[Not So] Random Collection of Definitions

July 3, 2007 by

  • Definition of Irritating: No Internet access at home for 72 hours…
  • Definition of Ironic: Internet access fixing itself while I spent for 45 (FORTY FIVE) minutes waiting for Optus pick up the dang phone and not noticing that I was back online until the rep actually answered the phone and I had to go back to the laptop to attend to the issue…
  • Definition of Mind Numbing: The onhold music at Optus.
  • Definition of Incendiary: The effect that the Optus IVR (Integrated Voice Response – i.e automatic answering system) has on me to which I am usually heard to reply “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you”. Seriously.
  • Definition of Satisfying: New clothes, seen, tried bought and paid for in less than an hour… (doubly satisfying in that now, should the occasion arise, I’ve actually got something to wear.)
  • Definition of Legendary: Having a boss who not only doesn’t mind that a large part of my real job day was spent working on an outside (as in private, for my business) contract but who actually downed his own tools and solved my problem for me in HIS time…
  • Definition of Close:Three people sharing a 1 bed apartment. And no, the three of us are not actually sleeping in that bed. I’m on the airbed on the floor. In the kitchen. Between the catfood and the trash can. Now THAT’s close.
  • Definition of Short: The time allowed when you only have 1/3 of a 50litre water tank’s worth of hot water for your shower.
  • Definition of Daft: Writing a blog post instead of sleeping at 23:38.

    72 hours without the innernet? You must have been tearing your hair out follicle by follicle!

    Fi, when you come and stay you’ll be in the hotel section… reserved strictly for the hoi polloi!
    The hostel section of Chateau Deeleea is strictly for felines and family…

    ROTFLMAO! “I hate you” is slightly more polite than the “Piss OFF” I was heard to utter recently, when dealing with the automated optus idiot!
