I can only sleep on my side. But because of my back, I turn over loads of times in the night. Sometimes I have to get up and go for a walk and then I can settle down again without so much back pain...and hope I can still get some sleep.

POV: It's allergy season and your snot did that annoying thing where it goes down the throat.
