Ten things that made me smile this week...
1) The Penny Pot. I filled up the car on my way back from a business trip this week. You know how it is...you have a ?10 note and try to squeeze in exactly ?10 of fuel. As you put the nozzle back, the pump ticks over to ?10.01. On the counter in the filling station was a pot full of pennies and a notice saying 'Need that extra penny? Help Yourself!'
2) Finding out that my four week old daughter can belch louder than I can...and trust me, that's saying something!
3) Sorting through a box of old floppy disks, and finding a coverdisk from a 1992 PC magazine with a classic strategy game I thought I'd never see again (and yes, it was less than 1Mb in size!). I KNEW I held on to that last 486 for a reason!
4) A client telephoning me to say sorry he was out of the office when I called in on the way back from another job. Could he buy me lunch next week to make up for me missing him?
5) Copying a music CD for a colleague (so he can use a copy in the car and not tempt thieves with an original) and finding myself 'mysteriously' supplied with fresh coffee for the rest of the day.
6) Returning a faulty 30Gb Fujitsu drive to the vendor (out of warranty, but exchanged as a goodwill gesture) and recieving a 40Gb WD in return.
7) Purchasing two PC133 64Mb memory sticks in an 'online auction', for ?5 the pair, and on testing them finding they were actually 256Mb sticks!
9) Shaving my beard and mustache off (for safety reasons...Guru Jr. has taken to swinging from it!) and then later watching Mrs Guru get out of the tub with an unusually hairy ***!
10) Getting to the end of another week alive, upright and breathing. That is always a bonus!
Did anything raise a smile with you last week??
