Torrent!Fail: Paz is downloading something on a torrent. It appears to have eaten all of our 20 meg bandwidth. The stupid thing is that I think it's finished downloading, but it's eating more resources while it "idles". I don't have Paz's password to check and kill the process, so I am back to dial-up levels of slowness. How did I ever live without broadband????
Weather!Fail: What happened to Spring? I'm freezing to death here! And my boiler is currently 'outside' (although it will be 'inside' by the weekend) so I can't go and turn the heating on early, as I can't go out in the middle of the night if I forget to turn it back to automatic.
House!Fail: The outhouses that are about to become the utility room and pantry have structural door frames. Why would you put an exposed wooden frame in and then build on top of it? We need to have steel bars put in so they can take the frames away. Stupid 1950's crazy building ideas *grr arg*.
Builder!Fail: Why can't they take their mugs back to the kitchen at the end of the day? I'm not their mother!
Fridge!Fail: The seals are going on the fridge-freezer, so if the freezer door isn't extra-push shut, everything ices up. I have frozen carrots and limes in my veg drawer. Limes should not go 'clonk' when you move them.
Dinner!Fail: Nachos for tea, because I'm lazy.
In non-fail news, the tiler starts tomorrow morning in the bathroom, and the joiner will be here on Friday to fit the new back door. I can sort of see the end to all the building work now, although the house is a horrible mess and we'll still have to repaint every room. Does anyone know whether 2mm or 3mm grouting will look better with plain white tiles? I haven't a clue.
Also, Dreamwidth. I've noticed several people mentioning it recently, but I don't know that much about it. Should I be paying more attention?
