Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

Next Friday lunchtime, phone the nearest Pizza Hut to the gig and order ten large pizzas for delivery to the office in his name. His boss willl just think its another thing he has done without authority and everyone there will have a free lunch. Sweet.

True. I haven't got a degree either and that must be entry level by now for shop work.

Where do you think most of my ex-students end up?

[RichardCranium]

Right. I'm off to Staples to do some retail therapy.

The invoice is in the letterbox.

That'll give them something to think about, even if they only bin it.

Way to go, way to go... (forgive the Septicism).

Say hello to the one on the till for me...

Just been out to get either a wi-fi extender or a wi-fi router than can do so.

The little independent had nothing.

As for Curry's; I just spent 20 training their 'expert' on networking options. He'd never heard of a dedicated hardware firewall. Or using a PC with two network cards as a firewall. Or that a PC can run NAT software. Or having a Wi-Fi router connected to a LAN and not connected to a wall socket provided by an ISP.

I came out of there empty-handed too.

Hey ho.

Maybe I should be applying for shop work.

I've just spent some time finding out what that lot meant.

Maybe I should work in a shop too...

Hmmmm. Stationery....

Ooh, that's better. Skype headphone & mic set for £7. A size 10 stapler for my pencil case. A USB WiFi adaptor my my desktop. Next year's Filofax diary for the Missus.

Went to PC World too. Browsed in there for half an hour and came out with... nothing! So that was a win. It'll save me taking anything back on Monday.

Has anyone, anywhere, ever bought anything from PC World and had it just work? I don't mean 'only just' work. I mean function 100% as promised.
