And Woden is silent d! (fly 24/7!)
Silent D

Sorry Zelda, I missed this post! You're going to be awfully disappointed I'm afraid, because the current model only comes in one color: white. I like it though

Oh, I'm working on that right now

You're lucky. I've been bored for a few months already at work, and trying to find something else (Friday may be that day, when I'll discuss a contract proposal with a bank), so I can't escape at all the dissapointment I have towards the current work/company/life (what's the point fighting with everything?) etc.
BUT! It gets worse (for me). Curently my boss is giving me PLENTY of work!
So I envy you a little...

My day, so far:

Got up and found one of my cats (Sammy) had gunk running out of her eye - chase cat, triage eye, make appointment to take cat into vet this afternoon.

Late to work.

First question at work: "The paper tray has broken off the fax machine. What should we do?"
I suggest gluing it back on. Faces light up, smiles -- "Oh, we could glue it back on!"

Second question: "The printer in the back room has stopped printing and is blinking."
Me: What is on the display?
Them: "Out of paper."
Me: Maybe you should put some paper into the little drawer marked Paper Tray?
Them: "Oh. Will that make it print my report now?"

With this kind of start, the visit to the vet should be really fun today.
Another week of cat-wrestling to get eye drops in no doubt. Can't wait!

Yes, I am lucky, but I like to complain It's true, I love my job most of the time, and this particular contract is looking good so far, and I know I won't be bored for very long. And besides, I get paid very well for not doing much for a time. So yes, I am lucky
