Random Irritations

Working with a guy who's surname is Michie. Must drive him a little nuts (as it irritates me) when it is pronounced 'Mitchey' or 'Mickey'. I do advise folks how his name is pronounced but it is as if they can't be bothered - or they decide that they know how to pronounce it and so they'll just stick with that. Or maybe 'ch' as in 'loch' (not 'lock') is just too difficult - don't see it though...

Eh? What's the difference? They sound the same to me out loud.

I'm not even Scottish but know that it is too simple. Loch is more from the middle of your mouth. Open you mouth, a bit like a trout pout, and try to push air out. If you push it out at the front of your mouth it makes a sound like the wind. Then push it out from the middle of your mouth, it should sound a bit more Darth Vader. Then try saying lok, then loch. The k, obviously ch, disappears and the sound is not as defined and is stretched out. Adapt the Aguerooooooooo and you will get it.

No idea if that works for you but it is the best I can do :LOL:
 
Having a burst blood vessel in my eye. I look like I have had most of my eye ball tattooed dark red. It is impressive, but I could do without it. It also feels a bit gritty. Not a good look.
 
Endless IT issues at the new office. Printer doesn't work. Can't get on the server. Now the wifi, which has worked fine for 3 days, won't connect on my laptop anymore. Give me strength. Should have stayed at home.
 
Dropping my Samsung s9 and breaking the screen wasn’t enough, the spare iPhone we have is a piece of crap and I’ve now lost a load of numbers etc. Not happy.

Idiots who block roundabouts. If there is no way to progress, don't just pull forwards onto it and block the traffic. It causes gridlock, and nobody moves, including the idiots.

I had this yesterday, and morons who block side roads so no cars can get out in front of them.
 
my dogs medications.. well one of them

the rest I can source cheaply but this bugger is gonna cost £220 PM......

they are prepared to write me a prescription for it but I just cant find it from anywhere
 
Waking up with a really bad headache and feeling like I was burning up. Little sleep from 1.30 onwards so really not got a working head on so far and still not feeling totally tickety boo. Hoping for a quiet day and then either home and bed or if I can force myself up to the club to play/practice as I feel annoyed (equally irritated) that the light is really closing in now and so after work golf is coming to an end
