Random meanderings

sally_mariaIf anyone has ever wondered what it's like tidying a shop during Back to School, it bears a strong resemblance to a game of Clock Patience. Something's in the wrong place, so you take it to the right place, where there's something else that's in the wrong place... And so it goes on. If you start trying to do it too early in the day, it becomes a never-ending game, because there are customers coming along behind you randomising everything again...
T-Shirt slogans...young guy wearing a T-Shirt that said Suck Fony - was rather startled when I asked him what Sony had done this time. ;-) (Something to do with a Blink182 Album, I think.)
Other guy wearing a Space Mountain T-Shirt which asked "I survived it, did you?". Surely another variant on the question you can't answer "no" to?
Notice on the way home - "Do Not Climb on the Scaffold Without Permission" Oohkay, trade jargon, or just a profound ignorance of history? Because I would have thought anyone with any sense would avoid climbing on a scaffold (especially if they did have permission).
In other news, Linux is still working out well, especially since I discovered that vital piece of software, a wallpaper randomiser. ;-) I haven't needed to use Windows on the laptop for over a week. I might write up some more about how I've been getting on, if anybody is actually interested. This is written in Drivel, a reasonable LJ client, though I do miss Semagic's macro function which meant that I could set up the Dreamwidth coding within the software, rather than doing it afterwards with LJ Hook.
